Oh by the way – just in case you were wondering – YES I am now building my parents website!!! Thats what the image galleries are for.
Wheeeeee! I am sooooo pleased with it.
The only thing that is still bothering me is that I have created it all on a Mac and I have not really thoroughly tested it on Internet Explorer so I am not sure exactly how it works.
I do know that there is a problem with the page width. What I want is for the page width to be fixed at 800 pixels wide. I decided that this would be the best option for viewing as I would like to keep lines of text short enough to be interesting and readable.
To fix the page width I changed a line in the layout.css file so that it now reads
But the problem is that Internet Explorer doesn’t seem to recognise this. Well I have only tested it on IE6 and it definitely didn’t work on that 😦
I have read up quite a bit about it (here is a good blog post I read) and there are ways to fix it but I reckon it will take a bit of testing and so I have taken the plunge and I am going to buy a Dell laptop so that I can see what things are like from both sides and also coz I want a laptop.
Its 2010 now, I really do think I should purchase a new computer 😀
