Ah.

I googled and discovered that IE has a fixable bug in relation to 
content that overlaps a negative margin, which seems to be the case here...

apply position: relative; to the h5 and all will be okay.

Re: [css-d] My Last (I Think) IE7 Bug

2006-09-12 Thread Chris Williams
I fixed the silly h2li thing, don't know how that happened...
Validates now, both the HTML and the CSS.

As for negative margins...  It's funny that it works in IE7 on all
borders, except the bottom one?  This makes me think this is a red
herring...

The reason why I do it is because then I'd have to have the .box (with
no padding) and then some bogus internal container (.inbox??) that has
some margin on it.  And it would have to be everywhere there is a box
(like all over the site), as every box has this padding.  Now, *that*
seems convoluted to me.

Not that it couldn't be done, but that seems like a ridiculous thing to
do, a complete overhaul of the site, for one browser.

Thanks for the reply,
Chris

err no.

you just apply margin to the ul's, p's and hx's that you put inside the box.

I've been avoiding horizontal padding since I discovered IE5's box model 
  so it's second nature to me to think in terms of no padding on a 
container (apart from 1px top padding to prevent margin collapse) and 
then margin anything inside it away from the sides.

but hey, position:relative is your friend...

Re: [css-d] ie showing background image, but not other styles

2006-09-12 Thread Eystein Alnaes
Some other thing about your arbeidsliv page.

 I noticed that @ first load and @ refresh the page has a latency time,
 and is jumping up and down (IE6 and FF1.07 and Opera8.01 under Win98SE),
 due to the javascript for the rounded corners. And I'm guessing: that
 happens too when going from one page in the site to another.
 What about css styled corners/borders?
 Because of the fixed width, the corners can be 2 simple background
 images (or combined to 1). Quick downloaded (once), no latency, no
 jumping, and working too if browsing with disabled javascript! :-)

 Ah, and I see that with disabled js the page is missing the right blue
 margin, and has just a bit of a horizontal scrollbar: some 20px less in
 width?

 Greetings,
 francky


Thank you for the heads up. I forgot about that. This page needs to be
solid. The reason for the javascript etc. is that when I started out the
page had sort of a fluid layout (all widths set in em's), but the client
changed to fixed witdth later on. Without the javascript solution I won't
need the disabled javascript backup. Nice!

While your solution is sound (and appropriate), I'm curious as to where 
you get the impression that browsers use display: block; for img /

[css-d] Permanent change of state??

2006-09-12 Thread tedd
Hi gang:

A quick question.

Is there any way -- using just css --  that the act of moving the 
cursor over whatever can change it's state from off to on such 
that it remains on after the cursor moves off whatever?

This is what I want to do -- I want to have something that looks like 
a css menu where if you move your cursor over it, it changes to a 
background color. However, unlike a css menu, when your cursor leaves 
the menu, the menu keeps showing the background color and does not 
return to its original color. Something similar to a 
not-visited/visited link.

I'm afraid there's nothing like that in css, is there?

Re: [css-d] IE 7 and IE 6 Installs

2006-09-12 Thread Rob Wilmshurst
Ooh, I was waiting for that standalone RC1 release.

I'm currently working the other way round, with a standalone IE6 from here:
http://browsers.evolt.org/download.php?/ie/32bit/standalone/ie6eolas_nt.zip
and an installed IE7.

It's pretty painful though, as the IE version is changed in the registry 
every time you launch either version -- hours of fun!

Standalone IE7 is the easier way round I think, but I'm slightly wary as 
to its accuracy compared with a full install.

Short answer is: you can't (as far as I know).

Long answer is: you can't, and that's a good thing because a browser 
should be putting information at the disposal of the user, not the user

Re: [css-d] Safari acting up with horizontal menus

2006-09-12 Thread richard n
Well, I've almost got it figured out... Safari is now behaving the same 
as FF and Opera

I've been trying to create a menu system where the active selection is 
highlighted - but highlighted using conditional CSS, rather than 
inserting a .selected class into the HTML (i.e. the HTML for the 
navigation menu is identical for every page).

The CSS has got a lot more complicated that I had anticipated. And it's 
still not perfect (I've lost the hover effect (underline) on the lower 
level links).

Here it is:

http://www.richardnicholson.com/testing/menu/editorial.html

And the CSS:

http://www.richardnicholson.com/testing/menu/menu.css

I'm interested to know whether it works in IE 5 and IE 6 PC (I guess 
not!)

It's a bit of a mess in Mac IE 5.2.3 (sub menus overlap with main 
menus). I think the problem is with the CSS that structures the menu 
(rather than the conditional CSS the controls the menu's highlighting).

Any idea of how to fix it?

Thanks

Correct. I got the differences usually seen between standard mode and
almost standard mode in a number of browsers, mixed up with what
happened in this case - because the solution is, or can be, the same.

In the case 'display: block' fixed (one of) IE's whitespace bugs, and is
a sound, case-dependent, fix.

In other cases 'display: block' will simply solve differences seen
between the different modes - the way browsers line up images.

I invite Philippe to forward his off-list description to the list (so I

[css-d] Issues with CSS and Safari

2006-09-12 Thread Christopher Fisher
Hello,

I'm new around here, but i was hoping someone could help me with some 
CSS problems ive been having. Ive been working with CSS for a while now 
but ive never done much dealing with floats and positioning. Anyway, let 
me get to the point :)

My recent client uses Safari on a Mac, and since my development has been 
from a PC i havent had the chance to really test in that enviroment. 
Things came out pretty horrible looking on the clients machine and i was 
wondering if anyone had any good reference links to Safari issues and 
fixes for CSS.  Or if anyone has any suggestions on how to fix the 
sample page.

Heres a link to a sample page:
http://www.boldmouth.com/clients/iinstore/5/iinstore.html

Basically from what ive gathered, the floats are breaking like they did 
on IE (which i managed to finally fix in IE, altho probably not as well 
as i could have). However this is not the only issue that Safari has 
done, there was comments about images being split up and possibly 
something to do with negative top margins.  So any reference links to 
Safari issues for CSS would be greatly appericated.

Thanks in advance,
Christopher

Short answer is: you can't (as far as I know).

Long answer is: you can't, and that's a good thing because a browser
should be putting information at the disposal of the user, not the user
at the disposal of the web site.

[css-d] Why does border change positioning?

2006-09-12 Thread Bill Moseley
This seems very familiar, and I'm sure will be obvious,  but I'm
trying to understand why adding a border is changing the size of a
div.

On this page:  http://infopeople.org/search/tools.html

And I'm looking specifically at this code:

div class=logo clearfix
a href=/img src=/images/ifp_logo_drkblue_orange_arr.gif 
alt=Infopeople.org //a
h1Best Search Tools/h1
/div

There's this in-line style:

#searchtools .logo {
border: 1px solid red;
}

In firefox, when I change the ID to not match then the logo div gets
bigger and then the h1 text moves relative to the image.

Can someone explain that behavior (or point me where I can read about
it)?

Thanks,

[css-d] Problem with margins and IE

2006-09-12 Thread Bernat Lleonart
Hello,

I'm stuck with what seems a simple problem, but I can't find the
solution. I have a container and two div's inside it, one is floated
left (and it has a left margin), and the other is floated right (and
it has a right margin).

While FF renders everything correctly, IE doen't respect the margins.

Here's the code:

*

floated elements with a defined width trigger a doubled margin bug in 
IE, making them too wide for your container no doubt.

 the specifications, either.

 Correct. I got the differences usually seen between standard mode  
 and
 almost standard mode in a number of browsers, mixed up with what
 happened in this case - because the solution is, or can be, the same.

 In the case 'display: block' fixed (one of) IE's whitespace bugs,  
 and is
 a sound, case-dependent, fix.

 In other cases 'display: block' will simply solve differences seen
 between the different modes - the way browsers line up images.

 I invite Philippe to forward his off-list description to the list  
 (so I
 don't have to), to eliminate any confusion I may have introduced on  
 this
 matter.

I have to do the copy pasting then, uhuh ? :-)

Right, then. Some short notes about a behaviour that confused Georg  
and maybe some other people.
In whatever mode: quirks mode, 'almost standard' mode (transitional  
doctype), standards mode (Strict doctype), images are always inline  
elements by default (because that is how the html4.0 describes them).
But in quirks mode and 'almost standard' mode, in some cases images  
behave slightly differently, depending on the environment. The  
difference is about where the image rest.

Images are treated as inline, but behave like Quirks mode does in the  
following case: when the image is the only element in a (pseudo)- 
block element, then the (fictional) baseline that may be generated is  
ignored. Mostly the case of images in table-cell. This may give the  
impression that the image is not an inline element in this case.

If the image is part of a line of text (word word [image] word word),  
then they are 'pulled upwards' and rest on the baseline. At least  
that is what Gecko does. Safari behaves the same in this regard.
And that is about the only reason reason why that almost standard  
mode was introduced.

Try little files to illustrate:
almost standard:
http://dev.l-c-n.com/_georg/inline-image1.html
standard:
http://dev.l-c-n.com/_georg/inline-image2.html
quirks:
http://dev.l-c-n.com/_georg/inline-image3.html

Because, in the CSS box model, that is what it is supposed to do.
Also adding padding changes the size on screen of an element.

If you have a DIV that is 100px wide with a 2px border and 10px of
padding that div will be 100 +4 +20 = 124 px wide.  That's the way the
standard is written and browsers that comply with the standard do it
that way.

 Heres a link to a sample page:
 http://www.boldmouth.com/clients/iinstore/5/iinstore.html

 Basically from what ive gathered, the floats are breaking like they  
 did
 on IE (which i managed to finally fix in IE, altho probably not as  
 well
 as i could have). However this is not the only issue that Safari has
 done, there was comments about images being split up and possibly
 something to do with negative top margins.  So any reference links to
 Safari issues for CSS would be greatly appericated.

Well, you don't specify a width on #content, which is floated. For  
some reason, the computed width of that div is 774 px in Safari.  
Declare a width for it, and it will work well.
I suspect the fact that you use a transitional doctype may have  
something to do it with it. I've noticed some glitches in Safari with  
that mode. But I never really analysed those. I only use strict  
doctypes.

General issue, you should check your layout at different font-sizes.
My browsers are set to use a minimum font-size of 12px, and a few  
things end up elsewhere than you expected.

Hi Betsy,
If you turn on the Outline  Outline Block Level Elements in the FF 
Webdeveloper toolbar [1], you 'll see immediately what is happening: 
some of the picture boxes have a different height, and a next box can 
not float back to the left of the page; it just has to stop floating to 
where the right side of the large box is ending.
See screenshot 
http://home.tiscali.nl/developerscorner/css-discuss/images/screenshot-savannah.jpg.
To get the photo's in pairs: you can make a class=leftclear with

.leftclear {clear: left;}

and place that after each pair of photo containers:

div class=float
img src=image1.jpg
p class=captionA, B and C/p
/div

div class=float
img src=image2.jpg
p class=captionD, E and F/p
/div

div class=float leftclear
img src=image3.jpg
p class=captionG and H/p
/div

div class=float
img src=image4.jpg
p class=captionI, J, K and L/p
/div

div class=float leftclear
img src=image5.jpg
p class=captionM and N are a pair/p
/div
div class=float
img src=image6.jpg
p class=captionMore pairs/p
/div
  

Then the bottom of each pair wil get the level of the lowest one of 
both, and the new pair can start at the real left side. :-)

Re: [css-d] I'm lost on this IE glitch, help appreciated

2006-09-12 Thread Mark Henderson
From: Stuart Swan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] 
 Hi List,
 
 I've come across an error in IE, on this page 
 http://www.stuartswan.com/v6/index.php on the part that says 'You are
 in: Home' it has a background image 400 pixels wide, in 
 Firefox it looks perfect and attaches to both sidebars nicely 
 but in IE it has a bit of padding on either side.

Hi Stuart

I see your problem hasn't been resolved yet. This should help you out:
http://www.positioniseverything.net/explorer/threepxtest.html

You have a (left) float on your leftsidebar and a margin on your content
div to position it adjacent to the sidebar. This is what triggers the
bug. If you add more text to your content div you'll see the text jog in
action (or rather, the jog will disappear) once it goes down below the
left navigation. The above link has a solution that should implement
fine on your current page, but if you have trouble write back and I (or
another list member) will help you out. I'm at work right now so I don't
have much time to spare I'm afraid. 

HTH
Mark

[css-d] Table vs. CSS when decorative graphic required?

2006-09-12 Thread Anne E. Shroeder
I'm scratching my head over this one.  I've got two different versions, one 
using a table and one using CSS to layout the bars, but in neither case can 
I achieve a consistent underline across the screen as required.  See 
http://www.language-works.com/swimdesign/no-tables.htm  for the two 
versions, plus the graphic mockup which I'm trying to imitate!  I greatly 
appreciate any insights.  Can this even be done?

Welcome, Keno.

FF and Opera are right, #page does not contain the floating columns #c1, 
#c2, #c3, therefore, it is not expanded by them and gets no height.

See the wiki page and read the containing floats article.

 I initially created the site and tested it in IE where my   
 images/pagebg4.jpg   background repeats ok

Understanding CSS-concepts like floating is easier if you start creating 
your site in FF or Opera.

Yes, but the html needs to change.  Getting the html well structured 
before working on the css often helps stabilize the design.  Also, 
using good html markup will help users with css turned off and users 
with devices that don't support css.  Not to mention that using valid, 
well structured markup helps browsers render your page more 
consistently.

Try something like this...

div class=tabnavbar
!-- h3 is arbitrary, use whatever header makes sense within the rest 
of the document --
h3Regions:/h3
ul
  lia href=spanNorth America/span/a/li  !-- lose the 
spans if possible --
  lia href=spanAsia/span/a/li
  lia href=spanEurope/span/a/li
  lia href=spanAll/span/a/li
/ul
form name=form2 method=post action=
  select name=select size=1
   option selectedChoose a Sector/option
   option value=Sector 1Sector 1/option
   option value=Sector 2Sector 2/option
  /select
/form
/div
div class=tabnavbar
h3Products:/h3
ul
  lia href=spanRisk Diagnostic/span/a/li
  lia href=spanIRAPS/span/a/li
  lia href=spanPortfolio Monitoring/span/a/li
  lia href=spanBespoke/span/a/li
  lia href=spanEducational/span/a/li
/ul
/div

Given that markup (which is usable unstyled too) the bottom blue line 
you are having trouble with is as easy as

.tabnavbar {
   border-bottom: 1px solid;
}

If you choose to use this markup and have difficulty applying your 
other styles to it, let me know and I'll see if I can help.
