Asses kicked, one cheek at a time

Getting a handle on the bits and parts of this site.

Figuring out how to do styles. Chonch's wife has a very nice look already; it's up to me (and so forth) to make it not only the way she wants it, but also easy to do. .css is my FRIEND. Seriously. She has lots of style, and she will be delighted once I get it in very easy to use style sheets.

Mmmm, gotta love 'em.

And I don't know what the merry hell she has going on with the frames, but I had to go through, like, three sets before I got to the actual content of the page, which is somewhat scary, though I suppose good for security. I'm designing it in tables which are designed to be nested, but I am doing up the templates so that they can be applied as frames also.

have you thought about tableless layouts as well?

Nice, fun, can be nested, and easily manipulated with CSS...I set up the style on my journal to go without tables as well. It was a challenge at first, but works nicely.

I'm also pushing for tableless layout for our web-app, and we use frames, partially for security, partially because of the technology we're stuck with for the moment.

Tables have a purpose, but IMO, that purpose is not layout - messes up text-readers, and makes it harder for other bits and pieces of accessibility.

Am still too new at this. I will probably be whacking head on things and yelling later.

Heh - that's ok - it comes along pretty quickly
