[css-d] CSS Templates 1: Outside The Box

2010-12-16 Thread Gabriele Romanato
During my work I spend a lot of time searching for CSS templates, and  
I'm always struck by the fact that __all__ the templates I find are  
non-semantical and with enormous fixed widths... I know that if you  
want to post something on Theme Forest you have to stick to pixels and  
divitis but, hey, there's a limit... I guess. So here's my first,  
basic test/demo:


http://onwebdev.blogspot.com/2010/12/css-templates-outside-box.html

comments are welcome, improvements either. criticisms are too easy  
with me... I'm a psycho workaholic!

[css-d] Articles on CSS: contributors needed

2010-12-13 Thread Gabriele Romanato
As PIE with their guest articles, I definitely decided to get some  
fresh ideas from you, the members of the most important mailing list  
on CSS. I need some contributors for guest posts on the CSS category  
on my Onwebdev. But there's a problem: at the moment the only thing I  
can offer is visibility, no money, no cash, only a page rank up to 4  
and excellent indexing speed.  Here's an example of guest post:


http://onwebdev.blogspot.com/2010/12/how-to-create-user-defined-function-in.html

As you can see, the author of this post has written an HTML document  
with all its dependencies, sent it to me and I did the publishing  
stuff. But the author has also provided all the relevant information  
about himself, with all links, profiling, etc.


I'm not Uncle Scrooge, and this is not about the ongoing crisis: the  
fact is that at the moment I get 400 $ per month, due to some  
restrictions that don't depend from my agency... so you got the idea.


If you're interested, please contact me.

As always,

[css-d] ::first-word pseudo-element (and other pseudo-ideas)

2010-12-11 Thread Gabriele Romanato
I'm following an interesting discussion on www-style about new ideas  
for new pseudo-elements in CSS3. Latest entries concern the ::first- 
word pseudo-element. I quote the most relevant ones:


--

Pierre Bertet wrote:


But the ::first-letter already do this, defining a letter, wich is
not very clear too. To clarify this, the CSS3 Selectors spec refers to
the Unicode Standard Annex #29 [1].
This document seems very complex to me, but it also contains a “Word
Boundaries” section, which seems to defines exactly that.



So my questions are:
This section could it not be used to clarify what a “word” is?


The extensive caveats in the notes to that section of TUS Annex #29  
would need to be taken into account. Word boundary identification  
needs to be tailored for many languages, and the basic Unicode  
mechanism only aims to provide 'as workable a default as possible'.


Words -- and syllables, which present similar issues for selecting  
appropriate text elements for styling -- are units of spoken language  
that may or may not be easily isolated as units in written language,  
depending on particular writing systems as applied to particular  
languages. In some systems, e.g. Thai, word selection is only possible  
with dictionary support.




So the point is that it doesn't exist a clear definition of word (in  
its textual representation, but, ouch, also in linguistics) and for  
that reason this proposal has been rejected. But there are other  
interesting ideas of this sort, such as:


1. nth-line()
Pseudo-class. It should select the nth-line of a block. But is  
there a definition of line that could be accepted?


2. nth-word()
Pseudo-class. See the objections above.


The point is that we all have good ideas and hints on CSS, but the sad  
truth is that on www-style they don't pass the first reader comments.
Anyway, I encourage you on following these discussions because there's  
always something new to learn.


Good night, (my time, Rome CET)

[css-d] Floated images: clearing and containing

2010-12-07 Thread Gabriele Romanato

Hi!
I'm worst at what I do best / and for this gift I feel  
blessed (Nirvana, Smells Like Teen Spirit)

so here is my contribution to the topic:

http://onwebdev.blogspot.com/2010/12/css-floated-images-clearing-and.html

Notice that the containing class can be dynamically added via JS, or,  
in nuce, with a server-side language, but in this case you have to  
know in advance what paragraph will contain the floated image.

ps. if you run a deep search through the jQuery category of my blog,

[css-d] Printing URLs with generated content

2010-11-25 Thread Gabriele Romanato

Hi all!
After 7 months, finally we can start saying : 'Look ma, no JS'!
I know, I know... market shares of IE 6 still greater than 5% and IE 7  
still with some sort of 11% (I don't know stats, but probably the best  
place is w3schools or even your stats panel of your own site). anyway,  
I've rewritten one of my oldest posts:


http://onwebdev.blogspot.com/2010/11/css-printing-urls-with-generated.html

that's all about CSS for print. I'm so proud of getting back to css-d  
with a post that doesn't make use of JS at all!
I was so addicted to JS and jQuery that I needed to be detoxed some  
way...

Re: [css-d] XHTML or not?

2010-11-10 Thread Gabriele Romanato

Hi John.
Using XHTML today's like riding a dead horse. XHTML will no longer be  
developed, at least in a reasonable time span. The fact is that XHTML  
was designed to be served as application/xhtml+xml in order to make it  
interact with other markup languages, such as SVG, MathML and SMIL.  
The problem is that IE doesn't support this mime type. The latest  
update from MS claims that IE9 will support it, but without checking  
if a document is well-formed or not. That is, MS seems to ignore even  
the most basic rule of XML. So, if you want my little piece of advice,  
start getting used to HTML5. I'm not saying that you should use all  
its elements, but only to take the habit of writing HTML5 documents.  
You'll find out that HTML5 is really like HTML4, but with a lot of  
improvements. bye :-)

[css-d] A question on CSS compression and minifcation

2010-11-06 Thread Gabriele Romanato

Hi all.
Since the overwhelming majority of my clients own websites hosted on  
shared hosts, I was wondering if there's a straight way to compress  
CSS without taking into account the oddities of the default  
configuration of the web server , which varies greatly from hoster to  
hoster.
Almost a year ago I switched to YUI Compressor for minification and it  
really works.  Now I want to use compression on shared hosts, but I'm  
afraid of getting thorugh all the tests with the .htaccess file that,  
by the way, it's limited in some ways on a shared host.  And yes,  
there's no way to access the infamous httpd.conf file on such hosts !  
.  Did you find a solution to this problem? A couple of months ago  
I stumbled on a PHP script that performs minifcation using the ob_  
function group and includes. Nice, but what about compression? I know  
that I could activate the gzlib compression via PHP, but I don't know  
if this will succeed on a shared host. Hope you have some answer, as  
always.

Re: [css-d] div id=nav VS. nav

2010-10-18 Thread Gabriele Romanato

Hi!
What you're using here is not CSS3, but actually HTML5 brand new  
elements. The point is that browsers currently still don't use an  
associated default style sheet for these elements. Further, some  
browsers do not recognize them as HTML elements. For example, Firefox  
3.6.8 doesn't support them but Firefox 4 does. So the point is: use  
divs for now, and later, when these new elements will be widely  
supported, change div=nav to nav.

[css-d] Some obscure details of CSS: China-friendly version

2010-09-08 Thread Gabriele Romanato
I've been using CSS for almost six years. During this period,  
sometimes I wondered about some obscure details of CSS specifications.  
These details are listed below.


• LAYERING AND STACKING ORDER
When elements are absolutely positioned, it's crucial to determine how  
they should be overlapped. The problem is that most browsers don't  
agree on how this stacking order should be displayed. For example,  
consider the following:


view plainprint?
• #container {
•   position: relative;
• }
•
• #child {
•   position: absolute;
•   z-index: -1;
• }
In this case, this element should not be displayed, since we gave to  
it a negative z-index. Unfortunately, some browsers don't consider 0  
as the starting value for the stacking order, so this rule won't work  
in some cases.


• CLEARING AND CONTAINING FLOATS
As developers, we all know a series of techniques for clearing and  
containing floats, which includes:


• overflow:auto/hidden
• position: absolute
I mentioned only those that keep me wondering about how they actually  
work. We all know that floats make vertical space collapse. However,  
when the former declaration is applied to a parent element, browsers  
automatically expand the available vertical space to include floats,  
even when those floats have no stated height. So we should assume that  
browsers automatically calculate the height of these elements and  
react accordingly.


Instead, the latter declaration is even more complicated. We just  
assume that the vertical space is calculated again according to the  
actual height of floats, but I don't think this is a sufficient  
explanation. CSS specifications don't say much about this issue. More  
precisely, they don't say much about the general problem of clearing  
and containing floats.


• NEGATIVE MARGINS
The question is: How negative margins affect the computation of the  
overall dimensions of a containing block? By subtracting a given  
length, both horizontal and vertical, what is the computed value of  
the width and height of a containing block? This should be further  
investigated.

Re: [css-d] drop shadows

2010-08-09 Thread Gabriele Romanato
Hi!
The CSS way is using text-shadow:

h1 {text-shadow: 3px 3px 3px #ccc}

Another way is using 2 wrappers:

h1spanText/span/h1

h1 span {
 position: relative;
top: 3px;
left: 3px;
color: #ccc;
}

Finally, you can use image replacement and graphics:

h1 {
   background: url(text.png) no-repeat 0 0;
   text-indent: -1000em;
   height: value;
}

Re: [css-d] print stylesheet

2010-08-02 Thread Gabriele Romanato
Congrats for the website! It's beatiful. ^.^/
Coming to your question, at the moment there are no straight solutions  
to your problem. To change the background, simply specify a white  
background color on your print stylesheet:

head
link rel=stylesheet href=print.css type=text/css media=print /
/head

body {
background: #fff;
color: #000;
}

You can even get rid of unwanted elements:

#navigation {display: none;}

Footer is more problematic. In CSS for print you cannot use absolute  
positioning to put your footer at the very bottom of your page. More  
precisely, some browsers accept it but with unexpected results. So the  
best thing you can do is using a fallback solution, like specifying a  
certain amount of padding and margins to push the footer bottomside.  
Of course you need to perform some calculations on each page. HTH ^^

Hi!
you basically need two things to do this: CSS and JavaScript.

CSS:
floats to handle the alignment of the images
JavaScript:
to create the slideshow

for JS, search for 'javascript slideshow' or 'jquery slideshow'.
take a look at the source code of that page and check out what library  
they're currently using.

Re: [css-d] id and class selectors

2010-07-21 Thread Gabriele Romanato
Kris, you should basically use cascade. For example, if you have a  
structure like this:

div id=test
ul
li/li
!--more--
/ul
div

you can do this:

#test ul {}
#test ul li {}

if you want to apply particular styles to several lis, you can use  
classes. On the contrary, if you want to stylize only one element, use  
an ID.

[css-d] CSS3: The border-opacity property (proposal)

2010-07-12 Thread Gabriele Romanato
Hi!
I never take a vacation:

http://onwebdev.blogspot.com/2010/07/css3-border-opacity-property.html

I hope they will take this into account (seen a lot of posts on the  
subject, mainly about the use of RGBA values, not a property per  
se). :-)

HTH.

Hugs,

[css-d] Styling an hCard with CSS

Hi all!
An hCard is a microformat specification. I've played a little bit with  
it:

http://onwebdev.blogspot.com/2010/06/styling-hcard-with-css.html

Here we don't need a 100% support to IE6, simply because this browser  
(but also 7 and 8), doesn't support microformats. HTH :-)

[css-d] An image gallery with a definition list and CSS

2010-06-18 Thread Gabriele Romanato
Hi!
If I recall correctly, this is a smart technique proposed by Ingo Chao  
on his website (http://www.satzansatz.de/css.html). It actually adds  
more semantics to the styling of an image gallery.

http://onwebdev.blogspot.com/2010/06/image-gallery-with-definition-list-and.html

I didn't test it in IE. Could you please write some comments?  
Screenshots are really appreciated.
The main problem here is when you try to make more dt and dd  
elements appear on the same line, for example:

dt  dd  dt dd
dt  dd  dt  dd

here you have to make some nasty space calculations and rely on one of  
the 9 rules governing float behavior (that saying: when there's no  
more space available, put the float on the next line). Actually,  
floats inside the dl element are _contained_ but NOT cleared.  
Suggestions? Improvements? Let me know! :-)

Re: [css-d] Text input height and CSS font size/family

2010-06-10 Thread Gabriele Romanato


 So your tests highlight  the input box adapts to font size and family?

Nope. As the title of the tests say, only their _height_. For that  
reason I specified a width  for the input elements. Input elements are  
inline-block elements.  the problem you mentioned:

label for=testTest/label
input type=text name=test id=test /

label {
 font: 1em Arial, sans-serif;
 vertical-align: middle;
}

input {
 font: 1em Arial, sans-serif;
 vertical-align: middle;
}

you can fix it with this, but it's really rare that a web developer  
wants to align these elements this way, because it causes many  
troubles. How do I know it? Because I've tested it:

Re: [css-d] IE button issues

2010-06-09 Thread Gabriele Romanato
IE has notorious problems with pseudo-classes attached to classes. If  
you want to achieve this effect:

function emulateActive() {

 var inputs = document.getElementsByTagName('input');

 for(var i=0; i  inputs.length; i++) {

 var input = inputs[i];

 if(input.className == 'button') {

input.onclick = function() {

  var img = 'url(button.png)';

   this.style.backgroundImage = img;
   this.style.backgroundPosition = '0 -30px';

}

}

 }
}

Test this script with conditional comments in IE and see if it works.   
let me know. bye

[css-d] Feedback needed: improving the quality of my CSS posts

2010-06-04 Thread Gabriele Romanato
Hi all,
since January I started the blog that you can see in my signature.  
I've published almost 80 posts on CSS so far. But now I need your  
help, because I don't exactly know if I'm writing good posts on just  
junk. I need your help because you're the most skilled CSS community  
on the WWW. I don't receive many useful comments on my blog, except  
those from Alan Gresley (^.^). I know that I should be more present on  
this mailing list, but the sad fact is that I'm very, very busy with  
my work and when I go online I simply try to relax by spitting out  
some posts. Maybe I'm turning into an obsessive-compulsive  
blogaholic,  but this is the way I am now. Btw, I've put up a list of  
my recent, useless demos at http://dev.css-zibaldone.com/demos/ 
list.php ... these need some feedback too. Be very sincere. Don't be  
afraid: you won't hurt me. thanks!

[css-d] Clearing floats with display: table: an improvement to the Easy Clearing for the new browser generation

2010-05-23 Thread Gabriele Romanato
Hi folks,
since I'm again in the manic phase of my BD, I've done some tests that  
I've summarized in this post:

Re: [css-d] validators tied up today?

2010-05-12 Thread Gabriele Romanato
Honestly speaking guys, I don't see the point with using the W3C CSS  
Validator today. If you need parsing check, it's already performed by  
most browsers. If you need version checking, simply stick to each  
style definition explained in the specs. For example, simply add  
profile=cssn to your validator URI to check if your styles conform to  
the n spec (1, 2, 3). Of course, this is NOT mandatory, because the  
bigon age of W3C CSS badges is over. A website should be more than  
simply validated to satisfy user needs: it should be usable, user- 
friendly and accessible. Further, it should present  interesting and  
useful contents.  That's all. A user don't care a fig if you're using  
'border-radius' or '-moz-border-radius',  remember that. By the way,  
as a W3C translator I also noticed that most W3C pages don't validate.  
So what? bye ;-)

Re: [css-d] Another IE6 issue I don't understand

2010-03-15 Thread Gabriele Romanato
Basically, when you test something with CSS, you should always make  
sure that no DOM interactions are actually active, that is, you should  
remove all JS files from your page. Then you can start testing.
Since you said that all elements have layout, I guess it's something  
related to element dimensions and floats.
I can't see your CSS code right here in IE, but try to use this:

http://www.css-zibaldone.com/code/jquery/ie6fix/

since you're familiar with JS scripting, this could help you with  
testing. Once you've found out what's wrong with IE, you can move the  
CSS declarations from the ie6fix plugin to your IE6 css file. HTH

[css-d] IE7 bug with inheritance

2010-03-06 Thread Gabriele Romanato
Hi all!
Please read the latest two posts on IE7 on my blog and tell me if I  
stumbled on something that's well-documented or not. Can you make up a  
static  test? I used JavaScript to create spans in the following  
structure:

ul id=navigation
lia href=spanLink/span/a/li
/ul

Try to apply some styles to :hover: nothing happens to links, but they  
maintain the same styles specified before. thanks in advance.

ps. the solution is to specify styles for the span elements.

[css-d] [CSS project] jQuery CSS Parser (beta): who wish to contribute?

2010-02-19 Thread Gabriele Romanato
This is a CSS-related project announce:

I've just finished the unstable, buggy, messy beta of my jQuery CSS  
parser:

http://www.css-zibaldone.com/code/jquery/css-parser/beta/

The final version should be entirely rewritten and serve as a mean to  
parse a CSS file via Ajax.
Is there someone of you who wish to contribute? The most difficult  
part of the project is the tokenizer. I
found inspiration from the nsCSSScanner of Firefox (http://mxr.mozilla.org 
), but JavaScript is different from C++, you know :-D Douglas  
Crockford wrote a good example of tokenizer in his JSON library which  
I know pretty well.

Anyway, if you want to contribute, let me know. More sketches needed,  
though...

thanks 4 your attention! bye ;-)

Re: [css-d] Jigsaw validator

2010-02-15 Thread Gabriele Romanato
Nope. The order in this case is ignored. Even the color value is  
regognized as a valid CSS 2.1 color value.
If all browsers apply the rule, then the validator is wrong. Token  
order in shorthand notation is not so fixed.
Please report this problem to the validator maintainers. Maybe  
something in the construction of the parse tree should be  
reformulated. bye ;-)

[css-d] Why JavaScript and CSS can work well together

2010-01-07 Thread Gabriele Romanato
Eric Meyer once said: JavaScript will save us all.
I started to effectively work with JavaScript almost a year ago, when I
discovered the powerful features of jQuery and the DOM.
I have to say that JavaScript and CSS can work well together, especially
when dealing with browsers inconsistencies and automating some repetitive
tasks. Did you know, for example, that with jQuery you can automatically
clear floats without manually adding the infamous .clearfix class?
Of course I'm talking about unobtrusive JavaScript, but you get the idea.
Sometimes on this list I see people who try to fix some problems with long
and tedious CSS procedures that could be easily solved with a single
JavaScript
statement... and in a cross-browser way!
So here's a little piece of advice: don't fear JavaScript as the boogey-man!
Try to discover its features, say, rediscover them, and you will see how
your
daily work on web sites is greatily improved.
Happy New Year and best wishes,

Gabriele Romanato
