Fixed The Very Old CSS Problem of the black bar in the bottom not fully
reaching the right side of the screen on pages where id='content' => class='full'. Added useful text. Changed other text.

* CSS failings
|
||||
|
||||
Once, I did not know about Cascading Style Sheets, or CSS. I knew HTML... What
|
||||
else would there be to know?
|
||||
|
||||
Oh, and I knew the =font= tag. It's safe to say my websites were not optimal.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
** px in font-size
|
||||
|
||||
First, my apologies for not using the em&emph unit in font-size attributes. For
|
||||
years I have consistently used the px&emph unit when setting the sizes of
|
||||
fonts. I recently found out how wrong this is, how an incredibly arrogant
|
||||
offense to the universe it is, and I have begun correcting this mistake.
|
||||
|
||||
Why is it wrong, you ask? I once thought about that, because I had read
|
||||
somewhere that it was best to use em&emph. But I didn't fully understand the
|
||||
unit, and I certainly didn't want my precious design to be viewed differently
|
||||
by different users! I wanted to force every user to view the exact same render
|
||||
of my pages. This was not ill-meant; I think it originated because of general
|
||||
browser incompabilities and was then taken to an unfortunate extreme.
|
||||
|
||||
Essentially, it's wrong because it {forces the user to view the text in a
|
||||
specific size}&emph.
|
||||
|
||||
If I had read that earlier on, I wouldn't have made so many px-based CSS's.
