All Animals are in one line!<br>So its ugly too. We have to get the resolution of the window and than load new images to fill the empty space.<br>Amazon for example do this when you have a large window they show you 5 products and with a small only 2 or 3.<br> But thats a lot JS Code and work.<br>And Thats why popular gallerys use fixed width like:<br><a href="http://www.sxc.hu/category/100">http://www.sxc.hu/category/100</a><br><br>Because on that way you know how it looks like for all users.<br> <br>maybe when we are done with all work we can think about a flow page but not at the moment!<br>Because mockups are good but whats when you have ten mockups and no one can transfer it to code?<br><br>And thats why we try to push the OCAL forward and bring a galleryview with thumbs. <br> Based on andys Mockup from 2006!<br><br>But lets ask me a question...<br>You can create mockups? You have graphic skills?<br>Maybe you want to help us to push this "fixed" :) OCAL forward?<br><br>Michael<br><br> <br><div class="gmail_quote"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"><br> <br> You see this fixed-width colom being in the middle all the time,<br> but I think that is really an awful practice,<br> not only do big screens get lots of empty space,<br> small screens can’t fit the layout, because it is fixed to a certain<br> amount of pixels<br> Now if the CSS was done was in relative units like em not in absolute<br> units like px, that would already help, so you could change the size<br> yourself if you’d want to.<br> <br> But couldn’t it just be flush (aligned to the) left?<br> The design looks as it could cope.<br> I could make a mockup if you’re interested?<br> I really like how they did it, for example at <a href="http://openlibrary.org" target="_blank">http://openlibrary.org</a><br> <br> <br> Eric<br> <div><div></div><div class="h5">_______________________________________________<br> clipart mailing list<br> <a href="mailto:clipart@lists.freedesktop.org">clipart@lists.freedesktop.org</a><br> <a href="http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/clipart" target="_blank">http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/clipart</a><br> </div></div></blockquote></div><br></blockquote></div><br></body></html>
