[css-d] How do I restrict a display:table element in height?
.fix {
display:table;
background: red;
}
div class=fix
divlorem/div
divipsum/div
/div
Let's say I need a height of 1em and overflow:hidden/auto (and an
additional wrapper is not an option).
But 'height' is treated as a minimum height in the table model, and
'table-layout' controls the horizontal layout only.
So it's not possible?

Hi Jim,
The css-cascade in the essential part you want to influence is:
= = = = =
ul
li class=collapseda href=link1span class=lw1Dance/span/a/li
li class=leafa href=link2span class=lw1Drama/span/a/li
li class=leafa href=link3span class=lw1Music/span/a/li

New Acting Company/span/a/li
/ul
/li
li class=collapseda href=link8span class=lw1Visual
Arts/span/a/li
/ul
= = = = =
So written, it will be easy to see:
If the class=collected, and the span class=lw1, then then right style is ...
If the class=expanded, and the span class=lw1, then then right style is ...
If the class=expanded, and the span class=lw1, but you are in the subitems
with class=leaf, then then right style is ...
[...]
Therefore:
.collapsed .lw1 {border: 1px solid red;}
.expanded .lw1 {border: 1px solid green;}
.expanded .leaf .lw1 {border: 1px solid yellow;}
[...]
might be helpfull. Quick see what happens? Use the Chris Pederick's Firefox
Developers Extention, go to the css-button and hit Edit css. Then just add
these 3 lines.
With this instant cooking you can tackle lots of problems in less time then
needed for writing down this! ;-)

for us to debug a live page. (Firefox's WebDeveloper extension is a

need to absolutely position the a elements rather than floating them.

[css-d] staggering/vertical offset of floated a blocks in IE
I've run into this before. I think I've fixed it before, but I can't
remember, and I apparently can't think of the right search terms to
find out if anyone else has solved this problem. I can't post anything
live, but here is the HTML and CSS I'm using.
Basically, I have two floated block links, with backgrounds, and spans
that are also display block (because of graphic requirements). I want
to float them alongside each other at the same horizontal level.
But, the second box is dropping down (in IE) the height of the default
browser font (as in, if I change the font size up or down, the
vertical offset changes slightly).
Like this:
-- --16px or whatever the default font size is
||--
--||

There's plenty of horizontal space for the floats. What's going on?

[css-d] Vertically centering (again!) text and image relative to each (not just within container)
Hey, I'm after a simple way to get the equivalent of table height=200px tr td valign=centertext thats 10px height/td td valign=centerimg src=graphics/image_20px_high.png //td /tr /table I'm aware that I can use the line-height CSS property center the line object in the container, as so: div style=height: 200px; font-size: 10px; line-height: 200px text thats 10px height img src=graphics/image_20px_high.png / /div And that will successfully vertically align both the txt and image within the DIV. However what it doesn't do is vertically align each, individually. So the text and the image share the same baseline meaning the large image pops up above the text (rather than the text appearing as if it were on a horizontal line through the middle of the image).

position shows up in FF Mozilla as well. clearly i'm not understanding
the problem correctly. does the 'hack' only work on width?
No, but the voice-family hack only hides from IE 5.x. It doesn't hide
from FF, Mozilla, or anything other than IE 5.x. If you want only IE to
get the left value, this would work:
* html #nav {
left: 180px;
}
Be aware that this will also be seen by IE on the Mac, which I'm not
sure whether you want.
However, I think you have bigger problems going on here, and fixing
these will keep you from needing to feed IE a separate value. Here are
some steps to cleaning it up:
1. Add the olive green/brown background color to the body element.
2. Set the width of #frame to be whatever the width of the white area
is, and set its background color to be white.
3. Assure that #frame stretches down to fill the browser window:
http://www.sitepoint.com/forums/showpost.php?p=1243541postcount=8
4. Center #frame in the window using margin: 0 auto;
http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=CenteringBlockElement
5. Float the logo left, and if you want it to be overlapping the border
between the green and the white (which I think you do), give it a
negative left margin to pull it out of its parent div by the appropriate
amount.
...and that should get you started. As you go along, test in Firefox
and get it working there first. Then, test in IE. It's much easier to
hack IE to emulate correct behavior than it is to hack FF to emulate
buggy, non-sensical behavior.

[css-d] Problem with floating with absolute width and 100% width
Hello all, Recently I've been working on the accessibility of one of my websites (http://www.overhoorjesuf.nl/). I've been through the whole website with a blind internet user. Out of accessibility reasons its better to switch the menu and content in the source from place (#menu and #content). Now that doesn't seem to be a problem. But when I do that, the menu will get displayed underneath the content. Of course that doesn't really surprise me, because the width of #content has a width of 100% and the menu has a width of 182px. That just doesn't fit next to eachother when you float. Now what does surprise me is the fact that this worked when I had #menu above #content in my source. Now I already figured something out, but that brought another problem with it. I gave #menu the following rules in addition: position: absolute; top: 141px; Now this works perfectly. BUT... When my content div isn't high enough, this will make my menu go over my footer. I've been thinking for a while on this, but can't really find a fast solution to fix this problem. So, does someone have a solution for this? I've made a testpage in which I switched the menu and the content, you can find it on: http://curunir.nl/OHJS/template.php.

[css-d] Image -- text -- image
I want to put text between two images, . div id=wrapper img src=. width= Some kind of text herebr with a a href= too img src=. width= /div I would like it to be fluid so that spacing happens by default and the entire thing is already in my main content div set. It would be best if wrapper were set to something like 80% or if necessary I can set it to a fixed px size, each image has a width and height of 125, it would be really great if the text was centered up and down and side to side between the images. Can someone help me on this, 3 1/2 hours working on it alone is long enough. I'm trying hard not to use any tables, which would make this very easy.

[css-d] Safari Empty Cache redraw problem
I work on Mac, Safari 2.0.2, and frequently have to Empty Cache in order to load new CSS files etc while testing. Recently I've noticed that one of my sites, http://www.wildscaping.com, doesn't draw properly if I go to it directly after emptying the cache. All you see is the Footer at the top of the contents area; the main contents box is not drawn. Today it's even weirder, with the Contents text drawing one word on each line down the page. When I go to another main tab, and than back to Home tab, the home page draws fine. Does this sound familiar to anyone? Is there a reason for it? What I'm really nervous about, of course, is does anyone elso see a blank page when they visit http://www.wildscaping.com AFTER emptying their cache? thanks Trish -- -- Trish Meyer, Webmaster VIVA Gallery The Valley Institute of Visual Arts http://www.vivagallery.org Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] __ 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 Float Bug
I'm using a floated horizontal list based on one of the ones on
listmatic and everything working great IE6 and FireFox. Safari is
putting a break before the list item with the combo box. I've found
that if I hardcode a width in #navlist or take out the float that works
around it, but I don't like this idea. It should auto-size nicely.
I've tracked it down and when I remove this image (img alt=
border=0 src=http://ak.imgfarm.com/ex/my/exHaveMail.gif;), Safari
works properly again. Floating the image left puts it in the wrong
spot. Any workarounds? Code below.
Thanks.

[css-d] Mac IE huge whitespace above content
Hello When the following url http://www.learnz.org.nz/aoraki61/bg/aoraki-mt-cook-national-park.php is displayed in IE 5.2 on Mac OS X (and maybe OS9), there is half a screen high of white space above the main content. The page displays fine on almost every other platform and browser combination. The stylesheet is at: http://www.learnz.org.nz/aoraki61/fieldtrip.css The content is in a div called #content. Any thoughts? It's got me beat at the moment!

[css-d] IE positioning problem
Hello all - wondering if someone has a cure for this IE dilemma. (working with this chat skin that is built in css) if you look at this in firefox http://constructweb.com/temp/test-out-alt.html the time stamp stays within the boudries of the containing box if you look at IE it does not - is it because IE has a problem with right: 4px; (absolute positioning right)? I have gone over this for a while - anybody able to let me know what the problem is? thank you Neal Watkins www.constructweb.com __ 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] interesting google insight
Greetings All I recently completed a site for a client, www.oxfordprice.com, and was contacted by him today regarding his positioning on Google. Here is what was said: 'I spoke with the people at google today and they gave me insight to why I'm not showing up on the results. It's the page layout. The data/text cannot be read. it has something to do with the borders and the parameter of the page. They said just to make it regular.' This caught me by total surprise as I was under the impression that going the standards route would actually aid in getting you better placement due to the proper use of the h tags, paragraphs, lists etc. Can someone please have a look at the site/page as mentioned above and give me some insight into this matter. One thing that I have picked up upon re-validating the code is that whomever added the META tags did not terminate them properly. I am hoping that this is actually the cause and not what is stated by the people from Google.

Re: [css-d] interesting google insight
One thing that I have picked up upon re-validating the code is that whomever added the META tags did not terminate them properly. I am hoping that this is actually the cause and not what is stated by the people from Google. Schalk Firstly there are still 14 Mark up errors in your script - all in the headers. eg META in line 13 should read meta. All end tags in the header should be thus: / Secondly, the site needs much more optimisation for the search engines. I have only looked at two pages but only the home page has any description/keywords and the title osn't really appropriate. I am not going into any more detail on list as it would be seriously off topic. As for the rest of site, I cannot see it being the CSS that is the problem. If you wish any assistance on above reply off list. Cheers Ian IY e-Solutions -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
