Title: misaligned.net Last modified: August 18, 2016 --- # misaligned.net * [thefallenweeble](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thefallenweeble/) * (@thefallenweeble) * [21 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/misalignednet/) * First off… before I say anything else, I’d really like to thank the WordPress developers for some kick-ass work on this software. The mere prospect of using WordPress forced me to reimplement my site’s layout to validate to XHTML 1.0 Strict. A bit of a headache, but man, it was really worth it. Now, I’m not really a blog kinda guy, but this stuff is great for content management. A little mangling here; a little hacking there, and half of my site can be managed through WordPress. Some of the things I’ve done are *use separate categories to maintain a couple separate project/production logs (actually, only one is up right now, but more will come) *use the user profile to generate the bio on my site’s “about” page* use the links management to manage a separate links page on the site *integrated the whole deal with the Coppermine Photo Gallery (and moderately hacked at that code to make it spit out properly validating markup)… actually I also have an issue in that part, too. My footer tends to render odd in the gallery section when there’s dynamically changing content. Is this a simple fix with display: block, or something more serious? At any rate, I think I’ve rambled on enough here. I’d appreciate it if anyone could take a gander at my site and let me know what you think. Forewarning, though… the site looks like a 7-pound bag of ass in Internet Explorer due to my rampant use of png transparency.

I had to move to Firefox to see it, but nice. * [AlHo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alho/) * (@alho) * [21 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/misalignednet/#post-69100) * [Only terrorists use IE.](http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=74&e=3&u=/cmp/20040702/tc_cmp/22103407) 😉 * Thread Starter [thefallenweeble](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thefallenweeble/) * (@thefallenweeble) * [21 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/misalignednet/#post-69172) * Heh… thanks guys. I’m glad you liked it. The nice thing, though, is that since I’ve migrated the site to XHTML/CSS, it should be a whole lot easier to create and implement an IE-safe theme that doesn’t rely so much on png. By the way, has anyone got any tips on my footer/coppermine problem? * Thread Starter [thefallenweeble](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thefallenweeble/) * (@thefallenweeble) * [21 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/misalignednet/#post-69418) * New addition to the site… I call it an Anilog. What is it, exactly? Basically it follows the progress of the creation of an animation. A better description is available here: [http://misaligned.net/news.php?p=9](http://misaligned.net/news.php?p=9). Alright… so it might not be that interesting to a lot of people. In fact, I’m wondering if it merits its own section on my site (one page dedicated to “Anilog” category entries). Any opinions on this? Is there anything else out there like this that I might reference? Also, I ran across a javascript hack to implement png transparency here: [http://homepage.ntlworld.com/bobosola/index.htm](http://homepage.ntlworld.com/bobosola/index.htm). Has anyone had experience with this? * Anonymous * [21 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/misalignednet/#post-69420) * Sorry cannot help with the Coppermine stuff but wah, nice graphics! * Thread Starter [thefallenweeble](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thefallenweeble/) * (@thefallenweeble) * [21 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/misalignednet/#post-69423) * ‘Salright… I think I (sort of) figured out the Coppermine issue. For thumbnails, they only issue the width attribute in the image tags. Since there’s not height attribute, the proper amount of space isn’t reserved for the image. By the time the image downloads, the browser has already pulled and rendered the footer from the cache. That means it’s probably out of my control unless I can get coppermine to automatically generate height tags for each thumb (and that might make things prohibitively slow unless that data is stored in the db). It might be possible to consider it a render-engine bug in Firefox, but I wouldn’t know how to verify that. Thanks for the compliments! * Anonymous * [21 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/misalignednet/#post-69424) * I vaguely remember something from the days of JavaScript rollovers – force all images to load before rendering the page. I don’t remember how, just a thought– probably sub-optimal anyway as it depends on JS? * Thread Starter [thefallenweeble](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thefallenweeble/) * (@thefallenweeble) * [21 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/misalignednet/#post-69443) * HaHA! Fixed! Now coppermine spits out both the width and the height tags and my footer renders where it’s supposed to. Rock!
