Stylesheets for pages [DONE]

Post by enij »

Kind of wondering why I have to look at bishoujo instead of bishounen all the time :P It would be nice to be able to display site pages in different ways/different color schemes.

I think she (I assume!) wants alternate layouts, something I'd want too but I dunno how the page has been build so...

hm,

@html layout
that would be really hard to do -> DENIED :P

@css
the file could easily be exchanged against another one according to a profile setting. But i don't know if that is really needed.

BYe!

Exp: Just remove all the styling tables from HTML, replace them with well IDd block elements (DIVs, ULs, ...) and implement the design as pure CSS (you'd only have to change the static parts of the current style to do that). This has the advantage that it would be possible to change the entire design by simply linking to a different stylesheet file... :)

Click on the style links on the left, observe how the design changes and then compare the HTML output. ;)

well, feel free to take a shot.
go grab the html source of an anime page and of a mylist page and convert it to pure css.

if i am convinced by the results i might convert anidb over to a css based layout.

minimum requirements, has to work with:
- latest opera (win/ and if possible linux)
- latest firefox (win/linux)
- latest mozilla (win/linux)
- latest M$ IÄ

凄い!

As some of you might be aware, I already did a little work on this problem (http://www.vernideas.de/anidbtest/animedb.pl.htm). Let's see if I can find some time to finish it next week ...

i can take a shot at it if anyone's interested.

i will try to get some time to work on it, but i'm realy overworked at the moment.

i'll try the css part first 'cause i know from experience that messing with javascript gives you several nights of debuging and with the ocasional "crap.. another one" several hours later of the submission of the final work :P

Just make sure that if you do it make the css dynamic enough that people can provide skins that look way different than the current one. :D (So people won't want to redo the work.)
