new layout

Finally, got my own layout instead of the stock drupal’s template. Not my own actually. The layout was taken from andreas03 template at openwebdesign.org website. FYI, openwebdesign.org is a fork from oswd.org project following recent issues with the oswd maintainer which lead to the oswd being temporarily offline. Both sites are now back to operational but look’s like more will move to the new openwebdesign.org website. Andreas is one of my favourites designer there. All his templates feature a clean XHTML markup and easy to extend. I got some problem with IE, mostly with the overflow: auto attribute which IE failed to render properly. A little hack seems to fix the problem:-

pre {
  overflow: scroll;
  border: 1px solid #ddd;
  margin-left: 20px;
  padding: 3px;
  font-size: 1.1em;
  width: 97%;
}

/* IE Fixes */
html body pre {
  overflow: auto;
  border: 1px solid #ddd;
  margin-left: 20px;
  padding: 3px;
  font-size: 1.1em;
}

it based on this forum post. Thanks to Andreas anyway for such a nice template. If not because of this post, this layout is valid XHTML 1.1.

Update:

Play a little bit with inline list style for the topic block.
