Soldat Forums Archive - This fixes some font-bugs...

March 14, 2006, 3:06 pm

Hi,

I had some spare time and I opened the snitz CSS file and fixed some stuff.

[Bugfix1]
.spnMessageText /* Don't [CENSORED]ing know */
Change it to:
.spnMessageText { font-size:11pt } /* First message SPAN*/

I changed it to 11pt and the first message's font shows the same as all the other posts.

[Bugfix2]
-> In the ASP code prolly.
Use TEXT instead of TEXT. the small tag isn't supported by every browser while the font tag is. Ofcourse they both produce the same output.

[Bugfix3]
-> In the ASP code.
In the code that generates the first post:
Find HERE's THE USER's SIGNATURE and remove the span tags.
Find the HERE's THE USER's SIGNATURE and replace the first tag with (Or ).

This fixes the huge signature output.

[Bugfix4]
-> In the ASP code.
In the code that generates the first post:
Find Edited by - DePhille on 14 Mar 2006 14:37:18 and replace it with Edited by - DePhille on 14 Mar 2006 14:37:18

This fixes the huge "EDITED BY" text under the first post.

There is a bug in the ASP code that generates the first post where it doesn't fill in and some other properties of other tags. Someone made a mistake by replacing the admin system with the CSS file probably.

From the w3....
Quote:Use styles (instead of the tag) to define the font face, font size, and font color of text.
Use the tag to group inline-elements to format them with styles

Bja888: actually px is the bext thing to use. em sometimes interferes with percentages (open the snitz.css file , percentages are used).

I also recommend to use styles instead of plain HTML tags (It's easier to modify it later on). But it requires alot of work to remove all tags and use proper CSS for them without having a huge CSS file (which is also bad).

atm we're just looking for changes that will hardly make a diffrence (styles instead of , em instead of pt , ...) Since they all have their bad and good points.
SO let's just edit the CSS file with pt like the whole forums are built on , and do the same for vs .
We don't want that half of the forum uses em and the other half pt for example. same for and

lol, em is always a percentage :)

Its the "correct" way to display font sizes. I was on a Mobil device called a "pocket surfer" earlier today. The true test of how well a site has been put together. Allowing the device control the font size it the best way to decide font sizes.

Using em isn't the adviced thing to do. It is less bug-free than px or pt but it does display diffrent from browser to browser. If you want to set some static font size the best thing to use is px , you can check the i'net for that. BUt if this site is using pt already then why cause problems and move to another unit?
