CSS Competition #1: Ozzu Look and Feel

Awesome, so that's probably why Opera handles CSS correctly ...

Aside: I figured out the way to make those little icons work that I was asking about earlier ... think outside the box ... woohoo!

Red Herring, sir. Actually there isn't a browser that's supports standards 100%. CSS 1 was nearly 100% supported by Internet Explorer for Mac which I think is a different rendering engine than IE for Windows (Trident).

...and yes, before the lynch mob lights their torches, of 5 or 6 different engines, IE7 is considered the least supportive, currently. Microsoft does claim, however, that Expression is the most compliant, but I don't develop in that so I can't say.

Oh how awesome is this, I am gonna do something really girlie LOL

That would be sweet lol

A couple of quick questions:

1)Is it really necessary to have that ugly old transitional doctype? I hate working under that thing.

2)Will the current Ozzu logo have to part of the design? Just wondering, since if I create my own layout it will obviously have my own logo as the current colours may not blend nicely with those of my own design. Is there an Ozzu dragon "base image" that can be worked on to include in my own effort? Or is it open-season on logos?

You can use whatever logo that you want -- and you can change the entire look of ozzu if that is your plan (ie. menu can be on left instead of the right side; images, fonts, etc can be changed). Pretty much whatever for the most part as long as the html doesn't change.

What doctype are you wanting to use?

Just a strict one, html 4.

Since I posted the above, I've been getting along fine with the transitional one - I just had to put my thinking cap on in a few places. Changing it is not really necessary now. However, if it could remain open as an option then that may be useful later. I'm cool with it as is, but I've no complaints if strict was ok too.

I also have a question about the competition.

With the HTML not being allowed to change. If I create my own stylesheet, its obviously not going to be the 2000 or so lines that ozzu is at the moment, so wouldn't it make more sense to remove the <div> tags that aren't doing anything for the design? Or perhaps removing the ones that are not needed and renaming the ones that are to suit our design?

I doubt you can rename and I bet that deleting unused DIVs would be bending the rules a little...

Those DIVs could be used for design stuff.

If digitalMedia allows it the following two doctypes would be fine for ozzu:



or



Other than that the HTML shouldn't be changed.

Yeah, I forgive myself. I hope you will too.
