I've just updated activeRenderer's tutorial part II, taking advantage of aR's image inclusion ability, and providing more information on how to modify the outline's text style.

This site has a subtly upgraded new look... Texts and links are more readable on both Mac and Windows platforms, and all positioning is performed via CSS, which makes for easier, on the fly updates of the general style.

Readers with 'slower' Internet connections will notice that all the elements are first stacked in the top left corner, then take their intended position when the page has finished loading.

Resizing the window will cause the width of the center section of the page to grow or shrink, while the right and left borders remain constant.

Achieving this result without using (more or less uncontrolable, and heavy) tables is trivial with a few lines of Javascript.

For web techniques minded readers, here are links to the Javascript and CSS for this 'activeTheme'.

This code is tested with MSIE and Mozilla on MacOS and Windows platforms.

I'am afraid minority users of Opera, OmniWeb, Safari, Konqueror, iCab etc... will have to keep pressing their favorite software publisher for better standards compatibility.

I'm open to, and actually welcome, all documented compatibility/improvement suggestions, please contact me via this page's feedback link.
