Lectures
Since some of us weren't planning on going to the What's Next talk, we decided to keep the normal day/time.
Btw, I put up a poll up awhile back about a lunch time DUG meeting but have only gotten 4 votes (one of which is mine).

If you can't make it Tuesday, maybe some of us can meet up for lunch or coffee mid or late October.

Getting inside
There really needs to be a way to get inside when someone is a bit late.
Drat!!!

Probably Late
Hi all,
I was planning on being on time tomorrow for the meeting but it looks like my loan officer has to have a notary come to our house at 6pm tomorrow for signing paperwork... I imagine it will take more than 1 hour so I will be late... I hope by 7:30!

Better IE standards support via js library
At the meeting I mentioned a js library I'm using to get :hover and > child selectors working in IE. I thought the project was on sourceforge, but it's actually here: http://code.google.com/p/ie7-js/
This is their synopis: "IE7.js is a JavaScript library to make Microsoft Internet Explorer behave like a standards-compliant browser. It fixes many HTML and CSS issues and makes transparent PNG work correctly under IE5 and IE6."
The library is up to IE9.js already. I was able to get a pure CSS menu based on unordered lists to work in IE, FF, and Safari as long as IE used this library. No other tweaks were necessary. It doesn't solve everything, but it was very difficult to find anyone even claiming to make child selectors work - this is the only one I could find even after exhaustive (exhausting?) searching.
Give it a try and then tell others about it so the project team will be incented to make even more things work ;-)
Working with grid layouts in FF
Blueprint CSS was mentioned at the meeting. I remember seeing a pretty favorable review of it from a theme developer who tried it for the first time.
If you use FireFox and you're working with grid layouts you should look at this plugin: http://www.puidokas.com/portfolio/gridfox/
Thanks for that link! In case
Thanks for that link! In case anyone wants more grid-based resources, here is the drupal theme that uses it:
http://drupal.org/project/blueprint
I am more familiar with the 960 grid, so I'd like to add some 960 grid resources to the list:
http://960.gs/
http://drupal.org/project/ninesixty ...this one is a really simple base theme that might help those learning theme development- it helped me!
http://drupal.org/project/ninesixtyrobots ...the lullabot one that was developed for their videos
Also I believe Zen and Omega use the grid as well.
And another browser grid overlay tool (for 960): http://gridder.andreehansson.se/
The theme Framework uses its own grid. I like this theme and often use it as a base, though I tend to override the Framework grid with the 960 grid.
I'm sure there are more! Grid grid grid. :)

Zen
Zen doesn't do 960 (unless there is a new version that does or a spin off). I've used Zen on a few projects and it's a bit heavy and you need to be comfortable with negative margins which I wasn't when I first started using Zen!
