I know, we use a resizing script for images in Halflife2.net newsposts.

I will eventually update much of this to be more integrated and dynamic, but I don't know hardly any PHP yet.

Anyway, with the final tweaks and changes, the page is up, http://www.hl2wars.com/ - cheers for feedback guys. Still open to changes.

I would suggest you do the navbar with an unordered list instead, much more semantic and better.

changes for your css: (hope i got everything - it might be wrong too, i was in a rush)
Code: Select all
body{
color: #000;
font: 9pt Verdana; /* note!   i would seriously consider making fallback fonts like arial or sans-serif - so do font: 9pt Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; */
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}

.wrap{
color: #000;
margin: 10px auto;
border: 1px solid #000;
}

a.nav{
font: 11pt "Trebuchet MS"; /* read the note above */
padding: 5px 3px 0 3px;
margin: 0 5px;
}

a.navactive{
font: 11pt "Trebuchet MS"; /* read the note above */
padding: 5px 3px 0 3px;
margin: 0 5px;
}

.quicklinks{
margin: 0 auto;
padding: 3px 10px 0 0;

a.quicklink{
font: 10pt "Trebuchet MS"; /* read the note above */

.rightbar{
padding: 7px 10px 0 15px;
}

.wrap3{
padding: 7px 15px 10x 15px;
font: 9pt Verdana; /* read the note above */
}

.subtitle{
padding: 3px 3px 2px 5px;
margin: 2px 0;
}

.body{
margin: 3px 0 5px 0;
padding: 3px 0 10px 0;
}

.sidetitle{
font: 8pt Arial; /* read note above */
margin: 7px 0;
padding: 2px 0;
}

.sidebody{
font: 9pt Arial; /* read note above */
}

.copyright{
margin: 0 auto;
font: 8pt Arial; /* read note above */
}

.screenti{
margin: 0 3px 3px 0;
}

.dev1{
font: 13pt "Trebuchet MS"; /* read note above */
}

.strong{
font: 12pt Arial; /* read note above */
}


if i have time i might redo the nav with a list.

the site needs some line-height: line height

if you need help with some php, gimme a pm, i might be able to help, my knowledge is decent-ish :P

good luck :)

There's already an instance or two of the line-height property in the CSS code :P

I just discovered some serious incompatibility problems with IE, which I need to figure out how to fix, but at the same time I'm not in a great rush because they should be using a real browser anyway :E

Oh, well it needs more.

Re your IE problems, use conditional comments to target IE browsers.

Code: Select all
<!--[if lte IE 7]>
   <link href="style.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" media="screen" />
<![endif]-->


Chuck that in the <head> and you'll be sweet.
