There have not been a lot of MOTD messages over the last few months. This time around, I'd like to announce that I wrote and installed a new ad system today. You shouldn't notice much of a difference, apart from some short server outages earlier on tonight. Oh, and there's a new banner, visible in the navigation bar on the right. Apart from that, my life has been pretty busy; working fulltime, training most days of the week and [this might come as a surprise] working on script updates on a local Apache server. They should eventually be available online for further testing, but now might be the time to make requests for new features. :) HTML4/CSS support is on my list, and won't disappear, so start bugging Amiga browser authors to finally support these long-established standards. :) Visitors will still be able to use all kinds of browsers, in fact even more so than before, it's just that the layout might look more primitive on HTML 2/3.2 browsers (read: there will be an almost complete seperation of content and layout, the latter mostly implemented via Cascading Stylesheets).

MOTD 10/Oct/2002 : Comment 27 of 29 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Thomas Hurst on 13-Oct-2002 10:02 GMT | In reply to Comment 12 (Christian Kemp): > See ckemp.com or usa.ckemp.com. Both fully conform to HTML 4.01 Strict
> and CSS2 standards. I plan the same for an updated ANN.lu.
They're nice designs, although I doubt they work too well in Netscape 4 (it doesn't handle floats well at all, nor does it enjoy reformatting lists). A bit of stylesheet modularisation with @import would help; leave basic font stuff in the core stylesheet, then @import the layout, colour etc.
I also prefer to use positioning rather than floats, since it removes dependence on markup ordering from the layout itself; meaning you can keep the content near the top of the HTML for CSSless users, rather than having to place the sidebar at the top where the user has to scroll down to skip it each time.
Anyway, if you go ahead, I might see if I can convince Mark to let me do the same with Amibench :) |
