Art

Today, I interrupt your flist to bring you art behind a cut. It's from a scan of a page in Wicked, which I was linked to by lesslikeyou for possible source images for my reworked layout. Mozilla, Firefox, Netscape, Safari, Konqueror and IE/Mac users, the Time Dragon background images come from the same place.

The scan was B&W, and sharp all over in the way that drawings are. The following image has been coloured in, 'mounted' on a purple wheat thatch backing, has had some film grain added, and a fake depth-of-field effect applied to mid- and backgrounds for a more photographic feel.

This is part of a greater plot to enhance my Photoshop skills. So, if there's imagey-things you think would be good or that you'd like done, say so. Photomanips or maybe even restoration could be fun, too. *nods sagely*

Some days, computers are stupidly silly about things.

Today, I've coded in an extension to my taglist that displays it as a CSS driven hierarchical menu in Firefox. In Firefox [and, presumably, other standards-compliant browsers], this is working perfectly.

The CSS is written properly to completely hide this effect from IE, which should instead show the list as nested unordered lists.

Except it doesn't, on my copy of IE. And that is Very Odd, because a check of the compatibility details for the CSS filter I use shows that they hide styles from ALL versions of IE (on Windows), and it works perfectly well for my background images.

I'm working on the theory that my copy of IE is a little bit broken. IE users, please have a look and tell me if the tag list has turned into an unreadable mess of silliness.

Thanks!
