Re: Talyst - Rockin' out
Errr doesn’t this printer version thing just defeat the object of the print media type for css??
The whole point of css is that you can write a print css file and then restyle the document for different media types. Therefore no code is required, period. Go to maps.google.com and then do File>Print Preview if you don’t buy it.
Printer friendly links are a thing of the past. If your point is to illustrate that the people using the site are uneducated buffoons, then give them a clue that your clever css is taking care of business for them throughout the site and that they DON’T HAVE TO look around for a ‘print friendly’ link.
Simply writing two stylesheets, one for screen and one for printer is perfectly sufficient as far as I know… (I can see that you have implemented the print sheet so why bother with the links and backward compatible html and inaccessible _blanks just for the stupids?)
Confused…!
Nice site though! :)

Re: Talyst - Rockin' out
Nik,
Actually did you try to print one of the pages? There is a print stylesheet, but in all actuality I am not certain everyone is ready to not have the “printer friendly” link. They are actually the same thing. All I am doing is allowing one to preview the document before its printed. :)
Thanks

Re: Talyst - Rockin' out
I love the site, and would love to know how you created the sub pages like you have done. I need to create some pages simular to your sub pages http://www.talyst.com/CaseStudies/Parkview/BoxScore here.
However I have no idea how to do it. This is my first site in textpattern using it as a CMS so any help and or tips would be great.
Thanks
