  Dear Mr. Rob
 
  Check the following ling thewink.in/AOO/. I have modified the page.
 Let me
  have your comments.
 
 
  If you send me a zip of the page (and rescaled images) I can copy them
  into a test dir on the openoffice.org server.  That way we can see how
  it would look with the site template applied.
 

 Here is the page, with the site template applied:

 http://www.openoffice.org/test/awardsVK/index.html

 It is certainly better organized than what we had before.But I
 think the first 3 rows should be outside of the table, as normal h2
 and p.

 It looks like there was a character set conversion issue that killed
 some apostrophe's in the text, but that will be easy to clean up.

 I wonder if it would be worth putting the date in its own column?

 What do others think?


 I think we should remove the table, and apply the style used on the books
 URL.

 Something like this:

 li class=ooo3x
 span class=pubdate
 2012
 /span
 span class='title'
 OpenOffice 3.4 Volume I: Writer
 /span
 (a href=
 http://www.amazon.com/OpenOffice-3-4-Writer-Black-White/dp/1480224324/
 Amazon/a)
 br /
 Christopher N. Cain and Riley W. Walker, Quantum Scientific Publishing,
 November 2012, ISBN 978-1480224322br /
 The OpenOffice series provides step-by-step instructions on navigating
 basic, as well as advanced features within the Apache OpenOffice 3.4.
 /li

 and CSS:
 .support li {
 background: #F5F7FA url('lightfade.gif') right repeat-y;
 margin-bottom: 5px;
 border-bottom: 1px solid #C0CBDB;
 padding-left: 20px;
 padding-bottom: 5px;
 border-left: 5px solid #C0CBDB;
 }
 .support li:hover {
 background: #E9EBEE url('darkfade.gif') right repeat-y;
 }



What would you do with the images?  That was the messy part of the
original http://www.openoffice.org/awards page.  Images of different
size and mixed left and right placement.  The images are the jewels in
the treasury.  But the book page doesn't need to deal with images.

If you have time to put together a simple prototype I'd love to see
what this would look like.

  Others also can comment so that the page can be improved further

Re: Open Office Award Page

2013-01-10 Thread Alexandro Colorado 
Not sure why the site is not displaying the changes on the page but I
also put it an update on JFiddler if anyone want to see the page in
all it's CSS glory. (sorry no absolute image links).
http://jsfiddle.net/Km7YC/2/

I have a CSS rule that might need change since I specify a standard
height, but I see some of the descriptions are quite large, I have
some reservations since some of the quotes seems to be unrelated to
OpenOffice itself.

Also thinking about maybe using JQuery-scrolldown behavior and have
kind of a folding event, so users can only see the header, and click
on them to read the quote dynamically.  Look at the demo on the
reference to get a sense of the behavior.
http://api.jquery.com/slideToggle/

Thoughts?
