Turn Blue

[medusasowl]

I about killed my wrist in the process of coding it, but I am very pleased with Blue Gorgon's resulting facelift!

The fixed menu should work now in all browsers and I've added/changed a few graphics as well. I've also added the definition of "Herps" under the FAQ. I need to add a bunch more pics to the photo gallery still, and a few more

Wow, I love the new setup on the Bluegorgon art
pages , so much easier to view . Bravo, very nice !

[medusasowl]

Thank you! Is the Gallery working for you too? I seem to be having troubles with that but the menu is flowing nicely!

[gypsymage]

Yes, its all working correctly. Love the flow , very easy to read.

[medusasowl]

Yup! Had to double code it so it would work in IE too. :P Is the Gallery working for you btw? I think it's spazzing up the java... D'oh!

And thank you! I love those snake title graphics, I'm so proud of them and the FAQ! I hope it helps out the not so snake savvy to learn a bit about them. :)

it doesn't validate, which probably means that it doesn't look the same on every browser. i've found that if you make it work on only one browser, you actually drive away people who use a different browser. you might want to work on that.

[medusasowl]

Thank you, I think I've got it now to where it all at least tentatively validates. The whole character encoding thing has *completely* lost me, which is why it's tentative. But otherwise -aside from the CSS not validating and the Java Galleries spazzing- I think I've just about got it!

[przxqgl]

i've always found that it's best to approach validation one step at a time, starting off with what you know. in this case, character encoding is just a matter of putting in a meta tag that says and then fixing it so that all of the characters in the code actually are UTF-8...

apart from that, once the character encoding is correct, then work with CSS - http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/ - and javascript separately.

[medusasowl]

Thank you! I tried to read the character encoding FAQ but kept glazing over, now they all validate in HTML! I need to take a little break from it though before I throw myself into the CSS and Java, I've been working on it for days and if I don't step back something's going to explode... probably my head. ;)

Thank you so much! Hopefully now it will be more inclined to work across browsers, which is what I was going for!

It's cut off on my browser.

Hmm, how about now? I can't figure out why it would be doing that in Firefox...

[akhiris]

The left hand nav box is still cut off for me. I haven't looked at the source yet... are you using a float?

[medusasowl]

Here's the code that's actually holding the 1st and 3rd column in place for Firefox... It's position:fixed rather than a float. I'm really baffled by the cutting off thing. O_o

position:fixed;
width: 20%;
background-color: #99CCFF;filter:alpha(opacity=75);opacity:.75;
left: 3%;
border-color: green;
border-style: outset;
border-width: 4px;
display: block;
