Well to be fair, the text i just read from you is size 12, the text i'm typing is size 12 - th quote above is size 11. Perfectly readable

Sorry but i get sick of ppl a) going on about CSS and b) font size.

You've done both in the space of a minute

and surely it's a matter of what you think looks good? I thinkt he text on your portfolio site is too big. Opinion that.

**LazyJim** · 01-06-2006, 08:29 PM

Yeah i thought you might.

Some people argue that "Web Standards" are "just recommendations", but remember a lot of thought and consideration went into them, thousands (or more) of man-hours and many interested parties (e.g. Microsoft) contribute and negotiate on the specs.

Don't you think this happens for a reason???

The web is slowly growing up, it's doing very well, it spiraled out of control for a while but I wouldn't want to change the past as long as we learn from our experience and get back on track. Fore-thought is needed but hind-sight should never be overlooked.

We are still in the (long and drawn-out) transitional period, people can still use tables until they get their heads around Web Standards, but the sooner the better. Just look how popular it is, - because there is a reason!

One day table based layouts and other "bad practices" will be more seriously frowned upon.

aye and until they are don't be saying it's the 'wrong' way or doing things cos that's just annoying

i just prefer that method, it gets me the results that i want faster. there's advantages to both.

not bothering to argue at half three like, i'm gerrin back to work now!

NEOWWWWW!!!

**LazyJim** · 01-06-2006, 08:39 PM

I meant I guessed if you prefer small fonts all the time you'd think those on my portfolio (lol if you can call it that) are too big.

One day you should have to change, and tbh I think you'll like it eventually too!

But i'm going to sleep now.

P.S. you're doing it the wrong way!

I'm not much different actually, 17 inch 1280x1024 (16inch viewable). Do you sit to close to you're monitor? Arms length should be pleanty close enough! blah blah winge blah

I've tried lower res, it sucks, everything looks like it is made of dots and there's not enough space.

When I get a bigger screen, I won't up the res, so thankfully things will start to get visually larger.

**LazyJim** · 01-06-2006, 08:49 PM

YES!

/me sleeps

css all the way. it makes it so much easier doing one bunch of html and just making it work on screen on a PSP as a printed page all through a variety of css files

Ricoool · 02-18-2006, 03:50 PM

For me I try to go css/xhtml all the way (depends on how much time I have), one of the benefits is that in the design process it is easy to flip stuff around, lets say your design has a top navi bar and a 2 info/navi bar on the right and you want to see how it looks on the left it is easy to do in css with no need to mess around with the xhtml

Dont use xhtml that is so 2 years ago. It's only been in the last year that the issue of MIME types and XHTML has become a point of discussion and documentation about proper use has become easy to find. You must use CSS and HTML 4.01 Strict in your new projects to be in with the know how group.

I broke my own rule. I'm using tables in my new design for YDS.

Gah, oh well. I'll live.

Rifat · 02-23-2006, 07:43 PM

I use tables, but I'm learning CSS but not really 100% comfortable with it yet.
