Happy New Year to all anyway - and if someone can tell me how the jingle bells to make sure a reply actually appends itself to the appropriate thread I'd be mighty grateful. Such is my dedication to CSS that this is the first list I've ever joined!
Thanks to Ingo and Francky for their thoughts - much appreciated. I'm having to settle for less just now thanks to deadline/brain pain, but I will return to it soon. Ingo, >Currently, your list entries do not have "layout"...lists do show more bugs as usual in IE when >the li gets layout I will have to give this more thought when I get time - the idea of unleashing more bugs has brought me out in a cold sweat. Francky, >I think the somewhat more smooth edges in a png will be remarked only by >say 1 to 5% of the site-visitors. I am that 5%! The reason I was (am) so keen on PNG's is that for any transparent corner that's more than a few pixels in radius, those jaggies hurt me, they hurt me! >remember on what site-pages you saw disgusting gif-corners http://notabene.f2o.org/misc/evolt/png_css_hack/example.htm ;P OK not corners exactly but jaggy edges suck! Thanks too though, Francky, for alerting me to the font resizing - I was so wrapped up in the PNG issue I forgot about that! It did make me think that the flexible version would require 2 images, which I'm using elsewhere on the site (based on the good demos at http://www.456bereastreet.com/lab/teaser/flexible/) to make pullquote boxes. I'm now wondering if I can adapt this to be a stretchy link! All this got me thinking anyway, which is almost always good. This and other handy tips at 24ways.org got me thinking about z-index and child selectors in particular http://24ways.org/advent/zs-not-dead-baby-zs-not-dead - both seem like ways to avoid "the difficult child" 'cleanly'. >sit down for 5 minutes reading a good book Does anyone have a "must-have" suggestion for CSS2 reading!?
