Re: [css-d] Site Check and suggestions

2006-12-13 Thread Chris Broadfoot
Giovanni,

 Hi all, I need some suggestions for this page I designed:
 http://adriaticamalagoli.it/cerco
 
 1) Do you think I implemented the form correctly? I used a lot of css and
 the end result is a table. Maybe I could use a table there?

The form looks great on XP/FF2. However as I don't speak Italian I can't
really comment on it's implementation.

I would steer away from using a table due to accessibility issues associated
with tables and forms.

 2) What do you think of the overall design?

The design is quite nice

However - the aspect of scrolling past the table sees a completely different
set of content.

Again I can't comment due to lack of Italian, but I would reconsider your
navigation, or at least make the positioning of logo/nav/content more
obvious to users.

Regards,

Chris

 Actually, the float trick works in all modern browsers here. And ,
 when you think of it, it is kind of logical: (when) the floated block
 has no width specified, and expands to fit the content, the same way
 as it would shrink to fit if the table (or other contents) were very
 small.

The logic is clear.
However, I observed that Firefox 2.0 (locally on win2K) did not behave
as expected with only the float trick (tested back and forth several
times to make sure), hence the proposed double-styling.

Broken logic or erratic behavior in that Firefox version. I don't think
there are any problems with leaving both properties open to all
browsers, but this is one of the combinations that Gecko has shown
erratic behavior for in earlier cases.

 First problem: The footer div with an image doesn't show in Opera, 
 have tried everything to no avail.

It's all the way at the top of the page - with image and all, hidden
behind the other elements. No surprise, as absolute positioned elements
can't be cleared.

Try adding...
div#footer {
position: relative;
z-index: 10;
}
...and you'll see where it is.

Looks like Firefox is just placing the footer at the bottom by pure
chance, as it doesn't react on the applied styles either.

 Second: The page is a shopping cart and each product is within a div 
 with a class attribute which in turn is inside a content div (named 
 ufwus). The second product shows outside of the ufwus div and without
 the fonts etc.

Might be the 'missing /div before /form', or any of the other errors
the validator is complaining about.

 http://www.seco.com.au/cart.html

Too many source-code errors to do any serious browser-debugging.
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http://www.seco.com.au/cart.html
There should not be a single source-code error with that doctype, if you
want some cross-browser consistency. You should clean it up to an
error-free level - maybe apart from the embed.

  Generally, I like to add a style rule for regular TRs and then a class for
either TR.odd or TR.even (whichever you'd like).

  tr{
 background-color: #eee;
  }
  tr.odd{
 background-color: #ccc;
  }

  This way, you only need to print out the 'class=odd' on the odd rows,
which makes your pages smaller and perhaps less complicated.

 1a.  There's something crazy (or at least unexplainable by me) going

 to go about fixing it if that is the problem. Each  h3  border gets
 pulled further to the left by the negative margin I've set, but the
 setting for the negative margin does not change. I hope that makes
 sense.

IE6 lose track of what to calculate the margins from and position the
elements in relation to.

Adding a 'hasLayout'[1] trigger to the container...
#main {zoom: 1;}
...will give IE something to hold on to.


 1b.I think I have the selectors wrong for the list under Heading 3,
  but I have tried every combination I can think of. I want the bullet
  to change from a disc to a circle on :hover. Plus, in IE, each  li 
 is repositioned when it's hovered for the first time... ?! The same 
 repositioning happens with the navigation list, except it is the 
 border on div#main that is repositioned when you :hover over the nav 
 list.

#main ul li:hover {/* styles here */}
...will give you some styling-options. IE6 (and older) can't handle
:hover on anything but anchors though.

Another 'Layout'[1] problem in IE. Add...
#main ul li {zoom: 1;}
...to stiffen up IE's backbone. That'll provide stability in that bugger.

 See the code here: http://www.accellart.com/test/crazy_borders.htm
 
 
 2. I know IE handles positioning different, but I still can't get 
 this little back box to stay fixed on the page in IE. In FF, it 
 stays nicely static while scrolling, but in IE, it scrolls away with
  the page.

IE6 (and older win versions) can't handle 'position: fixed' at all.
Some possible workarounds here...

 answer is usually posted within minutes. Does anyone ever get annoyed
 at stupid questions? (I'm a teacher, and I always tell my students
 there aren't stupid questions, but I know there are. :) ) In other
 words, why are you here helping people, and do you really not mind?

There are no stupid questions, only stupid answers (which I am an expert

Better correct the above, as asking for logic behind a browser-failure,

Re: [css-d] Using an Image in a H1 tag

2006-12-13 Thread George Ornbo
 Hi
 
 I am trying to use the following css to replace the  h1 text with the
 logo.gif graphic, however the text 'Restaurant' is  still appearing on
 top of the
 logo.gif graphic?
 
 What do I need to add to my css to get rid of this ?
 _


 Hi Ian,
 Try Restaurant inside the span/span, delete the second /a, and
 add a style:

 #header span { margin-left: -px; }




Here's my take on it - you don't need the span:

CSS
---
#logo
{
width:200px; /* the width of your logo */
height: 120px; /* the height of your logo */
float: left;
text-align:left;
text-indent:-px;
 }


#logo h1 a
{
width:200px; /* the width of your logo */
height: 120px; /* the height of your logo */
background: url(/images/your_logo.png) 0 0 no-repeat;
float:left;
 }

XHTML
-
div id=logo
h1a href=/ title=Your title hereLovely content for
Google/a/h1
/div

Does the same job with slightly less code.

Cheers
George

There is no css-only way until browsers will support css3. You should
go the php way and generate different classes for the alternating
rows.

OK.

 I'd suggest turning of the full justification on the text in your
 column. You don't have enough words, the column is too narrow, browsers
 generally don't microspace, AND computer screens don't really have
 enough resolution to do full-justified text properly.
 
 I didn't think it looked too bad for that one paragraph. Perhaps I will
 left-justify.

I may depend on visitor's font sizes and such. On my display, there were 
big gaps between words that looked bad.

 In fact, the previous person who had worked on the site had every single

Hi Tom,
AFAIK, I'm afraid not: the styles of the script are heavily interfering 
with the page styles, and it is a rather complicated (: long loading!) 
script.
Maybe you can isolate the included part totally from the normal page, 
use it as a separated page, and put it in place by an iframe. Then the 
main style cannot influence the menu styles.

* QckDrty raw testpage

Additional styling of the include and the normal page will be needed (I

The above CSS, or something similar, is the only way to accomplish this

way to distinguish one from another, except as siblings, but that would 
involve too many crazy sibling selectors. Just pointing out the logic 
behind CSS's inability to handle this task best left to programming in 
case anyone decides to malign my precious CSS2 for it. ;-) As Martin 
Heiden pointed out, CSS3 will be able to handle this, though.

Hi Robin,

Had a quick look, the tables and layout seem to be consistent across the 
browsers i checked in, Opera, IE6/7, FF1.5 and 2.0. One thing I noticed 
is the quotes under the heading have backslashes to escape certain 
single quotes, i guess it's because they're written out by php. Is it 
possible you don't need them or could you use a html entity instead like 
lsquo; or prime;?

As for the border extending down try placing the overflow: hidden; rule 
on #SOWrap and see if that helps. I notice that in IE6 also while the 
page doesn't scroll as far as in IE7 the border still extends to the 
bottom of the body, hopefully whatever fixes IE7 will fix this too. 
Watch out for other IE bugs this may cause though. Sorry I can't be more 
help.
Hopefully Georg can answer that one properly =]

Hi Ian,

 tr .even{background:#eee}
 tr.odd{background:#F9FBF9}

It's not because of the space before '.even' is it?
Will that not affect children of the tr, rather than the tr itself?

Of course, it could just be that Thunderbird is messing with me this

[css-d] Need help and some criticism for layout!

2006-12-13 Thread Todd Hayes
Hello all, first time poster and first full CSS/XHTML layout, so be kind!
Here's the site:

http://www.michaellawrencenewton.com

Here's some of my own complaints:

The client doesn't mind the glitches in IE5/5.5 for Mac (the menu at the
bottom shifts to the left and top, especially in widescreen browsers), but I
do.

I can't seem to get the overall layout to stretch vertically to the bottom
of the screen in larger-width. If I don't have enough content to stretch the
height of the page, how do I set the height in the style sheet without
blowing out the layout?

I wanted to make a 2-column layout out of the Words page, but I can't seem
to make it work. When I made the maincontent div a container with 2 content
divs inside, the divs didn't work as columns, even with floats left and
right.

Of course it looks fine in Firefox, but IE5/5.5 for Windows looks a little
different. Again, the client doesn't care as long as he's live. I'm trying
to understand how the hacks for IE work, but I still don't fully understand
how they work.

Thank you all in advance for your input!

Todd

Keepin existing styles as is, and placing the following addition _after_
existing styles for #SOWrap, should fix IE6 and IE7 - without disturbing
any other browser...

* html #SOWrap {overflow-y: hidden; /* for IE6 */}

*:first-child+html #SOWrap {overflow-y: hidden; /* for IE7 */}

...but I can only confirm that IE6 is doing fine with it.

Note that there must be two, separate, declarations. Putting them
together as one will make IE6 call the '+' part of the IE7-hack an
invalid selector, thus make IE6 ignore the whole thing.

Your sytnax is wrong for the shortcut rule.  It should be {background:
#eee none;}

You should style the tds in the styled row, not the row itself.
Descendant selectors allow you to do this easily.

e.g.

tr.even td {background: #eee none;}

You might need to apply a {border-collapse: collapse;} rule to the
table for this to look right.

Also you don't need to specify two classes, one will do.  Just make
the default style of the table the one color and the td's in the
classed tr rows the other one.

You write:

 Another common problem with lists in IE occurs when the content of any li

 an anchor with display: block. . . . One of the methods to avoid this
extra
 vertical space is to give layout to the block anchors. This also has the
 benefit of making the whole rectangular area of the anchors clickable.

By anchors, do you mean named HTML anchors? e.g. 'a

[css-d] Making an anchor not clickable?

2006-12-13 Thread Michael Stevens
I always design my navigation menus so that the current page is highlighted
in some way. I add a class=current to the anchor tag with the appropriate
styling in the CSS. Is there a way in the CSS to also make that link NOT
CLICKABLE? If you are on the About page I don't think you should be able to
click the About button on the menu.
 
Possible?

From: James Bennett [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] 

The only reliable thing is not to make it a link. CSS cannot specify
behavior -- only styling, and while JavaScript does in theory provide a way
to capture and stop the click (via the preventDefault method of DOM events),
this method is not entirely portable across browsers.

Not sure I agree with you here.

Solution as follows:

Css
.attributes-even{

}
.attributes-odd{
background-color:#eee;
}



?php
  $rows = 0;
  while (!$configuration-EOF) {
$rows++;
?
tr class=?php echo (floor($rows/2) ==

?

 IE6 lose track of what to calculate the margins from and position the

 Adding a 'hasLayout'[1] trigger to the container...
 #main {zoom: 1;}

  1b.I think I have the selectors wrong for the list under Heading 3,

  repositioning happens with the navigation list, except it is the
  border on div#main that is repositioned when you :hover over the nav
  list.

 #main ul li:hover {/* styles here */}
 ...will give you some styling-options. IE6 (and older) can't handle
 :hover on anything but anchors though.

 Another 'Layout'[1] problem in IE. Add...
 #main ul li {zoom: 1;}
 ...to stiffen up IE's backbone. That'll provide stability in that
 bugger.

  See the code here: http://www.accellart.com/test/crazy_borders.htm
 
 
  2. I know IE handles positioning different, but I still can't get
  this little back box to stay fixed on the page in IE. In FF, it
  stays nicely static while scrolling, but in IE, it scrolls away with

 IE6 (and older win versions) can't handle 'position: fixed' at all.
 Some possible workarounds here...
 http://www.gunlaug.no/contents/wd_additions_15.html
 http://www.gunlaug.no/contents/wd_additions_17.html

 There are no stupid questions, only stupid answers (which I am an expert

 Better correct the above, as asking for logic behind a browser-failure,

Re: [css-d] hover state, background-image discrepancy

2006-12-13 Thread Mark Kamian

Many thanks francky!!

The enlargement idea really sheds light on that.  I had considered some type 
of overlap as the root cause, but it didn't seem possible because I was 
incorrectly thinking there was only a 1-pixel diagonal of transparency 
(instead of the actual 2-pix diag), and the white background was still 
visible.


Warm regards,
Mark



Hi Mark,
It is the moiré effect in the hover image (nav-hov.gif), depending on
the the horizontal position of the list items. This is caused by the
transparent dotted pixels in the hover img, which are enabling the
background behind to peep through. But that bg-img (nav-bg.gif) is also
a dotted img. If you change margins/paddings of the menu items, or
change the browser font-size, the horizontal position of the hover-img
related to the background is shifting 1 or more px. The combination can
be a hit, can be no hit, by accident. Then the different shades of the
hovers are changing places. :-)
When enlarged 5 times, you can see this:

* 
http://home.tiscali.nl/developerscorner/css-discuss/images/moire-effect.gif
  
*%20%20http://home.tiscali.nl/developerscorner/css-discuss/images/moire-effect.gif


What you can do, is just fill the transparent dots in the hover-img with
a solid color.

Success and greetings,
francky

Don't underestimate a screenshot for analyzing strange webpages

Re: [css-d] backslashes after single quotes (was - site check (IE7 please!)

 [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Rob O'Rourke

 Had a quick look, the tables and layout seem to be consistent across the
 browsers i checked in, Opera, IE6/7, FF1.5 and 2.0. One thing I noticed
 is the quotes under the heading have backslashes to escape certain
 single quotes, i guess it's because they're written out by php. Is it
 possible you don't need them or could you use a html entity instead like
 lsquo; or prime;?

oh, yes, thank you for pointing that out. It is something the php is adding
in and I keep forgetting to fix it. I'd copied the quotes from a text file
without changing the punctuation into html, and the quotes module thinks I'm
trying to insert code (it's a little finicky that way). I just fixed them.

In browsers I'm familiar with, href=# will jump/scroll to the top 
of the page if the viewport isn't already homed, so I wouldn't 
categorize that as inert markup.  I would imagine that href= would 
more effectively cancel the link, or, of course, eliminating the 
anchor from the markup altogether.

However, the original poster asked if there were a way to disable a

blank alt it should at least be semantically inert.

 I haven't had a chance to look at your suggestions, but I am 
 unfamiliar with 'hasLayout'[1] It looks like JavaScript to me... is 
 it a CSS rule?

It is MSIE internal behavior - how IE/win reacts to certain CSS
'property: value' pairs. In fact: it's a bug - present in all IE/win
versions to some degree, and you'll have to deal with it whether you
like it or not.

The hardest thing is how do we turn it off, and the answer is quite
often that we can't turn it off without breaking the design.

The article[1] describes what it's all about.

 Same with zoom--is it CSS 3? I don't see it in any CSS2 
 references...

It is not a W3C CSS-standard property. It is a Microsoft CSS property,
since IE5.5. As such it can be applied without disturbing any other
browser, which makes it useful as a 'hasLayout'[1] trigger, but you
won't get a valid button if the W3C CSS validator sees it.

To be clear here: all browsers have some CSS 'property: value' sets that
are not in the regular W3C CSS standards, or are pre-trials of what may
end up in a future CSS standard.
IE/win only has a lot more proprietary 'property: value' sets and other
additions than any other browser, and we make use of those in order to
work around IE/win's lack of real standard-support.

 Molly seems to know what she's talking about! :)

Indeed!
(She had a good teacher - or maybe it was the other way around  ;-) )

Do you mean that the columns are moving below the main content?? I had that

Is iCab used a lot?? I'll have to ask our German group if they think it's

Hi Chris,
General impression: good work!
Maybe you can add a hidden link (on screen, margin-left: -px or so) 
skip to main content and the words Main menu...: just before the 
menu-items (like In this section...: before the links to those items), 
then visitors in textreaders don't have to listen the menu-items in 
every page before they can hear the topics of the page itself. (though 
they can jump to the second H1).
- Can be useful for the no-style visitors too.

On the page whynsbhs.php the list items are used as a kind of 
headings. In fact only the first (bold) line is a list item/heading, the 
rest are normal paragraphs. Seen/heard in Fangs, it is quite a lot of 
text before the next bullet of the list is coming.

* screenshot Fangs
  
http://home.tiscali.nl/developerscorner/css-discuss/images/screenshot-nsbhs.png

An alternative can be: use real headings for the bold lines, and style 
them for screen as list-items-without-list, just as the are now:

#sixReasons h2 { display: list-item; font-size: ..em; }
#sixReasons p  { margin-left: 40px; }
  

See css2.1 specs http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/visuren.html#display-prop.

Re: [css-d] overflow: hidden not inherited?? (was - site check (IE7 please!))

2006-12-13 Thread Gunlaug Sørtun
Wonderbaby Designs wrote:
 I am wondering why I wouldn't add this to my pageWrap div, which

 didn't the SOWrap inherit this rule from the pageWrap or should I add

 Inherited rules are very confusing.

Yes, and not many rules are inherited down the nesting-chain. The rule
in question: 'overflow: hidden', is not inherited.

I didn't go back to check all variables, but there is one additional
problem with IE that is probably affecting the result and how applied
fixes work.

- You have several 'position: relative' in there, and elements with that
'property: value' will overflow their container if they are too large -
even if we declare 'overflow: hidden' on the container.

The effect in IE6 is that the container stops growing - which is
otherwise a big problem with IE6' auto-expansion bug, but the too
large elements will appear visible beyond the edge of the container.

Nested elements/containers, where some have 'position: relative' and
some have not, can be a nightmare to control overflow-wise in IE6 (and
older versions). Don't know about IE7, but I have the impression that it
isn't improved much.

So, I added the fix where it worked as intended in IE/win, and just
checked for unintended side-effects in that and other browsers. Firefox
didn't like 'overflow-y: hidden' there, so the IE-targeting hacks was
necessary.

My idea was to mark up one GIF for the entire menu, then position it 
over the current link using CSS alone.  That way you can use the same 
menu markup each time, just point to different links via the page id or class.

If you're going to modify the menu HTML when each different link 
becomes current, you might as well just remove the anchor tag and 
forget the fancy dancing.

I think you're right not to be afraid of javascript, but do be 
sensible: realize that any solution that DEPENDS on javascript will 
BREAK in browsers with scripting disabled, as is too often the case 
in corporate environments and in the general population.  There's a 
whole school of thought around creating web pages that work for 
everyone -- then give some users a faster or nicer experience if they 
have certain features such as javascript available and 
enabled.  Google unobtrusive javascript and progressive enhancement.

 From a development point of view, if you can get your page to do 
what you want without adding widgets, why add widgets?  It's just 
more stuff for you to create and maintain and more stuff for your 
users to download.  Personally I love javascript but I use it 
extremely sparingly these days.  I've learned how to produce most of 
the effects that I used javascript to achieve with CSS and 
server-side scripting.  Once I've provided a non-scripting solution, 
why supply a redundant solution using scripting unless it enhances the page?

It's like replacing moving parts with solid-state components.  The 
fewer gears and pulleys, the less can break.

Re: [css-d] Can one disable a style sheet just for a menu?

Dear Francky,

I'm impressed by your developerscorner/css page:
* QckDrty raw testpage
 
http://home.tiscali.nl/developerscorner/css-discuss/test-inner-new.htm

This is not what I expected to see happen!  Thanks so much for taking the
time.  This proves that the style sheet is what is messing up the looks of
the menu.

I received another post privately that pointed out that this tool depends
entirely on Javascript, and if one has it turned off there will be no menu
showing at all.  This is totally unacceptable.  Also, the test page does not
validate, another no no.

I tried a suckerfish menu from listmatic with poor results, and then tried
one from HTML dog.  That's when I decided I needed a tool to help me.
Unfortunately this tool creates nice menus, but it's only good if you don't
care if everyone is able to see them.

I think my biggest enemy is the style sheet I have in place.  I copied it
from another larger site that I manage, that has more bells and whistles.  I
think I may hack it down to the bare bones and then try the suckerfish menu
again.   The latest one I found that looks nice and easy to set up is at
http://www.projectseven.com/tutorials/navigation/auto_hide/index.htm

Projectseven has a drop down menu tool for sale which makes use of an
unordered list.  They claim it will be standards compliant.  All their tools
are add-ons for Dreamweaver 8, Unfortunately I use Frontpage 2003, but
lately have wondered if I should make the switch. 

Can you or any other readers recommend a good dropdown menu tool that won't
bust the bank, but will deliver an accessible menu?

Thanks again,

Tom Rogers

Hi Tom,
AFAIK, I'm afraid not: the styles of the script are heavily interfering 
with the page styles, and it is a rather complicated (: long loading!) 
script.
Maybe you can isolate the included part totally from the normal page, 
use it as a separated page, and put it in place by an iframe. Then the 
main style cannot influence the menu styles.

Additional styling of the include and the normal page will be needed (I

Hello all, first time poster 

Hi Todd,
Welcome!

and first full CSS/XHTML layout, so be kind!
  

Compliment first: general look  feel is (imo) sophisticated.

Here's the site:

http://www.michaellawrencenewton.com

Here's some of my own complaints:

The client doesn't mind the glitches in IE5/5.5 for Mac (the menu at the
bottom shifts to the left and top, especially in widescreen browsers), but I
do.

I can't seem to get the overall layout to stretch vertically to the bottom
of the screen in larger-width. If I don't have enough content to stretch the
height of the page, how do I set the height in the style sheet without
blowing out the layout?

I wanted to make a 2-column layout out of the Words page, but I can't seem
to make it work. When I made the maincontent div a container with 2 content
divs inside, the divs didn't work as columns, even with floats left and
right.

Of course it looks fine in Firefox, but IE5/5.5 for Windows looks a little
different. Again, the client doesn't care as long as he's live. I'm trying
to understand how the hacks for IE work, but I still don't fully understand
how they work.

Thank you all in advance for your input!

Todd
  

About the 2 columns: some kind of this?

* testpage
  http://home.tiscali.nl/developerscorner/css-discuss/words-new.htm

Method used: cutting text in 2 equal parts by hand (in html/css no 
flowing of text from 1 container to another is permitted, like in a 
DTP-program).
Then each part in a left or right floated column div. And ending with 
a clearing of the floats, that means: starting left side of the page at 
a vertical position under the largest floating column.

The maybe the text img links can get some kind of visual indication 
there is something to hover/click (small arrow or something?). - The 
menu at the bottom is clear, but at the Words page, I didn't recognize 
the Gordon Parks Remembered: 'by 5 minutes'  text as a clickable link: 
only after 10 minutes, just by accident, when hovering around.

Re: [css-d] alternating coloured rows in dynamic website

2006-12-13 Thread Chris Broadfoot
Ed,

  I am being completely stupid here. Have tried all the suggestions and
 get no
  alternating colors.
  tr .even{background:#eee}
  tr.odd{background:#F9FBF9}
 
 Your sytnax is wrong for the shortcut rule.  It should be {background:
 #eee none;}

How come?

 You should style the tds in the styled row, not the row itself.
 Descendant selectors allow you to do this easily.

Why this, as well?

Regards
Chris

 Hi all.
 This is my first post in this mailing list.

Greetings, Denis, and Welcome.

You wrote:
 I'm looking for solution to set same font-size in as more as possible 
 browsers.

That may be a lost cause. Hopefully your design will stand text size 
enlargement without breaking. But text sizes, even at normal setting, 
varies from browser to browser and platform to platform.

For example, I have a high definition screen (1400 x 1050 px) with Windows 
set to 120 DPI using Clear Type. This gives crisp and clear text, but 
Firefox makes normal text 16px, while IE and Opera makes it 20px.

Personally, I wouldn't worry about it. Not many people surf using two 
browsers together. (Just us crazy webby folk :)

Cordially,
David Hucklesby

Re: [css-d] Can one disable a style sheet just for a menu?

I think my biggest enemy is the style sheet I have in place. I copied it
from another larger site that I manage, that has more bells and whistles.  I
think I may hack it down to the bare bones and then try the suckerfish menu
again.   The latest one I found that looks nice and easy to set up is at
http://www.projectseven.com/tutorials/navigation/auto_hide/index.htm

Projectseven has a drop down menu tool for sale which makes use of an
unordered list.  They claim it will be standards compliant.  All their tools
are add-ons for Dreamweaver 8, Unfortunately I use Frontpage 2003, but
lately have wondered if I should make the switch. 

Can you or any other readers recommend a good dropdown menu tool that won't
bust the bank, but will deliver an accessible menu?

Thanks again,

Tom Rogers

Well,
I cannot recommend a good dd menu tool, for usually I need 3 tools:

   1. A good example, like the p7 you mentioned, or the original:
  http://www.htmldog.com/articles/suckerfish/dropdowns/example/bones3.html
   2. Notepad.
   3. Time to arrange css just as I want it. ;-)

To see the market, I just Googled for css dropdown menu tool, and 
tried the first hit Open Cube. Promises (css only, or with javascript 
only as support for IE; just like Suckerfish) are exellent! - Then 
downloaded a trial of their Infinite-Menu's:

* http://www.opencube.com/imenus.asp

In the first screen I would like to change the (fixed) font-size to 
em's. Hmmm, impossible. Next!

So maybe it is more time/money and headaches to find, evaluate and/or 
adapt a tool solution than to spend some time and headaches to style an 
already working menu by hand...[1]
But I can be wrong, and maybe somebody can recommend the p7 tool or 
another as a good one.

Success!

I had similar experience in order to get a good working rounded corner 
tool/solution some years ago. Googled and tried dozens of links, not 
what I expected (didn't know the css-list and css-Wiki at that time). In 
the end, I decided not to spend more time on searching the web hoping to 
get better results, but to develop my own solution. Some experiments, 
and a quite universal liquid round corners solution was born...

Well I might be wrong - my memory of validating CSS is that the
validator complains about the background shortcut rule if you don't
specify the background image, or none if you don't have one.

  You should style the tds in the styled row, not the row itself.
  Descendant selectors allow you to do this easily.

 Why this, as well?

Mostly because putting a border around a tr element never works for
me.  I think it is only meant as a container for cells (th or td
elements).  td or th are block elements so they do take borders.

But I could be wrong about that too, of course.

You can easily change the default font size in Firefox, though.  I
reset mine to 20px because my aging eyes prefer it.
