Because #logobutton had a fixed width, browser window narrower than 933
pixels resulted in an unnecessary horizontal scroll bar. Fix that by
using a dynamic 100% width which results in the header image being
automatically clipped as necessary.
To avoid clipping the tree and the text though, include min-width so
that very narrow windows result in a horizontal scroll bar so the whole
name can be seen.
Furthermore, simplify the markup by removing wrapper DIV and SPAN
elements which weren’t really necessary. As a consequence of that
change, the whole top of the page is now a link to the homepage (i.e.
‘/’). Prior to this change, the link wasn’t clickable.
Change all links when possible to not mention a site, so HTTPS will be used
automatically for same-site links.
For embedded images, and other links out to the rest of the world, use HTTPS
when the site is known to support it.
It just looked wrong up there on top of the page. I know that's what I
suggested to Paul to do it, but 11 months later, when I finally accepted his
merge request, it just didn't make sense.
I was only able to get the site running on my local machine well enough to test the main page. It's possible, based on the filename, that the changes will appear on all Conservancy pages. I'm not sure if that is what is wanted or not. If not, it seems like some more invasive changes would need to be made to the base template so that the form would only appear on the index page.
The form POSTs to a mailman url. Once submitted, the user is redirected to the mailman site with no obvious way (aside from the back button) to return to the main site. This can be fixed by using AJAX to POST the form and report the subscription status back to the user, but it would likely require parsing the mailman html as there doesn't appear to be any real API to mailman.
I tested this in Firefox 11.0 and Chrome 18.0.1025.113 beta.
