Hi Boomer,
You have some terrific mods and this one is no exception, however, since my site is so heavily modded, it would not be practical to use a skin like this as it would involve many months of pain trying to integrate everything and get it to look the same as it does. Upgrading to CSS is a huge step so I think IБ─≥ll wait until 4.1.1 is released, then have a few drinks, roll up the sleeves, and dive straight into it head first!
While IБ─≥m talking about CSS, IБ─≥ll share with you all my recent experience with CSS by saying how hard it was to remove several tables from my pages (I thought I would do it mainly out of curiosity). Anyway, I spent 7 days doing this (off and on) and with varied success. My head.tpl is now fully CSS. I've also replaced a few other tables here and there as well as replaced all my <font> tags with
and <h1...h6> which I never knew the importance of before. I also did some much improved formatting and fixed up some code as well. But the single most difficult thing I found was trying to replace the table in the dialog.tpl file. You may laugh at this, but let me explainБ─╕ Normally replacing this table with divs would have been a cinch but because I have two small corner images that make the top of the dialog box rounded, it made recreating this in CSS almost impossible. I spent 2 days researching and trying to accomplish this and now IБ─≥ve simply given up Why? Browser bugs! If I managed to get it to work in IE, it would fail in Firefox and visa-versa. And who knows how it looked in some of the other browsers. This issue alone has made me give up on the notion that I could, ever so slowing, achieve a tabless web site (or near to it). Until the bugs are ironed out, I ainБ─≥t touching it no more!
Anyway, so my hat goes at to you Boomer for what would have been a long and painful experience doing what you did. I reckon it would have kept you up at night wondering if you would ever get to the finish line.
Congratulations mate! Well done!
