doomportables needs a temporary admin!

yeah I know, I just noticed the fix too :p. I was thinking of integrating the "class" feature, but I think I might just try to straighten some of the html out to begin with.

Edit:
I see that you removed the [/gannon] and [/abbibi] parts that you put in already too.
Did an editor put those in automatically?

boy, I dunno what to say. Thanks everyone (abbibi for the chance, everyone else for the support) I think me being with gannon will be a good combination, as long as he's willing to clean up any messes I make in HTML.

Anyways, gannon, if you wouldn't mind sending me any AIM, MSNM, or YIM addresses you have, that would come in handy for some chats about what to do. I'm willing to pretty much whenever you are, and if you don't want to get something at AIM (which is all I have at the moment) I'll sign up for something. If you don't have anything, I'd recommend it. Once that site is like it should be, I'll probably keep it like that and not mess it up even more, since I rely on other parts of a site quite a bit.

The class feature is nice, but I think you went a little overboard with it. slim it down to just the styles that are used often. Any tag exceptions to the rules can be custom coded with the needed attributes.

I didn't use an editor. I like the "forum" look of them, but realized the faux end tags were extraneous, so I removed them.

Yeah, ok.
Since we shouldn't be making any major layout changes I dont' think that the class feature will be a problem, but I might simplify it a little for parts that are coded by hand more often.

Great, man! That's exactly what I was shooting for. It's mostly so I won't have to think much when I eventually convert all the data to PHP...

If you're considering cleaning up any HTML, I could probably send along a cleaned-up version of the front page, which you could use as a template... Tidy does a good job of indenting and formatting, but there's still some errors in it in CSS. If you want.

Darnit, that was me, sorry. *tries to participate in some possible way*

I already cleaned up the html, but I made it a little too clean so I'm going to be simplifying some parts of it.

I meant more along the lines of getting it past validation. HTML and CSS can be a harsh mistress...

Post by **gannon** » Sun Jul 25, 2004 7:30 pm

yeah, and my own site is far from getting past validation
