RE: [WSG] Site check Please - new thread

Hi Taco, I would suggest using a percentage to size the text in the yellow band instead of "smaller" since IE has a different idea of what smaller is compared to Firefox: p span.smaller { font-size: 80%; } I would also suggest using em sizing. The height of the yellow band would then res

RE: [WSG] Site check Please - new thread

Hi Felix thanks for the effort. A solution to the problem would be great as well ;-) Min-height doesn't work in all browsers which would be the best solution I guess. Any ideas on why the purple background while it should be white, or is that just your screenshot? -Original Message- Fr

Re: [WSG] Site check Please - new thread

Taco, Don't worry, I'm not one of these nuts who blows up the text to 1200% or anything. I make my largest benchmark the "largest" setting on IE which is the about the equivalent to 2 sizes up on Firefox. No, its not the end of the world by any means, but you know what happens when you ask

May I add that your suggestion would work. However we'd have to deal with other issues like the new white space (bottom of yellow to white gradient) that would appear from the font-increase etc. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Joseph R.

RE: [WSG] Site check Please - new thread

Thanks. How large did you size the font to? We've only anticipated 1 size up, as its already a large font. You can't win in every situation ;-) -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Joseph R. B. Taylor Sent: Wednesday, 16 May 2007 2:32 PM To:

Re: [WSG] Site check Please - new thread

Taco, Everything looks real good with one exception which should be an easy fix: The yellow bar. As you increase the text size, the yellow bar does not expand with it. The content instead eventually hides as it passes the bottom of the bar. If the yellow bar and the drop shadow below it are

Re: [WSG] Site check Please - new thread

I'm looking on a Mac in Firefox. It all seems to hold together fine. My comments are more on the design/layout side. The 'banner' area - to my mind it takes up way too much real estate. It's pretty much half the screen. And there's too much white space on the right side too I think. Another thing

Re: [WSG] The use of web standards (tables vs CSS)

The best one I ever saw was a hilarious, cartoon-infested, yet factual case made against the use of tables for layout, but for the life of me I have cannot remember the url. I'm hoping the mentioning of the cartoons will spark some other member's memories since I myself saw it 3-4 years ago.

[WSG] The use of web standards (tables vs CSS)

Gday, Does anyone know of any research done at any time covering the use of web standards? John Allsopp showed some research at Web Essentials in 2005. What I am specifically looking for is the use of CSS for advanced layout versus tables. Anyone know of anything? Kat **
