HOWTO: Changing the Entry Linkbar to a Button Toolbar

[av8rmike]

As requested here by harmoniatrix, this code will change the linkbars on entries to something like the "3 Column" style. You will have to find/make your own button images; however, LiveJournal does have a few default images that will be used if you don't supply your own. The default image size is 22px wide by 20px tall, but any size button could be used,

Ressurrecting an old post, but I have the code working - it's linking to images, but there is a border link around them! I can't seem to get it removed, do you know what I should add?

[av8rmike]

Which journal?

[sleepingchild]

This one, sleepingchild. I took down the code because I couldn't get rid of the border, but I used the exact code above.

[av8rmike]

The default stylesheets remove borders on images, but you're using a customized sheet. You'll need to put the code back in so I can see what needs to be changed.

[sleepingchild]

Sorry! I put it back in now T_T

[av8rmike]

No problem. These two lines in the stylesheet are adding borders to linked images in your posts:
.asset a img {border: 1px solid #9FCC02;}
.asset a:hover img {border: 1px solid #F56903;}
but they're affecting the linkbar too. Add these lines after them:

.asset-meta-list a img,
.asset-meta-list a:hover img {border: 0;}

Also, your header seems to be floating above the page when you scroll down. Was that intentional?

[sleepingchild]

Ahh, I see now. I added that code but nothing happens. =(

and yeah, it's supposed to be floating i guess XD I didn't think I liked it at first but I've grown attached to it now. hehe

I'm not finding the code in the stylesheet. Make sure you added it to the right layer, maybe?

[sleepingchild]

should be there, right in the section labeled
/* ----------------------------- */
/* ---------- ENTRIES ---------- */
/* ----------------------------- */

right? T_T

[av8rmike]

You left off the comma after the first "img".

[sleepingchild]

Yay, got it!

Sorry about all the trouble - I messed up my code too in the process but I can straighten it up from here. Thank you so much!! =D

[av8rmike]

You're welcome. Glad we got it straightened out.
