Yeah, we are still trying to figure out how to make the content area not so big to force a scrollbar on users with low resolution, but still make it span the whole browser window wher there is no content in the content area.
The problem is that when you specify width:400px and you have a big screen resolution, you end up with a lot of white space on the right side. If you don't specifiy a width, and there is no (or little) content, the content area is smaller than on other pages.
See: http://domm.zsi.at/modperl-site-domm/products/index.html
I added a <div style='width:600px'> (actually it's class='spacer'..), which works for me (Mozilla / Opera on Linux), but Stas said it doesn't work for him.
It does work for this page, but if I go to
http://domm.zsi.at/modperl-site-domm/contribute/index.html it's narrow again. Aren't you using the same css file?
Jonathan M. Hollin suggested filling the content area with a lot of which undoubtly works, but is IMO not that elegant.
but it's probably the best cross-platform/browser solution if we consider the fact that some browsers don't support CSS. Isn't it?
Nice. I will use that!I took a look at the style sheet (http://domm.zsi.at/modperl-site-domm/style.css) and changed a few numbers such that the left sidebar takes up less space, and made it so that the page is allowed to compress smaller such that it'll even fit in 640x480
Seconded!
that myself before but didn't manage to do so for pages this complicated.
If you do page design only with style sheets, the page will look strange/wrong on some browser without proper CSS support. So you'll need a good browser (Mozilla/Opera) and basically forget about non standard compliant browsers. Don't try to be cross-browser compatible, be standards compatible (validator.w3.org is your friend..)!
but we have users of all kinds, and we probably don't want to cut those off, right?
