-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi,
1.- Too many frames = less screen space (I'm using 1280x1024 and the space for the "real content" is about 800x600). I don't like frames, but I don't mind if they are used in a very clever way (really tough to accomplish, though). :) 2.- I don't like (at all) the top navigation graphics (font and size). 3.- I like the left nav bar. Finally, have you considered using PHP (or any other script language)?? You can do a lot of stuff in an easy way (even generate new layouts in plain HTML). I can help with the HTML stuff. You can even convert all the articles to a pseudo XML markup and convert them on the fly. See: http://www.shadowsun.com.ar/~fvoges/misc/xml/test.xml, http://www.shadowsun.com.ar/~fvoges/misc/xml/xml2html.php3 and http://www.shadowsun.com.ar/~fvoges/misc/xml/xml2html.phps) This would solve the issue noted by David Bandel (the use of CSS). You can implement a simple (but powerfull) markup so editors/authors can create acrticles without the need to learn HTML. Answering the question of Net Llama, to every HTML tag you have to add CLASS='whatever': <TABLE CLASS='sample' BORDER=0 WIDTH='90%' CELLSPACING=1 CELLPADDING=5> <TR CLASS='odd'> <TD>Something here></TD> </TR> <TR CLASS='even'> <TD>Something else here></TD> </TR> </TABLE> With this sample css: TABLE.sample { background-color: #FFFFFF; border: 1pt solid black; } TR.odd { background-color: #DDDDDD; } TR.even { background-color: #AAAAAA; } This will render a white table with the cells with a single black line border. The first row with a light gray bg and the second with a darker gray. If you want some help with this, just let me know. I have experience with big sites (ie: www.aunmas.com) using PHP, databases and css. Oh, BTW you can generate dynamic stylesheets tailored to specific browsers (ie: the "border:" CSS property won't work on NS 4).
