I cant figure out how to center the main column in the space to the right of the nav bar.
4:00am I went to bed last night, and I just couldn't figure out the correct way of doing it!

Any clues?

style.css is in the root dir.

My hands are tied on the font thing, but I made it default to sans-serif if Eras Demi ITC is not present :) - it was just on plain old Times New Roman. (Not that Arial is much more exotic) 

If my boss had hunting as his first hobby and "If I Did It" as his favorite book then...


Bosses want employees with balls of brass who challenge them and don't bore them. You should put up a Smiths Meat is Murder poster up at your cubicle right away.

Or take it to the next level and start hunting your boss. 

Internet Explorer sucks the sweat from a dead horse's phallus.

Shut your face. Internet Explorer is great and for saying that it sucks, I will never look at you the same way again ever.

But I still think you and your maps are awesome ;)

But in all seriousness, I can't see any major difference on your site between IE7 and Firefox. Besides the cow being slightly off the table and the left column not highlighting when I hover over it, they look basically the same. 

Those are the things which piss me off. And its because Internet explorer is TOO FUCKING GOOD for half of the code, which was designed by people trying to reach a standard protocol for all browsers because of all of the discrepancies with incompatibility issues.

I feel that Microsoft left small little niggling things out of their browser's code out of SPITE because they weren't the only ones calling the shots for once.

And to top it all off THEY DO HAVE THE MOST POPULAR BROWSER OF ALL OF THEM. Most people dont even know what Firefox or Safari are!!!

I'll tell you what they are:

Compliant

Properly Coded

Better than Internet Explorer.

Meh 

There's no real reason to leavy my house anymore, because I can get online, watch TV, meet friends, date girls (possibly men, not sure yet), send text messages, drive around, and mug people.

Everything in the new Grand Theft Auto, only the music's taken a huge step backwards. 

You could do so by putting it into a div and giving that a fixed width with margin-left:auto and margin-right:auto. It would look weird on wide screens though, better move the whole page to the center.

Orl: You never tried designing a website I guess? IE is horror. 

On the contrary, I have a rather simple site for my maps.

The page displays perfect in both Firefox and IE7. The only minor difference is the table borders look a little different in IE7 compared to Firefox. But that's hardly a reason to get upset. 

congrats on the new job. Hope you have fun working on Prey 2 or whatever. I hope there are less vaginas and peeled testicles in the sequel. 

Well TBH Safari is slightly different from the others too. My crappy Picosearch box is slightly to the right of where it is in IE and Firefox.

Safari is pretty cool though!

I dunno. Some stuff only works in IE. Like One.com's built in FTP service only works in IE.

It's easy to start bashing people's programs and browsers, but in all honesty I dont really know what I'm talking about! :P

Spirit - Thanks for the tip. After a bit of headscratching on my part, if I use this:

#column2 {
float:top;
width: 580;
margin-left: 22.5%;
padding-top: 4px;
}

then it is more towards the center, and fits quite snugly into a 800x600 window, it even works on a narrower window - the second column doesn't get pushed below the menubar like it was before.

Having said all that, the idea of having the entire thing about 750px wide or something and centered in the screen would look pretty smart too :D

goddamnit metl, the shortening function is pure evil. 

I can't decide if this thread is more boring than the sex thread is ridiculous. It's a tough decision. 

At least, in sex thread, you will learn something :P 

get mapping and stop reading stupid threads on func ;)

It's like this from time to time. Nobody posts anything insightful for days* at a time.

*maybe weeks sometimes. 

Conversational vacuum - gets filled up with pointless crap. 

Well, as I found myself tumbled down on 9.8Mb Quake1 map which I drove over the lightmap limits I get generally abused by all the sleepless nights I took to get sofar, without considering it ought to be a floppy size map.

Then I find that sax is just too phony to argue about and start animating the wkey3_1 texture untill I fall asleep , feeling I left a part of the world unknown by closing my editor and reminding myself I never had to be so foolish to get so involved in a stupid little game that could wrench me so apart.

But it's nothing, just as finding out that my Gibson's guitar framenr really could trace it's fabrication date.
Sunday 16juli1978 as the fifteenth one rolling of the factory. Just can't remember what I was doing that day. 

Madfox, I could probably understand that if I was in a clearer frame fo mind.

Zwiffle, congratulations on the new job, I expect to see human head's design take a more Quake direction . . .

. . or else ;) 

Says it all, really. 

I'll stop posting now. 

is having an lsd induced flashback or something. 

I'll stop banging on about crappy websites now! 

now I suddenly remember sunday 16july 1978 15h00PM I was so glad I had made the grade of ArtCollage I started wandering in town seeing the houses as great environments I could draw, and was chased away because I had entered private domain.

Now I'm creating great envirements and get chased away by hordes of orgues and crityplayers and maxvertices. I could never imagine datarevolution would turn me sofar.

Than I remembered it wasn't 16 april 1943 when A.Hofmann had his asperin but at least I caught an apostroph. 

 

Madfox needs his own sticky thread
