[css-d] Vertical alignment question

2006-07-11 Thread Eoin Maguire
Hi,

 

 Not sure if this got through last time, but I have a problem with
positioning something nicely within an image background. I've uploaded the
code for people to see, if you look at this page you'll see that on the far
right there's a score of 67%, but it's not sitting nicely against the orange
background. I've tried quite a few different techniques to get this to sit
vertically and horizontally centered against the orange background but I
can't quite get it.

 

 

It would be great if the resident CSS experts would have a look at it and
suggest a possible fix, here's the URL with the example code on it:

Thanks!

The 67% is not contained in any element. Why not  put it inside a p or
other containing element and target that?

[css-d] IE not playing nice...please help

2006-07-11 Thread APC
Hi everyone,

I'm changing the design for my site http://www.daddaily.com and am running into 
a lot of Internet Explorer problems.  The site displays fine in FireFox.

I would very much appreciate anyone's help as to why my navbar and sidebar 
don't show.

Thank you very much,

Art

PS, I love the /. redesign so used the same design for my header.  It is just 
temporary while I iron out the IE bugs.  Will be changing that shortly.

[css-d] Random Space

2006-07-11 Thread Richard Brown
Hi Guys

I am building a site here:
http://www.weddingcompanycornwall.co.uk/
http://www.weddingcompanycornwall.co.uk/wp-content/themes/weddings/style.css
Using Stu Nicholls code from here:
http://www.cssplay.co.uk/layouts/fixit.html

However, I seem to have gained a random space in the content div. You can see 
it at the top of the scroll bar. Does anyone know where it comes from please?

Whilst writing I would also ask folks what they think of the navigation 
please? At the moment if you go into the Our Designers page, the secondary 
navigation arrives in the footer. Any comments please?

Bit thanks to Stu and thanks for reading this.

Yup. You placed the #content at 120px from the top, and gave the 
#header a height of 100px.
There's 20px difference between those two values :-)

Since Els replied to the CSS question, I guess I get to venture into the 
twilight zone of *personal opinion.* The nav jump to the bottom did not 
bother me. I thought, at first, that the top nav was a text sub-title. 
Pipe separators(or something like that) between the link items might 
help? I /did not/ care for the header/footer v- scrollbars when the 
font-s are zoomed. With regard to the content text, what's with the 
centered lines? Try flush left/scatter right instead. Palatino is tiny 
to begin with, so bump 90% on the body to default(100%). And it is 
sometimes exquisite in italic when it changes to a display font(around 
107 to 109%). So it might not hurt, to push the envelope, going even 
larger on the content-text p (italic 120% or 130%?-- this is sure to 
freak out your peers, if not my good friend Felix Miata :-) ).


Best,
~dL
PS These are, of course, my personal opinions.

Must be a dual purpose service :-)

...a bit more separation seems to be needed.



Generally regarding the layout:
There's a problem with...

body {height:100%;}

...and...

* html body {
padding:120px 0 50px 0;
}

...making the body 100%+120px+50px tall in IE6. The extra height is
added below footer.

Comment out / delete the 'height: 100%', and body will self-adjust to
100% height including paddings in IE6.

---

There's a similar problem with...

#content {padding:20px;}

...and...

* html #content {width:100%;}

...making the #content 40px too wide in IE6.

Comment out / delete the 'width:100%;' and it will default to 100% width
including paddings in IE6.

---

I think you should study Stu's fixed layout a bit more, as you have
clearly not picked up the simple fact that he puts IE6 (and IE7) in
quirks mode (while your page does not). Thus Stu has avoided all
problems by *not* dealing with them, and he is simulating a standard
style-effect in browsers that *do* understand the real thing.

I think the real position: fixed is a better option, with a
mode-independent workaround for IE/win.
Something like this...
http://www.gunlaug.no/contents/wd_additions_15.html
...seems to work quite well in most browsers.

[css-d] A good CSS/text button?

2006-07-11 Thread Tom Dell'Aringa
Hi everyone,

I'm searching for a good solution that will allow us to use scalable,
graphic backgrounds as buttons while still using plain text. The main reason
for this is to allow for ease of editing buttons without going back to the
image editor, as well as internationalization.

Currently, one of our developers implemented this solution:
-

.green-button {
padding: 0 0 10px 0;
display: inline;
font: bold 12px Arial;
vertical-align: middle;
white-space: nowrap; }

.green-button span.l {
 text-decoration:none;
 background: url(button_left.gif) left center no-repeat;
 padding: 4px 6px 4px 0; }

.green-button b {
 text-decoration:none;
 color:#ff;
 background: url(button_center.gif) center center repeat-x;
 padding: 4px 0; }

.green-button span.r {
 text-decoration:none;
 background: url(button_right.gif) right center no-repeat;
 padding: 4px 6px 4px 0; }

.green-button:hover b { text-decoration: none; }

a href=# class=green-buttonspan class=lnbsp;/spanbAdd to
Watchlist/bspan class=rnbsp;/span/a

-

You can see what it looks like (with CSS inline) at:

http://www.pixelmech.com/rev/cssbutton.html

It works, but I'm not crazy about it for a couple of reasons. One is that it
is tricky to position correctly. And I am just wondering if there is a
better way to do it. (A sliding doors method perhaps?) I've searched for css
buttons, but all I seem to come up with is stuff I am familiar with -
basically replacing text with an image or css rollovers, but none of that
really fits what we need here.

Any suggestions on how to improve what we have, or a better solution
altogether? (I'm thinking there is a better way to do this.)

Thanks

Tom

[css-d] Francky's Corners and accessible tabs

2006-07-11 Thread rollandburn
Hi all,  after great help and suggestions from quite a few of the  
members here I have come to another block in my css training.  After  
successfully implementing francky's rounded corners and accessible  
tabs separately, I find that I am having a problem getting the tabs  
to sit on top of the rounded corner div.  The tabs are sliding down,  
overlapping the div instead of sitting on top.  Teh following link  
illlustrates this.

Eoin, I have no idea how to fix it. Just a suggestion, though: you may 
get better results from someone that actually knows what they are doing, 
if you validate the html before posting(it will not solve the problem). 
You've got an  inline element containing a block-level element-- or 
something like that, that's causing it not to validate. Also, it /might/ 
be easier to fix if the styles were embedded in the head of the 
document, instead of inline in the markup.

 Cascade style: if the #submenu is inside the #header, the #submenu is
 dripping wet under the cascade (positioning, colors, ...) of the #header.
 If the #submenu is outside the #header, it is starting it's own cascade.


oh now I see! It worked great in both Firefox and IE:

Well, the image doesn't fit any more. If you really consider the need
that some users need to blow up the text to this size, create bigger
images. However, this is the danger of these tests: Breaking them is
easy but would a needy user really need text that big or would a
screen magnifier be needed anyways?

 And, what is the best way to create those tab images?  Not just what tool,

Photoshop CS2, comes with a rounded corners shape and a good gradient
tool. Also, presets for plastic buttons.

There is also a plethora of tutorials out there:

2006-07-11 Thread MarcLuzietti
If one has watched the example you have gave closely, he sees the
button has /four/ rounded corners and each of them requires another
(and in this case: empty) html element if the button has to be fully
scalable.
==
Well, you could use JavaScript to add the extra spans, so that the HTML 
code stays neat, but
that's straying from the purpose of the list. Something like Nifty Corners 
would do it nicely.

I would note that in the original, the use of non-breaking spaces is 
redundant (and anti-standards). 
Simply adding a little padding, ala padding:0 1em; would achieve the 
effect much more gracefully.

How is the parent stylesheet loaded? I could imagine browsers having
issues if you define a stylesheet with a media indicator that loads
another stylesheet that also has a media indicator.

Makes sense to me to link the print sheet separately, so that all of
your media is organized individually.

link id=StyleSheet rel=stylesheet type=text/css media=all
href=../includes/style.css /

I do not have too much control over this - but may have some -
I did think since it has media=all that may be a problem?
It does work in FF - if I take away media=all might that work in IE then??
 - I'll try it -

thanks for any other suggestions

Neal

 issues if you define a stylesheet with a media indicator that loads
 another stylesheet that also has a media indicator.

 Makes sense to me to link the print sheet separately, so that all of
 your media is organized individually.

You might also want to try media=screen, print. If that doesn't
work, and removing media=all doesn't work, either, then you might
want to look at

link id=StyleSheet rel=stylesheet type=text/css media=all
href=../includes/style.css /
link rel=stylesheet type=text/css media=print
href=../includes/print.css /

You're right: IE won't find that stylesheet when 'media' is declared in 
an @import rule. IE is looking for a stylesheet with a completely 
different name - which of course doesn't exist. It's a bug in all 
Trident[1] based browsers - including IE7 last time I checked.

Solution: don't declare 'media' on the @import rule. Wrap the entire 
stylesheet-content in an '@media print'[2] rule instead.

Thanks Georg - I placed @ media enclose print declarations in style.css
@import url(layout.css);
@import url(modules.css);

@media print {
--declarations

}

and it works in FF and IE

I suppose the @media can't be pulled in for the print style
soemthing like this

@import url(layout.css);
@import url(modules.css);
@media print url(print.css);

??

IIRC, IE/win will mess it up.
For the record: it is this bug...
http://annevankesteren.nl/2005/10/ie-import-hack
...we're dealing with here.

I use @import without any 'media' declared, and the @media rule for
media-control inside all my (latest) stylesheets.
This allows me to have separately acting styles for more than one media
in a single stylesheet, which may come handy at times.

I then have one @import *with* 'media' declared, that I use to feed
IE-only styles without the use of conditional comments.

I was wondering if there is something I can do to make the layout seen here:

www.kitchenbarschaumburg.com

look the same across both IE and Mozzilla. I like the way it looks in Mozzilla.

Thanks.

Hi Melissa,
Welcome back. The link you gave does not seem to work, but this
sounds like a float containment problem. This article describes
the issue and has a cross-browser solution:

  http://www.positioniseverything.net/easyclearing.html

Warning: I believe that the declaration display: inline-table
should read display: inline-block. Looking over the article, some
of the text would confirm this. I seem to recall that the
inline-block value fixes it for IE7 as well.

Others may wish to correct or confirm this.

FWIW: display: inline-block validates as CSS 2.1. My experience with
the jigsaw validator is that, by default, it validates to CSS 2, which
flags inline-block as an error.

I love standards-- there are so many to choose from!  :D

Cordially, David

[css-d] Uberlinks Update

2006-07-11 Thread Al Sparber
Just a quick note that our Uberlinks CSS list menu tutorial has been 
updated. CSS has been optimized a tad and there is now an automatic 
current page link highlighter that works with a small (540byte) 
script.

http://www.projectseven.com/tutorials/css/uberlinks/index.htm

The code is still free to use on personal or commercial sites. Just 
keep the comments intact in the external CSS and script files.

Hello again, Melissa,
Sorry I got off-track with that reply. For some reason my email
client is not threading this discussion correctly.

Just to say that I would not go quite as far as Zoe and ban absolute
positioned layouts completely. My own site uses it. But that was
designed over three years ago, and much more is known and written
about float-based layouts.

The problem you have discovered is that absolutely positioned blocks
act similarly to Photoshop layers in that they act completely
independently of underlying layers. While floats also act as layers
in some respects, they do so interact with other elements on the page,
giving you much more control.

To add to the remarks about positioning, I would note that you can
also position block elements using margins.[1]

Cordially, David.

[css-d] misalignment title wrapping

2006-07-11 Thread Gwydionmom
I have a site that is *almost* done (finishing up some text mostly),  
with 2 issues that I hope are small and easy to correct.

The site is here:
http://www.d2care.org/draft.php

The first problem is with IE on Windows.  If it can be fixed without  
messing up anyone else, that would be great, but I can live with it  
if it's going to scramble the browsers that are working properly.   
Anyway, on the other browsers I've tested, the top line of the  
content is even with the top of the menu, but in IE, it's dropped  
down a bit.

The second problem might be harder to fix.  Short headings work just  
fine, but for longer ones, or if the browser window is narrow, they  
wrap.  When they wrap, the background image repeats on the second  
line, the background color and border overlap the first part of the  
heading, and the border is missing on the right of the top line and  
the left of the bottom line.  What I'd ideally like to see happen is  
that everything would stay in a nice even box with a border all the  
way around.  I've thought about setting the heading to not wrap,  
which would probably create horizontal scrolling, but I'm not sure  
that is ideal either.

Other than that, my own computer is a Mac running OSX 10.4, and the  
layout is fine on Safari 2.0, Firefox 1.5, Opera 9, and IE 5.2
The Windows XP is not mine (so I don't have all the numbers), Firefox  
is fine, and IE is OK except for the above issue.
I have a friend running 9.2 on an old Mac, and she said aol 5.0  
(which I think is basically an old version of IE) is OK, except the  
right menu is/was missing (I made a couple of changes to try to fix  
it but she hasn't looked again yet to see if that helped), and the  
site is OK on Netscape 6.
So, if anyone has the ability to check out other combos, I would very  
much appreciate any feedback.

Thanks!

Jennifer Laus

The problem is that the background-color (or -image) of the shortest

The trick is to fake column-backgrounds with a background image

again, thanks for un-stumping me! hehe
  

Yes: because the tabs a in a floating div, out of the normal flow of the 
html. A {clear: left;} in the first independent div under it lets the 
new div start below the tabs-bar.
In this case, the first div is the div class=top-left, so this class 
gets the clear and you are saved. :-)
And to get IE in line, you can place a non-breaking-space (nbsp;) 
instead of the normal space between Add and Mortgage (= compensation 
for the IE-only
fix  tabNav a {width:0.1em;} ).

[css-d] IE draws a random line through nav links issue

2006-07-11 Thread Brian Cummiskey
Hi all,

I'm working on a client website using wordpress as the back end.  I have 
highly customized the skin to make it less blog-like and more CMS-like, 
as the application suits.  I modified the menu system so that Categories 
are listed on the top nav, and Pages are listed on the secondary nav.

I have two issues with this (barebones) layout:

Issue 1:

When I met wth my client at their place the other day, I noticed for the 
first time a weird IE quirk.  When scrolling occurs, sometimes the nav 
bars when you scroll back up will have a random 1px white line through 
them.  I DON'T see it and HAVEN'T been able to reproduce this on my 
IE6/xp on my laptop, but I linked it to a buddy on the same setup who 
does see it.

To reproduce:

go to: http://www.mtcues.com/beta/category/testimonials/ (not limited to 
this page, just the longest one that should require scrolling on most 
normal resolutions) in ie6
scroll down so nav bars are out of view, scroll back up to top. 
repeat a couple times.  a white line may appear.

I'm guessing it has something to do with my a:hover thick bottom borders 
on the links, but I'm not certain.


Issue 2a:

Also only in IE, the RSS link doesn't work as a link all the time.  It's 
fine in firefox, but in IE, only parts of the link are hoverable.  I'm 
using a standard RSS icon as a background image to the list element.  
See the footer list.

Issue 2b: 

Also on this footer list, I'm using pipes as list elements, and i'd like 
to get away from this.
ie:
lione/li
li|/li
litwo/li

I would like to maintain the pipe separator, but realize that this is 
poor semantics.  Since the elements are written dynamically (login vs 
logout links, and the admin panel link if logged in as admin) i need to 
include the pipe on a per-element basis and i'm not sure how to go about 
this.



TIA,
-Brian
