Those buggy browsers ;-)

Change width on 'div#Header ul#Navigation li' from percent to 100px, and
it will work in Firefox too.

BTW: you use XML syntax in there. That requires an XML declaration,
according to HTML Tidy.

...should do fine on top.

Otherwise quite nice and well-working "garbage" IMO :-)

As usual, a quick copy paste in SelectOracle would explain the selector

Selects any element  that is a descendant of a form element  that is a 
descendant of any element with an id attribute that equals 
searchBox.

Sorry, I do not have time to look things over... but, I would suggest  
you check these sites:

http://css.maxdesign.com.au/listamatic/
http://www.l-c-n.com/IE5tests/phantom-links/
http://www.cssplay.co.uk/menus/index.html
http://www.pmob.co.uk/
http://www.alvit.de/handbook/

And do not forget to validate:

http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.epiphanize.com%2F

http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator? 
uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.epiphanize.com%2FApp_Themes%2FDefault%2FDefault.css 
&usermedium=all

You might have better luck finding some code via listamatic and  
tweaking that code to suit your needs instead.

Other than that, I am sure one of the CSS gurus on this list will give  
you the answers you need.

Good luck,

Example page?

Maybe try using units instead of keywords:

background: url(assets/bottom_image.gif) no-repeat scroll 100% 50%;

Prob wont help, but worth a try... Post a link if you can.

Re: [css-d] Eureka!

2005-11-04 Thread Graham Cook
Hi Angela,

Sorry to tell you this but you still have a few problems in IE. I am finding
that on mouseover the highlighting of the parent item (eg who what etc) is
slow to display, and more importantly, when moving my cursor up to the
submenu item, if I do not move the cursor across the white line border the
submenu closes. The situation worsens if I wait for the parent menu to
highlight, then this problem sometimes also occurs regardless of where in
the submenu the cursor goes.

If you need further explanation I could possibly create a small screen
capture and send it to you off list.

I notice that when I use the style:

body {
background-image: url(assets/bottom_image.gif);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: bottom center;
}

It is rendered differently in different browsers.

Safari puts it at the bottom where it is supposed to be.
Firefox puts it about 15% down the page from the top.
Internet Explorer sort of tiles it, but in some kind of messed up up  
way sarting about half-way down the page and creating overlapping tiles.

What's up.  All the resources I've read indicate that all current

I checked it yesterday as well (Firefox 1.0.x on Linux) and repeatedly 
failed to
reproduce the error. Maybe it is good news nonetheless. The error 
appears not to
affect all. Have you tried similar tests with Firefox on other 
machines? If not,
that would be my suggestions.

Here is a real quick mockup I did for you:

http://www.ambiguism.com/CSSD/steedman/

Obviously the logo should be replaced... It is not a perfect layout, 
but it should get you going in right direction. I ended up using 
padding to align the elements... There may, and probably is, a better 
way... I am sure there is a good hack for vertical-alignment... 
although:

OT?

Yeah, sure, you make a good point. I could go either way, it really 
depends on the design for me. I was just trying to make suggestions 
that would make it easier on you.

>

Again, I slapped that layout together very fast, so not bug tested, and 
probably could be done way better, but for now it should get you going 
in right direction.

UDM4 is not free - unless one tries to bypass the licensing. That 
said, the scripts that Angela is using are from our free extensions. 
We have no way to control how a user deploys those scripts - they are 
not a menu system, simply a behavior deployed from within a UI in 
Dreamweaver.

That said, if one were to purchase a license for a commercial menu 
extension from us, it would have more automation features and failsafe 
mechanisms to enable even beginners to have a shot at integrating it 
into a standards-compliant and even an accessible web page. That said, 
a "dropup" would be possible, though we do not recommend it:

I don't begrudge the suggestion :-) Many scripts are made by amateurs 
with explicit instructions for deploying them in very bad ways. 
Fortunately, that's not our style.

Re: [css-d] I want to scream

2005-11-04 Thread Angela Trigg
<>

Well, my popups are gone again in IE so you can't see, but that's the value
I arrived at for IE/WIN so that it was the right width and its right edge
lined up with the rollover highlight

Don't think the clients will be happy (they're architects and very finicky
about things lining up) if I make the width fluid for the popups, unless
there's a way for it to be the width it needs to be but expand if they've
enlarged the text... 

Specs for this are IE 5+ and NN6+ so luckily I don't have to worry about NN4

<> Yep,
so am wondering if I should just wait until everyone (browsers) learns to
play better :-)

One thing that doesn't make sense to me with the NN7 problem is that
absolute divs are supposed to be absolute in relation to its parent, if the
parent has a position other than static, right? So is it a bug in NN7 that
it's ignoring that?

Here's the relevant code:

#menulist {
height: 63px; 
margin: 0px; 
padding: 0px; 
border-top: 1px solid #A30404; 
border-bottom: 1px solid #A30404;
float: left;
position:relative; 
top: 457px;  
width: 908px;
}
#menulist .mainnav {
height: 63px; 
visibility: visible;
position: absolute; 
float: left;
display: inline;
width: 125px; 
z-index:1; 
padding: 0px; 
margin:0px;
filter:alpha(opacity=80); 
-moz-opacity:.80; 
opacity:.80;  
background-repeat:no-repeat;

}

For which .mainnav is dynamically assigned a left attribute ranging from 0
to whatever depending on which menu item it is So the parent is
"positioned" but .mainnav is ignoring that and making left:0 start from the
browser edge instead of menulist container's edge in NN7 only (okay in IE
and Firefox).

I think you just gave yourself all reasons needed to perfect your CSS-skills
- regardless of bad browsers.

All those "hours invested in CSS-design" isn't much compared to years in
table-based design, so you just have to keep at it - or stop right there.
Some of us have invested years in CSS-design, and are slowly arriving at the
point where we can leave the bugs for the browser-developers to fix.

Tables are self-adjusting by default and will cover up for many mistakes.
That's one reason many table-old-timers prefer tables.
CSS-layouts will also self-adjust by default, but you haven't given yours
much of a chance to adjust anything to anything with fixed dimensions and
font-sizes.

The menu pop-ups are even breaking (overlapping text) in Firefox at
'min-font-size: 14px', and that's because nothing is allowed to expand in a
standard-compliant browser. IE6 saves that part of the layout by its
non-standard "expand everything no matter what" behavior.

So the choice shouldn't be between tables or CSS, but whether you want a
"fixed" layout (that you can't expect to hold), or an "adjustable"
layout that can survive on the web.

How many, and which, old browser-versions you would like to - or have to
- support, is also an important question. Old versions of any browser will
have weaknesses - that's why they keep on developing new versions all the
time. Browsers have had more than 10 years to include support for tables
(although most of them are still quite buggy). Good CSS support is just
beginning to spread across browser-land.


BTW: I couldn't quite make out this value in your styles:
width: 101.5px;
Care to explain?

Georg

Very well put, Tony.  Thinking semanticly is a tough hurdle for many, 
although in retrospect it seems so obvious.  Furthermore, those who 
were trained in the print world have an additional obstacle, it is 
very much the difference between watercolors and oil; as similar as 
they look, they are strikingly different media.

A book that  really helped me was "Bulletproof Web Design", by Dan 
Cederholm.  I've also started developing in Firefox, and then testing 
in IE, since IE is too forgiving of errors.  Firefox has some great 
extensions.  I love its integration with the CSE Source Validator, 
and have found the "view formatted source" module invaluable, since 
it points out the various levels of inheritance.  The "web developer" 
extensions allow you to outline block and table elements.

I develop under Windows, and recommend the Top Style CSS editor for 
improved productivity.

Another good book is the one about Zen Garden, where they deconstruct 
some of their style designs.  It has lots of useful tips, and helps 
demystify much of CSS.

Good luck, you're going to love CSS.  And remember, in cyberspace 
nobody can hear you scream.

CSS design does take time, because you aren't learning a new form of
table design, but rather a completely new methodology altogether. I'm
sorry that browsers have to be so lousy when it comes to support, but
usually the way to deal with this is to stick to simple things that
work in all browsers, or code in fallbacks for the ones that don't
play along. I recommend that after this job for this client you
practice designing some websites in your spare time to learn the
techniques without the pressure. Just imagine, when you get CSS and
XHTML design down right, you'll be building sites so much faster, and
for the same price!

I think you just gave yourself all reasons needed to perfect your
CSS-skills - regardless of bad browsers.

All those "hours invested in CSS-design" isn't much compared to years in
table-based design, so you just have to keep at it - or stop right
there. Some of us have invested years in CSS-design, and are slowly
arriving at the point where we can leave the bugs for the
browser-developers to fix.

Tables are self-adjusting by default and will cover up for many
mistakes. That's one reason many table-old-timers prefer tables.
CSS-layouts will also self-adjust by default, but you haven't given
yours much of a chance to adjust anything to anything with fixed
dimensions and font-sizes.

The menu pop-ups are even breaking (overlapping text) in Firefox at
'min-font-size: 14px', and that's because nothing is allowed to expand
in a standard-compliant browser. IE6 saves that part of the layout by
its non-standard "expand everything no matter what" behavior.

So the choice shouldn't be between tables or CSS, but whether you want a
"fixed" layout (that you can't expect to hold), or an "adjustable"
layout that can survive on the web.

How many, and which, old browser-versions you would like to - or have to
- support, is also an important question. Old versions of any browser
will have weaknesses - that's why they keep on developing new versions
all the time. Browsers have had more than 10 years to include support
for tables (although most of them are still quite buggy). Good CSS
support is just beginning to spread across browser-land.


BTW: I couldn't quite make out this value in your styles:
width: 101.5px;
Care to explain?

Georg

I don't think the issue is P7, I think it has to do with my nested divs and
my lack of skill on using positions I was keeping those main navs to not
be absolute since they're generated dynamically, so just now I added some
code to dynamically change the left: value by adding a width on each loop
(luckily each image is the same size)--- Now it works in NN7 in that the
menus are popping up right above, but now that whole "row" is on the extreme

I say "[I am] not sure what else I can offer you" in my previous response
because working with CSS and popup menus (speaking from
experience) is a bitch (esp. when javascript is involved).

An alternative would be to feed netscape something watered-down... you know,
like a menu that has all of the popups expanded, or an alternative layout
that is not as complex and coded in a way that is not problematic. Attacking
your problem in this way may save you a ton of headaches.

If you are using PVII scripts/code, have you checked the
www.projectseven.com support forums?

eventually you'll discover the power of CSS - to take semantic (x)html and
lay it out one way or another in minutes, to make a minor change across the
whole site in seconds, to get faster downloading pages and better search
engine results and greater and wider accessibility.

but first you have to start *designing* with CSS in mind, rather than from a
tables viewpoint.

I liken the transition to CSS as how a watercolorist would find painting
with oils for the first time - nothing is the same, although the end result
looks similar, the techniques, the brush strokes, the way the colors are
mixed up - everything is different, but once you understand the differences
between the media then the most fantastic vivid results are attained.

it's the same with CSS - the first few site builds are the hardest, that's
when you learn the basic techniques - when to float ,when to use absolute
positioning, how and when to mix background and inline images, how to get
minimum height, when to use padding and when to avoid it and so on.

eventually you'll have your "stock" solutions to any visual design and you
start thinking CSS from the first time you see the visual...

it's a learning curve, it can be steep, but the speed of build and ease of
change make it all worth while once you've mastered it.

Thanks for the Mac shots Micky!

I was a bit vague as to where the border is.  There is a 2-3px wide
white border between the left and right columns in IE 6 on Windows.

The  tag is there because this is an asp.net application which
require forms for server-side interaction.

Thanks for the suggestions, but I'm not really sure that it addresses 
the problem of trying to get all the elements to align along a single 
horizontal axis.
See: http://test.hinshawdesign.com/css/slpl/cluster_masthead_v3.html
Now it no longer renders correctly in FF.
I may have possibly misunderstood your direction...

As to the idea of using a background image for the logo, I know this is 
a bit OT, but would you suggest that a logo is not content? Especially 
in the case of a type-based one, I would think it would be.

Thanks,

some screens from the Mac world:

Safari:
http://www.ambiguism.com/CSSD/sharemycodeSafari.jpg

IE5.2:
http://www.ambiguism.com/CSSD/sharemycodeIEMac.jpg

Firefox:
http://www.ambiguism.com/CSSD/sharemycodeFFMac.jpg

I do notice that you wrapped a form around your content... not sure 
why... but, you might want to zero out your margins:

form {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}

I ussually do this for my sites:

* html {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}

And then I add padding or margin as needed.

HTH,

[css-d] I want to scream

2005-11-04 Thread Angela Trigg
Been developing in Firefox like a good little CSS newbie, and am making the
tweaks necessary to make it work in IE6/WIN (which feels like trying to put
a rubix cube together). I felt like I was so close, until I just took a look
at it in Netscape 7! I feel like throwing the towel in and going back to
tables--- seriously-- I can code sites so fast that way because I've been
doing it for so many years, can someone give me a reason to stick it out
given all the hacks you have to do, etc? I hate to have to go back because
I've invested hours and hours and hours into trying to get this to work
using just CSS.

I would highly suggest that you use a label for your text field... any 
reason why you are using an image? The "search.gif" looks like regular 
web text... I would use CSS to style the label... Here is some code I 
use for one of my sites:

#yourDiv label {
font: normal .8em Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
color: #666;
text-align: right;
padding: 0 1em;
width: 175px; /* Use to move most form content left/right on 
page. */
float: left;
clear: left;
}
/* Set the width for 'input' elements: */
#yourDiv input {
color: #333;
border: 1px solid #555;
border-bottom: 1px solid #ccc;
border-right: 1px solid #ccc;
padding: 1px;
width: 150px;
}


Search: 

Also, I would make your logo a background image rather than a 
transparent gif. Makes things a bit more simple.

Hopefully the above css does not confuse you... You may even be able to 
get away with something as simple as:

#yourDiv label {
font-size: 10px;
color: #333;
}
#yourDiv input {
width: 125px; /* Width of input items in #yourDiv */
border: 1px solid #999;
border-bottom: 1px solid #333;
border-right: 1px solid #333;
}

Hth,
Micky

[css-d] Drop down Menus

2005-11-04 Thread Kevin O'Boyle
I rolled my own CSS drop down menus; I really wanted to steal someone 
else's work but I couldn't follow the CSS logic of the tutorials I 
found and none of the freely available CSS drop drop down menus I found 
did what I wanted; My needs are simple:

* I have a Menubar background graphic that spans the top of the page 
(with end caps)

* I want the menu items evenly distributed across the Menubar (there's 
plenty of room)

* Menubar items (the top level) are graphics with mouseover, and 
mousedown states (I'm managing the states through a JavaScript but 
would love to be able to do it through pure CSS -- there are reasons I 
couldn't which I'll outline below)

• Some menu items have a small icon (that changes on mouseover) to 
their right corresponding to where the link would take a user (I'm just 
using an  tag inside the  tag with no special CSS and 
javaScript for the mouse events; this seems to work but, again, I'd 
rather get rid of the JavaScript)

• Some menus have sub menus and thus have disclosure arrows on the 
right side of the menu (I tried accomplishing this the same way as 
above with two ugly results: 1) the arrows are not right justified and, 
while they otherwise look fine in Camino, 2) in Firefox and Safari the 
arrow art extends outside the "block" of the menu item.

I have to confess that I still feel very lost in the woods with CSS; 
I'm a solid programer but this just seems amazingly arcane to me and 
I'm flying blind.  My menus have numerous problems: if I set the  
display property to block my background image disappears to the right 
and left of my top level menubar graphic, without block the sub menu 
"looks" fine but only hilites when the link is moused over (which is 
counter intuitive).  Right now I've banged my head on this that I don't 
care so much how clunky my code is so long as I have something 
Deliverable. I'm reluctant to share my cluttered foggy minded CSS but I 
will on the hope that someone might help me out.

Alternately, If there is some CSS source out there that I can tweak 
into line for my purposes, I'd be very grateful.

My source

#menu {white-space: nowrap; width: 100%; float: left; }
#menu ul { line-height: 17px; list-style: none; margin: 0; padding: 0; 
width: 100%; float: inherit; }

border-width: 0; outline-style: 
none;rl(../../Computrain/graphics/menubar.gif)
}
#menu a:hover { color: white; font-style: inherit; background: #008750;

[css-d] vertical alignment of text fields with other elements - I'm stuck!

2005-11-04 Thread Don Hinshaw
Hi list,
I am trying to vertically align a text field with two adjacent elements: 
a graphic label and a graphic button.
The working page is here: 
http://test.hinshawdesign.com/css/slpl/cluster_masthead_v2.html
Here is what it should look like: 
http://test.hinshawdesign.com/css/slpl/masthead_sample.jpg

Here are the problems that I have seen so far:
1. Safari: the text field is dropping down so it is partially outside 
the green area
2. IE6/ Win 2K: The green box is expanding vertically to become too tall
3. Opera 8.5/Win2K: the three elements are all dropping down in the box 
so they are no longer aligned with the words "Steedman Exhibit"


It looks fine to me on FF, and surprisingly also on IE/Mac

Any suggestions gratefully accepted!

Thanks,
Don Hinshaw

Readable at font-size 24px minimum in FF.
h1 could use some air around it , and the h-nav seems 
squeezed.vertically. The pale orange and pale blue for the menu is 
difficult to read,  and the flyouts are hard to hold. Feeding IE min 
width via 'expressions' would be a nice touch. Rail to rail at 1280(and 
up) with mouse type is impossible...

[css-d] Using background-image PNGs in IE

2005-11-04 Thread Christopher Brown
Hi --

Has anyone heard of a method for using a PNG as a background-image
that'll work in IE?  I know the MS filter to use:

style="filter:progid:DxImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader(src='im
age.png',sizingMethod='scale');"

I'd like to somehow shoehorn it into an ID or class:

div#image {background-image: url("../images/image.png");}

Does anyone know if this is this even possible without using script?
I'm tired of waiting for IE7 to come out.

Thanks!

I am on a mac, and the menu seems to work ok With that said, it 
would be hard for me to test code... Anyway, here is a bit of code I 
use for a horizontal drop-down menu (based on Suckerfish):

#mainMenu li ul {
text-transform: none;
display: none;
position: absolute;
top: 100%;
left: 0;
z-index: 100;
}
#mainMenu li>ul { /* to override top and left in browsers other than 
IE, which will position to the top right of the containing li, rather 
than bottom left */
/*top: auto;*/
left: auto;
}

The above css is for the drop-down part of the menu... I am guessing 
reversing the values to make it pop-up and incorporating it into your 
css may help you squash you IE probs.


Here are some screen grabs from the Mac world:

All three menu examples align left on IE/Mac5.2.

You might want to look into styling a definition list.

Some links that may (or may not) help:

http://www.scottmcdaniel.com/?p=33

http://aerie.chirp.com.au/css/format-dl/

http://archivist.incutio.com/viewlist/css-discuss/21106

Using styling from example #2 via second link found above, what I might 
try is:


   TitleSubtitle
   DateLink
   TitleSubtitle
   DateLink
   TitleSubtitle
   DateLink
   TitleSubtitle
   DateLink


Above not tested, but I think if styled right, you would achieve the 
results you are looking for.

Spencer-

I should think this would be no different than creating any other sort of
nav bar. You should take a peek at Listamatic [1] for various ways to style
lists as menu/nav systems using CSS.

If you have more specific questions or concerns, feel free to post them to
the list, preferably with an example URL if you have one.

Hope that helps.

Ron

[css-d] Header's inline display and alignment

2005-11-04 Thread Adriano Castro

 Hi,

 I want to have, aligned to the left, a title followed by a
sub-title. Then, on the same line as the sub-title, I want to have,
aligned to the right, a date. Lastly on the next line, also aligned to
the right a link.

 Something under these lines:

Title
Subtitle   date
   link

 In order to do so here's what I have so far.

## MARKUP

 
 Title
 Subtitle
 2005.07
 link
 


## CSS

 div.main-right {
 position: absolute;
 top: 0px;
 left: 185px;
 width: 393px;
 height: 269px;
 margin: 15px 0px 0px 24px;
 padding: 0px;
 }

 div.main-right h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 {
 margin: 0px;
 padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;
 }


 div.main-right h1 {
 text-align: left;
 }

 div.main-right h2 {
 display: inline;
 text-align: left;
 }

 div.main-right h5 {
 display: inline;
 text-align: right;
 }

 div.main-right h6 {
 text-align: right;
 }

 All works fine except for H5 that isn't aligning to the right.
Instead it render's immediately after H2.

 Thank you.

[css-d] Wierd color display IE/Firefox

2005-11-04 Thread Andreas Håkansson
Hi

 

I’m trying to extend a gradient background infinite by docking the
background at the top of a div and

also supply a background color (the same color found at the bottom of my
gradient). However when

I do this, Internet Explorer shows a different saturation of the color, but
it looks just fine in Firefox.

 

http://www.selfinflicted.org/css/columns_gradient.html

 

this is so weird. At first I thought “maybe this has to do with web safe
colors”, but I thought there isn’t

a need for those anymore? I this yet another Internet Explorer anomaly? If
so is there a work around? I

know I can extend my background image, let’s say to 2000px high, but to
reduce file size I’d rather use

a background color & image combination. 

 

Any ideas?

Unfortunately, it doesn't work, because even with the nowrap the text 
still gets tall enough to show through the transparent part of the image 
at the bottom.

[css-d] Multiple select width adapted if within a table (only FF)

Consider the following simple form:

if you change the  content, the width of the select box is also changed!

This doesn't happen if you put the  outside the table, and
only happens in Firefox, while IE and Opera work fine.

Any quick-hack idea?

Zoe,
Do you /really/ need  " to create 
this nav bar in CSS." Or do you 
need to get people from 'here' to 'there' and 'back.'
If the latter, some of us have seen enough tabs, rounded corners, and IR 
to last a lifetime. If not longer.

http://bluelink.net

Scroll to the bottom (using FireFox) to see the following "bug":
http://bluelink.net/michel/screenshots/20051104_bluelink_ff_scroller_problem.jpg

You can see the scroller ("pages 1, 2, 3, ... NEXT") to overlap the last news 
items in the page.

*IF* you reload the page (just hit F5 to see), the problem DISAPPERS.

Load it again (close browser, re-open), and here's the problem again...

I suppose, it's *NOT* a bug, but a mistake in my CSS code (to be more correct, 
a 
mistake in the code of the developer /before me/, who created the current 
html+css re-design...

Anyway...

I am stuck... I do not understand, why this DIV with the page numbers in it 
OVERLAPS the last news item...

The css is at http://bluelink.net/master.css.

All of the NEWS divs (which the scroller overlaps) are FLOATED, so to contain 
the image in them without a following clear (when a small image is present in 
the news div.)

Any ideas welcome...

Hmm, I'll think about this.  Of course, this would kind of defeat the 
purpose of letting the text show with images off, since the text would 
be cut off, which is only marginally better than no text at all (as you 
get with some IR techniques I am avoiding).  But then again all the IR 
techniques that leave the text when you have images off suffer from this 
same problem because you cut the text off with overflow: hidden.  So 
this might be the lesser of many evils.

Thanks for the suggestion John.

No, I don't want to create scalable tabs -- heresy I know, but tabs that 
wrap just look horrible, IMO.  I will happily let any other type of nav 
bar wrap, but not tabs.  I just want to use regular old images.  Unless 
someone can make a really good case for how to let this particular nav 
bar wrap gracefully (it's not a very CSS-friendly design, I know).

By the way, Thierry, I like your image replacement technique, and I made 
a page with it before I realized that I couldn't use it due to the 
transparent parts of my images letting text peek through.  It's here if 
you want to see it:

user agent, with the exception of IE, sees them as regular, valid comments.

So, I could also write something like this:



And that's a valid form for an HTML comment to take.  It's just 
nonsensical.  Run it through the validator and see for yourself:

I'm not talking about whether it's "valid" for IE to parse these 
comments.  That's a theoretical issue that is irrelevant, because IE's 
doing it whether it's "right" or not.  I'm talking about whether they 
are valid HTML.  They are.  You can write comments that have bracketed 
text in them -- that's all conditional comments are.

You could use real text with white-space:nowrap.  This would then solve your
problems with option 3.

If you are creating the pages dynamically you could even consider providing
more than one option, ie browser sniffing.

HTH.

width: auto

... which is the default.

(Assuming you aren't altering the way the div displays)

Re: [css-d] Horizontal layout

2005-11-04 Thread Jacqueline F
Hi Andras,

Not sure if it will help. This site has lotsa bells and whistles. But I
think his solution might help you:

http://www.ciaosexy.com/

Then not sure I completely understand what you mean about 'root'; but think
about the root div as the container for your other content elements. So if
you have 4 projects that you are featuring; you'd use those boxes, set a
with fixed width, to push your parent box wider.

Hope that helps
Cheers
Jacqueline
