Anyone else use Gramps?

Hi all,

Anyone use Gramps (Genealogical Research and Analysis Management Programming System)?

Have you played with the css's for the web pages? I thought I knew css pages but there's a (what should be simple) mod that I just can't get right!

If there's another like minded Linux + web design geek out there, please respond!

I've have had a look at GRAMPS i.e. downloaded it and imported a GEDCOM file into it.  I also managed to get PAF working under WINE but it didn't function as well as it does on Windows.

Theoretically, CSS should be the same on Linux as it is on Windows.

Possibly this is a Firefox problem, or at least how Firefox renders certain CSS code?

Can you provide an example of what is going wrong?

Hi downside,

How dare you! A problem with Firefox - never  (Let's not forget, Firefox is totally WWW3 compliant - MS is only just starting to play the game with IE8).  (As an aside, I'm sniggering at the thought of the number of websites that will start to render poorly - you know, all those ones made with Frontpage).

Can't give an exact example as my external USB hard drive (where the Heron lives) lost it's boot sector a couple of hours after I made that post! (Got to save pennies for new one  ). And no, I don't have a decent back up - I'd become so complacent with the reliability of the OS that I forgot the possibility hardware failure!!!!!  I know I can get all the info off the disk. There's an outfit called Disk Doctors in London. Full retrieval onto CD's, 3 day turn round. The downside - approx £400.

I'll start a new thread when I have a decent OS back (maybe the kids will buy me a new one for Christmas).
