Personal portfolio site checkups

Two text increases breaks the text out of their boxes.
Four text increases puts the text under the mini image boxes.

Hey deuce,

thank you for taking time to reviewing the website..
I really dont understand what you're trying to saying to me. What the solution "hints" that i can able to figure out to fix it?

Lev, it's the same problem we talked about before. The layout is fragile and breaks when you increase the text size.

As I said before, this is cause by one of two things. Either you have a fixed height on your text container or you have the text container positioned absolutely.

Hi Nicholas,

Basically site looks really nice and clean.
I wish I have a personal site like this...

I wouldn't specify the height on the #twitter_div. I guess you don't like jumping up and down
as it tries to get the feed from twitter.
maybe you can use min-height?

on IE looks like there is some problem on floating on top.

I guess you don't bother about the png fix on IE6 since this is just a personal site.

Triumph,

Ahh umm it means i must find way to lock text size. yes its fixed height and no i didnt put my text container as positioned absoluetly.. I just set up the

as 12px for text to lock on.

skoizumi,

Thanks for liking my site. oh yeah i was thinking to pngfix my website. but cant find real good fresh script for it yet.. im planning to set it up..

both of you,

Im trying fix it .. recheck the link.. seems like error comes from ie browsers? im mac user. looks like i need check thur windows or something to check the errors.

thanks for posting and share option and hints.
Nick

Just checked ie now i see the welcome section image still stick up top and texts goes bottom of image box in welcome section.. dang im trying to figure out.

Not only is locking the text size something you can't do, it's something that you shouldn't do even if you could.

Remember not everyone has good eyes. Many rely on resizable text to be able to read the content.

I fixed the pngfix and twitter issues..

Ahh umm Triumph if i want everything be very resizeable. i dont mind doing it but one huge issue is twitter.. if i leave twitter div auto height or min height thats way it can auto resize with twitter content it wont work. i couldnt figure that thing to setup without height size.. Any clue? i fixed most of thing as pngfix for ie and twitter in ie

on #twitter_div remove the height specification and it will grow and increase in size as necessary with the text size increase.

TwinHelix has a good PNG fix that I have been using for quite some time, even supports repeated and positioned backgrounds like most others don't
http://www.twinhelix.com/test/

In the contact section, instead of the icons being part of the main background image, why not make it an UL and make each icon the background of the three LIs that way if you need to stretch or increase the text size of that section, the icons move with the text?

hey deuce thanks, ill doing it now to figure out.. also check http://labs.unitinteractive.com/unitpngfix.php it works great superb its like recent updated pngfix one.

When i remove the #twitter_div's height size the content got overlapped im still trying to figure out.
which icon u speak of? the gray boxes? change li become a background li istead images? thats what u mean by?

Thanks

I just added contact form, its odd. when u try type subject then submit button the error dialog appears. the contact form overlaps with footer image i mean underoverlap it. please test it.. im trying to figure out. looks like my height mode for #content isnt right. i couldnt able figure out why.. argh! :curse:

Good thing is you figured out the png problem. Actually the fix is pretty powerfull. I don't have to worry about repeating image and position.

One thing about #content is that you specify the height.

Thanks, yeah that fix is powerful

Ah content is auto flow istead fixed.. due different browsers type i think it gives best result

I like the pop up window comes up as you bring the mouse over to the thumbnail.
Is this another lightbox plugin?

I had to customize lightbox plugin for my work but this one is nicer.

Yes, I too would like to know how you did this, great job btw, very clean design and unbreakable when increasing text. Would love to know how you did the thumbnail tooltip.
