Does anyone still use IE6? ;)
The behaviour in Mozilla is the desired behaviour. There should be the
navigation bar on the left, non-scrolling; the banner at the top (by
Nyx, thank you) and there is supposed to be the scrolling body below the
banner and right up to it. If anyone wants to tell me I write sucky CSS
the source is at http://www.radicalcenter.org/CSS/radicalcenter1.css
And yes, I know, I should be using multiple style sheets etc. And for
those who feel like arguing the pros and cons of converting the whole
thing to PHP, go for it, it's on a sturdy NetBSD box that is maybe 7
years old, AMD-K6 @[EMAIL PROTECTED]
380MHz. If for some reason the site actually got
popular, I don't think the poor machine could easily handle both the PHP
and a Wiki as well as serve page. Who knows, I might get slashdotted or
something, again. Someone found I had world-readable MP3 and the site is
now getting pounded with requests which I am sending back as Code 403
since one or two people sucking a few gigs of music isn't too bad, but
when some 30 or more idiots are all trying to concurrently download
everything and fill all of the server-slots (!) and reduce my bandwidth
to a crawl, that is when I chmod 000 the directory.
Now for the really big $JOB, converting http://www.earthops.org/
to PHP
and CSS. The first few front pages are done, getting in deep may turn
out to be a job for a shell-script, something like
for i in `ls *html` ; do
lynx --dump ./$i > `echo $i |cut -f 1 -d "."`.dumptxt
done
and then use the dumped text as body filler for .php built by another
script. And yes, I know it would be much cooler to just feed the
dumptext into MySQL but I'm not that cool yet.
