Many thanks for the help so far. Just to reiterate. I started with a
three column design, content in the left column, and using the centre
and right column for navigation. The site however looked far too
cluttered and so we started again and came up with a single column
site design. (We will be removing as much text as possible and leaving
a visual site).

In the meantime I have created icons for the navigation but am still
experiencing problems getting the icons to centre. I am using float:
right to ensure the boxes line up correctly but this also has the
problem of reversing the order of the boxes. So instead of 1, 2, 3, 4,
5 we get 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Is it possible to achieve the effect without
floating please?

Re: [css-d] IE 5 -6 cleanup tips needed

2007-01-16 Thread Kim Brooks Wei
Thanks for cleanup tips. I did get rid of voice-family hack and used 
a different one. The article you pointed me too is stupendous. Thank 
you so much.

I still cannot get my three content boxes to line up with each other 
along a horizontal line. In fact, in some instances the center box 
shoots right up into the banner  [header box]. I tried separating the 
header from the rest of the content using clear: both but this didn't 
appear to accomplish anything.

So, I still need to line my content boxes up along a horizontal line.

  I also would like to know what's messing up my nav buttons in IE 5.1 
. It seems to me that I have arranged them in a straightforward way 
and they very much ought to work.

Best,
Kimi

It's not elegant, and it would require (for accessibility) either a 
detailed alt tag or a page for the longdesc img option in the code, but 
you could add a white border to the big images themselves and include 
the caption as part of the image.

Useful links, and I'll just elaborate on them to mention that while they are
effective ways of doing an image map using CSS, they do not directly edit
the original image. They instead use other objects to display on the image,
or near it. But overall the main thing to remember is that the :hover state
just needs to be applied to the  tag and not the  tag.

Javascript (OT for this list) would let you change specific elements via

Hello,

First of all - thank you again Georg for your help in getting this far.

As I said the other day, I've been asked to redo this flash site,  
keeping it as close to the original as possible.

http://www.stephenporterstudio.com

in HTML. I'm doing just two pages for now - the opening page and the  
first gallery page.

http://www.stephenporterstudio.com/html/

http://www.stephenporterstudio.com/html/stainless.html

I've almost got both pages now - the biggest item I have left if  
getting the captions to change under the big picture on the stainless  
page as  a new image is brought up by a click on the table to the left.

So - if anyone has a suggestion of an elegant way to get that done,  
I'd love to hear it. I am hoping that there's a nicer way to do this  
than setting up 8 hidden tables that get swapped during the click.

And - any other criticism at all would be great. If that's an  
inappropriate request - my apologies.

thanks,

Re: [css-d] fixed height box container

Briefly. You have a fixed width #wrapper. You've asked an element set inside 
that wrapper (#contenitore) to respect a 420px right margin, which it does. 
This makes it too narrow to contain the table inside, which sticks out. 

Further, you've placed a 538px wide image as a background image, and are 
expecting it to expand to about 700px wide, but you've only told it to repeat-y 
(since it's a gradient, I would expect you wouldn't want it to repeat-x). So, 
the /look/ of the table inside #contenttelo is narrower than you want because 
the image itself is not as wide as you need 

I suggest you take the width off of #wrapper, and place a few temporary 
background colors on the problem elements so you can see what is happening. 
After that, you may need to rethink how you are approaching this layout, as I'm 
pretty sure it still isn't going to look like what you want.

Well, the absolute positioned Navigation isn't calculated into the
page-height since 'A:P' elements are taken completely out of the flow.

You may either add a large enough 'min-height' to #parent, or you will
have to redesign #navigation so it isn't absolute positioned anymore.
Many of us use 'float' instead of 'A:P' in such cases, and then make the
page "extend to contain floats".

Georg

Only a cursory glance, Keith. Nice page. IE7 looks fine. The text in the 
bottom right block is not appearing in ie/6.0. Both versions of ie are 
suffering from the em font-size bug (add font-size 100% to the body 
declaration). Incidentally the text is shooting the bottom of the three 
blocks with font scaling in ff. Opera (latest) is fine.

I couldn't reproduce it in FF 1.5.0.8 for Linux, either, but your "Web

[css-d] Div overhang

2007-01-16 Thread John Hughes
Folks,

My first time posting here. I'm on digest mode and I've picked up a lot
without posting anything. 

Anyway, I have a particularly vexatious problem on my site www.aodhruadh.org

My navigation is contained in a div specified thus:

#navigation
{
color : #000; 
background : transparent;
width : 180px;
padding : 0px;
vertical-align : top;
text-align : center;
margin : 0px auto;
vertical-align : middle;
border : solid #f00 0px;
position : absolute;
left : 0px;
top : 0px;
font-family : trebuchet ms,verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif; 
font-size : 9pt; 
font-weight : bold;
text-decoration : none; 
}

The problem is that whenever the contents of the enclosing div 

#parent
{
width : 700px;
text-align : left;
border-top : solid #090 0px;
border-bottom : solid #090 10px;
border-left : solid #090 2px;
border-right : solid #090 2px;
background : url(/images/gif/celtic_knotwork.gif) #fff;
margin : 0px auto;
margin-bottom : 30px;
display : block;
position : relative;
clear : both;
}

are such that the div height is less than the height of the Navigation div
then I am afflicted with an overhang, such as the one on this page.

http://aodhruadh.org/funding/index.php

This occurs on Firefox an IE 7 on the PC. Is there anyway I can remedy this
situation. I've being trying to do something about it for ages now

TIA

John.

[css-d] Firefox floated element onclick event ignored

2007-01-16 Thread Ben Liu
okay, admittedly this is not really a CSS question, but I was hoping
someone on this list has come across this or is familiar with the
problem. For some reason, in Firefox only (doesn't seem to apply to
Safari or IE6/7), if you float an element and add an onclick event,
Firefox ignores the onclick event. The same element when not floated
responds normally. Does anyone know if this is a bug or proper browser
behavior? Also, any known workarounds to this? I'm not able to
position this clickable element using position: absolute, it must be
position: relative and it needs to float to the left of another
element. The only other solution I can think of is to place it into a
table in order to achieve the side-by-side presentation.

Thanks for any help,

Ben

keep it working with your htc file but just call it from a separate

Hi everyone:

We want to use a dingbat image here, (page in process):
http://www.wholehomeresource.com/jan07/wilder-index.htm

I've left the pink background in to make it easy to spot.

Its in-line on a h2 but took the h2 out and still has problem.

its just in IE7, that I can see.  and just when you zoom in.  the 
dingbat then overlays the following word.

is it a bug!?  any ideas about how i could write my code better.  maybe 
it is me, i hope!  If not, can i get quais-famous for finding a new IE7 
bug (except its probably already been found and I just missed the talk 
about it). *smile*

thanks for looking and any ideas, thoughts.

cheers

[css-d] Layout Help

2007-01-16 Thread nouhad
Hello there,

I'm having problems starting this design from scratch; I'm working on a
project for a NGO. Can anyone help me start off on the right foot:

I'm trying to have a fluid 3-column layout. Left column : Navbar. Right
column : 3 buttons. Middle column : Content.

The Layout structure i drew up can be seen
here

The top navbar list seen in the compo has around 11 items in it, how would i
set the width of the nav  to accommodate its container?

The navbar containing vertical lists on the left side of the website
contains many links that have sub level links, again how would i code its
container or the layouts length to fluidly suit this?

One last question : Does anyone have suggestions for font sizes? I'm trying
to have large serif fonts that are spaced out and easy to read.

Thanks,
Nouhad

Ross,

For more information on this, I highly recommend you read

Yes, this is the problem. The solution is to use min-height instead of 
height. More details here:

Sorry, need to correct a longstanding myth. IE6 does *not* treat width 
the same as min-width. It *does* treat height the same as min-height.

John,

I can't reproduce the problem in Firefox 2.0.0.1 on Windows XP. I had my

I am not sure, if it will work, but try to remove width property of

overflow property really work but it is not the solution for me.
Inside the one div with a fixed width and hight is a table. When the table has

Hi, Lilla,

 helpful.

If the content (the table) of the div #content is bigger, then
overflowing of the content depends on the property of the div
#content. Default is "overflow: visible", when the content exceeds
edges of the div. E.g. "overflow: auto" shows scrollbars, if needed.

I understand that, and you're certainly not alone in having problems
understanding XHTML doctypes and related issues, so I'll try to lay out
the most important parts, with _traps_ and all.

Decisions regarding doctype, MIME type and source-code may affect how
our beloved CSS is handled in quite extreme and (to many) unexpected
ways, so the following is most certainly on topic on css-d (just in case
someone wondered :-) ).


On the W3C site it is expressed this way...

...and you will find some more useful answers regarding XHTML doctypes
and other issues in that FAQ. Disregard everything concerning 'XHTML 2'
though, as that doesn't really exist.

It is also a good idea, for everyone who want to use an XHTML doctype,
to read this article...

...and you can go straight to the "Summary"...

...for a simple overview of DTDs vs. MIME types.

The 'XHTML 1.0 Strict' DTD, or alternatively 'HTML 4.01 Strict' DTD if
you make the necessary changes to the source-code so it becomes proper
HTML, are the right choices (in most cases) for now.
Complete "recommended DTD" list here...



I had another quick look at your page...

...and since you also have other weak spots in your source-code that may
severely affect rendering of your page if you ever want to serve it
properly - as XHTML, I'll take this opportunity to point out that 'HTML
comments' may be stripped out without warning by compliant browsers.

This means that constructions like this...





...may be reduced to this...




...and the stylesheet will *not* be imported. I'd call that a failure.

The following construction (which btw. is what I always use)...


/**/


...will work just fine though.

This is an important point, and it doesn't help one bit that so many
write that "HTML comments work just fine". They probably have never
learned what XHTML is - predefined XML, and have also never tested what
may happen when XHTML is served properly - as 'application/xhtml+xml'.

Now, there's nothing wrong (IMO) in serving well-formed 'XHTML 1.0' as
'text/html' - like all 'HTML' is being served. I do it all the time, and
so do a lot of others. We _have_ to (one way or another), or else not a
single version of Internet Explorer will understand anything.

We just have to make sure we use the correct DTD and that our XHTML
pages work perfectly in XHTML/XML-supporting browsers - i.e., "most of
the newer non-IE browsers", if/when our pages are being properly served.


Some more on the subject...

...and it's of no use to let Internet Explorer see that page. IE will
probably ask Firefox or Opera to open it, since IE can't handle it all
by itself.
A more IE-friendly but otherwise identical version here...



I guess that is about as far as I can go in explaining the issues at
hand, without going off topic for this mail-list. I think I have covered
most.

regards
Georg

I actually just meant that you change the references to "a.parent" and 
"a.top_parent" only. Everything else, including the references to "a" 
(no class), can be the same ("#menuh a" or whatever). Not sure if it'll 
make a difference, but it's worth a try.

Take a look at this page for more details on this bug. One commenter 
offers another, though slightly more complicated, solution.

Mark,

First of all, calling the hover pseudo-class for an  tag doesn't apply to
this situation for one main reason, being that there is no  tag. The
problem with this method is that an image map uses one large image, and with
HTML, splits it up into imaginary segments for the purpose of having them
link to another URL. The hove tag is not going to do you any good because
the only real properties the area tag, which is the one providing the link,
has are it's coordinates and destination URL. The most common solution to
this problem, while seemingly keeping the effect the same would be to use an
image editing program to slice up your image into sections, ultimately
getting the parts that you want to be links into separate images, then using
HTML to make it all appear as one big image. Not only does this save on
overall loading time, but allows you to apply the hover effect you want to
the individual images!

Hopefully this helps you, and if not feel free to ask any other questions
you may have.

Best of luck,
Matt Fielding

Which Safari version? My Safari 2.0.4 renders it just fine.

A completely different matter is that a document with an XHTML 1.1
doctype should not be served as 'text/html' under any circumstances, but
you didn't ask about that and it wouldn't make any difference anyway :-)

value. I want it to take its width value from the  inside it.
But I also want the  and the  to be centered inside the div.

If I put "margin: 0 auto;" to the  and the  (the  has "width: 
160px" it works just fine in FF but in IE6, IE7 it doesn't.  The div 
looks like it takes a 100% width value.

If I put "text-allign: center" to the  it works in IE but in FF 
neither  or  are centered.

What can I do;

[css-d] fixed height box container

2007-01-16 Thread Livia Dobai
Hi!
I have a fixed height box container 

...for the background image (rounded corners)








#container{
position: absolute;
right:42px;
top: 120px;
width: 155px;
height: 210px;
}
#content{
width:155px;
height:200px;
}
Inside of the #content div is a table  which crates and fills dynamically the 
rows.
Although is definet the height in the #content box, the content owerflow the 
#container box.
How can I fix this?
Thanx
Lilla

I think that you're running into a mysterious class bug in IE6 that was 
discussed here a while back. When you assign a style to some set of tags 
and then give some of the tags a class so that you can alter that style, 
IE6 freaks out and rejects the class all together. I'm not sure if IE6 
does this universally or just when it feels like it, but I had the same 
problem as you. To fix it, in the CSS file, instead of referring to them 
"#menuh a.parent" and "#menuh a.top_parent", refer to them as 
"#menuh-container a.parent" and "#menuh-container a.top_parent" (i.e., 
use the parent div).

I think that others have had success by just referring to the tag names 
plus class names and leaving out the container div, but I haven't tried 
that.

Good luck!
Brian

Re: [css-d] Why my website won't render in Safari?

Which Safari version? My Safari 2.0.4 renders it just fine.

A completely different matter is that a document with an XHTML 1.1
doctype should not be served as 'text/html' under any circumstances, but
you didn't ask about that and it wouldn't make any difference anyway :-)
