Quickly changing:
body { }
to:
html,body { }
Solved our problem!
We’ve also put in some nifty JavaScript that allows Light Boxes to work if JavaScript is enabled, and the normal pages to work if its disabled!
If you don’t know what Light Boxes are; then you’ll find out soon enough ^.~
We’ve been making some real progress with the layout for the new PoKéQuesT Website.
The new layout will leave the navigation, header, and footer in place while the actual page content scrolls.
This of course; currently has one possible “problem”. The layout is fixed-with at 788 pixels.
This won’t really be a problem for most people; seeing as how most of what will be viewed is text and small images. If CSS3 was out though; I’d be able to make it a bit more flexible (minimum width of 800 pixels with a maximum width at 90%). But, its not, so, we’re not doing that.
The layout has shown problems in Mozilla FireFox and WebKit’s Safari when the Content-Type header is set to “application/xhtml+xml;charset=utf-8″. The background image/color for the <body> tag does not show up. I’m not sure whether to attribute this to XHTML specifications or if its a rendering error for Mozilla and Safari. Either way; the layout works for Opera and IE7. (IE7 has text/html transmitted to it automatically because it does not accept application/xhtml+xml).
If anyone knows any more about this; please let me know. I’m not exactly sure what to attribute to this.. so.. yeah.
I never thought I’d see the day where FireFox was hindering my development.
Well, I’ve been working on Labs. Not a lot, not too much; just enough, and I think I’m ready to tell you about some of the changes that are going into labs.
XML APIs for one, these APIs will hold various information about the going-ons for PoKéQuesT, and will all be placed into an XSLT.
Web 2.0 is another. We’re incorporating JavaScript and AJAX technology to make the website more interactive; and more feature-rich.
XHTML 1.1, SVG 1.1 & CSS 3. We’re adopting the newest standards to make our website work; updating to the latest technology. We will of course continue to strive for backwards comparability with Mozilla, WebKit/KHTML, and IE; but if you want to use the best features; we recommend that you go ahead and grab the Opera Web Browser.
