Currently there is only a holding page but Im interested in what people would have to say about the way Ive achieved the text wrapping.

Re: [WSG] Question about use of flash in a pure css page
One thing you may want to provide is an alternative text based menu with /or without flash plug ins enabled. I've never encountered a .swf file not refreshing along with the refresh button. :( - Carmelyne Thompson Sven-Eric Buschgens wrote: Hello, I am currently busy/trying to make a pure css website.. Not using tables or frames. The problem that has occured for the menu we are using a flashbased menu. But because the index.php file is only one file which reloads when clicking on something the flash menu also reloads all the time. To see what I am talking about - have a look here : http://www.tripany.com/vdbII/ The thing that I want is that either flash isn't reload on a refresh or loading a new content.. of a way to use flash in this situation where it wont be reloaded all the time. Hope that anyone can help me with this.. else I will have to make the page using frames - which is something I dont want to do [a bit stubborn]. Thnx in advance for the help ! With regards !

Re: [WSG] Review of website please
The bomb animation gets me so distracted. I felt like a seizure was
being summoned. :) It was running in a circular pattern so there was
the hypnotic feel for it too.
The CSS does not validate:

Hi,
The header, if it were a transition between screens it would be
engaging. As a header element it loses it punch sitting at the top of
the page, so when it's done loading, the anticipation is gone, leaving
a so what feeling. Following is an successful example, perhaps
inspiration for a remix.

Re: [WSG] resizing w/ floats
div id="container" div id="left"/div div id="right"/div br style="clear:both;" / - Is what I use. It does validate but I'm sure theres other ways you can use too. /div -- Carmelyne Thompson Web Architect/Developer Alan Trick wrote: Hi, I've built a couple of websites and each time I come up with the ominous problem of using div's as columns. The simplest solution and the one I've found all over the web is to use floats like so: ___ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | stuff | | | float 1 | in | float 2 | | | middle | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |__| The problem is that the containing block, usually another div does not resise to fit the length of the right and left blocks because they are floated. So you get things like this: ___ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | stuff | | | float 1 | in | float 2 | | | middle | | | | | | |_|__|_|--bottom of containing block | | |_| | | |_| This can gets impossible to work with if I want, say, a border around the whole thing, or particular backgrounds. I've figured out two 'fixes' to the problem, but neither of them are what I would like. The first is to put it in a table (which is useing a table for something it shouldn't be). The second would be useing _javascript_ to fix it, but that isn't good either. What is the proper way to do this kind of thing, or does css not properly support a format like this? ** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list getting help **
