Re: Runboard Official Notification


Oh, you know what? I've always wondered but I completely forgot to ask in the support forums. Is there a way to move the "who's online" status bar to the bottom of the forum instead?
Thanks again emoticon

Re: Runboard Official Notification


Yes, but I'll warn you that it won't look right in IE7 or earlier (assuming the IE7 simulator shows how it would actually look in IE7, which isn't always the case). It works in IE8+ and every other decent browser out there, though, and since IE7 only accounted for about 1% of Runboard's visits over the past month, you might want to give it a go.

Here is the CSS that will make it work with this board:


#ak_board_home .container {
     position: relative;
     padding-bottom: 5em;
}
.forumlistwhosonlinetable {
     position: absolute;
     width: 97%;
     bottom: 1em; left: 1.5%;
}





I noticed when looking at your CSS and HTML just now that you have errors in both. Would you like me to fix those for you? Most notably, this isn't the proper syntax for CSS:

    width=168px height=202px

Since it doesn't actually do anything but possibly mess something else up, anything with that syntax should be removed from the CSS.

Another is here, in connection with all of the submit and preview buttons:

    font-size : 12px:bold;

Assuming you want to keep those buttons the way they are now, you can remove the :bold.

Another error is here:

    background-color : 45454B#;

This one is special, in that it causes a "lexical" error. The definition of a lexical error is pretty unhelpful: "A lexical error is any input that can be rejected by the lexer." Not only are lexical errors in CSS rejected, but they can also trip a browser up so badly that they don't render some of the stuff that comes after the thing that causes the error. In this case, there is some red text defined after that line, so if you remove the line that causes the error, the text on the "Vote" button for polls will become red.


Edited to fix CSS.

Re: Runboard Official Notification


Oh how embarrassing! emoticon emoticon
I couldn't be more grateful than I am now for your help. I've fallen out of the loop in since CSS took over and have been making such errors very often. Yes, if you ever see any weird anomalies, feel free to remove or change them.
I wouldn't want them to distort anyone's experience in the future.

Thank you so much. I will test out the code and see how that looks. emoticon

You're welcome, Nar. emoticon Try not to feel embarrassed. I've seen worse errors in CSS than the ones you have, and being an excellent artist won't make anyone proficient in CSS any more than being proficient in CSS can make me a good artist. Heck, even programmers aren't always great with CSS and vice versa, because they're different languages. emoticon

I'll try to clean up those errors tomorrow. For now, sleep beckons. Have a good night! emoticon

Re: Runboard Official Notification


This is why I got out of web design. Once people stopped using tables to layout pages, I had to make a decision: dedicate myself to web design (since it's pretty much full time just to *learn* all the tricks) or stick with my art.

Re: Runboard Official Notification


I hear you there, Rex. I'm probably pretty lucky that I started out when xHTML was still just over the horizon, but web standards can change so quickly, and I'm still playing catchup when it comes to responsive design. I can style for mobile devices, but I'm still looking for the best way to detect them and serve up the right styling for the various screen resolutions. If I had the kind of artistic talent that some of you here have, I'd probably focus more on that, too.

Nar, I'm sorry I didn't get around to cleaning up the errors in your code, but will do that as soon as I can.

Re: Runboard Official Notification


Absolutely no apologies are necessary here. I'm really fortunate to have you take a look at the code and even offering to help. You hold the key. You're welcome to remove any bad codes if you see them, whenever you have time to spare. Thank you so much. emoticon
