I updated my layout. For those too lazy to check my bio:

  • Improved quote boxes (now with titlebars!)
  • Code boxes now have indentation (plus improvements made to quote boxes)
  • Slightly cleaner code
  • Smaller banner
  • Removed pointless Inuyasha sprite (even though it was only 800 bytes ) and Sloganizer
  • Smaller quote/link box font
  • Post area is wider
  • Better "broken CSS" message


The only bug I know of is the titlebars for the quote/code boxes. They have no close button, and if you have a HUGE screen resolution they might glitch up... it just uses this as a background with no vertical repeat. If anyone knows a better way (at least a way to add a close button in the corner), I'd like to hear it. I tried defining 2 background images, but neither would show up.

Oh yeah, and post your comments and any problems you see.

Cool. The text in the quote touches the left side of the box, though.

Not anymore it doesn't.

Speaking of CSS, this doesn't have to do with the layout but I noticed something odd today. If you define a class like this:

.blah {
border-left: 2px #123456 solid;
border-right: 2px #123456 solid;
padding-left: 4px;
width: 100px;
}

The output is different in IE and lololol. IE reads "width: 100px" as "make the entire box, including padding and borders, 100 pixels wide", while lololol reads it as "make the content area 100 pixels wide, then add padding and borders", so the box is 108 pixels in lololol (100 pixels of content plus padding and border). Which behaviour is correct?

The way it works in IE is the way it should work. If you make a border larger, the text area should get smaller, so the way FF is outputting the code is wrong. It isn't that big of a difference.

Note: While typing this post, I tried out border resizing to see if it was different in each browser. While doing this, I found out that it wasn't, so I don't see why it's doing that with your layout.

Huh. It's fixed now.


As for the width thing, I'd say IE got it right... If you wanted something to fit in a certain space but still have borders and spacing, you'd have to do additional minor calculations just for it to work right.

Edit: I just did a small test and it turns out IE stops at the borders, only adding in the padding.

Yeah, I fixed it.

I think I heard that IE's way is wrong according to the W3C standards, but it does make more sense. I dunno why yours ignored the borders though.

Alright, I changed the quote/code titlebar style. It makes sense since they're like child windows of the post box, and gets rid of that no-close-button/cutoff problem. You might have to view the individual images and hit Ctrl+F5 to re-download the new versions.

BTW, is there a way to do a gradient of transparency in Photoshop? Like I can use the gradient tool to fade to a specific colour, but can I use it to fade to nothing (transparent)?

*whaps the 24-hour post limit* 
Alright, so I made more changes. The quote/code boxes use up most of the available horizontal space, so less is wasted. The quote box titlebar style is changed too:

Originally posted by "nobody"
The "posted by blah" is now to the right of the title bar instead of below it.


There's some small spacing problems, that's the best I could do without breaking title-less quotes or rewriting the HTML. I also fixed a small border colour bug on visited links.

Also, the stylesheet is generated by a PHP script, mainly so I don't need a separate file for the Christmas version. This allows some fun tricks, see if you can find them.

Awwww, my favorite part about your layout was the "Get Banned" button. All good things have to go at sometime, though, don't they?

anyway your layout is pretty good I guess what with the sidebars and the boxes and the signatures and the custom quoteboxes
