 Now that I see the latest standard, I concur. At least, as far as I
 can interpret it, that is:

 clear means add to the top margin a value equal to the height of the
 clear. If the margin is less than the height of the clear, then the
 added value will always result in the height of the clear, and it will
 always look the same. Only when the margin is greater than the height
 of the clear, nothing is added.

 So the first case is 0 + 80 = 80.
 The next is 80 + 0 = 80.
 The next is 100 + 0 = 100.
 The last is -1 + 81 = 80.

That is the correct assessment for the value of the computed margin- 
top in those cases.

 Not a very helpful implementation I guess?

?
The css 2.1 wording is quite clear, I think. As far as  
implementations go, Opera has still some work to do, and IE maybe  
(depending on how IE 7 handles margins, margin-collapsing, etc), and  
iCab.

 - Isn't an alternative also
 to give the floated element a bottom margin?
If you want to make sure there is some separation space between the  
floated box and the (cleared) subsequent block, that is the way to  
go, as you never know how tall  (computed height)  the floated block  
will be, except if the height is locked in pixels (i.e. an image).

 Good old IE Mac is wrong on the negative margin test, can't blame it  
 too hard, due to the ambiguities in the CSS 2.0 wording.

Re: [css-d] How close is MS from releasing IE7?

2006-02-03 Thread Nick Fitzsimons
 It is apparent to me that when they eliminated the * hack - they failed to
 replace it with the min-height command - which is a serious problem. Does
 anyone know if they are going to address the min-height command?


See my email from earlier:

http://archivist.incutio.com/viewlist/css-discuss/69824

As to when they are planning to release, you're better off checking out
the IE Developer Center linked to in my previous answer for that kind of
information. I have seen it suggested that it may not be until 3rd quarter
2006, but that's just random speculation by somebody with no inside
knowledge, and is therefore worthless.

[css-d] Is IE7b2 particularly slow on a:hover ?

2006-02-03 Thread Ingo Chao

On this old bug page
http://www.positioniseverything.net/explorer/percentages.html

IE7b2 takes half a second to click in the background-color change on 
hover each time you walk from one section to the next (sections A-I), 
hovering the little colored squares.

Once you have entered a section, the hover is as fast as usual.

Is it just this bug demo, and IE7b2 requires lots of CPU time to correct 
the buggy margin-%-calculation?

Or do you have experienced similar performance lacks with a change on 
hover on your pages?

Ingo

Btw: Section E example 1 still shows a jump on hover, to a wrong 
position this time.

I may be missing something, but if you just skip the entire hack 
and just apply

li a{
display:block;
width:13em;
}

all the examples display properly in IE7, 6, 5.5, 5.01.

(I've never used the height property to eliminate the gaps afair)

Re: [css-d] Inline styles and the people who hate them.

Troy,

 Now, the wonderful thing about this app is that it has dozens of pages with
 unique designs. Each of these unique designs requires many elements to be
 positioned, floated, padded, margined, bordered or backgrounded uniquely.
 This has contributed in no small way to the 10,000+ lines of CSS rules for
 this app. 

If you need more than 10,000 lines of css for styling an app, my first
guess is, that you've done something wrong. I spent the last year in
styling a large scale enterprise application framework and we only
needed about 2500 lines of multilined css definitions.

If you really need to style each page individually, you should
consider to split the rules into different css files.

I would start with:

general.layout.css
general.components.css

And two files for specific IE rules:
general.layout.ie.css
general.components.ie.css

and probably enhancing it with group levels:

groupx.layout.css
groupx.component.css

And two files for specific IE rules:
groupx.layout.ie.css
groupx.component.ie.css


if you need to go down to the page level you could use inline styles
in the head, but IMHO it's better to add them to the group level
files. Add an id to the body tag of the pages and identify the
specific page by using this id.

If you have too many rules, you can add page level external css-files.

You should also go through your style definitions to identify
duplications.

- Use inheritance as much as you can!
- Think about every class and id you use, if you really need it, or if
  it will be enough to use the id/class of the container.
- Write the rules specifying as much as the html structure as
  possible/necessary. This will help you to find a specific rule, if
  you have to change it.

  like:

  #layoutWrapper #layoutHead #layoutLogo a img { styles... }

- Use namespaces for names of classes and ids

I hope that helps...

regards

  Martin

Martin Heiden wrote:

Personally, I cannot see the purpose in having page-level external files 
in addition to shared group-wide or site-wide files, except for one 
thing: media types. If you link to external style sheets you can 
reliably use media types.

If media type is not an issue in the situation, I would put the 
page-specific rules into the head of the document. This is quite 
appropriate within the intent of CSS, in my opinion, and makes finding 
the relevant CSS much easier.

You should only use external CSS when the rules are for sharing with 
other pages, IMHO. Otherwise you are adding inconvenience without 
gaining any corresponding benefit, and it means an extra server hit for 
each page viewed - completely contrary to all the normal advantages of 
using external files.

Keeping the rules within the document allows you to use sensible global 
naming conventions within each page like...

#content

...and provide unique layout values without needing to apply unique IDs 
to the BODY tag or similar strategies, which can be a real pain in the 
butt to administer across large sites.

Another reason to be careful about over-centralising CSS is testing: we 
had a situation on a very large corporate JSP-based site where the whole 
site was being made-over to a new look across several months. Chunks 
went through unit and functional testing and were then staged for final 
production use. Before we realised the risks, we had a couple of 
situations where later changes to the shared CSS caused layout of pages 
that had already been through testing to break.

This was extremely serious, because testing was about 40% of the work on 
each page, and retesting everything would have added weeks or months to 
the project.

We had to split CSS up so that each chunk that went through testing 
would not be affected by later changes to the CSS, but within these 
chunks you could still have problems. CSS seems to be almost unique in 
introducing risks on this scale on large workflows.

HTH

Cheers

Ian

PS - I second the sentiment of others that if you have thousands of 
lines of CSS in any single file, something has gone wrong almost by 
definition.

 Hi all, I seem to be having a bit of a problem getting a div to fill the
 width of the screen.  Here's the trouble page:
 http://www.rit.edu/upub/new/contact_us2.html

 Can anyone help me get the maincontent div to fill the remaining width of
 the screen, instead of it just being 400px like it is now?
   

It's actually 500px, because you have a rule for it that says width: 
500px; :-)

In order to get it to fill the width of the page, you have to leave a 
width off, and you can't float it. If you float it, it will expand to 
the width of its content -- and you have a bunch of blocks in there that 
want to be 100% of the window.  They successfully become 100% of the 
window and push #maincontent down in the process.

So, remove the width and the float and apply margin-left: 180px to 
#maincontent.  Your new problem then becomes that the clearers you have 
within #maincontent are clearing the #sidebar too. This is because 
#sidebar and #maincontent are in the same block formatting context. 
You need to create a new block formatting context for #maincontent so 
that clearers within it pay no mind to #sidebar.  The float you had on 
there before was establishing a new context, but it was unusable with a 
fluid layout.  Luckily, you have several different ways:
http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/visuren.html#q15

I applied display: table-cell to #maincontent in Firefox and it worked 
great. If this doesn't work in other browsers, you can try display: 
inline-block on them.

 And as always, any other comments on the site are welcome as well.
   

I think it's a great design and will be a lovely example of liquid 
layout.  Shoot me an email when it's launched so I can bookmark it, ok? :-)

It seems related, but kind of flipped on its head -- this page is 
documenting the familiar bug in IE (and earlier Opera) of floats moving 
up higher than previous floats. The bug I was looking at, on the other 
hand, was about static content not moving high enough -- seemingly 
over-aggressive clearing.

   .clear_solvent {float:left; width:0px; height:0px;}


   div id=right-float-1

   div class=clear_solvent!/div

   div id=right-float-2
 pThis div is floated .../p
   /div

   pstrongThis paragraph is not floated and sits in the source 
 after the second right float. .../strong/p


 Seems to work in my browsers, including IE7b2.


I can confirm it works on IE6 and IE7b2.  Thanks so much Ingo!  I

Very interesting, Zoe. I was testing something like that this day and I
didn't get this solution.

display: table-cell applied ti #maincontent works on Opera 8.51.

To avoid any problem with IE, I have added through a conditional comment:
   !--[if lt IE 7]
style type=text/css
 #maincontent {
   height: 1%;  /* holly hack */
   display: block; }
/style
   ![endif]--

The holly hack seems absolutely necessary, display: block is rather
an additional security.

It works fine as well on Netscape 7.02 (Gecko 1.02) and Mozilla Firebird
0.7 (Gecko 1.5) but amazingly, it works for these two brothers even if
display: block is applied to #maincontent.

Hi all,

I redesigned my portfolio http://design.zooibaai.nl/ last week and
was convinced it didn't look _that_ awful in IE. Then I saw this
screenshot http://browsershots.org/job/738825/ and wondered just why
a local IE6 testbed didn't display this wicked freak show. That's not
important right now, however. I want it to either approximate the
proper layout http://browsershots.org/job/738826/ or look okay
enough (something like previews under titles, description a tad wider,
but then with clearance on the elements--IE refused to listen to my
rules when I was able to check). If anyone has a fix or even a
ridiculously wonderful tip as to where the problem is, I would be
pretty grateful.

Thanks in advance,
Rob.

In What’s New for CSS in Beta 2 Preview? 
http://blogs.msdn.com/ie/archive/2006/02/02/523679.aspx
Markus Mielke said they have fixed the comment bug:

   property /**/: value;

value is now recognized by IE7b2 (like in all browsers but IE6).

But !important is still ignored, valueB overwrites valueA

   property: valueB;


This wild fixing of only /half/ of the bugs breaks all pages that make 
use of the alternate box model hack.

Well, in Call to action: The demise of CSS hacks and broken pages they

In Molly's Star HTML and Microsoft IE7
http://www.molly.com/2005/12/22/star-html-and-microsoft-ie7/
this comment was broadly accepted:

“If IE7 fixes all those issues and behaves according to W3C standards, 
why should the hack matter?… If IE7 is as good as they say, it should 
ignore the hack and just render everything normally while IE6 and lower 
will still use the hack.”

So fixing the /**/-bug requires fixing the !important bug.

http://www.joelschettler.com/about/

It displays as it should in FF and IE.

Second, here is the section in question:
Recommended Reading (left hand side column, below What I'm Reading)

Third, here are the details:
1. When the titles on those books were shorter (e.g. just Blink for 
the top one and The 10 Faces of Innovation for the bottom) , each book 
and its titles displays next to the other (left to right, rather than 
stacked on top of each other). I made the titles longer (added more 
words) and it appears to have helped them stack,  but there is still an 
issue of:
* - what if he has books with short titles?
 - why is there a huge gap between the recommended reading header and 
the books below it?*

2. Please note these books are using the same code as the What I'm 
Reading Section above it. Here is the page code: (I edited out the 
expression engine code being used to generate the books)

div class=sidetitleRecommended Reading/div
div class=sidetext
div class=booktext
div class=bookthumba href=http://urltobook;img 
src=http://srctothumb;/a/div
div class=booktitleTitle of book/div
div class=bookauthorAuthor of book/div
/div!-- end book text --
/div

3. Here is the css code for the above classes. I have a hunch it's my 
floats that are causing issues in Safari, but I don't know why/how or 
what might help (I don't have Safari to troubleshoot, I've been using a 
capture program)

.sidetitle {text-transform: capitalize;
}

.sidetext {font-size: 10px;
padding: 5px 0 30px 0;
}

.booktext {float: left;
margin-bottom: 20px;
}

.bookthumb {float: right;
padding-left: 10px;
}

.bookthumb img {padding: 5px;
border: 1px solid #6F675A;
}

.booktitle {font-size: 11px;
color: #6F675A;
font-family:  'Bookman Old Style', Georgia, Times, serif;
font-weight: bold;
}

(.bookauthor has no style definition)

So again, how to troubleshoot for books with shorter titles and how to 
solve the gap problem currently seen on the page. If need be, I am 
happy to shorten the title of the books to display for people the 
issues that caused.

Thank you very much for your help and time. Oh, and yes, I usually use 
flexible font sizes but some other issues prevented me from doing so on 
this project :)

Re: [css-d] clear: both + negative margin -- should it do anything?

2006-02-03 Thread Lori Hylan-Cho
 For anyone who's interested, I put up a test page with 
 screenshots 

 There is no test case  there, only screen shots.

Sorry for the confusing terminology; I didn't mean that the page had a test
case. (I'm trying to compare different browser renderings for a project I'm
working on, so screenshots all on one page were most useful for my
purposes.) I added a live demo to the bottom of the page to make it more
useful to others, although of course yours is way, way nicer.

 When quoting the specs, it is a good idea to refer to the 
 latest one;  

Oh, sorry again -- I referred to the latest recommendation rather than the
latest draft. I'm not sure that the latest draft is really any clearer,
though...

 IE 6 Win is half correct (test 2 and 3), probably more by 
 accident.

Yeah, that was my conclusion as well. :) From Ingo's IE7b2 screenshot, it
looks like nothing has changed yet.

cheers,
Lori

[css-d] No scrollbar at all in IE

2006-02-03 Thread David Ross
I have a weird problem which I've never encountered or heard of. I've been
rebuilding a table site into css/xhtml. I use a mac so everything's been
going great with the mac browsers. Then, I check on a pc IE6. A couple of
pages where content is longer than the window there is no scrollbar at all.
I tried the force scrollbar method of html { height: 100% } body {
min-height: 101% }
I also tried adding a height of 1200px into the ie.css stylesheet within the
conditional comment. No luck there either.
I just added these javascript titles to the site and thought maybe they were
the problem but they werent.

The site is rather small so don't need to use floats, therefore I am using
some relative and minimal absolute positioning...never had a problem before
with this though.

page in question:
http://www.lowandtritt.com/new/communicate.html

Any ideas?
Thanks,
David

Re: [css-d] Problems with IE 7

2006-02-03 Thread Kelly Miller
Actually (as crazy as this sounds), this isn't a CSS error, but an HTML 
error (but only in this case; spaces on other elements are related to 
CSS).  I already reported it to the IE team yesterday.

It's documented here:  
http://www.howtocreate.co.uk/wrongWithIE/?chapter=Empty+Elements

It appears as if IE doesn't process /li and doesn't close a list item 
until it hits either li or the end of the list item.  When you add a 
line break (like most of us do to make the code look better), IE 
generates a gap in the li where the line break is in the source.

I did try it in IE7b2, that's what currently installed here, and the

course, this did not work with your page. Again, simplify.

This is only semi-tested, but I often do similar things:

   height: 300px;
   padding: .5em;

   position: relative; /*provides a positioning context*/
}

#planfooter {
position: absolute; /*new rule*/
bottom: 0;  /*puts it on the bottom*/
}

You might want to give your price footers a class as well as an id and 
then position the class--it'll save some electrons.

[css-d] About Conditional Comments IE7b2

For those who are complaining about strange results with Conditional 
Comments and the IE7 beta...

A post was just made on the IE Blog mentioning that the IE7 Beta is 
looking for this:

!--[if IE 7.0b]

 and not

!--[if IE 7.0]

I believe that goes a long way to explaining why some sites are reacting 
funny to certain conditional comment types.  I guess that means we're 
going to have to think about this.

I did find that !--[if lte IE 6] is ignored by IE7, but parsed by IE6 
and less.  Maybe use that in place of !--[if lt IE 7.0]

 In your HTML, you'll need to add a clearing element following the

 br style=clear: both; /

 I'd recommend moving that inline style to your style sheet.

 I hope that helps,

I prefer having an [external] css file for each page because 1) VS.Net
[for some strange reason] gives me CSS IntelliSense and CSS designer
support when css is either in an inline-style tag or in a .css file but
*NOT* when the css is put into a style/style tag set in the HEAD of
a document. The css IntelliSense support while not complete is nice. 2)
I can make changes to the css file without touching the .aspx page 3)
the css file is cached client side.

I really like the idea of giving the body tag an ID though - that's
something I have never thought of.

You should only use external CSS when the rules are for sharing with
other pages, IMHO. Otherwise you are adding inconvenience without
gaining any corresponding benefit, and it means an extra server hit for
each page viewed - completely contrary to all the normal advantages of
using external files.

Keeping the rules within the document allows you to use sensible global
naming conventions within each page like...

Maybe. Your page lacks a DOCTYPE so IE6 (and IE7b, in case anyone is 
interested) renders in quirks mode with a broken box model. I believe 
that puts the padding inside the dimensions of the image, and so covered 
by the image.

Put this (or something like it) first in your mark-up:

!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC -//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN 
http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd;

and things should be hunky-dory, though I confess I didn't test it.

recommend some examples of more graphically impressive ones.

For example can button fades by done with css? I am looking for examples of
this in particular if it can even be done.

Thanks a million in advance.

Can anyone point me to a good tutorial on how to create drop shadows that

If you mean using CSS to create drop shadows, you might look at these 
demos and see if you can modify same to meet your need?

Otherwise, Google for Photoshop or Gimp techniques.

Hi Jamie,
And perhaps: a one page mini-tutorial 
http://home.tiscali.nl/developerscorner/css-discuss/test-dropshadows.htm 
with some examples and links.

[css-d] IE issues

2006-02-03 Thread Mike Tuller
I am just learning how to create pages with heavy use of CSS, so  
please bare with me on trying to figure out the differences between  
IE's use of CSS and every other browsers. I am trying to have a  
center container and all content within that container. I want it to  
work much like http://www.news.com.

What I have is this:

.container
{
width: 800px;
background: url(../images/center.gif);
margin: 0 auto;
border: 1px solid red;
}

In Firefox and Safari, everything looks great, but in IE, it looks  
like a train wreck. You can see it at http://www.philliparock.com/ 
beta I have added the red border to show where the container ends.  
You will see that in IE it ends earlier than it should.

Can anyone tell me what I need to do to get this to display  
correctly? Am I asking too much?



Mike

I think what you are looking for is best handled by CSS enhanced with
Javascript. There's a lot of options, one you can look into is FACE:

Re: [css-d] positioning image to bottom of div, top of footer

 I'm trying to figure out a way to position an image to the bottom of a
 block so that it lines up with the footer and the image in the footer
 and yet the text in the same block as the image flows around the top of
 the image.

 Here is the page in question:
 http://www.slsd.org/teacher/washkod/foundation/take2/index.html

 Now if the text in the main body exceeds the height of the image, this
 is what happens:

 http://www.slsd.org/teacher/washkod/foundation/take2/index_ohno.html

1: Validate.
2: Remove the image from the html
3: Class or ID the container div around everything between .navbar and 
.footer
4: Style it with padding-left: 140px; background: #b4c2da 
url(/images/montage_top.png) bottom left no-repeat; margin-bottom: 0;

Re: [css-d] Safari puzzlement with divs/possibly float issues?

 I'm having some issues with how Safari is displaying items on one

 It displays as it should in FF and IE.

 Recommended Reading (left hand side column, below What I'm  
 Reading)

 Third, here are the details:
 1. When the titles on those books were shorter (e.g. just Blink for
 the top one and The 10 Faces of Innovation for the bottom) , each  
 book
 and its titles displays next to the other (left to right, rather than
 stacked on top of each other). I made the titles longer (added more
 words) and it appears to have helped them stack,  but there is  
 still an
 issue of:
 * - what if he has books with short titles?
  - why is there a huge gap between the recommended reading header  
 and
 the books below it?*


 .booktext {float: left;
 margin-bottom: 20px;
 }

Give a width to your .booktext. Currently it collapses to the width  
of the image when the book title is short.
