I’m trying some more stuff with the CSS, including adding back the logo in the header. This CSS is lousy with fixed pixel amounts that I wish I understood how to get rid of. If it looks particularly asslike in your browser, leave me a comment so that I can figure out what to do. CSS is one of those things that is so conceptually simple but really hard for me to get to show what I want it to show.
CSS Farting Around

Dave, here’s a screen shot of your page:

You seem to have a few problems (at least looking at it from my end).
Dennis
This is what it looks like in the latest opera:

Note that if I make the window any thinner than that it starts scrolling horizontally.
The comments page is even worse and shows some of the overlapping in Dennis’s screenshot 🙂
Text looks fine for me (i.e. not as bad as previous poster) but the top half of the EGC logo is off the top of the page. Mozilla 1.7 on … wait for it … Windows 95.
Oh, and if clicking on the logo is supposed to take me back to the home page, it doesn’t. If it isn’t supposed to, it should 🙂
The Logo is cut off in Safari 2.0
#masthead h1 needs a height of 200px, remove the height from masthead
#menu and #rmenu need to have a top: 200px to accomodate the large graphic
also the blue footer at the bottom needs a clear: both so it will appear after the menus in the case of a short content area
I’m no expert, just been doing a lot of css lately.
Good luck, let me know if I can help further.
Adam,
I did all the things you said and none of it changed any of the issues. I’m about to give up.
Dave,
Make sure you’re declaring a XHTML doctype in your header. Also watch sizing. IE and Firefox/Mozilla/Netscape measure differently. Margins + Borders + Padding = Page size. Whatever you specify as the page size, that’s what everything needs to add up to. Grab Nick Bradbury’s TopStyle Pro (www.bradsoft.com). I think it’ll help you a bunch. Set the style definition to 2.1 and go to town. Check out my site as well as dailything.com and feel free to steal my CSS.
Loyd, I can’t use that since it is a Windows app. I have been getting some help from CSS reinforcements, so this issue should be taking care of itself soon. Thanks for the input.
