Appendix E
Internet journal styles

This appendix is an explanation of the styles used for the as-yet-unnamed quarterly CT technical journal published on the CT Internet web site. Every page on the Collective Technologies Internet web site except the front page uses frames. This includes the technical journal.

The html for the frames is:

<FRAMESET  ROWS="71,*" FRAMEborder="0" FRAMESPACING="0" border="0">
    <FRAME NAME="top" SRC="/frame_parts/top.html" \
      MARGINwidth="0" MARGINheight="0" SCRolliNG="no" \
      FRAMEborder="0">
    <FRAMESET  ROWS="*,41">
        <FRAME NAME="main" SRC="URL_for_data_frame" \
          MARGINwidth="0" MARGINheight="0" SCRolliNG="auto" \
          FRAMEborder="0">
        <FRAME NAME="footer" SRC="/frame_parts/footer.html" \
          MARGINwidth="0" MARGINheight="0" SCRolliNG="no" \
          FRAMEborder="0">
    </FRAMESET>
</FRAMESET>

In English, the frame rules are:

• Top--The site-wide navigation links with the collective "comets" logo on the far right. The frame is 775 pixels wide by 71 pixels high. The text is in white; the background is blue (though not the PMS 288 CVC blue). This is the same as the rest of the Internet web site.
  
  
• Main--The main data or content frame. The frame is 775 pixels wide and as high as necessary to hold all the content. The text is black (with yellow all-caps Heading 1 text). The background is white.
  
  The left 10% of the main frame is a menu or table of contents. The background is blue, the text is white, and the menu uses the JavaScript onMouseOver() function to change the text to yellow.
  
  The right 90% of the main frame is the content. Unlike the Internet web site, we are not using the yellow-on-white text for first-level headers. Main headers are boldface and larger by one level; subheaders are boldface and in normal type. The text is in a sans serif font.
  
  The two portions are separated by a 2-pixel thin yellow line. This is the same as the rest of the Internet web site.
  
  
• Footer--The site-wide footer links. The frame is 775 pixels wide by 41 pixels high. The text is in gray on a yellow background. This is the same as the rest of the Internet web site.
  
  

The color palette is the same as for the Internet web site. Refer to the "Color palette" section for details.

The font size is larger for the journal as for the Internet web site. Use 12-point for the headers and 11-point for the text.
