Site Creation


Even though we’ve been working on the site functionality for the past couple of weeks we didn’t really spend any time working on the site, so while some are working on functionality and integration I decided to start working on the main .html and css files and also modify the existing .html and css files we are using from JQuery.

The first step was to create the parent template, so according to the design we had planned I made an Index xhtml page trying to follow as much of w3c standards I could remember, after tweaking the css style page for a while I decided to give it a go and try it in the actual site, this is where I encounter a major “problem”, the content block wasn’t being displayed, I tried to change the pages as much as I could but I was getting the same error all the time, after an hour or so of wasting my time I realized that JQuery was only going to display the content if the div css tag was named content, and nothing else.

After making that work, I realized that a lot of the .html files we had had some css inside them, so my styles were being changed from different sources and everything was resulting in a big mess, I had to track down those .html files and change the style lines that were messing up my design, after achieving this, I tweaked the .css and html file a little more, changed some imaged and made some new ones, for now I think the site is looking good, but there’s still some room for improvement.
