Template Change Log
Web and e-mail template development is ongoing, and solutions for various issues are still in development. Some of the things we're working on for Web templates include an expanding template header and footer; style sheets for print and handheld devices; incorporating the large block M into the all-CSS templates, and more.
As changes and updates are made to the templates, they will be noted here.
| Date | Location | Details |
| 7.7.08 | Centered CSS templates | Two background images were missing from the download; 2colbg_center.gif and 3colbg_center.gif. |
| 6.24.08 | CSS templates | On some pages, Firefox 3.0 created a gap between the block M, wordmark graphics, top links and Driven to Discover. Anyone using the CSS templates with Driven to Discover in the header should update their style sheet. Specific fix was to remove clear: both from the ul#header and ul#headerD2D styles. |
| 8.29.07 | All templates: myU link | The new link to myU was changed from MyU to myU (no upper case "m"). |
| 8.29.07 | All-CSS template download | Width adjustments were made to three styles: div#leftNav, div.column0, and div.column1 to fix an obscure Windows IE bug that caused the body content to drop down below the left navigation. A gray line was also added to the right side of the div#leftNav style. A brief explanation of the changes is included in the comment tags of the style sheets and here. |
| 7.25.07 | Second-level table-based templates | Added a light gray background and gray underline to visually separate breadcrumbs from the page body and match all-CSS styling on second level pages. |
| 7.24.07 | All templates with Driven to Discover | Moved the Driven to Discover "title" attribute from the image tag to the link tag. In Firefox, when a graphic is linked, the "title" attribute must be in the link tag in order to appear on screen. |
| 7.16.07 | All-CSS template download | Template home pages using 760 pixel wide header graphics have minor recoding that fixes a defect in the "BodyContent" link. |
| 7.16.07 | Graphic, Text & Color Standards | Template color palette updated with shades for maroon and gold. |
