Layout and style in these pages

Links

The design of the pages in gva.noekeon.org is inspired from the andreas01 open source design of Andreas Viklund. Despite the original inspiration from andreas01, this layout is different in many respects, both visual and technical. For instance, unlike andreas01, the CSS file of gva.noekeon.org does not contain any fixed-size (or fixed-position) elements. All the size units are relative to the size of the font (i.e., em and ex). Hence, if the reader increases or decreases the font size, the browser will automatically adapt the layout. Also, to avoid very long lines of text, which are difficult to read, the maximum width of the main column also depends on the font size.

The code in gva.noekeon.org is strict XHTML 1.0 and CSS 2. It has been tested with FireFox 1.5-2.0 and with Internet Explorer 6.0-7.0. Since only standard features are used, it should be also compatible with most other browsers, although this has not been explicitly tested. Please note that Internet Explorer 6.0 has some well-known gaps in supporting standard features and, in particular, does not support the max-width property in CSS. Since standard, cross-browser, code has been favored over IE-specific one, the maximum text width feature of these pages will not work with Internet Explorer 6.0 (or earlier); very long lines may appear if you maximize the IE window. This works correctly with Internet Explorer 7.0, though.
