CSS Contest Contribution (Continued)

Journal Entry: Fri Jul 4, 2008, 10:27 AM

*eCSSited Journal CSS Contest

This is my entry for *eCSSited's very first CSS contest.

One of the rules of the contest is that you cannot use images apart from a few little icons here and there, which makes the contest extra challenging for the CSS-savvy folks. It might surprise you to learn that this entire journal skin uses absolutely no images and is the result of carefully placing 1 colored div at a time. It was developed in and for Firefox 3, and since I am on Linux at the moment I cannot view it in IE7. If it is a complete mess in IE then I will just leave it as is, but if it just needs a few tweaks I might fix them.

Uppdatering!

That's Swedish for "update"

OH NOES WHAT'S IN THAT PIPE?!

Oh man, I've seen something like this before.
Someone made a big picture of Homer Simpson using only divs.
Amazing work, man.

`Zikes Jun 29, 2008, 8:09:55 PM

Thanks!

I recall seeing that Homer Simpson thing, I think there was a G. W. Bush one, as well.

Naw, he spends it all doing CSS

Quite brilliant I must say, smartass

While the failure in IE7 is not catastrophic, it is a bit borked. For the most part it's okay, the main problems being there's a bunch of missing pixels and the shrub isn't connected with the ground (which doesn't have the gap at the end.) Nothing the underscore hack couldn't fix, I'd imagine.

...I guess I shouldn't say any more, 'cause I think I'm a judge in this

`Zikes Jun 29, 2008, 8:33:58 PM

The idea popped in my head and I just couldn't resist

I figured the box model would give me problems. I've been working on getting a VM up and running so I can take a look at and fix that stuff, so hopefully those will go away eventually.
