This is my new project (still in planning/creative exercise)
"Uncanny":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaigns/uncanny (an X-Men themed supers game using the ICONS/Fate system)
I was wanting thoughts, tips, tweaks, things to try, etc.
As you can probably guess, I'm going for a "comic book" theme with the CSS. I think I've finally cobbled together one that works, but I'm open to other ideas.
For example, I have no clue how I'm going to do a custom menu navigation, not even an inkling of a theme/gimmick yet. The only condition I have is that I want to avoid floating sidebars as my wife's iPad 2 tends to ignore them.
Encouraging comments of course always welcome! :)

And thank you for your kind offer! I love how your sites use that Transparent rectangle. I believe I saw in another thread how you use absolute positioning to pull it off, I just need to come up with a vehicle for accomplishing that.

So imagine looking at any comic book page. This will be the "menu" if you will - if you click the top left panel (normally panel 1 in a comic book) it'll go to Page A, next panel to Page B, and so on. Using those absolute position transparent boxes I think I can make this work. :)
.... now to just find a way of creating those pages in the first place. Time to fire up my old 3D Poser/Daz3d art programs me-thinks.

I'd like some feedback on my above posted idea - "implemented here":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaign/uncanny/wikis/testing-page
That would be the new main page of the wiki, and sub-pages would drill down from there.

I'm having an issue with absolute positioning cross browser that's giving me fits. IE renders correctly, but Firefox and Chrome shift everything about 20 pixels over to the right. I can't figure out why.
As far as feedback on your test, that is difficult to view on Firefox- looks great on Opera though!!

Using Firefox as the base browser, did the margins so that the whole thing now fits inside the white area. It's near the leftmost edge in IE and near the rightmost edge in Chrome and Firefox.
Just trying to help out.
EDIT: I'm leaving the color positioning boxes on the TEST page for now. The live page won't have them, they're just to help with positioning. Please let me know if the boxes all move and format correctly now.
Seems to on my laptop but then again, that's hardly a valid test. :)
Huzzah!

From the same X-Men #1 from 1963 - I edited a couple more panels. It really doesn't add a lot more effort to give the art custom text, but I think it really sets apart the layout and gives the page the right mood/feel I'm going for.
Just trying to help out.
I always knew that anything I did about "making a mutant" would have to draw art from Barry Windsor Smith's Weapon-X masterpiece.
