UCSC Web Templates Change List

08 September 2008

• Add min-width to page wrapper

  The following code (line 12):

    #custom-doc { margin:0; text-align:left; width:100%; }
      

  was changed to:

    #custom-doc { margin:0; text-align:left; width:100%; min-width:800px; }
      

  This code prevents the links in the navigation bar from breaking to 2 lines before the browser window is resized to a width that would require it to do so.

File: index.html (Academic and Administrative templates)

• Accessibility links changes

  The following code:

    <div id="access-links">
      <ul>
        <li><a href="#center">Skip to main content</a></li>
        <li><a href="#right">Skip to secondary content</a></li>
        <li><a href="#navigation">Skip to navigation</a></li>    
      </ul>
    </div>
      

  has been replaced with:

    <div id="access-links">
      <ul>
        <li><a href="#center">Skip to main content</a></li>
        <li><a href="#right">Skip to secondary content</a></li>
        <li><a href="#pages">Skip to secondary navigation</a></li>
        <li><a href="#navigation">Skip to navigation</a></li>    
      </ul>
    </div>
      

  This code change adds an accessibility link to the top of each page that points to the secondary navigation (a <ul> with a class or id of "pages") in the left sidebar. If you do not have secondary navigation in the left sidebar, please remove this link from your accessibility links.

File: interior.html (Academic and Administrative templates)

• Accessibility links changes

  The following code:

    <div id="access-links">
      <ul>
        <li><a href="#center">Skip to main content</a></li>
        <li><a href="#right">Skip to secondary content</a></li>
        <li><a href="#navigation">Skip to navigation</a></li>    
      </ul>
    </div>
      

  has been replaced with:

    <div id="access-links">
      <ul>
        <li><a href="#center">Skip to main content</a></li>
        <li><a href="#pages">Skip to secondary navigation</a></li>
        <li><a href="#navigation">Skip to navigation</a></li>    
      </ul>
    </div>
      

  This code fixes an error in the accessibility links list where one of the links was pointing to a non-existent right column (the right column

  exists on the front page template only). In addition, this code adds a link to secondary navigation in the left sidebar. If you don't have secondary navigation in the left sidebar, please remove this access link.

• Secondary Navigation Attribute Change

  The following code:

    <h4>Navigation</h4>
    <ul class="pages">
      <li><a href="interior.html">Another Page</a></li>
      <li><a href="interior.html">Another Page</a></li>         
    </ul>
      

  has been replaced with:

    <h4>Navigation</h4>
    <ul id="pages">
      <li><a href="interior.html">Another Page</a></li>
      <li><a href="interior.html">Another Page</a></li>         
    </ul>
      

  This code changes the secondary navigation in the left sidebar from having a class of "pages" to having an id of "pages." This change was made so a link to this navigation list could could be added to the accessibility links at the top of the page.
