2 new TXP sites

Just launched two new Textpattern-powered websites:

Family Creative
(for my freelance design business – Anacortes, WA)
Doesn’t work perfectly in PC IE yet, but meh, just wanted to get the bloody thing up. Also used Dan Benjamin’s image rotator script to provide a random background photo to the header image thing.

Invisible City
(for my friend’s new booking agency – Seattle, WA)

Re: 2 new TXP sites

Both very beautiful!

Family Creative is the kind of site that I would love to be the developer…
I love your vertical section menu, with the image rollover filling the space that is at the side…

I think that your vertical section menu will be very inspiring for a site I have to develope.

I like the CSS rollover effect (div:hover) … only supported by modern browsers, and with a little JS magic, also supported by IE.

Could you point me to any resource that explains how to apply that rollover JS for IE browser?

Thanks, and again, very nice work.

Re: 2 new TXP sites

Thank you for the kind words.

maniqui, i found the script i was looking for at http://dean.edwards.name/IE7/.

Those Javascripts “fix” many of the bugs that exist in IE 5 and 6.

Although IE 6 on PC is apparently still screwing up the rollover image on some of the interior pages, I think it’s something to do with the “rotator.php” image rotator link that sits in my CSS file. Damned buggy browser.

Anyway, thanks again! It’s been almost a year coming, so it’s nice to finally have the site online.

Safety, I really like the colour scheme, simplicity and type used on Invisible City – great stuff. What typeface is that?

Re: 2 new TXP sites

Reuben, the font I used on Invisible City is called Stanyan. I saw it in the “Indie Fonts” collection and purchased it from P22. I really like it, with that sort of hand filled-in look. Hadn’t seen it before I bought those Indie Fonts books, which, by the way, are super useful for anybody doing graphic design: www.p22.com/indiefonts

Re: 2 new TXP sites

Hi

Safety, or anyone who read this:

does anybody know how can apply a patch (like a JS file) to IE6 to support :hover in other elements than a tag?

I have tried by simply linking the rollover.js file to my site, but it doesnt work for me.
I mean, the rules :hover that I have in my CSS arent triggered in IE6 after applying the script…

Any help would be appreciated. thanks.

Re: 2 new TXP sites

I use the IE7 Javascript patch:

<code>
<!— compliance patch for microsoft browsers —>
<!—[if lt IE 7]>
<script src=”/scripts/ie7/ie7-standard-p.js” type=“text/javascript”>
</script>
<![endif]—>
</code>

available for download here
