v3.5 04/01/2008- 05/31/2008 Major Update/ Redesign
Filename Description
  • all files in /chineseart/contents/
  • Redesigned viewing matrix for entire site's contents to include the following features:
    • All images are now located on their parent page and not individual pages.
    • Viewing is suspended until the page is 'loaded'.
      • An animated graphic appears prior to the completion of the page load informing visitors that the page is loading.
      • This feature is governed by the function pldiv in all relevant pages. Generally speaking, any pages which do not contain images do not use this function.
    • The need for three sizes (navigation size (typically 50px in width), section size (typically 100px in width) and normal size) of images have been eliminated in favor of only two- navigation size and normal size.
      • The only sections where this is not true are contents/arti/c01s01.html (the art album parent page- these images link to their parent album, where the new matrix is used) and contents/atls/c01.htm and contents/atls/c02.htm.
    • Employed use of showDiv function as a basis for the new viewing matrix.
  • Results of the redesign include deletion of all separate image pages.
    • The individual image pages were converted to relocation pages, placed on the server side directory and deleted from the client side directory only after relevant information (including meta tag keywords, image descriptions and such) was removed to the redesigned matrix div's for those images.
  • /chineseart/aic.js
  • Created file.

This is the js that all pages should refer to.

  • /chineseart/aicexp.js
  • Created and began using js capabilities to maintain consistency in sub titles, page titles, universal page navigation and link styles along with banner governance and end page details.
  • There are 24 functions.

This is the js that is loaded by aic.js and contains all functions.

  • /chineseart/aicver.js
  • Created and began using js capabilities to maintain consistency in versioning display on index page.
  • /chineseart/aic.css
  • Updated classes to better work with and compliment the aicexp.js functions.
