[Template] Andreas01 package

Please post a screeny. IE has an issue with the fact the menu shifts to the right (bout 10 to 15 px. )




Have to see how to resolve this "minor" issue...

Well, it is pretty much the same. Sometimes the text is also under the menu.
I think if you solve the problem for IE, then it might be solved for opera too...

Hey, I do hang out here every now and then. If you need any help with this, send me a note. I’m still not familiar with MODx, but I know that design pretty well.

What exactly is the problem? Give me an url or a short explaination and I’ll do my best to help you out...

Edit: You want the margin to disappear in IE and Opera, for the side menu? Have you tried setting margin-left and unused padding-left to 0 for both the ul and the li in the menu? I tried it locally, and it worked well. Or do I get this wrong?

I am not sure what you mean Andreas. I am not too strong in CSS. Might have to get a crash training in it and should get more play time with it.

Perhaps you can give me the CSS code for the menu, and I can test it. Or pm me the CSS file. Would be awesome!

btw, you showed me the road to ModX So thanks Andreas!

In our PM conversation, I suggested setting the menu’s UL margin to 0; that fixed the issue for my copy of the page in my VirtualPC installation of IE 6.

Andreas, I fear that in some of my ports of your most excellent templates I’ve given full rein to at least two of a programmer’s most noble traits, hubris and laziness (I forget what the third one is, but I’m sure that I’m full of it) and have made some modifications that you may not be as familiar with. I am delighted to see such a great designer joining our little family, especially since while I’m OK with tweaks here and there I can’t design my way out of a paper bag.

Well, you might not be able to design yourself out of a paperbag.. but heck...

I can’t save my life with CSS ... no change..

Honest, I do my best.. so give me a bit of guidance...



This trick didn’t work (to me)

I’m not at all surprised it didn’t help, that’s my dyslexia at work! I meant "margin:0;" not "border:0". If I ever tell you to go left, go right, and vice versa. And don’t ask me for my phone number, I have to keep it written down, along with my street address and zip code.

A great site for learning the best practices in CSS (or web design in general) is http://www.alistapart.com.

WAHHHOOOO

I mean.. that did the trick.. Lesson learned ... left is where the thumb is right .. lol

No, thanks a milion.. this was the trick.. Perhaps we should repackage the whole template and hand it backout for download..

Thanks Andreas.. for the great template..

left is where the thumb is right

Uh...looking at the palm of your hand or the back of your hand? And which way is right, again?

(on a more serious note, really trying to tell a dyslexic person something like that is like telling a blind person to use the blue door, or telling a deaf person to leave a message at the tone. Believe me, it can be almost as severe a disablility. And extremely frustrating! They told me "right is the hand you write with", then 9 times out of 10 when they’d ask me which hand I wrote with I’d hold up my left hand, and I’m right-handed! My brain is truly cross-wired somewhere. I’ve often wondered if it’s because my mother is left-handed, as is my sister.)

I am left handed Left handed indicates that you use your right part of the brain. This is the creative part of the brain. If I am not mistaken Mr. Einstein was a lefty too.

The company I work for has a high number of lefties on the staff list.. Kinda odd.. cuz we are an engineering firm. LOL

Oh well, If I get a minute I will post the CSS file I am using, so others can use it too, or possible better you can replace the original package with the new IE "proofed" change.
