[TIP] Freshmedia Template

Hi!

Link to that template: http://themes.cmsmadesimple.org/index.php?mact=Uploads,cntnt01,default,0&cntnt01category=Full%20Themes&cntnt01sortorder=date_desc&cntnt01mode=single&cntnt01count=10&cntnt01detailpage=theme-detail&cntnt01template=summary&cntnt01detailtemplate=themes-detail&cntnt01upload_id=182&cntnt01returnid=63


As I  integrated this template into a project, I found 2 points which could be fixed easily to get better output:

1) check out the template and delete the second time that the div "wrap" is set, that is a mistake, as the name suggests, "wrap" wraps the complete output and should not be set a second time

Code: Select all

<div id="wrap">
2) the stylesheet "Freshmedia : Accessibility and cross-browser tools" declares the horizontal ruler as hidden:

Code: Select all

/* 
accessibility divs are hidden by default 
text, screenreaders and such will show these 
*/
.accessibility, hr  {
   position: absolute;
   top: -999em;
   left: -999em;
}
that is not useful, as by this all elements with the class "accessibility" PLUS all horizontal rulers are hidden
as the horizontal rule in the accessibility-div is declared with that class, there is no need to declare it here again

change this to

Code: Select all

/* 
accessibility divs are hidden by default 
text, screenreaders and such will show these 
*/
.accessibility   {
   position: absolute;
   top: -999em;
   left: -999em;
}
and you have the complete power on visible horizontal rulers in your content, which might be useful ;=)

Thank you. This was very helpful. I had this exact problem (the disappears). I even found the CSS coding, but could not deduce if it was an error or something I was missing.
