DevEdge redesign

February 13, 2003 Stephanie Leary

Netscape DevEdge has redesigned with an all-CSS layout. Nothing new there, although their DHTML menus are nicely done. What’s interesting, from my point of view, is that they’re using some very nifty CSS to ensure that in the printed page, the URL of every link in the page content is displayed in brackets after the linked text:

#main a:link:after, #main a:visited:after {font-size: 85%;

content: ” [” attr(href) “]”; text-decoration: none; }

I did this in the Tackling Tobacco site at work, but I did it the hard way – I copied each URL into a span, and then hid those spans with the screen stylesheet. This method is infinitely better.
