Redesigning the redesign

It's not as drastic as it sounds.  Now I can tell you about my two-pronged attack...  Well... What are you waiting for???? Move your eyes to the next paragraph and assimilate the following tidbits of information!!!!

My first point of attack was to deal with the dropdown menu issue.  On lower resolutions (even 1024x768) the dropdown menu ended up being broken down into two rows, making all the pages on the site substantially bigger and rather unsightly.  I used one of my original attempts and shrunk it so it would fit properly.  Not only does it fit properly now on 1024x768 (the most common screen size in use and the size that most commercial website base their designs upon) but it looks even sexier (as much as a dropdown menu can) on my higher resolution monitor.  

The second problem that my stratagem would have to rectify to bring about a resounding victory was the scrollbars in the News, Archive, View Prayers, Links, Mass Times and individual Saints sections.  I didn't stand on ceremony and got rid of all the scrollbars on these pages.  To prevent the pages from being as long as the Great Wall of China, I have added some code that divides the content into separate pages to make it more digestible.  I was thinking of doing the same for the Mass Times but decided against it.  I thought as opposed to clicking from one part of the mass times to the next, it would be better to use the scrollbar that God (i.e. insert your browser here) gave you to look at the other days of the week.  The better the resolution you have, the more you will see on the one page.  

The tackling of both these issues should prevent any further viewing problems.  Therefore, if I ever do another website presentation in front of the Parish Council I won't have anywhere near as much egg on my face.  Hazaa!!!

And so ends another intriguing episode of Webmaster's Blog.  Goodnite!
