(Is there a famous pithy quote about how the simplest way to discover your mistakes is to publicly announce that you didn't make any? If not, there should be.)

Date: Aug. 25th, 2009 01:57 pm (UTC)Anything else that's not right?
In Firefox, the image on the front page doesn't line up the way it's supposed to. You can fix this (without breaking it in IE) this way: in cIndex.css, take the "margin-top: 140px;" out of the #transIndexDiv rules, and add "padding-top: 140px;" to the #bkgDiv rules.
I haven't figured out what's up with the sidebar yet, but here's a little thing I noticed while I was poking at it: the author photo at the top of the sidebar is slightly stretched out of shape - the image is 188px high, but it's being displayed as 199px high.

Date: Aug. 26th, 2009 02:16 am (UTC)The problem is that (for technical reasons this margin is too narrow to contain), IE is using a different rule for displaying boxes from everybody else, so every other browser is making the boxes in the sidebar wider than IE does. Which would be all right if they were making the sidebar wider as well, but the site designer applied the rules inconsistently, so the sidebar is staying the same width.
It's possible to make IE follow the same rules as other browsers, and that's something you might want to consider for the future, but for now here's how to make the sidebar change width along with the boxes inside it:
In cMain.css:
1. Remove "margin: 10px" from the div.textDiv rule set.
2. Add "padding: 10px;" to the #transMenuDiv rule set.
3. While you're there, add a semicolon to the end of "float: left" in the #transMenuDiv rule set.
And, to fix another small display problem with the sidebar boxes:
4. Add "border: solid 1px #0f3e69;" to the .boxTMain rule set.

Date: Sep. 3rd, 2009 03:26 am (UTC)It's still a bit crooked in Firefox, though, and I think that would be fixed if you made the first suggested change.
I know the first step takes the margin away; it's meant to. The padding added in the second step replaces it.

I'm not sure what I did differently this time, but the main page now looks OK to my Internet Exploder. What about your point of view?

Date: Sep. 4th, 2009 04:56 am (UTC)However, now the main text block has lost its left margin, in both IE and Firefox. That wasn't supposed to happen.
...oh, I see. The "textDiv" rules are applied to the main text block as well as to the sidebar boxes. So steps 2 and 3, the changes to the #transMenuDiv rule set, also need to be applied to the #transBodyDiv rule set. That oughtta fix it.
And I should have spotted that when I tested it, but I rashly assumed that since the sidebar was the only thing I wanted to change, the sidebar was the only thing that would change, and I didn't pay any attention to what the rest of the page was doing. My apologies.

Date: Sep. 4th, 2009 10:58 am (UTC)Yes, you ought to be ashamed of yourself.
I want my money back.
Oh.
Wait.
Heheheh
How does it look now?
no subject
Date: Sep. 4th, 2009 04:54 pm (UTC)...at least, every page that uses the cMain style sheet is looking good. Now that I think to look, the pages using the cSff and cRom style sheets both (still) have the sidebar problem...
