Good use of col but I'm afraid that Firefox (and Opera) are
following the spec. [1] and IE is not, e.g. see [2] which links to a
nice explanation at [3] -- only border, background, width  visibility
can be applied to col and colgroup columns [1].

The css-d wiki [2] suggests some alternatives that you could use, e.g.
combining CSS2 selectors and IE-specific rules.

For forwards compatibility with IE7 [4] you're usually recommended to
use conditional comments to hide the IE-only stylesheet /but/ I've no
idea if IE7 will preserve the ability to apply more than the 4
properties to columns -- anyone?

Re: [css-d] Sliding door rounded corner boxes

2006-08-15 Thread Pete Home
Thanks again Francky,

I didn't even think the images were too small! I will look further at your
example soon, but have to move on.

The extra mark-up in the CSS file are for other pages. All pages will have a
menu bar, header and border surrounding the content. The content will either
be split further by using some more of the positioning or like the two
examples so far, just a simple div or two. If you have a look at some of the
other pages on the site (all table based, none of which I coded!) you will
see some of the structures I've started coding the CSS for.

However, the bottom of the two pages so far are still a mess, I cannot use a
single image (customer says so) for the shop div so I tried setting one as a
background image shifted left and the img in the div floated right. However,
the right-hand edge gets pushed out and the background image does not show
at all!

Finally, I have to get the pages working in IE, the customer couldn't give a
damn about standards, they use IE and believe that every one but a few do
(98.6% of all visitors to their site!). But I want to understand the reasons
there are differences and try and make them work in all browsers, even at
the expense of a little more effort.

Pete

Aha! Don't give up! Assumption wrong...
I took some screen shots, and yes:

  font-size normal in FF),

   1. extending the images in height, for the method is based upon

As I said 13-08 (or 08-13):

enough height of the box_bottomleft.gif and box_bottomright.gif.

Method 2 is used in my earlier testpage c

Thanks, Francky

I don't want to abuse your goodwill, but I am now having problems with my 
SECOND site. This site looks a lot like the first one, since the two are twin 
sites and requested an identical look (school site and PTA site). 
This is an IE issue. The content does not render (paint) on the page until 
the user highlights the area with the cursor. Hovering over the area is not 
enough, you have to click and hold the cursor as if highighting a block of 
text. This reveals the hidden content in the bodyof the page, and sometimes in 
the header as well.

I have seen descriptions of this bug somewhere but nothing that seems to apply 
to my site. Any help will be appreciated.

Hi Christine,
First thing I tried was working :-) : add {position: relative}[1] to the 
#Header and the #contentHome: testpage 
http://home.tiscali.nl/developerscorner/css-discuss/test-ElCarmeloElementary.htm.

Greetings,
Francky

Btw: the Links of Interest sidebar is peeping out of the page 
background in FF - maybe a {float: right} for the sidebar is better than 
{position:absolute}, which is placing it out of the normal flow. The 
sidebar html can be placed then just after the left-floating 
#navigation, making space for the content in between. The content can 
get a margin-right with some more of the width of the sidebar, to stay 
in it's column. - I hope. ;-)

[css-d] Safari issue with background images

2006-08-15 Thread Richard Sandilands
I'm having an issue with Safari not displaying various background  
images.

The site is http://www.smashjobs.com and the issue is intermittent -  
it does not happen in my development environment using lighttpd as a  
server, but only occurs on the remote server.

For instance, at present I can see the background images in the  
header at the above homepage, but not at this page: http:// 
www.smashjobs.com/advertisements/show/16

The xhtml and the CSS validates, although is a little messy in parts.

Any clues would be appreciated.

 Hi Sandra,
 Euh, maybe also the eyes of the html-validator can help? ;-)
 html-validator analyse 

http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.keshavhowe.com%2F7%2Findex.php.

Right - I'm fully aware of this forum and their near constant advice to
validate first before posting.

So I did. 

I validated amap pages before I wrote this forum. The errors remaining
on the pages I'm living with for the moment. For example - that I
declare the same content div id twice in the main page is non-impacting
my issue with the menu in the header. I will address eventually
however. I am aware of the validator and its place in my work product.

 And, oops, the css-validator 
http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?profile=css2warning=2uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.keshavhowe.com%2F7%2Fcss%2Fkeshav.css?

Again, the validator report items that are non-impacting to the menu. I
have the menu in separate page files, in separate css files, in
separately named css classes  ids, so it's very easy to focus just on
it's performance without my pulling in every piece of code for the
entire site.

And yes, of course - the validator picked up my IE hacks, my EOT font
use, my hack for opacity, etc. Yet none of my IE hacks are in question
for me in writing this - I'm looking to center in Firefox.

Fine.

FYI: at least some of us can see the difference between what matters and
what doesn't, and you're right: 'technical validation'[1] doesn't help
one bit for your layout-problems.

The fact that you are misusing elements and styling for IE, can't be
picked up by any validator. Almost anything can be made to pass those
validators without being in accordance with standards and without
working as expected. Thus, it's of no use to talk about 'technical
validation' here.


Regarding your centering-problem:

1: IE/win isn't centering anything properly - not before and not now.
It's just jumping between its own bugs and non-standard behavior in ways
no other browser can replicate.

2: Given the same conditions and proper styling: Firefox 1.5.0.6 is
lining up the essential parts like IE6 - minus the annoying jumping and
other IE-bugs. It even makes the hut appear at exactly the same
window-width as IE6 does. Same in other browsers.
You have not added the suggested styles, so Firefox isn't given anything
to act on. Firefox doesn't have, and can't replicate, IE's bugs and
non-standard behavior. It needs proper styling.

3: You clearly can't, or won't, test beyond fairly limited
window-dimensions and conditions, so it's of no use to point out
avoidable design-weaknesses. They will end up at the user-end no matter
what.

The solution is to either live with an only works as expected in some
versions of IE design, add some styling and make it work somewhat in
most browsers, or to re-think and re-do the entire layout in accordance
with standards and make it work more or less everywhere.

 tweaked to actually center the bullet

 see:
 http://css.maxdesign.com.au/listamatic/vertical05.htm
   

This works if the text is only one line long. If it wraps onto two or 
more lines, the background image is going to be centered in regards to 
the entire height of the list item, which is probably not what you want. 
I recommend using a small em value, like .3em, to nudge your background 
image down and keep it roughly centered with the first line of text no 
matter how many more come after it.

Yes, I remember the painful decision to step away from standards
everywhere with this client. It's a kludge at this point. I agree. 

This layout is definitely killing some end user experiences.
Client-insistence is strong in favor for the too dark, line reading
width too long.  Only IE 6 and above, if that. No screen readers...
100% fluid width not consistent. 

No 800px, not even 1024! I butchered a full working standards-template
to get it to this current beauty.

Yes IE jumps... Barely getting just FF  IE addressed. Statistics show
50-50% these 2, with 1% other browser use likely generated from
testing, 1% IE 5 not past 2001.

Definitely at the work somewhat stage.

I've now decided to do a major pruning and just go back to a
only-for-FF story board with header-footer, otherwise empty
body/wrapper. I'll post if success. Yes weird on the earlier del
comment, it was a early AM hack for IE, it has to go anyway for even a
minimal degrade to work at this point.

OK, I seem to have sorted out most things, with only a couple of small

I now have 3 pages, www.cityboxer.com/gambling/betting.htm and
www.cityboxer.com/gambling/betting2.htm have similar problems with the
bottom #shop etc

www.cityboxer.com/newsite/contact/contact_form/register_form1.asp seems to
be expanded vertically for some reason which is causing the same problem

 http://bugzilla.opendarwin.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3237
 still wrong in Safari 2.0.4
 
 Fixed in current nightly builds.
 
 
 Unrelated to this, you should not use inline styles.

Ok, you may use inline styles to taste.

It would be nice to get a reply if my 15 min to search your bug did help.

[css-d] DIV spacing renders differently in IE and Firefox

2006-08-15 Thread Janet Chang
I can't for the life of me seem to figure out why the spacing between 
certain DIVs in the web page I'm working on are rendering differently in IE 
and Firefox.

Sample page: http://www3.law.northwestern.edu/faculty/profiles/JamesSpeta/

The spacing between the last list item in Areas of Expertise and the 
Courses heading (and between the last item under Courses and the 
Publications heading) should be the same as the spacing separating the 
rest of the sections lower down on the page.

The way it looks in IE 6 is the way I want it to look. However, in Firefox, 
the top three sections are squished together. If I add spacing to 
accommodate Firefox, then there is too much space in IE.

I have a feeling the issue has to do with some conflict between the section 
div and the 2-column divs I'm using under Areas of Expertise and 
Courses, but I can't figure out how to fix it. I don't think this is 
related to the box model problem, though, as my column divs only have width 
set and the problem is in the top/bottom spacing not left/right.

Any ideas for how I can get it to match across browsers?

[css-d] Relative Positioning / Floats and Document Flow

2006-08-15 Thread Jason Manaigre

Hi everyone, I've got a bit of funk on my hands.

http://test.iisd.org/revamp/

The issue is with the 'Our Knowledge' link it turns on a hidden div
using JavaScript.

The problem is, it takes up all space in the regular document flow,
which is no good. I just want it to float.

I wanted to use relative positioning so that when the browser resizes,
the div is in the proper location.

Which isn't the case with an absolutely positions div.

Any ideas people?

The CSS file is here http://test.iisd.org/revamp/main.css

I gata be doing something dumb here... 


Thanks for any info.

Yes, IE got it wrong, as the 'width' acts as a 'hasLayout'[1] trigger,
making it expand the containers.

Add (as a test)...

div#content div {overflow: hidden; *overflow: visible;}

...which will make it appear as you want.

Then use the most suitable one of the properties that enforces a
'block formatting context'[2] in standard-compliant browsers, only to
the correct containers. That'll give you a match.

Thanks for the reply. I tried that, too, but it also increased the space 
between the lower sections so that they remained uneven with that of the 
top three sections.

As another course of action, I tried deleting clear:both in my div.section, 
and instead added a br / tag after the Areas of Expertise and Courses 
sections and set br {clear: both} in my CSS.

Now it looks correct in Firefox, but the spacing is too narrow in IE (!?!)

[css-d] Safari screw up

Usually Safari is the browser that works for everything, but the  
following page works on Mac versions of FF and IE perfectly and  
completely breaks on Safari.  I have validated both the xhtml and the

absolute positioning.  I've gone over and over the code, pulling  
sections and looking for small errors and can find nothing.

have removed, though it causes the same problem regardless of the  
extension or the code.)

 Anyway, the addition above will make Firefox line up that menu like
 IE6 does on any screen from around 540 to well above 3800 in
window-width - with the exception of a few exclusive IE-bugs and the
fact that IE6 is fed differently arranged source-code.

Georg - it's centered now on both. Thank you. Your code centered on FF,
uncentered on IE (which is better! I agree with all the comments here
noticing that my IE code is hack atop of hack.). 

I took off the width:100%, and the IE went back to its error-proned
jump to center yet the FF stayed put (centered). So both centered.
Super.

I limp forward. I severely regret abandoning my tried  true design
practices for this client friend back in February. 

If you looked at the running site http://www.keshavhowe.com you'll see
just how far his true tastes weren't being reflected in his beta blue
site (the site helped with, on its /7/ seventh iteration...)

At least now I have a good story to tell in upcoming semester classes

The never-ending kludge... why to run lean and mean from the get-go.

Yes, I remember the painful decision to step away from standards
everywhere with this client. It's a kludge at this point. I agree. 

This layout is definitely killing some end user experiences.
Client-insistence is strong in favor for the too dark, line reading
width too long.  Only IE 6 and above, if that. No screen readers...
100% fluid width not consistent. 

No 800px, not even 1024! I butchered a full working standards-template
to get it to this current beauty.
  

Hi Sandra,
Yes, client is king; but he should know the visitor has to be the 
emperor - in case the goal is to attract reading visitors, and not to 
have a beauty of a site under some special conditions... *)

Yes IE jumps... Barely getting just FF  IE addressed. Statistics show
50-50% these 2, with 1% other browser use likely generated from
testing, 1% IE 5 not past 2001.

Definitely at the work somewhat stage.

I've now decided to do a major pruning and just go back to a
only-for-FF story board with header-footer, otherwise empty
body/wrapper. I'll post if success. Yes weird on the earlier del
comment, it was a early AM hack for IE, it has to go anyway for even a
minimal degrade to work at this point.
  

I was looking for the FF-center-problem, and isolating the menu I 
discovered:

* It is also IE which doesn't center the menu-items properly. That
  becomes visible if the site is viewed in 1024x768px: then the
  Testimonials item is on the 2nd line, but on the left side
  instead of centered.
* Made a 1st testpage
  http://home.tiscali.nl/developerscorner/css-discuss/test-keshav-a.htm.
  Result (viewed in 1280x1024px without a sidebar): in FF the menu
  has a gap at the right side, the second line is leftsided.
  Though in IE the menu is centered (and the second line leftsided too).
* Then made a 2nd testpage
  http://home.tiscali.nl/developerscorner/css-discuss/test-keshav-b.htm.
  Only difference: replaced the del.../del by a normal
  div.../div set.
  Result: in FF exactly the same as the first testpage.
  IE however is now acting in the same way as FF.

My conclusions:

* It is pure coincidence that IE is centering with the del-hack.
  And: the del-hack is only partially: at wrapping because of a
  smaller window the second line is not centered.
* The centering of all containers around the menu-ul is perfect in
  both testpages in all browsers (as in the original), just doing
  what is expected according to the w3c rules.
* It must be the positioning of the list-items inside the menu-ul.
  Indeed a common css problem, and no direct relationship with any
  validation. ;-)

So I think the centering problem can be solved, with for example the 
Sons of Suckerfish as a good starting point.
Must be possible for FF and IE and others as well - with some special 
arrangements for ... (guess who) IE. :-)
See testpage Centered Suckerfish 
http://home.tiscali.nl/developerscorner/css-discuss/test-suckerfish-centered.htm.
**)
It doesn't say everything, like Georg pointed, but ... it validates 
(html and css).

Greetings,
francky

btw: Maybe there can be saved some download time, if you make a div 
around the header and the menu together, and put 1 combined mountain 
image in it as background.

The website in this way is the opposite of his own philosophy:
So, let go of the strategies to control and manipulate life and simply 
let it be.
(...) Together we can play in the Dream of Unity that has been here all 
long!

Unity in terms of who?
Prescribing:
- I've to buy a monitor 1280x1024+ if I haven't,
- I've to set my resolution (or min. window size) on 1280x1024+ if I 
haven't,
- I've to (install and) see the site in IE if it's not my default browser,
- I've to set the font size at normal to get a proper display, even if 
I can't read the text then,
- I've to install the latest FLASH player if I haven't,
- I've to mouse over the whole screen to see of there are some hidden links,
- and so on ...

I couldn't test IE7; IE6 on Win is o.k., like FF1.07 and Opera8.01.

Unfortunately, valid files are no guarantee that a site will actually 
work, function, and be usable cross-browser. The problem is the use of 
absolute positioning to layout the page. And while it may seem to you to 
be only a Safari problem, I regret that that is just not so. A simple 
float layout will handle that content without any problem. No absolute 
positioning is necessary. A simple structural layout test is to zoom the 
fonts to 200%. In xp ff, this turns your page into quite a turmoil. Even 
though the fonts are frozen in ie6.0, the page bears no resemblance to 
its compliant browser sisters. While it may be a difficult pill to 
swallow--  personally, I'd consider a less ambitious, but workable 
cross-browser solution that doe not include absolute positioning.

[css-d] input question

2006-08-15 Thread Donna Jones
Hi folks:

I have a question/issue with this page:

http://www.maineddc.org/draft/index.htm

I decided to switch my doctype from 4.01 transitional to 4.01 strict. 
Which ended up with me getting lots of errors on the two forms.  The two 
forms are the search from WebSide Story and the javascipt style switcher 
from A List Apart (which used xhtml transitonal, btw).

so, the validator essentially said i had to enclose all inputs in a 
block element.  I did something weird, maybe creative?, i made a 
division called class=null and didn't put anything in the css for it. 
  Of course, it was then displayed as a block, which i didn't want, so I 
just said display: inline in the css.

Everything is fine now, but I'm sure I'm missing something theory or 
something about how I should have dealt with this.  and doubt very much 
that i've done it the best way.

I wondered if I should have used labels, but ran it through Cynthia 
before making the changes and it didn't say anything about that.

thanks very much for helping me correct my errant ways.

Donna

[css-d] Shrinking the Browser causes layout problems...

2006-08-15 Thread .m. aquilina
Hi,

I finally got my layout to work in IE, FireFox and Netscape (have yet to 
check in on Safari), and was feeling pretty excited about having figured out 
how to use css.. until I discovered that if i shrunk my browser, the content 
to the right shifted right over the left content.  They overlapped on to 
each other.

Is there some way of fixing this?  Ideally if the browser was minimized I 
would like the page to still be legible by using the browser scroll on the 
bottom.  I'm guessing from what I researched over the Internet it may have 
something to do with the position or float tag.   If somebody could 
please direct me I'd super grateful.

Here's what my code looks like. My layout is just a 2 column page with a 
boarder around it. Content on the left, and content on the right.

style type=text/css

body {
margin: 0px 0px 0px 0px;
padding: 0px;
}

#left {
width: 265px;
position:absolute;
border-left:1px solid silver;
border-bottom:1px solid silver;
border-top: 1px solid silver;
padding-bottom:20px;
height:398px;
margin-left: 180px;
margin-top: 30px;
}

#right {
 width:590px;
 position: absolute;
 border-right:1px solid silver;
 border-top: 1px solid silver;
 border-bottom:1px solid silver;
 padding-bottom:20px;

 margin-left: 27%;
 margin-top: 30px;
 margin-right:17%;

[css-d] splunk - splash page typo-effect

2006-08-15 Thread Rodrigo Alexandre
You might already know Splunk - www.splunk.com -, but this is
something new for me. What brings it to the discussion here has
nothing to do with the system itself, though i would be glad to haer
about it as well. Have you noticed how the word in What's xx in
your IT infrastructure today? swaps from time to time, simulating an
ongoing writting on the screen? But if you check the code, there's
nothing like an animated gif or something, but just plain html text.
How do they do that? Any ideas?
Rodrigo

Re: [css-d] Site Check

Hi Richard,
You wrote:

 I am building a three column site at:
 http://kites.swmug.co.uk/
 http://kites.swmug.co.uk/wp-content/themes/kites/style.css

 The middle column seems to be disappearing. Can people see in it in
 Internet Explorer please and if not why is it disappearing please?

Yes, I see it. It has dropped below the surrounding columns.
I think the problem is the legend in the fieldset. Opera breaks it up
in order to make room between the outer columns. Firefox expands
the center column into the right one, as per spec. IE expands the
width of the column, so it drops.

Try making the legend shorter and see if that works. If it does, be
aware that any increase in text size by the visitor may again make
it too long, with similar results.

Cordially, David.

Re: [css-d] input question

2006-08-15 Thread Donna Jones
(sigh, realized i answered Georg instead of replying to the list - 
someday i'll learn.  pasting, re-sending.)


  http://www.maineddc.org/draft/index.htm

  Everything is fine now, but I'm sure I'm missing something theory or 
something about how I should have dealt with this.  and doubt very much 
that i've done it the best way.
 
  Not too many ways to do it, and yours is as good as any :-)
  Any block-element will do (in theory at least), so we just pick the one
  that makes most sense in each case.


Wow, that's a surprise, thanks Georg!

Why does input have to be enclosed in a block level element though?  It 
just occurred to me that maybe input is inline 

Well, I just consulted Eric's main css book and couldn't find an 
answer though it does look like input is a replaced element.  So, does 
it have to do with inline and replaced elements not being in the clear?

cheers
Donna

Re: [css-d] image map in fluid layout and site check please

Miki, you seem to have lost the 'usemap' attribute from your IMG tag!

You have triggered the extreme font resizing bug in IE[1]. Adding
a 100% font-size declaration to the BODY selector should fix it.

Let us know if you run into problems with CSS. Good luck.

Cordially, David.

I have no idea. Fortunately, I can make it stop by disabling javascript 
(or simply leaving their site as quickly as possible).

[css-d] IE spacing problems on nav list

2006-08-15 Thread Liz
Hello,

I'm trying to revise a list I got from Listamatic. There, the list has no
space between the links.

I added margin-bottom: 8px; to #navcontainer a to get the space I want
between the background blocks.  The space is the way I want it on Safari and
FireFox but way too spread out vertically on IE on the PC.  How can I get
the space I want to work it least closely on all (modern) browsers?

sample is http://www.liztestsite.com/kh/sample.html

Thanks in advance,

Liz
