#1319 [Asn]: PATCH fix styles for manual navigation

ID: 1319 User updated by: danielc at analysisandsolutions dot com Reported By: danielc at analysisandsolutions dot com Status: Assigned Bug Type: Web Site Operating System: Irrelevant PHP Version: Irrelevant Assigned To: mj New Comment: Just making sure. You just mean the words "(previous)" and "(next)," and not the whole thing, right? If so, remove the <small> around them. No need to revert the whole patch. They look fine to me. Guess it depends on the base font size in your browser's preferences. See why I wanted to use pt? Perhaps try pt and see how it looks? By the way, my resolution is 1024, browser is a recent Mozilla build, os is Windows, base font size is 20 px.

I'm using FireFox on Linux with 1024 res. ;/ But I don't wanna touch the style.css ... Martin will probly never the less reverte that ;D So Martin make it a little bigger :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-05-01 16:55:56] mj@php.net Commited. I changed the absolute font sizes to relative ones and additionally I also "cleaned up" the stylesheet a bit. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-05-01 16:09:40] danielc at analysisandsolutions dot com Helgi, please provide a citation regarding "pt" in CSS being meant for printed matter. It's not mentioned in the CSS 1 recommendation, that's for sure. When fixed size fonts are needed (as I believe they are in this case), pt is the way to go because they are more consistently rendered than px. Martin, even though I'm arguing for pt, it's not THAT big a deal. Just apply the patch with the existing 8pt or substituting 75% and I'll be happy. Thanks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-04-30 23:47:06] helgi at trance dot is Well one should never use pt on web since those are mostly only ment for printing ;) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-04-30 13:17:42] danielc at analysisandsolutions dot com In general I agree with you about absolute font sizes. The reason they're acceptable in this situation is the text in question is just the navigation stuff (previous/next and language links, etc) which isn't really meant to be read. Also, the fixed size comes in handy here because the existing style sheets already set the body font to a relative size. If that size gets changed at some future time, it would impact how the navigation lays out. This already happened once recently. If you disagree, please change "8pt" to "75%" in style-manual.css and then apply it. Thanks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
