Re: [css-d] two colored headers
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. Ben Liu wrote: Apologies if this has been answered before.

[css-d] footer jumps in IE on a:hover
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. derek allard - - - - - - - Tunnel 7 ~ freelance website design http://www.tunnel7.com 413.529.0754 - - - - - - - __ 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] First full CSS layout
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 -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.

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

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 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.

Re: [css-d] site check PLEASE
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 djn Augusto Murri wrote: Check my site.. i think there are some problems but i don't know how to fix them.. :| http://www.augustomurri.it/workBoard/MUSEI tnx to all! -- Dejan Kozina Dolina 346 (TS) - I-34018 Italy tel./fax: +39 040 228 436 - cell.: +39 348 7355 225 http://www.kozina.com/ - e-mail: [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/
