Comment: your font picker.

# Posted by Ambrose (Bazz- from Coding forums) on Saturday 12th February 2005 at 07:12 -0600

Love the new version.  color picker is good too :-)

I notice that the font picker has a strange trait.  I selected a different one every few seconds to see what they all loked like.  I noticed that the dd bar lengthens each new font selected.  After about six or so choices, the drop down is off the right hanbd side of the page.

Will check it further later.

Yeah I've noticed that too, in Firefox anyway - Opera is alright. I shall investigate .. ta :-)

Comment: In IE for Mac

When I rollover your links on the left, they turn to white emptiness, and stay that way until I refresh.

Hmm yeah I know .. but I don't know why or what causes it - it's some kind of weird rendering bug related to the kind of positioning it has in the demo.  I've not been able to solve it, so IE5 for Mac is listed as unsupported -- http://www.listulike.com/about/#browsers

It's only the demo that's problematic - the generated CSS works absolutely fine in that browser.

Comment: Privew does not work

Ther preview does not seem to work in Firefox 0.9. I could not generate any menu.

The preview does not seem to work in Firefox 0.9

Oh .. I'm not seeing any problems in that build. 

I know this is obvious - but did you actually change any settings?  If you set it to - say - horizontal instead of vertical - does it change when you press "preview"?

Comment: Only one small thing, too small in fact

# Posted by shlagish on Monday 7th March 2005 at 01:52 -0600

This is a pretty powerfull tool you've got there brothercake :-)
It allows to make complex lists in no-time. I really like it.
BUT!
I click on Generate CSS, I get this huge amount of text in a tiny box. It's too small. I think it would be better if that box was bigger. And maybe if there was a little padding.
Apart from that though, very nicely done. I especially like that everything is on the same page. I don't have to go hunting for a colour picker or a font-picker.

And I was quite pleasently suprised when upon coming back to this site, my menu choices were remembered ;)

Comment: Cheers - I'm glad you like it :-D

I get this huge amount of text in a tiny box. It's too small.

At the top of the right column there's a stylesheet switcher, that changes the number and size of columns.  If you set that to a single wide column, you'll get the large textarea you want.

Comment: Updating Navigational links across all pages

# Posted by Taasha on Wednesday 9th March 2005 at 01:10 -0600

Hi all,

I have created my website using css. The website is a huge collection of web pages, around 300 html pages!!! Does anyone know abt a technique  that will update the navigational links across all web pages, if modified at one instance.

Regards

Comment: Server-side includes

# Posted by brothercake on Thursday 10th March 2005 at 09:57 -0600

You need to use some kind of server-side includes .. SSI, or using PHP or another language.

Site management is not practical without something like that - this site only has about a dozen pages, but still uses includes for the navigation bar - it would be far too tedious to maintain otherwise.

Comment: Search and Replace

# Posted by Steve P. Sharpe on Thursday 21st April 2005 at 12:01 -0500

Another option just to get your navigation changed for now, is to use something like Dreamweaver that has a search and replace facility for the whole local site. This way you can make sitewide changes.

After you have made your changes, use a server-side solution as mentioned above it is to the best way.

Hope this helps?

Steve

Comment: A good tip!

# Posted by brothercake on Friday 22nd April 2005 at 21:57 -0500

Thanks Steve, that's a useful tip :^D Here's a couple of other utilities for those who don't have DW or a similar tool:

The Mac text-editor BBEdit has a useful multi-line search and replace facility that can scan groups of files -- http://www.barebones.com/products/bbedit/index.shtml

For Windows there's a freeware app called BK Replace EM that does the job nicely -- http://www.orbit.org/replace/
