[css-d] Explanation re: some odities
Greetings All! I am in the final stages of putting together a all CSS site and have now got IE to play nice and got the site to work on IE, Firefox Netscape 7.2 and Opera but there are two things I needed to do to 'force' it to work. Please have a look at these two points and if you can give me some clarity on why I had to go this root or, show me a better way to do it, it will be much appreciated. On the footer of the site, www.volume4.com/pattersonpruden/index.html, I have the following layout: div id=footer div id=footer-block-one/div div id=footer-block-two/div div id=footer-contentCOPYRIGHT 2005 PATTERSON PRUDEN LLC - ALL RIGHTS RESERVED/div /div The first two divs are used to create the 'gradient' effect from dark to light gray and contains no images or text. The last DIV is the container for the actual text. The CSS that controls this area is: #footer { background-color:#edecec; clear:both; padding:0; margin:0; width:778px; height:30px; overflow:hidden; } #footer-block-one { float:left; background-color:#999; margin:0; width:100px; height:30px; } #footer-block-two { position:relative; left:100px; *left:-3px; background-color:#ccc; margin:0; width:100px; height:30px; } #footer-content { position:relative; top:-22px; left:200px; margin:0; width:575px; height:30px; text-align:right; font-size:9px; } Now the two things in question. First, to get the #footer-content DIV to be aligned as I wanted I had to go to using top:-22px;, otherwise it would fall below the other two DIV even when floated right. This was the same for both Firefox and IE. Now in IE when I use the top:-22px, as well as before using this, it adds a roughly 15px to the height of the footer. To eliminate this I had to add overflow:hidden to the #footer DIV. Any explanation, pointers, tips regarding these will be much appreciated.

On Jul 7, 2005, at 7:08 PM, Jon Trelfa wrote: I know that I can use Konqueror in Linux to test what websites will look like in Safari...but it's my understanding that it only covers more recent versions of Safari? Do I assume that *most* Mac users have OSX? Is there a percentage still using OS9? If so, what do I use to test pages for them? Do I test different versions of Safari as I would different versions of IE and Netscape? What versions would be the most prevalent? Any OS since OS X 10.1 can run Safari 1.3; since Safari is automatically updated via the OS Software Update, it's reasonable to assume the population of Safari 1.0-1.2 is only a few percent of the Mac OS X users. Safari 1.3 is functionally the same as Safari 2.0, in that they were released at the same time with the same CSS fixes. Safari 2.0 is available only to OS X 10.4, and comes pre-installed. Thus, a test that is equivalent to Safari 1.3 or 2.0 will roughly cover 95%+ of the Safari users. Reasonably accurate: http://developer.apple.com/internet/safari/safari_css.html People on OS 9 are likely stuck there. IE 5.2 was installed as the default browser, with Netscape 4.x also installed (IIRC). If your log analysis program breaks out IE versions, all of your IE 5.1x and 5.2x are likely to be Mac since Windows releases were 5.0x and 5.5; my estimates put 75-90% of the IE Mac use on OS 9, which on some of my sites amounts to 25% of the total Mac use. Gecko browsers for OS 9 are hard to come by (and do not need to be considered): see http:// www.mozilla.org/download.html at the bottom of the page. My Mac test regimen: - Firefox 1.0.x (about 1.5% of the audience) - Safari 2.0 (about 2% of the audience) - IE 5.23 under Classic (about 1% of the audience) That's it. Everything else is less than 0.5% of the audience, which my clients won't pay for; I must assume that my code is good enough to not break there. I will likely stop testing Mac IE next year, except for specific sites. I cannot attest to your Konqueer-as-Safari-emulator statement. AFAIK, there is no emulator for Mac IE. It may be worth your time to buy a used Mac that has Mac Classic (OS 9) under OS X; otherwise, the Mini is cheap, but a new one will not have Classic installed. -- Ben Curtis : webwright bivia : a personal web studio http://www.bivia.com v: (818) 507-6613 __ 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/

Re: [css-d] Site Check and help with rounded corners
I am also told that in I.E. the rounded corners are not showing up. pseudo-selectors (:before, :after) are unsupported in IE so your technique for the top/bottom caps won't work in that browser. Here's a CSS/JavaScript solution called NiftyCorners that works on multiple browsers: http://pro.html.it/esempio/nifty/. However, to accommodate your quote png images (e.g., http://www.swmug.co.uk/images/bottom-right.png) would require some js/css fiddling if it could be done at all with this approach. On the other hand, NiftyCorners seems fairly popular so perhaps someone else on this forum has already made the enhancements. Stan __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

How would you do the auto numbering in css2? css3, maybe, but css2? In DOM and JavaScript that would be rather easy to do, as all you need to do is loop through spans, check if one of their classes contain footnote and replace them with the said number and a title containing the original text. However, this makes your footnote dependent on a mouse to make sense to a visual user (screen reader users will have to have title reading turned on). Wouldn't it make more sense to have the footnotes as real footnotes in the text with a target and the footnote links as real links pointing to those targets? Then you can do the beforementioned, too, but you are not dependent on mouse and hover, which can be very annoying to read and impossible to copy. __ 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/

Peggy Bart Just a suggestion: Dunno the answer to your question, Peggy-- but unless you have just a snippet there's no need to post the code and hmtl. Put up a test page with the problem isolated and the CSS embedded, or just (as you have) provide a URI to the site-- most everyone has one device or another that enables them to view your code.

[css-d] In IE 6 my dropcap is not aligning correctly
I noticed on my home page of my personal web site (http://www.inspired-evolution.com) my drop cap (the large I in inspired) doesn't exactly fit in with the rest of the word in IE 6 (pc), that is it is too far to the right. In the browser I designed the site for (Mozilla for Mac), it looks good and is positioned how I want it. Any suggestions on a IE 6 hack without messing up the positioning on the good browsers?

It's already messed up in the good browsers - all of them. Try text-zoom in your preferred browser... You're gambling with font-size and em-based margins and what not - relative to a percentage-positioned background for the whole area. That paragraph is living its own life, and just happens to line up with the I in the background - at some font-sizes - in some browsers. If you want to use a background-image as drop cap, then you should set it as background on the paragraph itself. That should make it line up perfectly stable across browser-land. In addition: .hide {display:none;} will make some (if not most) screen readers hide it completely, so some off-screen positioning should be used instead if you want that paragraph to make any sense in those. regards Georg -- http://www.gunlaug.no __ 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-d] safari/mac testing
Hi Jon, You can view your site on Safari at http://www.danvine.com/icapture for free. Available versions are Safari 1.2 and 1.1.1 running on OS 10.3.1. You can use IE 5.2.3 on OS 10.3.1 there as well. For what it's worth, my experience has been that Konqueror and Safari won't render everything exactly the same--particularly background images with no-repeat. Browsercam lets you view your site in Konqueror on RH 8.0 as well as Safari--but it's not free. Worth every penny for me so far. Hope this helps.
