my first wb site

Even if you didn't do the Photoshop, it's still an excellent job of both converting a design and doing it with all CSS.

wow 
I'll give that a try tonight, thank you vey much again pcwacht!

I hate having live links in a nav menu to the page you are already viewing, I know there are some advanced menus made by people here, but I don't think any of them do this?

Nope, didn't do a whole new menu again, just a litle change ...

Get this improved menu : http://www.websitebaker.org/2/forum/?topic=777.1
add it to the beginning of your template's index.php

change:

Code Select Expand

// Create values
if($page['page_id'] == PAGE_ID) {
$values = array($class, , , stripslashes($page['menu_title']), stripslashes($page['page_title']));
} else {
$values = array($class, '<a href="'.$link.'" target="'.$page['target'].'">', '</a>', stripslashes($page['menu_title']), stripslashes($page['page_title']));
}
// Replace vars with value and print

and voila, your done

No link on current page.

Have fun!

good point, i havent considered sceen readers and stuff.

Thanks again guys, but you have to remember I only designed the code, all credit for looks goes to the artist (I wish I could design like that!)

@pcwacht, thanks especially for the deeper inspection
you know I had totally forgotten about doing a print stylesheet 
also, didn't even define a font-family in the CSS 

@jakob, yeah I used to too, but I've gone further now cos accessibilty devices will read it as a link unless you can remove the href attribute.

[jakob]

nice site!


about the menu thing: i use a workaround so the live link to the page you have open doesnt appear to be a link

Code Select Expand


.current a {cursor: default;}


this way the cursor does not react on the link and remains an arrow.

[pcwacht]

Only thing I can come up with, after a thorough, very thorough   search is:
the div footer will show on a print page, maybe set it to noshow?

Nice job!!

[pcwacht]

More impressed.
Thought the menu was flash.

[clarkin]

thanks guys

@pwacht,
do you mean 'flash' as in Macromedia? - there is no flash used, only xhtml / css (and of course php from wb)

but no, the menu is not wb generated... just a php include, because of the reasons explained above - a usability bugbear of mine!

[pcwacht]

Very nice done, I am impressed

One question, your flash menu, is it wb generated?

John

[Stefan]

Impressive!

Hi all,
Here she is - 95% finished, appreciate any feedback.

It's all CSS, with two nice features (I think):
1. Try zooming the text by Ctrl+Scroll Wheel if your setup supports it
2. The thumbnail previwer on the artwork page

Only thing I'm not happy about is that I had to make my own Navigation menu.
Reason was, I hate having live links in a nav menu to the page you are already viewing, I know there are some advanced menus made by people here, but I don't think any of them do this?
