[css-d] Ad-free Opera available for everyone

2005-09-20 Thread Timothy J. Luoma
Opera has announced that they are removing the ads from the 8.5
version of Opera browser, released today for Windows, Mac, Linux, etc.

Read more here:

http://operalover.tntluoma.com/8/opera_is_free_today_tomorrow_forever

I also provide a link to download Opera (Windows or Mac only) from my
site if Opera's servers get overloaded. (Please don't link to the file
on my site, if you want to share it with others, give them the URL
above).

http://operalover.tntluoma.com/8/ also has a "New User's Guide" called
"30 days to becoming an Opera Lover" which is currently on day 23.  I
hope "switchers" will find it helpful.  If not, my apologies for the
interruption, and head over to www.opera.com to download Opera if
you'd like.

Happy coding!

[css-d] Back slash hack / Safari / FOUC

2005-09-20 Thread Richard Hawking

I need to hide all styles from IE Mac, so I used:

/* commented backslash hack v2 \*/
@import url(import/navigation.css);
/* end hack */

To hide the styling.

The above code is included in the file linked to from the header document with:

href="style/nav.css" />


Unfortunately, this is causing terrible FOUC problem in Safari. Is 
there another way I can hide all styles from IE Mac? There are 
several stylesheets which need to be hidden.

[css-d] *argh* listitis.....!?!?

2005-09-20 Thread Kristina Floyd

Hello list

I'm concerned that i've got listitis!!  What I mean is, I think I've 
gone from div-itis to li-stitis.


Please can you tell me if the information on this page is a list?


In general is the information on that page semantically correct?  How 
can I check this?


If you are interested in seeing any of the other pages in this prototype 
please go to 


Is this something other people are finding, 'that everything is a list'? 
 Is this true, or are we in danger of going crazy with lists?


(I want to try and get a better handle on this, before I've got a 
ga-zillion websites that will need re-doing, in the not so distant future)


Thanks

Kristina: I think much of the content on your page is lists. However,
the Venue Detail is not really a list. I would suggest that this
information is really a definition list - you have a parent "term" -
the venue - with children "definitions" or data about the venue. 
definition tags also allow block-level content, so you can put
paragraphs in there, for example.

Also, there's no relationship right now between your top nav bar and
the subnav - if the subnav is related to HOME, for example, it should
be a nested list (ideally) or less ideally have some sort of heading
that identifies it as a subnav. If I look at the page non-styled, the
subnav simply lines up as list items following the upper nav, so it
appears to be at the same hierarchy.

There's no way to check for sure whether your markup is correct. But
rest in the knowledge that there really aren't THAT many HTML
tags...think about what the content really IS. In the case of your
nav, the secondary nav is (I think) hierarchically nested in the first
nav, so build it as a nested list and then style it to position where
you want.

In the case of lists, think about whether each of the items in your
list could be shuffled around without losing meaning. To me,
Lighthouse, Poole needs to be at the top - it's the parent, and the
rest is just meta data about the venue. So, a  definition list
makes more sense to me than making it equivalent to the other list
items.

[css-d] Adding 'bullet' to list on hover.

2005-09-20 Thread Julian Voelcker
Hi All,

I'm just wondering if this is possible...

I have a list that I am using as a menu, but want to be able to add a } 
character to the end of a list item when you hover the mouse over the 
link.

The code I have so far is:


contact }



I can hide the } character by making it the same colour as the 
background colour (I'm guessing using display:none will cause 
flickering on hover) but how can I get it to display when the mouse 
hovers over the link?

Cheers,

[css-d] Site design

2005-09-20 Thread Richard Brown

Hi All

Can anybody help me please? I would like to do a design that looks like 
this:


http://www.mevagisseyapartments.co.uk/design.jpg

The first box of the top five is slightly larger than the rest and will 
contain the header. The other four boxes are the same size and square.


The box on the left will be text and the box on the right will be a 
calendar or photo.


The final bottom box will be a footer.

Can anybody point me in the right direction for a fixed width design 
that can explain to me how to get five elements across the top.


Thanks

The goal is to have a good, working page.  The validator is one tool 
you can use to help you accomplish that goal.  Pleasing the validator 
should not be an end in itself.


Having said that, an "error" means that you have some CSS that is 
incorrect according to the validation profile you used.  There may be 
some good reasons for having errors (e.g. using some CSS3 features, 
even though validating against the CSS2 profile).  A "warning" means 
that the CSS is valid according to the profile, but may present 
problems for one reason or another.  You need to look at both 
warnings and errors and make sure that you understand what each one 
is and whether or not it will break your page.  How seriously you 
take them depends entirely on what they are.  The most common warning 
is not specifying color and background-color together.  Most of the 
time, this is not a show-stopping problem; however, it can be, so you 
need to look at your particular page and make sure.

[css-d] How to maintain parent li:hover effect when child is hovered

2005-09-20 Thread Mann, Lydia
I've gotten help on this project a couple of times (thank you all) but have
one remaining problem:

When you hover over one of the *folder* tabs (on the left) the text turns
white and the background darker, created by two declarations:
background-position (for the image) and a:hover (color). I cannot figure out
how to keep those in place when the user rolls over one of the popout menus
(so that the parent tab remains dark with white text).

Here is a link to the markup
(http://www.lydiamann.com/TBMA_files/default.shtml) and the CSS
(http://www.lydiamann.com/TBMA_files/scripts/adminonline091505.css)

I feel like I have read of a solution for this but can't recall and don't
seem to have the notes anywhere. I've gone back to the original article in
PIE but can't figure it out. If anyone has a solution, I'd love some
direction.

Thanks, in advance.

Hi there, 

I brooded over an issue I encountered in a lot of projects of late:
CMS editors choking on CSS layouts. I think it is high time we made
sure there is a way around that - to stop CMS vendors advertising
table layouts as a lot safer. The idea is to apply styles only in the
CMS to overwrite tricky CSS.

What do you think? Did you have the same experiences?

A warning basically tells you that a particular part of your code is
perfectly valid, but that it _may_ give unwanted side-effects. The
validator can't check the end-result, so it's telling you to check your
choices one more time and make sure you made the right ones.

Examples:
- You may get a warning that some CSS3 code won't work reliable -- yet.
The validator can't check if you have coded fall-backs. Progressive
coding may give you a few of those.

- Warnings about (lack of) foreground/background colors tell you to
check that your choices are good. The validator can't see the
end-result, so things may work out perfectly well even with a few of those.



It is no goal to get zero warnings. It is a goal to check out and
understand why you get each one of them.

Well-calculated but non-valid code may be the only option in some rare
cases, so even a _very_ limited number of errors _may_ be acceptable if
you know exactly what you are doing.

Georg

[css-d] Padding and divs, basic question

.foo {
width: 120px;

Something


So that's just fine, but the "Something" is butted right up on the red
border, I want it in somewhat, but then it changes the width if I use margin
or padding, and I am betting various browsers deal with this in different

Real browsers add the padding to the width, so if you want an element
with a width of 120px and padding you need to substract them:

#foo{
  width:100px;
  padding:0 10px;
}

Older versions of MSIE make a pig's ear out of that, and you'll need
to hack for them:

If your div's content is wrapped in another element, most likely a
, you can apply the padding/margins to that element rather than the
container, thus avoiding any box model hacking:

div.foo { width: 120px; border: 1px solid red; }
div.foo p { margin: 10px; }


Something


This is actually better semantically as well, since a div is
semantically neutral and adds no inherent meaning to "Something".

[css-d] 'popup menu' and select problems

2005-09-20 Thread Tony Garcia

Well, it's not quite as simple as that :(

I have some popup menus that I'm trying to get to display properly in IE 
6, with a drop-down "select" list underneath. This problem appears to be 
well-known, and I found plenty of info on using IFRAME to get around it.


The problem that I'm having is that the IFRAME won't go behind the 
popup. Even if the popup DIV z-index is 100 and the IFRAME z-index is 1, 
the IRFAME still displays in front of the DIV. I fixed this partially by 
making the IFRAME transparent, but that only allows me to see the menu 
items - the rollovers don't work, and I can't click on them.


I have a slight suspicion that this is due to the Position styles on all 
the parent elements. I was wondering if anyone may be able to confirm that?


A little psuedo-html  to get the idea of the layout:


  
 //header stuff here
  
  
 Dropdown Menu
onClick='javascript:doPopup()'>

   Item 1
   Item 2
   Item 3

 
  
  
 
Option 1
Option 2
Option 3
 
  


  //This is resized and moved by javascript:doPopup()


I have no problem getting the IFRAME and menu DIV to line up, but the 
IFRAME is always in front. Will I need to declare position: for all 
parent elements of the menu DIV?


TIA,

(btw, I guess I should say 'hi', too!)

Tony

[css-d] site check: Style Checkboxes Cross-Browser in Windows

2005-09-20 Thread Brett Merkey
I am experimenting with a Unicode font, Lucida Sans Unicode, to provide a
x-browser way to get around IE's inabilities regarding form checkboxes. The
font is supposedly on every Windows machine since Win 98 but I find that one
machine with that font (and same version 2.0 of the font) fails completely.
On the other machines, IE5+, Firefox/Mozilla, and Opera perform as desired.

I am hoping some people can take a look on their Windows machines and e-mail
me privately so I can determine if the one failure was an anomaly or I have
one more failed experiment to add to the pile.

Unfortunately, this is causing terrible FOUC problem in Safari. Is 
there another way I can hide all styles from IE Mac? There are several 
stylesheets which need to be hidden.

You might try enclosing the css within:
@media screen { 
...

}

Re: [css-d] text-justify and equal word-spacing

My question:
I need to not only justify align a text in a  but need to have a

cross-browser, IE WIN does a great job with text-justify: newspaper.
Other browser like Mozilla, one can use text-align:justify but the 
words are not 'that' equally spaced
but aligned justified.  Maybe word-spacing is an idea, tried it once 
but not that consistent.

Any ideas would be great?

Sorry. Forget it. It ain't gonna' work on the Web.There are too many 
variables. Use flush left/ragged right /or/ flush right/ragged left.

Andrew,

Thanks for checking the URI. The 'Archived P/P' is a known issue.

[css-d] href's and images

2005-09-20 Thread Sam Leathers
I'm working on a website where I have a standard  list for links in
display: block; Currently, the links are  tags, but I'd like to use
css to display the image. I know I can use background:
url("/path/to/image.gif"), but whats the best way to have a different
image for each href? Do I need to have each href in a different class to
achieve this? Also, if it makes any difference, I do plan on using the
hover tag to do an image swap.

It has the same issue as other attempts to style form elements via
scripting and CSS - a change in the user experience and being less
accessible. I can access real checkboxes via keyboard, your solution
does not allow me to do that. Furthermore I need scripting enabled to
select and read anything.

The way around that would be to use real checkboxes and replace them
with your solution when JavaScript is available. Instead of using
onclick on the table row you'd need to replace each checkbox with a
link - as links are keyboard accessible.

Form elements are more than meets the eye - they are interactive elements.
