Page 3 Level Ponderings

Starting work on page 3 level design. (5/31/09) Progress noted in green. (6/4/09) Further progress noted in blue. (6/7/09)

Use as base http://library.austincc.edu/mp4-page3-tutorials.htm [Note: nothing there yet has changed (5/31/09) except underlying stylesheet.] Changes reflected in page named, mp4-page3-tutorials.php.

  • Style sheet = csslayout-page3.css
  • Have changed "topsection" to correlate to smaller graphic 756x50. Now named topsection3.
  • Removed height style for "topmenubar." [Note: should do this across the board.]
  • Page renamed with extension "php" so that we can use php command lines in the file.
    • Have used "php includes" for the topsection and the footer so that the constant top part and footer part do not have to be hardcoded into the level 3 pages. {Includes allow the inclusion of external files in the body of the page; in this case, included are topsection3.htm and footer-other.htm.}
  • Maybe use LEFTNAV style instead of main-content1 on left sidebar on this level page and ff. (See left-navigation.txt.) Created a new "navlist" for left sidebar. Includes code for indication of current page.
  • Include javascript for breadcrumbs on this level page and ff. Make into a division instead of table.
    • Put in columnhead for main-content3 (right large column)
    • Added embedded styles and modified from original:
      • #control, .breadcrumb
      • Actually, used a new style class "crumbs".
Have created two test pages to illustrate function of lefnav menu:

-- Research Shortcuts (http://library.austincc.edu/help/mp4-page3-shortcuts.php)
