Flexion.Org is Printer Friendly

I did some work on my Jaws template Stanley last night and made good progress getting it nearer to completion. By using a little CSS trick all the pages at Flexion.Org are now printer friendly, something I have wanted to get working for ages. This is all transparent to the reader and doesn’t require any server based code

I have also improved the cross browser compatibility considerably and fixed a number of outstanding bugs, I have tested Stanley with Firefox 1.06, Opera 8.5 and Internet Explorer 6.0 and all three browsers render the pages the same. I even had time to test with Internet Explorer 5.0, Elinks (a console based browser), Amaya and Dillo and was pleased to see that they all degrade cleanly, yah!

There is still room for improvement and there are several Jaws gadgets which I still need to theme, but that shouldn’t take too long now the heavy lifting is out of the way.

I have also got an entirely CSS formatted version in the works called Stanley-CSS which is also XHTML 1.0 Strict compliant. Although Stanley-CSS has source ordered content (better for search engines) and it works and degrades cleanly for all the browsers mentioned above, the style sheet is huge due to all the browser hacks which have to be implemented. So for the sake of my sanity I have decided to put that on a back burner for now :-/
