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?

Cheers :)
Impressive!
Very nice done, I am impressed
One question, your flash menu, is it wb generated?
John
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!
More impressed.
Thought the menu was flash.
Nice job!!
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?
John
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
.current a {cursor: default;}
this way the cursor does not react on the link and remains an arrow.
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 :roll:
also, didn't even define a font-family in the CSS :roll:
@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.
good point, i havent considered sceen readers and stuff. :-o :oops:

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:
// 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 printand voila, your done
No link on current page.
Have fun!
John
wow :-o
I'll give that a try tonight, thank you vey much again pcwacht!
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.
