Did you intend for right sidebar to disappear when the width of the browser window is reduced? The info moves below the footer, but it looks odd since it leaves a big space below the header image.
Hi, Chrisber, actually that is intentional. It is a flexible layout, meaning it’s designed for 1024* but will accommodate 800* users as well.
When at 800*, the side boxes should drop to the bottom and then fill the space evenly(this was a bitch to get right!).
It does look funky if you’re re-sizing your window, but if you’re just running full screen at 800×600 the site at least accommodates you without scrollbars. If you running 1024×768 or larger then you get the design the way it was intended. This was important since we wanted/needed the space for the content, but yet we know our audience still contains lots of older users who’re running less than ideal equipment. (We’re also supporting back to IE 5.5)
In fact, the layout should funtion identically in IE 5+, 6, 7, 8, Firefox, and Safari. (If anyone see differently, please let me know)
Anyways, thanks for looking! 😎
It’s a clever solution and it works exactly the way you describe. I’ve just always regarded 800 x 600 users as subhuman and therefore not worthy of such time consuming accomodations. Then again, I’m not doing this for a living, and I’m not working for government clients.
Thanks man… Yeah, I’d love to forget 8×6 users – but the percentages are still too high to completely do so, unfortunately.
Thanks again.
