Re: [css-d] two colored headers

2006-01-28 Thread david
What is the purpose of the span? Screenreader users won't see the
colors. If it's for emphasis, you might want to do something like this
instead:

Markup:
h1strongLeroy/strong emJenkins/em/h1

CSS:
h1.strong {color:blue;}
h1.em {color:red}

Add additional CSS settings to each of the above to change what the
browser defaults will be doing to those tags.

An advantage to this approach vs setting Leroy's color in the header tag 
is that you're free to use h1 tags elsewhere without them also being 
Leroy's color. Plus screenreaders can properly indicate the different 
degrees of emphasis.

 .blue_part_of_the_header {color: blue;}

Ok, but I have a different opinion in handling such things!!!
I informed the responsable people about 12 hours ago and I did not get a 
response so far! They behave like microsoft! They know about the problems - 
sometimes for years and did not try to solve it. I'am sure that the 
responsable people would not react when I send them a private mail.
Perhaps they react when a lot of people know about it!!!

What about pages like securityfocus . Why do they publish security holes?
And everyone can read it and try a exploit! Are these guys bad?
Isn't it your intention to run a save system??

[css-d] Height question, container doesn't stretch in firefox

Hi,

I made this page: http://e.domaindlx.com/lowenf/radius/index.html

But for some reason the height doesnt stretch with the content in Firefox
(IE is fine, that's a miracle).
I used these guidelines:
http://www.quirksmode.org/css/100percheight.html

And it worked before and I've been searching for almost a hour to find what
the hell I did wrong, but perhaps
one of you guys sees what went wrong..

[css-d] footer jumps in IE on a:hover

2006-01-28 Thread Tunnel 7
Hello.

This is my first tableless layout and I have one bug that I just can't
figure out.  When you hover over the body links the footer jumps - it
looks like about 10 pixels of padding are added.  It can best be seen on
this page (mouse over body link then mouseover logo at top (it will jump
back):  

http://www.blueowlmassage.com/dev/clients_forms.php

For a link hover I have defined a dotted 2px border - if I change it to
just a text underline the jump will go away.  However the client likes
the dotted border (and now I am determined to get to the bottom of it!).

Interestingly the nav bar doesn't cause it nor does the footer, which
share the same hover definition.  The only thing that I can see that is
different between them is that they aren't nested in a div (in this
case maintext).  I've tried everything I can think of ... any thoughts
would be appreciated.

If you just let the content in #container stretch it, you can just
remove height: 100% and #container would be the correct height.

In what browser(s) are you seeing the jump.  I didn't see it in firefox  
1.5 on my mac.

There are 3 validation errors in the html, one of which is in the  
doctype.  You will want to fix those to get more consistent behavior  
across browsers.   
http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1uri=http://

There is an error in the css that is causing firefox to ignore one of  
your hover rules.

There is an error in the css which is causing firefox to ignore a bit  
of it.  You need to remove the extra comma.
#head a:hover, {
text-decoration:none;
border: 0;
}

In general, if you use a border on hover it is best to set it so it  
doesn't take up more space hovered than not.  Something like,

a { padding-bottom: 2px; }
a:hover {
padding-bottom: 0;
border-bottom: 2px dotted #ffe7be;
}

[css-d] First full CSS layout

2006-01-28 Thread Bob Boisvert
Hi All,

I was wondering if you have the time, if you could look at this layout, it
holds up to about a 200% increase in text size before falling out of the
container. I would like to fix the menu which is a List-O-Rama CSS menu
(Dreamweaver extention) and I may try a sucker fish instead but in IE6 the
height difference is really spread out as compared to Firefox, Opera, and
Netscape.

I also have a strange event happening in the first top box on the right,
there is an image linked that is above the organization about, sometimes it
shows up, and sometimes it doesn't and I'm not sure why.

http://www.sppots.org/testing/new/


Any suggestions would be helpful; the original layout is from HTML Utopia
designing without tables. Eventually this site will be more dynamic as it is
a redesign of www.sppots.org


Thanks,
Bob

[css-d] Is there a CSS hack png transparency?

2006-01-28 Thread Abyss Information
We all know about PNG transparency and its problems with ie (at least i would 
hope so -for those that dont go to

http://koivi.com/ie-png-transparency/ and look via IE )

anyway my point is

you have to add a heap of code for transparency with IE - my question is when 
you want to use it with a CSS via a style sheet


 body
  {
   Background-Attachment: Fixed;
   Background-Image: URL(../../ws_files/img/Index/MainLogo.png);
   Background-Position: Top Left;
   Background-Repeat: No-Repeat;
   filter: 
progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader(src='../../ws_files/img/Index/MainLogo.png',
 sizingMethod='scale');
   margin-left:550px;
   color:#000;
   background-color:#60564C;
   padding-top: 175px;
}


it falls over and doesn't work is there a CSS hack for this?

I have looked around and have found JS solutions but this is no good as i am 
making a DB backend allowing users to choose the style of css they want
and i wish to just store the CSS name in the DB, so i do not have to put all 
the code manually into each tag (eg body style=etc)

thanks heaps

Add a 'hasLayout'[1] trigger...

...and maybe you want to tighten it up across browser-land...
#navcontainer ul {padding: 0; margin: 0;}

 I also have a strange event happening in the first top box on the

Can't see any problems, but if it's happening in IE/win only, then a
'position: relative;' on the image might fix that.

Hello all
My first time posting, so excuse me if this message doesn't belong here.
I have an msn group and we're running a web design contest I thought I'd
mention.
It's mostly for newbies and perhaps some intermediate level folks.
The prize is web hosting for a year w/domain name.  The deadline is March
31st.
This is a friendly little competition we have every year.  I post it here in
case there are some newbies out there that would like to strut their stuff,
and maybe win a website, if you don't already have one.
http://groups.msn.com/htmlwebdesigndreamers/_whatsnew.msnw

Thanks for listening! -- and Eric - you can't apply! LOL
Best wishes all,

 (Dreamweaver extention) and I may try a sucker fish instead but in IE6 the

 Netscape.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it? This is a good list, and I think the
only thing left to do is to zero out the margins on the UL. Even if
you can't get it looking identical cross browser, keep in mind that
you really don't have to, as long as it looks good on different
browsers.

Also I really don't see how suckerfish, or any other sort of
dropdowns, would be practical here. Dropdowns are usually a good way
to get your users lost and the level of navigation on most sections
isn't deep at all. I think having a section on each page with
subnavigation is fine. You also have a lot of space on the new layout
to play around with different options.

 I also have a strange event happening in the first top box on the right,
 there is an image linked that is above the organization about, sometimes it
 shows up, and sometimes it doesn't and I'm not sure why.

I don't see any image linked.

 Any suggestions would be helpful; the original layout is from HTML Utopia
 designing without tables.

The site looks fine, much better than the original. I would suggest
adding some padding to the boxes on the right, so that the text
doesn't sit against the borders. Also, definitely optomize your CSS:

change:

border-top:1px solid #666;
border-right:1px solid #666;
border-bottom:1px solid #666;
border-left:1px solid #666;

to:

border:1px solid #666;

change:

padding-left:10px;
padding-right:10px;
margin-left:160px;
margin-right:160px;

to:

padding: 0 10px;
margin: 0 160px;

(excuse me if you already knew about these changes).

One other things, using:

background-image:url(images/backgroundtop.jpg);

seems silly, when you could just do:

background-color: #F5F5F5; /* the equivalent color */

Also, there is obviously a lot to do with sppots.org in terms of
usability, but the issues there are not CSS related, and you probably
know about them already. If you want feedback on sppots.org I can let
you know offlist.

Re: [css-d] site check PLEASE

2006-01-28 Thread Dejan Kozina
Nice and clean overall. Just some point you might want to consider:

- the CSS validator objects to an empty color: rule for .proprieta at 
line 398. AFAIK you're not using it anywhere, so you might just cull it

- text sized in pixels can't be resized in IE. Might try to use ems, 
percents or keywords...

- enlarging text in Firefox the longest items under #menu escape out of 
the fixed height links, becoming white on white; I'd suggest giving 
min-height to the standard compliant browsers and height to IE only
