BARCS continued from long Website Critique discussion

[crmamx]

The topic of discussion has now moved to pure css so I closed the topic Radio Control Model Airplane Club on Website Critique and opened this one. Hope that was right.

 

I would first like to thank gizmola and pikachu who have patiently gotten me this far. Hope they aren't worn out.

 

All of the following is used with permission from maxdesign.

 

gizmola:

I'd recommend you use this site.  One big advantage is that they already have navigation and you can also choose from a variety of different skeletons.  You have to decide whether you want a liquid layout, that expands and contracts with the browser size, or a fixed width display. For a site like yours, one advantage of a fixed width display is that you can put a background image behind it, and being that your site is a hobby club, a picture, perhaps with reduced opacity or tweaked with one of the photoshop filters, might be a nice touch.

I decided on 2 columns rather than 3. I tried building the css script block by block but never could get it to work. I finally figured out how to download the sample.css script and link it locally. I did a tiny bit of tinkering and here it is.

The first thing I would like to do is clean it up and delete everything not being used. He uses this one catch all css script for many different tutorials. Other than one by one and then checking the result, any suggestions on how to go about that?

 

Wow! I just exceeded the 40,000 characters so I will have to continue in another post.

The only problem I have is the width of the nav panel #sample04 #nav (hope that is the right one). I can't get it to expand horiz to the right width. He was using a background.gif which I replaced with background_pinkish.jpg. Would the size of the image have anything to do with it?

 

If not, Help!

I hope you do realize that you just posted your complete stylesheet, and that no one is going to read through that.

 

As for any css topic i recomend you host this somewhere so we have a visual reference and by using a nice tools such as firebug (for firefox) we can immediately see what lines in your stylesheet you mean.

 

Anyway i don't see the image in your html mark-up, so that would not be the reason why your div is not expanding. (a background image in css wont either) what you could do is give the div a min-width:

 

Something like this:

 

div#sample04{
    min-width: 500px;
}

 

There are some free hosting companies that offer you php mysql and everything for free. So you can upload it there and show us. that way it is much easier to help you out on css. I use this one: http://www.000webhost.com/

 

Although this is an okay approach for a first few websites, i rather make my own since the naming of id's and classes is often terrible. for instnace sample4 ? what does that mean... i rather use #header #left #mid #right #footer etc

Thanks for the info.

I posted the complete css script just for a fast purusal and looking for hints on how to clean it up.

I have managed to finish most of my tasks with mySQL and php but I am almost brand new to css so thanks for the tip.

For a quick summary of what I am trying to do, I am trying to rewrite an old, drab, 1990s website (phpfreaks critiques) using css.

This is not too encouraging. I am using Komodo Edit 6.1 and running IE7. The preview is almost perfect except for the horiz width previously mentioned. But the display after the upload to my host is nothing close to being the same.

 

I really don't understand what is going on. I have used inline stylesheets but this is my first external. When I do a view/source on index2.html, it is missing a great deal of the code that I know it needs and which it gets when I view it from my editor.

ah maybe you should have mentioned that. The thing is pretty much everything of that style sheet is not needed,  except for the top part, and the stuff mentioned about id #example4. For instance you have #example5 in there too, but you don't need it. That's the problem when people just use someone's stylesheet better make on yourself happy to help with that too.

 

Like I mentioned in the mail 960.gs is really great its a grid system which is very easy to understand, loadsof examples there too. go check it out and i am happy to help with that.

 

also make an index3.php use php (instead of .html) as extension otherwise your php (if you use it) wont work.

Well i don't know alot about komodo edit, but i do know IE 7 is pretty outdated.

What i do, is design for firefox. if it works there it's very easy to apply special style to it for ie 7 6 5 (since IE is really mind goggling and it takes time to know all bugs.) So download firefox and use that.

 

I also use netbeans as an editor its free also.

 

If you want i can guide you through the process of the 960 grid system. it's really easy to do. let me know.
