First Page Possibilities

[matiasasun]

For a lot of reason I did a small ilustrated guide about how to create an HTML Map that works in PBase, so if somebody needs that information they might find it useful in HERE.
An HTML Map is basically an Image with areas that works as links, and that´s what a lot of the guys in this threat have used to create their main pages.

I'm missing something fundamental. A common theme on posts in these forums is that if you see a style you like, you're advised to copy the source file and modify it to your liking. My problem is when I look at the source file for any given gallery, it does not seem to include the style commands. Is there somewhere else I should be looking to see the style commands for a gallery?

There was a recent change in the way pbase worked with style sheets. Till a few months ago, the same page that showed your galleries also contained the complete style.

Pbase changed that to reference the stylesheet indirectly - to improve scalability.

So, today, if you were to go to http://www.pbase.com/arjunrc as an example,
and did a view->source you would see

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://css2.pbase.com/styles/33106.css?t=1097772737">

So, you would then need to point your browser to http://css2.pbase.com/styles/33106.css to get the stylesheet I use.

Another way, is to download the firefox browser, install the 'Web Developer' extension and just use its 'View CSS' option to automatically get all the CSS information for you without having to do it manually.

Hi,
I just got Firefox and also installed the web develooper.
When I am looking at my differet p-base photogalleries with Firefox, it doesn`t show up as nice as in explorer.

Well, I guess maby that the css-stiles are not perfect, but I wonder if I am missing something with Firefox? I like it otherwise.

Thanx //Jess

Not all CSS coding works for all browsers. If you use coding that only MSIE recognises, it will not display the same way in Firefox. One way to prevent this is to run the CSS through a validator that will check for multi-browser compatibilty. http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/

Fantastic. I don't feel like such an imbecile now. That was certainly not intuitive to me at my level of experimentation. Many thanx,
