There is a reason why web designers have jobs - most people can't design to save their lives. Also, for someone to customize a site requires a high degree of involvement - no random visitor will bother to do so.the styling is very customizable on the live version of my site. I'll be implementing a long term theme solution for Version 2.9 of my site any way. Can't make everyone happy but sometimes you can give people the tools to do it themselves.

@Jab, the ">|" in "Last Page' is wrapping... might want to make that button bigger, and/or add a nbsp; between them.

Re: Multiple Page Navigation: What do you like most?
@allspiritseve What browser and OS are you using? Have you modified the font-size or zoom settings in your browser? It might be a font-family issue as I don't think I've set a font-family at this moment in time. I increased the width a little bit though until I know what your browsing environment is then I can only guess what it looks like.
@pytrin My site exists for no greater purpose then for my personal learning. If other people don't like it then it doesn't bother me.

I only have Kubuntu in VMware at the moment. I'll download the latest Ubuntu and have a look.

No need... just put a nbsp; instead of space in there.JAB Creations wrote:I only have Kubuntu in VMware at the moment. I'll download the latest Ubuntu and have a look.

Imagine if an automated test caught it for youJAB Creations wrote:@jshpro2 Good catch! It took some a little time though the code was easy to implement.

Re: Multiple Page Navigation: What do you like most?
I decided to simply replace all the spaces with entities instead...odd how a space and an entity space could take up different amounts of space? But whatever...how does it look now?

Re: Multiple Page Navigation: What do you like most?
You really should be using CSS for spacing rather than spaces or a space entity. I noticed that because your buttons are a fixed width, on some of them, the text spills outside of the border (like the first page button). You can fix this by removing the height and width styles and adding padding around the text. That way it will still render correctly even if someone resizes the text. Otherwise, you'll need to get a smaller text size, which will still break the layout if the text is resized.JAB Creations wrote:I decided to simply replace all the spaces with entities instead...odd how a space and an entity space could take up different amounts of space?

It looks good. It doesn't take up any less space, but nbsp; is a non-breaking space. VirtuosiMedia is probably right though, you might want to go with more flexible inline buttons w/ padding and w/o width.JAB Creations wrote:I decided to simply replace all the spaces with entities instead...odd how a space and an entity space could take up different amounts of space?
