[WSG] Opera 9.26 Problem
Hi, We recently built a site for a client and tested across various browsers including Opera 9.26. The site layout looks fine on our machines and we have looked at the site on PC and MAC. However the client's French distributor says that the site doesn't look right when they are using Opera v9.26, revision 8835, Win32, Windows XP. Has anyone ever come across this problem before? The site is: www.charis.uk.com http://www.charis.uk.com/ .

Add...
#left-col {clear: left;}
...and the problem is solved in all browsers and on all resolutions.
The problem was that the left-col got hung up on the horizontal nav's
right edge when that nav grew in height when subjected to font-resizing.
Opera has a 'minimum font size' default value around 9 - 14px depending
on OS and resolution, while Firefox has 'minimum font size' default of
none.

Re: [WSG] Standards compliant CMS?
Hi Adam, We've tried developing in-house ourselves but we've found the solutions we have in place has become difficult to maintain. With a pre-existing CMS and a solid community behind it we won't have to build upgrades ourselves, we simply need to install them. I've heard lots of good things about Zend framework though. Unfortunately we haven't found any CMS system which fits the above criteria that uses it.

Hi Richard, Thanks for your suggestion, MySource Matrix is already on our list of solutions to evaluate. I didn't know Squiz has an office in Melbourne though! Along with solid community support we're also looking for a solution which can supply commercial support should we need it, and MySource Matrix certainly fits the bill. I'll keep your contact in mind. Thanks again! Cheers, Sarah On 3/13/08, Richard Johnson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Sarah, I have worked with Squiz's cms for over 3 years now.

Re: [WSG] inline floated right problem in Firefox
Hi Georg, IE/win handles it like Firefox. Gecko and IE have one interpretation of such float line-ups, and Opera and Safari have another. I prefer the Op/Saf one since it works well for all cases, but it's probably the wrong one :-) 'Probably the wrong one' because it's not according to the CSS spec? Two standard compliant browsers handle the same and other two the opposite; judging from IE's history, it's hard to believe IE would get it right. A better alternative is what I have overstyled a bit in the added example 2-b, as there's no chance of overlapping in such a reverse styled case, and the source-order is the the same as the visual order. One more span needed though. Yes. I try to avoid adding extra span as there are too many items needed to float right. Thank you for the response though.

Re: [WSG] Standards compliant CMS?
Some excellent OpenSource CMS systems that I have had the pleasure of working with for real production work in various client environments include: 1. Joomla 2. XOOPS 3. WordPress 4. PhpNuke 5. PostNuke 6. TextPattern Joomla is currently my favorite for clients with broad needs -- say, bbs, doc management systems, stock quotes, scheduling apps, booking apps, et cetera -- or very industry specific needs such as an auto sales site joomla has it pretty much as there are over 2,700 different modules that easily plug-in to the base framework to do anything. Also, most if not all of these CMSes are skinable with the option of even allowing users to select their own custom skins in their log-in profiles. For a simple yet elegant blog site, WordPress is a good match. All of these are mature projects and each is worth gaining some knowledge of if just to know how very sophisticated these frameworks have become and how useful. Most frontends in these projects may be modified with just acgiod grasp of CSS while others require some good coding experience. As always, YMMV. -=KuRt=- Kurt Lovelace MindRoot.Com On Mar 13, 2008, at 8:16 PM, aleagi [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello, Take a look at Drupal: http://drupal.org It's powerfull, it's flexible and have a lot of coll stuff and tries to follow web standards...
