 If you hover over the i icon it pops up content but it is going behind the
 blue more bar, even though that bar has a zindex of 100 and the popup
 content (div id=info) has a zindex of 200 and both layers have a position
 declared. Any insights into what I'm doing wrong?


Angela,

currently, you have some stacking contexts:


r.p.1 #morelist z-index:100

   a.p.1 #layermore z-index:10


r.p.2 #icons z-index:1

   a.p.2 #info z-index:200


Hovering i in #icons pops #info up into view, but behind the blue 
#morelist bar.

This is because #info resides in the stacking context established by its 
z-indexed parent #icons, but regarding its z-index, #icons  #morelist.

In addition, your layout requires hovering more in #morelist pops up 
the images in #layermore, which renders over the #icons.

All you need is to give #layermore a z-index:

r.p.1 #morelist z-index:auto

   a.p.1 #layermore z-index:1


r.p.2 #icons z-index:auto

   a.p.2 #info z-index:auto


#morelist and #icons are sorted in document order. Both of them don't 
get a stacking context for their own, so

   #info will render above #morelist, and
   #layermore, due to its z-index, will render over #icons.

This works well in modern browsers.


A simplified test case [1] shows that IE gets it wrong.

IE establishes a new stacking context for each positioned element, rp1 
and rp2, which is /wrong/ , and David Hyatt explains why [2] (a series 
of z-index related tests can be found in [3]).

I don't have a solution for the IE problem. It's one or the other,
  rp1  rp2 or
  rp1  rp2

Being positioned means getting a stacking context in IE, therefore, all 
descendants of rpX will live within this context.

As far as I do understand the stacking problem in IE, ap1 cannot render 
over rp2 at the same time ap2 renders over rp1.

  Does CSS really suck for multi-column layout?

 No.

  O.K. I am having a problem here. We have three columns: right, same size
 all
  the time, center varies, left, may vary but probably the same size every
  time. So then comes the footer question. In our other sites we have
 table
  layouts that allow for the footer to stay at the bottom all the time,
 below
  all columns. But with this, what is the answer?
 
 HEADER
  ---
  FTCOLCTR   RTCOL
  ---
 FOOTER

 Enclose all three columns in a div, call this #container. Enclose
 #ftcol and #ctr in another div, call this #wrap. [1] Float #rtcol
 right and give #wrap a margin-right equal to the width of #rtcol. So
 we have a fixed right column and a remaining space the fills the rest
 of the screen to the left. Then float #ftcol left and give #ctr a
 margin-left equal to the width of #ftcol (same thing again), or float
 both of them left and give them percentage widths that add up to 100%.

 Before you close #wrap and #container, add br style=clear:both;.
 This ensures that the columns don't flow out of these divs, otherwise
 the divs will collapse and you'll be wondering where your background
 colors went. Then add clear:both; to #footer just for good measure.

 Then contact us again so we can help you with IE bugs.


yes, i am agree with your comments.
and dont forget to give position:relative to each boxs.
it will help to get your column equal on ie or firefox.

No.  Absolutely positioned elements take no space in the document

the same on all pages but you want the height to change depending on 
the user's font-size preferences, you can set its height in em and set

Obviously the simple solution is to reverse the source order, but I'm

[css-d] css scrollable tables..again

2006-01-27 Thread Riccardo Lora
Hi all,
past days i've working on so called css scrollable tables or tables
with fixed headers.
The examples/techniques i found here and, in generally, on the web
doesn't meet my expectations, so i  pick up some idea from them and i
started testing for another solutions.
(the main idea from i started off is best detailed here
http://cssplay.co.uk/menu/tablescroll.html).

In fact, the table i've made has not a fixed size, and it fills
entirely its container,
with first column taking all available space left by other
(fixed-width) columns.
And, since i've positioned the thead element with position:absolute,
removing them from
the flow, i get the column headers miss the alignment with the column bodies...
and that's the first problem.

Again, i've used em units to give the table an elastic design.  I
have set external div have a padding-top of 3 em, that's the desidered
height of thead element. Since the thead have two tr elements inside,
i have set each one height to 1.5 em. And here the drawback.. due to
em-to-px conversion, it seem that 1.5+1.5em is not equal to 3em.

It's seems to me CSS are not good enough to address this issues.. so i've
solved them using a bit of javascript (i know, it's not a really good
solution but)

Hi Gullaume.

The reason is wich content I want to appear first in the textual

important than div A, wich is also very important but for the layout 
only. So semantically speaking we would have to put div B first and div 
A next, and for layout purposes push this last one  up so it would  
appear first in the layout,. That's why imagined to use an absolute 
positioned element.




IMHO, if you put absolute position with B,
you can't place A below B.
  

I had doubts about it but it's pretty clear now.

Thank you for your answer

i think spans are the way to go for this situation, but i think you'll
find that naming your classes something meaningful (such as

color.

 Joe, in Debian FF1.0.7 @1400 the 3 sets of navigation links are too tiny 
 for me. On 2nd zoom click,  the header nav slips down-- on 3rd click it 
 disappears under the image; and all, or part of, the University logo 
 slips under the footer.  On the /speaker/ page, the content text slips 
 below the footer on zoom. Is the missing  footer border-bottom 
 intentional? The zoom situation is similar in Konqueror3.4. Of more 
 concern than Linux, perhaps, is that the header breaks at text-size 
 'largest' on all pages in IE6.0 SP1, XP SP2.
   

To follow David's comments, since the header bar is just a solid color, 
there's no reason why you can't remove its set height and allow the 
height of its content to dictate how tall it is. This will solve the 
problem of overlapping text.

In general, don't set fixed heights for elements which have text in 
them. Allow them to grow vertically so that various text sizes and 
amounts of content can be accommodated.

[css-d] Firefox and IE differences with coloured backgrounds

2006-01-27 Thread css
Hi there,

I'm new to the list, but I've not been able to find a reply to this
in Google (although it did direct me to this list, but I can't find
a reply here either) so I hope you can help. I'm sure this must have 
arisen before...

I've got two problems, a minor and a major, both with the same thing.

I have links which I want to appear as light blue text on dark
blue background, where the background is a bar that stretches to
the edge of the column (so the background for each is identically wide). 

I'm not sure I described that very well, but the demo is at:
http://www.wdam.co.uk/clients/CEP/new-website/demo.shtml

In IE this looks fine but in Firefox the dark blue background
stretches only as far as the end of each link word, so the edges
don't line up. Also, the margin above and below of 0.25em doesn't
show up. So my links look horrid in Firefox.

That's the major problem which I really want to fix asap.

The minor problem is that the links were showing up as blue (or
purple for visited) even though I had defined them to be the light
blue text colour in that class. Works fine when I add a style 
definition to the A HREF tag itself, so not a big issue - but 
surely I should be able to get this to work in my stylesheet?

Thanks for any help you can offer - and hi!

 I am using a list to layout three images horizontally along the bottom of

 set each li to width: 33%, (there are three images in this example) and
 then center the images with in each li through margin: 0 auto; and

Sounds like a good idea -- now can you tell us what your problem is? 
:-)  Not many of us are curious enough about other people's problems to 
recreate their page out of code provided, fire up browsers, compare 
different renderings, and finally discover what may be the mystery 
problem (or not, if the problem was in a browser the tester didn't have 
access to, or the tester misinterprets which of the renderings was the 
desired one and which was the buggy one).  If you can't provide us with 
a link to a live page, can you at least tell us what the problem is and 
what browsers you see it in?  That will make it much more likely that 
you will get help.

That being said, you are mixing a whole lot of different styles that are 
conflicting with each other.  See my annotations to your CSS below; 
perhaps it will fix your problem.  Please let us know if it does, and if 
it doesn't, let us know what rendering it does result in so we can go 
from there.

 Here is the basic markup and general styles:

 ul id=content-images
   liimg src=i/content-img-polar.jpg width=140 height=140 //li
   liimg src=i/content-img-boards.jpg width=140 height=140 //li
   liimg src=i/content-img-adidas.jpg width=140 height=140 //li
 /ul

 /* CSS */

 #content-images {

   text-align: center; /* not needed, remove */
   padding: 0;
   width: 100%; /* not needed, remove */

 #content-images li img {

   margin: 0 auto; /* not needed, remove */
   text-align: center /* not needed, remove (note you were missing 
 semi-colon at end) */
 width: 140px;
 float: left; /* not needed, remove */
 }

Seona Bellamy wrote:
 I've had a look on the wiki, but as far as I can tell the footers there

I think a better way to say this would be that absolutely positioned 
layouts don't work well with footers, but carry on. :-)

  At the moment I'm using the Cookiecrook mod to
 Devnull's 
 examplehttp://www.google.com/url?sa=Dq=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cookiecrook.com%2Fbugtests%2Ffixed.htmand
 it works fine if the middle column is the longest - that's the only
 one
 not positioned absolutely. Sadly, however, I can't guarentee that this will
 always be the case. Once the left-hand navigation is filled out completely
 and the teasers and ads are put into the right, there is a good chance that
 some pages will have a shorter middle column. At any rate, I can't afford to
 ignore this possibility.

 Does anyone know how to tweak my existing footer to make it behave, or can
 point me to another one that I can use instead?
   

Seona,

It's not an issue of your footer not behaving.  It's the absolute 
positioning that is the issue. When something is absolutely 
positioned, it's removed from the flow, so the other divs don't know 
it's there any more.  This includes the footer, which is just as 
blissfully unaware as all the other stuff on the page, and nothing you 
can do can make it see that absolutely positioned object that's 
cruelly overlapping it.

There's a Javascript solution to this, but a far more reliable one is to 
avoid using absolute positioning to lay out large portions of your pages 
and use floats instead.

[css-d] menu not showing borders in IE

2006-01-27 Thread cj
[quick note: i'm creating a site that needs a lot of hooks for various
people (including me), which is why you'll see spans in here that
don't seem necessary.]

the menu i'm working with was working great with my different css
files until i started putting span tags in the lis, at which point
IE threw a hissy fit and no longer showed the borders at all.  while
trying to figure out what was going on, i discovered that if i put any
text at all in front of the link, IE would work again.  i put both a
with-spaces and without-spaces test page together.

http://sltclan.com/images/cj/menu-problem-with-ie.html


the css and html validate.  if someone could also tell me why IE moves
my menu to the right when you hover for the first time on a fresh page
load, i'd love to fix that too.  it's been driving me crazy.

a while ago [1], I proposed an extra element to be placed last in the 
absolutely positioned box to establish some space beyond the box.

.apboxgluesolvent {
padding-bottom: 7em; /* height of the footer at minimum */
margin-bottom: -7em;
height: 0; /* layout for IE, ignored by the others */
}

div class=apboxgluesolvent!/div

[css-d] Inline style works, Class does not

Hi.

When I apply this inline style to my ul the orangedot.gif shoes up as it
should:

ul style=list-style-image: url(images/orangedot.gif);

When I move this to the stylesheet like so:

ul.orange-bullet {
list-style-image: url(images/orangedot.gif);
}

and apply the class: ul class=orange-bullet the style is ignored.

There are no other ul or li styles in the style sheet. Anyone know why
this would be happening?

[css-d] Drop Down Navigation

2006-01-27 Thread Audano, Chris
I'm almost finished with the CSS drop down with a fly out navigation
(using a small bit of JS).  Here's what I'm trying to do...
 
The navigation is horizontal that stretches 700 px.  The far right side
I want the drop down fly outs to fly out to the left verses right.  I
can change all of the menus to fly out to the left, but how do I select
those few to do this?  
 
 
/*Code for flyout to go to the right*/
ul#navmenu ul ul,
ul#navmenu ul ul ul {
  display: none;
  position: absolute;
  top: 0;
  left: 160px;


/* Working Code for Navigation -Left flyout*/
ul#navmenu ul ul,
ul#navmenu ul ul ul {
  display: none;
  position: absolute;
  top: 0;
  left: -160px;
 
 
/* 2nd Menu Hover Persistence Arrow Blue-LightGray*/
ul#navmenu li:hover a.arrow1,
ul#navmenu li.iehover a.arrow1 {
 background-image:url(/Test/Navigation/arrow-small3.gif);
 background-position:right;
 background-repeat:no-repeat;
}

NOTE:  I would like Benefits to fly out to the left verses right.  I
could apply this to the top level, Human Resources, but I'm not sure
about the coding.

 you're on the right track.  just wrap your menu list in a div, and
 use that div to style your menu seperately.

unless you have need of the extraneous div for other purposes, simply  
apply the class to the ul itself. it'll keep the markup leaner.

assuming you use ul class='menu', your css would be

ul.menu {
*styles here*
}
.menu li {
*styles here*
}

and so on..

alternatively, look to see if there's already an identifying element  
that can be used to hook the styles onto - for instance, if this is  
part of a div with an id of header, and you have no plans to add  
additional lists to the header,  you can use that ID to identify the  
list. The concept of the cascade can be tough to grasp at times, but  
it most definitely is worth the effort to learn.

For me the big challenge has been to create a scrolling table without 
defining the column widths explicitly, but instead letting the 
content determine cell width.  Does your model work in those circumstances?

Re: [css-d] CSS problems with Opera 8.5:

2006-01-27 Thread Kelly Miller
BTW, while we're discussing interesting things Opera does with CSS, anyone
ever see Opera 7.5 go haywire if you use a series of floated elements in an
absolutely positioned box?

Every other browser (including Opera 8.5) properly shrink-wrapped without
dropping the floats to the next line; but Opera 7.5 dropped every single
float to it's own line.

Not a problem I'm having (I found a few ways around it), just something I
wanted to note.

[css-d] variation on the Expanding Box Problem?

2006-01-27 Thread Lori Hylan-Cho
I'm looking at a case where the rendering differs between IE and
Firefox/Opera (all on Win at the moment), and I'm trying to determine
whether it's (a) a bug in IE, (b) a bug in FF/Opera, (c) a perfectly
reasonable (but different) reading of the spec, or (d) something else. It
seems very similar to the Expanding Box Problem [1], except that there's no
explicit width on the containing block.

Example page is here:
http://www.avocado8.com/testing/containing_block.html

To see the problem, make your browser window narrower -- until the image is
clipped (FF/Opera) or a horizontal scrollbar appears (IE). Basically, IE is
expanding the containing div to fit the content no matter what size the
browser window is. FF and Opera, on the other hand, limit the size of the
div to the width of the viewport and, because overflow: hidden is set on the
div, clip the image. (If overflow were not set to hidden, the image would
show, but the gray background would stop short of the right edge of the
browser.)

Thoughts on what's happening here, and ways to work around it? Is setting a
width on the div the only way to get the browsers to match?

Thanks for your input.

cheers,
Lori

Which one do you want to change -- FF or IE?  If you want to emulate 
IE's auto expansion, think back to table layout days.  Table cells did 
this very thing.  Well, using display: table-cell you can get a div to 
act like a table cell.  I just wrote two articles on this topic, actually:
http://www.communitymx.com/abstract.cfm?cid=53F70
http://www.communitymx.com/abstract.cfm?cid=EB8C5

If, on the other hand, you want IE to emulate FF, that's a whole other 
matter...

In case this means you need a fix for IE:

#main { width: 100%; overflow: hidden; background-color: #999; }
#main img { margin: 20px;}
body { padding: 20px;}

looks equal to

/*
#main {
background-color: #999;
margin: 20px;
padding: 20px;
overflow: hidden;
}

*/

in standards mode.

/Due to/ the expanding box problem, IE needs a real dimension for 
overflow to work.

Simply change your CSS to:

Hi folks,

has anyone of you recently noticed that the few recent Safari versions 
do occasionally cut off headings of web sites?

The latest WebKit nightlies do seem fine though.

Example:

(left: latest stable; right: latest nightly)

PS: It looks like the nightly builds of WebKit work pretty much well 
with Saft, it was an issue some time ago IIRC, that's a good news.

Re: [css-d] Safari missing headings

 has anyone of you recently noticed that the few recent Safari versions

Never had a problem with any version of Safari on my side.
There have been reports on the Apple Webdev mailing list about  
occasional display problems in Safari when some of those add-ons (you  
mentioned Saft) are installed. Removing those, deleting the  
com.apple.Safari.plist and everything worked fine again.

[css-d] Browser Statistics

2006-01-27 Thread {tonyFelice}
Does anyone know of a good resource for browser/platform statistics?

 

I will need it to win a war against some backward thinking in design.
Senior Developer on team does not believe CSS support is widespread enough.
(!)  I can hold my own in conversation regarding which browsers support
what, but I would need some solid statistics to prove my thinking to the
decision makers.  

 

Anything helps.  I am familiar with the ever-popular w3schools stats, but
they don't cross-ref with platform, and are somewhat skewed.  WebSideStory
is blocked.

 

I am guessing that they look like this:

90% IE

9% FF

-1% other

 

96% PC

2% mac

2% *nix

Re: [css-d] css scrollable tables..again

2006-01-27 Thread Terence Ordona

 Nice work on browser support, Terence.

 For me the big challenge has been to create a scrolling table without
 defining the column widths explicitly, but instead letting the
 content determine cell width.  Does your model work in those
 circumstances?

 Paul

Thanks Paul.

The bigThreeVersion will give you this. Although, for browser other then
IE, you do have to add padding to last table cell to make up for the
scrollbar... usually 16px.

The CSS is the last commented declaration in the page source, and it's
basically just td:last-child.


HTH.
- Terence

Re: [css-d] Safari missing headings

2006-01-27 Thread Jan Brasna
 Removing those

That's unlikely, Saft is a must for serious work. Some other (Stand, 
WebDev) were removed though.

 deleting the com.apple.Safari.plist and everything worked fine again.

D'oh, I should have checked the preflists, app cache etc. prior to 
reporting it. Since the versions have separate namespaces, it might be 
this issue. I'll undergo the cure ASAP, thanks for the tip, Philippe!

Re: [css-d] CSS problems with Opera 8.5:

 anyone ever see Opera 7.5 go haywire if you use a series of floated

The original CSS 2.0 spec required width to be specified on floats, so  
Opera 7.5 (and earlier) requires a width. The current CSS 2.1 spec has  
removed that requirement, and I believe Opera 8 (and later) no longer need  
that width.

[css-d] Odd spacing problem - FF vs IE?

2006-01-27 Thread John Bishop - alternative it
Hi guys...

(btw - I only joined this list a couple of weeks ago, and have already
learnt heaps about CSS  associated topics from the group. *Thank you* to
all that contribute :)

Just a curio with the 'Search' form at:
http://www2.petrescue.com.au/newindex.htm - the spacing between the rows
differs quite noticeably between FF and IE. I've forced padding  margins
for all of the div's  form elements; any idea why this might be happening?

Thanks,
jb :)

Re: [css-d] Why develop for old browsers?

Jochen Kaechelin wrote:
 
 Why investigating in making stylesheets for old browsers like IE 5,
 Netscape 4 (ha, ha!!) or an old version if Opera??
 
Hi Jochen,
I think that most of us either

1. deliver an unstyled version (checked for usability) to older UAs, or

2. use two style sheets, one for basic coloring, a second for layout,
giving only the basic coloring to older UAs

Check the Wiki for several ways to hide styles sheets from old UAs.

Personally, I do check in IE 5 though. Opera (my own preference) works 
well enough on older versions that I don't worry about it. But I do 
check in Netscape 4 to make sure it's usable, if not pretty.

Others may have different ideas to contribute (?)

Cordially,
David

 i think spans are the way to go for this situation, but i think you'll
 find that naming your classes something meaningful (such as
 first-name and last-name) is a better practice than naming them by
 color.

 class=last-nameJenkins/span/h1
 
You can do this with *no* class names and only one SPAN, viz:
HTML
h1Lerrroyy spanJenkins/span/h1
CSS
h1 {color: blue;}
h1 span {color: red;}
 
Less is more  :-)

The only thing I want to tell the people on the list is that there might be

That's no request for doing some hacks on subscribed users - NO IT'S NOT

 if someone could also tell me why IE moves
 my menu to the right when you hover for the first time on a fresh page

   ul { position:relative;}

alternatively, removing all of these hotfixes

   onmouseover=this.className='current iefix'
   onmouseout=this.className='current'

will stop the jumping, too.
