http://www.dispatch.com will release it's new re-design tomorrow (Oct.
28). Please take a look tomorrow morning around 8 or 9.
3 months in the making, it is my first, transitional, attempt in making
our complex website comply with web standards.
There are still some tables for layout and there are some extremely
strange urls. It probably doesn't validate yet. I'll worry about that
later. The css does validate.
The next part of the project is to simplify the css, it is extremely
complex and probably redundant, and to continue to move toward
structured markup.
Here is a question for you css gurus:
I want to make an unordered list be a set of vertical "buttons", easy
enough. But I want the list items that are narrow in width be half as
wide as list items that are wide. I have worked for 3 full days trying
to figure this out, it just won't do it.
Look at this: http://www.dispatch.com/list-menu-test.html
In Netscape 7/Win and Safari it breaks after Item 7, and on IE6/Win it
kind of works, but with an "accordian" behaviour.
I also wish there was a way to do this just using one list, not many as
is here.
For now, it's going to have to be a table.
Thanks for your help!
