This zip
package contains a new, completed index.htm page and
stylesheets folder (place into your existing
project_final folder). It also contains a new
endofpagelayout.htm, index_modified.htm, and
sidebar_content.htm page(place into your
project_start folder).
These files address issues with the Chapter 05 project files. The wrong files
were included on the CD.
- A missing doctype declaration on all pages. When the doctype is missing,
any layer code placed above the inline HTML structure causes that structure to
be "displaced". The solution? A doctype declaration and/or placing the layer
<divs> below the inline HTML (just above the closing </body> tag.
- Incorrectly placed images within the H4 heading in the main content area.
- A link to an external JavaScript file was left in the documents but the
JavaScript file itself was not included. Oddly enough, having the link there
when the file is missing causes some strange behavior in Netscape browsers
where the View Cart and FAQs text and icons disappear. The link to the file
has been removed in all documents.
- The finished files provided on the CD were incorrectly linked to beta
testing stylesheets. (If you look, you can see that there are 4 stylesheets.)
There should only be two stylesheets. Please replace the
stylesheets folder (in the final project files) with the new
one in this archive.
ADDITIONALLY
Some styles were changed to accommodate NN4x for the Mac platform and to
simplify the overall process. When in doubt, refer to the gardenstyle4x.css page
for properties and settings related to appearance of the page in Netscape 4x.
For appearance in all other browsers, be sure that the gardenstyle_compliant.css
page is attached, refer to its style declarations and settings. Note that one
major change is that the compliant page contains ONLY styles that need to
declare different settings to override those for Netscape 4x browsers. Where
styles did not require new settings, those styles were
removed.
