Re: First bit of a TamiyaFan website 11 years 5 months ago #15403

I checked it out on Firefox 16.0 and it looked good for me. Everything looked aligned and in it's place. Just book marked it too. In IE9 (current update) the columns are misaligned.

Going to look for my 58191 Calsonic Skyline Manual. Don't know how successful I will be, but if I find it, I will send it your way if you don't have it already.
Current Project: The Dylan Project Grasshopper

My Projects in the works: The Fighting Frog, The Restoration of my Fox, Back in the Day Blackfoot Racer, The JRX-2's, Yokomo YZ-10's of fury x3

I'm not a Re-re yet!

Cheers, thanks for the feedback. :y:
The 58191 manual would be great, there isn't a TL-01 on there yet and that model is actually the first of that chassis. :)

Hey, I only now saw eddrick's post and screen shot on the previous page. Looks like a badword in IE8. :S

The table is actually not a table, but DIV's.

I reckon the info on this page (from the site I usually learn this stuff from) should do the trick :

www.w3schools.c...tables.asp

Must create table... and rewrite... :pinch:

I think you have two other options:
1. The cheaky, half the way job; make all text within the table same font and size. (The height of each cell is determined by the content, it seems)
2. The proper way: Set the height of the DIV's. Read more here: www.quackit.com..._width.cfm

Thanks again Lars, good resource site to bookmark as well. :y:
Not a fan of cheaky solutions so I'll put in any necessary effort.
Been trying out a setup with tables but this looks like another (and less elaborate) good option.

When I look at eddrick's print screen, it seems that IE will not accept the font sizes I specify for the divs...
Gotta love Microsoft. Ahum. Guess I'll have to install IE to be able to check myself though.
Just have Firefox and Chrome and the moment.

Yep, IE8 won't even install properly to begin with. :blink: :huh:
I think I won't even bother, remembering too many blue screens and weird desktop behaviour it gave with Windows 98.
I'll check on the computer of someone who's silly enough to not use Firefox or Opera...

to have a favorites icon, like how tb has willy's head you put a .ico file named favicon in the root folder (where your index.html file is)

Excellent suggestion, I'd been thinking about that... :y:

I thought I had a relatively easy fix for earlier version of IE not showing correct text sizes.
It seems they don't accept font size in pixels but only in em (1em = 16px).
But after rewriting that, it looks like it didn't have the desired effect.
Freakin' Internet Explorer...

:sick:

Btw...

Edou,
I tested a bit...

Change all your h7 column definitions in the style.css file from (example):
#numbers h7 {font-size: 0.875em;}
to
#numbers h7 {font-size: 12px;}

Do this for all your h7 column css definitions, "numbers", "names", "chassis", etc and you get this in IE9 and Firefox:



But, the best way for this kind of table would be to make it as a html <table>... :)

Thanks for the testing, Lars. :) :y:
Thing is I changed all the font sizes from px to em yesterday because I thought that would help with older IE versions. :silly:
They seem to resize text but not if you use em and set font size to 100% as a reset. Supposedly...

But I'll do as you suggested and rewrite the pages as an html table.
Do something about more resolution adaptability as well while I'm at it.

It looks like I've been mixing elements in a way that's not quite appropriate.

Surprised it works at all in any browser!
