CSS, XHTML and web standards
2004-03-13 19:00 by A. Digulla
Hopefully unnoticed by the many visitors of the UYD,
the HTML code has made a transition to XHTML 1.0 Transitional. What
does that mean for you? Well, I hope that after pouring many weeks of
work into this, the web site can be viewed and enjoyed by more people
and more browsers.
Today, after buying "designing with web standards"
by Jeffrey Zeldman, I took another
shot at adding a valid DOCTYPE (and thus bringing W3C compliant browsers
into standard compliant mode instead of the old "Quirks" mode) and could
finally sort out most of the problems. Only Konqi refuses to display a
table at 100% width in this mode but Mozilla 1.4 and MIES 6.0 liked it.
And hopefully, after all this work, so will you.
If you wonder why you have missed many of the previous updates to the
news, well, I wanted to make sure that things actually do work before
wasting your and my time with bug reports, so I created a shadow site
where the people involved in the site administration and design could
have a look. Now that things have stabilized, I've switched back.
But the web being what it is, you might still run into problems displaying
our site. To make it easier to find these problems, please have a look
at How it should look which contains screen shots how the UYD is supposed
to look (these were taken with Konqueror but I checked them against MIES, too).
If what you see differs a lot from what these screenshots show, contact
me and I'll see what I can do.
Converted more content

ziritrion finished the Frequently Asked Questions pages and I finished the
UY Volume 2, published by Mirage Publishing. In the
process, some lost fan artwork was recovered and added to the
Fan Art page.
Integrated Fan Art

Fan Art is working again and some internal bugs have been
fixed.
Converted synopses and UY Volume 1
2004-03-04 21:45 by A. Digulla
All synopses and comics in UY Volume 1
have been converted from the old UYD. Also, I've created a reference
page which has example images how the UYD is supposed to look.
So if you see something weird on your screen, check it against the
reference images and send me a screenshot.
