Theme development

Dear all,

Can someone guide me or provide a pointer to me about below listed functions.
1.l($object->name, $object->homepage);
2.t('not verified')

what l() and t() functions are and where their definations can be found.

Regards,
Priti

I like the Amare theme but could use a slightly wider content area. Does anyone know how to tweek the CSS in order to widen the entire layout a bit?

Hi there. I've just installed Drupal on my server and now I want to integrate my existing design into it.

You can see the design here: www.qualitycrashtests.com.

Are there any tutorials that deal with this specifically? I'm (obviously) new to this, but the things I've found so far seem to deal with creating a brand new design, and I'm not sure if that applies to what I'm trying to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Hey, I would really appreciate a quick hint on how to deal with an Explorer quirk.

Check out http://66.249.137.205/about. For some reason, Microsoft explorer is cutting off blue background color for the first menu item in the left sidebar. This isn't a problem in Firefox (surprise).

I've tried turning the entire sidebar background blue, but that first menu item is still showing up with the white strip at the top.

This is probably a quick fix, but I'm racking my brain and can't figure it out.

Hello,

I'm in the middle of recreating my hand-coded community website in Drupal 4.7, and am in the midst of themeing.

What I'd like to do is what is currently here: www.weeklydavespeak.com

Drupal 4.7.3
Theme - Nifty Drupal
Module Banners (header area)

In the banner module there is a css to center banners and it does this:

.block-banner-1 {
    display: block;
    margin-left: auto;
    margin-right: auto }

as you can probably guess I can't get this to work in Nifty Durpal's style.php file

.. and when searching the internet for the method to use I can only find vertical or text-align

how would I do this in php?

any suggestion is most welcomed :-)
