alfreda89 | The lonely life of a solitary coder....

I've tossed up a website for a friend whose self-published (and quite good, actually) novel is released July 4th. I know the browsers never match, but I'd like it to look good in both Firefox and IE (designed for Firefox 3.0, because I am out of date coding and I know that better). I'd be interested to know of any fast way to get the white Firefox table to show up in IE. It would solve the problem of the bottom navigation not looking right on page 3, because the left column is only navigation. Also can't remember how to shorten the table on two -- we don't need quite so much space under the sample right now. I cut heights in two places, but the browser is having none of it.

I would be interested to know how it looks in AOL (boo hiss) Safari and anything else someone wants to contribute. If one is hopeless, I'll have to put up a suggested browser. I tried to find her a designer, but everyone was not taking new clients!

It's www.chanterpress.com for the curious.

By they way -- this would be a wonderful purchase for anyone interested in WWII or family/generational works. The author is published in short and non-fiction, and it's been professionally edited and copy-edited. She just got tired of 22 year old agents & NYC editors telling her that no one was interested in WWII anymore. She wanted a Father's Day release, but Lulu was very hard to work with...I may have to look for another packager for me, if Lulu is going downhill.

The site looks good in Safari 4.0 on a Dell, pretty much the same as it does on Firefox 3.0.11.

Thanks for checking! One less worry here.

I'd rather be writing, but once the emails work, I'm free!

I can't recommend it to my dad, the dad dies! At a cook-out. In Austin. And my parents are coming for Labor day.

Other than that, it probably would be right up his alley.

He's alive in the rest of the book. ;^)

Maybe after Labor Day. See if he's feeling his years -- if so, he doesn't get to read it! Too bad -- she did a very nice job with it.

Naval Academy Press published a novel that no one else was interested in, dont know if you heard of a guy named Tom Clancy, it was his first book.

She didn't submit to military presses. The men who fought for their country come off well in this story -- but it also shows how the military sometimes shove mistakes under the bed for as long as possible. 100 years if they can swing it....

I need to find my fireworks icon!

unless one tries, one doesnt know, they might surprize her if she submitted. Errors in judgement are used as learning tools.

I'll point that out. It actually uses something real that happened at an old base. The POW stuff was real, too. Only the characters are fictitious.

She is a military brat, and used one of her father's old bases.

fiction works better too...

Absolutely.
