Good idea, I completely missed out on that other discussion. Did not know |
| 5 |
that the redesign was discussed on another list. |

This looks much better! As I mentioned in my email to you (which I just |
| 15 |
sent moments ago), I will not be able to work on the site until January. |
| 16 |
That's unfortunate, but I'll try to keep up with this list. |

As with the CSS, I remembered that I forgot to mention one thing. I said |
| 19 |
that the cascade will allow us to have a separate printable page (e.g. |
| 20 |
http://www.aaronshi.com/gentoo/guidepageprint.html), but what I forgot to |
| 21 |
say is that it'll also allow the normal page to look like the printable page |
| 22 |
if you hit print preview in your browser (i.e. if you print preview |
| 23 |
http://www.aaronshi.com/gentoo/guidepage.html it will look like the |
| 24 |
printable page). One of my prior comments about adding the printable CSS |
| 25 |
line to make it printable is incorrect. The line is in fact already there, |
| 26 |
the only difference is that in the normal page we set the attribute |
| 27 |
media="print" so it only takes effect in print. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
I know in my reference pages I have a few lines for incorporating the |
| 30 |
various CSS files, but in reality, we can use 1 CSS file to import all the |
| 31 |
others. Would this work? Of course, very old browsers like Netscape 4 will |
| 32 |
not be able to import the additional sheets, but then again they doesn't |
| 33 |
handle much CSS anyway. Really, the proper method is import, but I resorted |
| 34 |
to linking all the CSS files individually in HTML so very old browsers will |
| 35 |
be able to obtain the external CSS. |
