So Bob asks me for a site design for his new LJ username and guess what happens:
\nSite design COMPLETE!<\/a><\/b><\/big><\/big>
\nAnd I’m damn proud of it, too. It relies heavily on PNG transparency. What’s that you say? IE doesn’t support PNG transparency? Well let me tell you a little something something, mister! [warning nerd speak ahead]
\nOkay so yeah, IE is a retard and doesn’t have native support for PNGs with alpha transparency. Me ‘n the gang at #4toontellers, though, were brainstorming a few ways of overcoming this.
\nFirst of all, there was some god-awfully long and complicated PHP extraction process, but that wouldn’t work since LiveJournal pages cannot be PHP.
\nThen, we came across a JavaScript technique that seemed slightly simpler, and I tried implementing it, and… okay, LiveJournal doesn’t allow JavaScript code
\nSo third, we come across this freaky easy CSS approach that takes nothing to implement. Woo! So there you have the giant corner images that just blend into the grid background.
\nThe only problem is, this works for images that use the IMG tag, but not PNGs that are used as background images in tables. So the blog tables in the site design will appear slightly different in IE (read: opaque). Firefox (to which I’ve decided to switch over) and other non-stupid (read: IE) browsers will display the tables in a really awesome semi-transparent fading doohickey awesome.
\nOh and it took a really long time to get rid of unnecessary scrollbars and to keep some elements static while others scroll. Woo! But it was a great exercise in CSS and it taught me a lot. Good and fun times.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
