Well, after 2 long days of fighting and screaming and dreaming about this stupid layout, I've finally figured out what things are supposed to be doing. I supposed you want to know, eh?
Well too bad, I don't have it written up yet. But I do know every place in the Plain Jane css style from MT that doesn't work and what to do to fix it. Also the errors in the various HTML templates that make it non-NN 4x compatible.
Yeah, yeah... I'll write them up as soon as I do my Freehand homework. sigh.
I added a "subscribe" type feature so that if I do a big "overhaul" or post a really snazzy entry I could send a notice to interested parties. Sadly for some of you, you'll get a "notice" whether you want one or not. evil grin.
Hey? Who's that woman on the main page? Not me, I promise you that. snicker. But I do look that color sometimes, usually when viewing what others have done, and I actually did roll my hair once. I think.
Alright, have at it. YES... I know that there is some minor tweaking needed here and there for fonts and inheritance. Gimme a break! Or I won't share the results of my tests... including how to change the Search Results template. glare!
I need a tag line thingy! "-)
No offense, MT, but whoever taught you how to use CSS positioning and HTML forms needs a quick lesson in cross-browser compatibility. At this point the CSS for this site (aka 'Clean') as it impacts the Comments forms is half baked, with a horrible hack sitting in place to force the issue in NN 4x.
I guess there's nothing for it but to call in the big guns. Yoohoo, Farronnnnnn... where are you? Fix this for me, would you? "-)
The issue left to solve relates to how NN 4.x treats the Textarea element. It's not allowing for the # of rows before it slaps in the input buttons. I "fixed" the style issue (inline style) on the Div controlling the Visitor input by removing the bit that was causing the problem, and fixed the run-over text by adding a break. So it's either remove the float totally or create my own form (that works) and replace this one totally.
Whaddya think?
Well how 'bout that! Aced it on the first try. "-)
It's a tough life being a slacker, but I do my modest best. [humble look]
