Hi, Andrew... The white space in the CSS file is actually some sort of weirdness on the part of Axentra. It was all nice and neat and reasonably compact when I uploaded it, and then for some odd reason it added more white space between each line every time I went in and edited it through their interface.
What I finally did is just bit the bullet, used ":root selector", included a note stating that it didn't pass CSS2 validation, with a link pointing to the W3C page that discusses it as a candidate pseudo-class - I'll leave the project lead the job of educating the people who have to sign off on this. At any rate, it hides the dropdown from Opera, and when I finally managed to get the @media hack to work, I found that it also kept Netscape from making use of the CSS file, and created a validation error which made no sense whatsoever. ":root selector" was the lesser of evils. Thanks for the input. I appreciate it! ~~J. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Andrew Gregory Sent: Sunday, August 28, 2005 11:47 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [email protected] Subject: Re: [css-d] Suckerfish / Opera woes On Mon, 29 Aug 2005 02:13:23 +0800, Janine Hodge <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > The page is at: > > http://axentra.net/www/treswife/pmi-index.html > > The CSS is at: > > http://axentra.net/files/treswife/PublicFiles/gecko2.css What have you done to that poor CSS file?

I know that older versions of Opera require width to be specified on floats (as per the original CSS 2.0 spec). I'll also mention that when I did CSS menus for my site, I didn't use floats, just positioning. -- Andrew Gregory, <URL: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > <URL: http://www.scss.com.au/family/andrew/ > ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/ ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
