Debugging in process

Okay, a workaround has been made in the new scheme style sheets that should fix the gap-at-top problem; if everyone could go and see if it has, that would be good. Also, if you find the sidebar menu running off the bottom of the page, please tell me.

The dialogue boxes and "save" button accent boxes should be in place, but are still glitchy; will be working on that. Of course, if anyone recalls off the top of their heads whether margin:auto works in IE and FF, or how to make it, I'd love to hear.

PM page should no longer have a scroll bar in FF, and I'm still working on turning the Portal headers black.

If there are any other layout bugs coming up, let me know where and what. Suggestions for fixes are always welcome too.

ETA: Okay, the accent boxes are becoming a serious sticking point. It's possible I will have to go back to tables with these. *growls with annoyance*

ETA2: Still working on the bug in FF2 that produces scrollbars in the sidebar layout. Also still trying to override some stubborn css in the customize area. I think the rest of it is good to go, though. Let me know if anyone finds more bugs or things that are hard to read or anything like that!

I'm testing in Flock and FF atm, will post log when done (and have removed the list's solved glitches)

A design thing in Worksafe, though: http://www.insanejournal.com/site/
Centered text and weak frames makes it hard to see what's actually there. Maybe border #000000 1px solid all around and aligned left would make it easier (or the nice brownish grey)? Also, increasing padding-bottom would make it prettier. Headers might be fine with a bolded same-size #000000 font? Or the large and x-large should maybe be em-ed font text instead, and not headers, they are very large and takes up a lot of space (tried out several browser font size codings).

margin: auto; works in FF and Flock.

Forgot: Above link in Worksafe - there seems to be a font-weight: bold; which includes the sidebar menu, it is bolded in /site/ compared to other pages.

*rueful* Believe me, the Site formatting is not intentional. There's a glitch in there somewhere that I haven't tracked, so for now I'm just working on fixing the weird formatting it's come up with. That'll be fixed later today, I hope.

I have tried looking for the font-weight thing but couldn't find anything in the .css either, I'll try look it over again.
And no ruefullness here, please, you've done a marvellous job, we're currently loving Worksafe like whoa! in my little corner of IJ. It's damned tasteful.

*blushes* Thank you.

I just sent off revised sheets to Squeaky, so pretty soon those should be up. When they are, let me know what you think of the SiteMap. I spaced things out and took down the font size and shifted stuff left-aligned, but I left the L frames in place. I think, with the spacing, they work fairly well to help delineate the blocks.

I think the alignment in itself will do a lot to un-mess it. I'll look later, and work on the glitch list after.
