[css-d] Is this IE 3-pixel bug?
On my home page (www.leschambres.co.za/) towards the bottom of the page there
is a section titled Franschhoek, Franschoek or Franshoek? with a green
background. This is the #spellings div.
In IE, look at the left of this div and you will see what appears to be a 3px
gap. I've got a cc that tries to address this, but it's still there.
!--[if lte IE 6]
style type=text/css
#spellings {margin-left: -3px;}
/style
![endif]--
Adjusting this negative margin simply pulls the div away from the right side,
without closing the gap. Removing the cc results in (what seems like) a 6px gap.
Anyone help?
Thanks,
Bill

[css-d] CSS Navigation Bar recomendations?
Hello all, I am looking to create a navigation bar for the header of my vBulletin driven website. Rather then using tables, I thinking of doing it with CSS. I already have the title and subtitle placed with CSS, but I am out of my depth with horizontal nav bars. Horizontal leyout, hover effects and drop down menus are preferred, but not necessary. Graphics are ok. Any tutorial websites or recommendations? Thanks!

Yes, its the 3px bug, but it does affect more than just the #spellings
content.
The 3px bug is a hardwired IE property of floats, affecting the
content of adjacent elements. As there is no way to stop it from doing
so, the fix is to make room between the float and the affected element
[1].
So you have a /right/ float #container, therefore, you'll have to make
room on its /left/ side.
Actually, you are fixing it on the wrong side (to prevent the sidebar
from dropping down below the float), I've commented it out here:
!--[if lte IE 6]
style type=text/css
/* wrong side
#container {margin-right: -3px;}
#sidebar {margin-right: 0;}
#spellings {margin-left: -3px;}
*/
/* fix */
#container {margin-left: -3px;}
/style

[css-d] workarounds and ideas for avoiding fixed-width design?
Hi all, On my personal site - http://jayloden.com - I've got an image banner across the top. My problem is pretty simple; I want to avoid having a fixed width design (i.e. setting the page max-width to the width of the banner image), but still keep an attractive layout. At the moment, what I'm doing is simply centering the banner image, so that if you have a browser window wider than a fullscreen 1024x768, it just expands to the full width with the banner image centered across the top. On the plus side, I avoid annoying people like myself that run on high resolution displays, but I really don't like the way it looks (solid background colors on either side of the image). The image I'm using isn't particulary easy to repeat or stretch, either. I was hoping someone on the list would have some insight into how I can make my site banner more attractive on a large display (it's fine on anything 1024 and below) without having to resort to a fixed width. I'm open to all sorts of suggestions, so suggest away!

I don't want to delve too deeply into theoretical matters, but the answer is that vendor prefixes are the best way to do test implementations of properties in Working Drafts. That way, if the behavior changes before the WD goes to full recommendation status, it's easy to change along with it and not appear to break a non-proprietary property. This has already happened: 'opacity' changed the values it could accept from one WD to another. Thus, '-moz-opacity' was changed along with it. When 'opacity' becomes part of a full Recommendation, then Gecko can have full 'opacity' support right out of the gate. Until then, sticking with the vendor-prefixed version keeps authors on notice that it's a potentially changeable thing, and prevents any but we have customers! blockage.

I also just work pro-bono for non-profits. But I've received much help from this list will try to give back a little. This looks ok in win ie6 and firefox 1.7, but I'm sure it stinks in ie5 5.5 and who knows about Mac. Actually there is more work to do within the browsers you have available. I see you are targeting 800px window/viewport width. To avoid horizontal scroll bars on 800px viewports you need to set overall width to less. Many use 770px. I believe 748 is safe for most common browsers. Then play with font sizing. You fall victim to an IE misbehavior where extreme font changes result because you used 1em as the body default. Not that 1em isn't good -- these tired old eyes wish more folks start with that. Use percentage instead (only here, em's work fine after that). I use 100.01% and can't remember the exact reason for the fraction. I believe to work around an earlier Opera problem ... I can't figure out if and when and how to use what hack. You're doing the right thing to avoid hacks. Use them only when you have to. You asked us to be kind, so I'll only kindly offer that I was disappointed to see all the table tags. smile - Pat - http://xps.org/ and http://mhcug.org/ __ 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] Can I make my link attributes differ by table?
I'm very new to CSS, and have been toying with the look and feel of my poker forum. One problem I have run into is when users post articles with links within the article, the link color is too light for the white background of the article text. I was wondering if I could set the link attributes separately for links contained within a specific table. I tried a few things, but with my limited knowledge, all I did was make a mess. For the moment, I am just using a background on my links but it looks terrible in the context of the articles. I tried doing a google on this, but came up empty.

[css-d] Horizontal navigation problem - forefox.
Hi, I'm having problems with another horizonal navigation which I'm hoping someone can help me with. http://www.aycee.co.uk/x_temp/test.html (http://www.aycee.co.uk/x_temp/test.css) looks exactly how I want it to in IE but looks completely different in Firefox. Does anyone have any ideas how I can fix it so it looks the same in both? It seems that Firefox is not recognising the widths and heights of li's or a's and I've tried using padding but to no avail. Any suggestions would be very greatfully received. Thanks, Ali :o) ...

Certainly. Give your specific table an ID attribute, and then just use:
#tableID a:link {color: myColor;}
#tableID a:visited {color: myOtherColor;}
If that doesn't work for some reason, post the URL to the forum and
we can take a closer look to see if something is interfering.

Gecko doesn't like width on in-line elements apparently (too lazy to
look at the spec), so taking a different route I tried this which seemed
to work:
#navigation li { width: 150px; float:left; text-align: center;
text-transform: lowercase; }/*float: left is new*/
#navigation li a { width: 100%; height: 40px; line-height: 40px; color:
#fff; border: 0; display:block } /*display:block is new*/

[css-d] Re: Bullets disappear on inline lists in IE
If nobody has a solution for this, does anyone know if there's a way I can get only IE to use a character or symbol for a bullet instead of the default types? Or is there a way I can make text appear before my list items but only in IE? Thanks, Carl On 10/21/05, Carl Youngblood [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have a problem.
