[FONT=Palatino Linotype][SIZE=3][COLOR=DarkSlateBlue]Greetings,
I need some advice and tips on a number of aspects. I am planning to recode a website I am currently working on. At the moment, it uses the table tags, and is very messy, causing a high load time.
The main ‘perk’ of the site, is the ability to chose a background theme to view a standard piece of text. Not much, I know, but valuable to my targetted audience. The difficulty arises in my attempt to present the same layout, centered, for all people, while at the same time, giving the option to chose different background themes with minimum effort, and coding, but also loading a quick page.
If you can help me, please take a look at the current format @ [url]www.QuranViewer.com
As I am using a script to change the background quite easily, without having to add extra pages by duplicating the text, I have to divide the page, into 3 sections, 2 changing, and 1 constant. So there is the header which is a variable, then lower down is the body which remains the same with the exception of the background image, then underneath that is the footer which is another changing aspect.
My first obstacle, is the content of the body. I need to figure out a way, to paste the verses with reference numbers to the left, while they both remain seperate. Currently it is set with tables, but I was hoping there is an easier alternative. Any suggestions?
The text content of the body will remain the same, only the background will be changing, so I figured I could enclose it in a div element, defining the background image in the css style in the header.
I would like to set a static width for the body content, while at the same time, centering the “box” (body). For example, something similar to the following @ [url]http://www.bluerobot.com/web/css/center1.html
Once the layout is all set. I was hoping to incorporate, into the footer section, the ability for the visitor to manipulate the text font, size, color etc.. of the body content/text. Does that make sense? I have seen the ability to change text size on some news sites, and even the font on another, but can someone point me in the direction on how to accomplish this in the easiest and most effective way?
That is all I can think of for now, if you can help me in any of the above aspects, please post, I appreciate all responses, ideas, tips etc.. Thanks.
