attribution issus, at least

oh - my - god - what we've all been waiting for - and so much other good stuff on that site ! amazing.
... my stylesheets to account for ie7. ***
when i first did those i often didn't use units when specifying margins and padding, and some other positioning settings. as ie7 tried to be more standards compliant, it broke those shortcuts. and i discovered & fixed a few other problems as well.
now, this doesn't mean the site looks any better; it just means it's back to it's original bone-headed intent.
there's still stuff on the menu that needs removing / changing / adding, and perhaps some other updates (like maybe automatically pulling from the wayback machine for old broken links).
*** no, i'm not doing ff ! - unless ff can do dhtml behaviors - dang - wait a minute ... - someone test this & let me know - so why hasn't this been added to the base code ? or has it by now ? no, probably not yet - see W3C: Behavioral Extensions to CSS (2007.10.19 draft).
and i would still have to work out my cross-browser use of xml/xslt, along with some mods to the htc's, among other things. and then there's the odds & end stand-alone javascript. eh, maybe i'll get bored soon.
highly recommended though: dean.edwards.name
ok, i did the mozilla behavior binding thing; just to show how much i care, i don't have ff installed here, so i didn't test it ;-) at least i didn't break the ie stuff.
still a lot to do with community server (add-ins, mainly) and my own site. eventually when i get all these basics done, then i'll return & implement "ie7" & finally redesign the appearance / layout of all this crap. and then start all over ...
ain't website ownership wunnerful ?
