 Would anyone mind looking (and not laughing too much) and letting me 
 know what stands out as really wrong?

Nothing really wrong in your stylesheet, but those IE versions have
their own interpretations of this and that :-)


Add a space between ')' and 'top' for the following background...

#rourkeheader span {
background:url(../images/bb_banner.jpg)top left no-repeat;

...so it becomes...

background:url(../images/bb_banner.jpg) top left no-repeat;

...and IE6 will understand what you mean.

Then add...

* html #rourkeheader {overflow: visible;}

...and the header-image should become visible in other IE versions too.
Can't check IE5.x/win at the moment, but IE6 and IE5.2.3/Mac is doing fine.


The addition of...

/* IE-Mac needs dimensions - especially the height */
#masthead {height: 200px; width: 100%;}

/* IE-win needs a 'hasLayout' trigger */
#maincontent {height: 1%;}

/* IE-Mac needs width on floats */
#sidebar {width: 20%;}

...should even out other differences between IE and the good browsers,
and give you a pretty reliably line-up across browser-land.

Re: [css-d] universal selector to set defaults

2007-01-31 Thread James Leslie
 Hi Garth,

One thing to be aware of is that you will be removing borders from Form
items such as input boxes, you will also be removing the padding on
these items which will need to be reapplied or the input will look
pretty bad (IMHO).
I used to use the universal selector to do what you are suggesting but
now find something like the code below actually more useful as it only
cancels out the bits that really need it:

body, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, p, blockquote, ul, ol, li, table, tr, th,
td, form, fieldset {
margin 0; padding 0; border 0; list-style none; font-size 100%;
font-weight normal;
}
img{
border:0:
}

Hope that helps,

James

Subject: [css-d] universal selector to set defaults

real quick,

i want to use the * selector to set all my default values (except fonts,
i know they will cascade). something like this:


* {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
list-style: none;
font-style: normal;
font-weight: normal;
border-collapse: collapse;
border-spacing: 0;
border: 0;
text-decoration: none;
}

i'm pretty sure there won't be any browser quirks over this, but i was
just hoping for some confirmation on this.

thanks!

Re: [css-d] a obj. oriented style of CSS class inheritance

 Is there a way to define a CSS class that inherits the attributes of

 Currently, I have:

...Seems a little too obvious to be helpful, doesn't it?

If you're talking about non-inherited values in CSS needing to be 
inherited (inherited in the sense of nested elements), I occasionally 
use such things as

.nobreak, .nobreak *
{
   white-space: pre
}

.nobreak, .nobreak * *
{
   white-space: normal
}

Hope this helps,

[css-d] IE6 transparent PNG and RTL

2007-01-31 Thread Ido Dekkers
hi

for some reason when i use the png fix (with the htc file) the 
transparancy problem is fixed with no problem.

but
the background image is pasted to the left instead of to the right as 
the css tells it to ?
every thing looks fine when the javascript is not there (except for the 
transparency of coarse) ,
and when i add the script - the transparency is fixed but the background 
(which is a 17px wide, repeating pattern on the y axis) is pasted to the 
left or the div instead of the right as it is without the script.

any idea why ?

thnaks

[css-d] IE7 scrollbar bug

2007-01-31 Thread Alastair Campbell
A colleague of mine found a little bug in IE7 that produces an
unneeded horizontal scrollbar:
http://alastairc.ac/testing/IE7_bugs/scrolling_on_position-right.html

It seems to be tripped when you have:
- a block of over 50% wide, relatively positioned. (Including the body.)
- an absolutely positioned item in the right hand side of the block
(i.e. from left: 50% onwards, or right:0).
- You have a block element within that has a negative margin-top or
margin-left of less than 0.

Is there a good list of IE7 bugs to add this to? The IE feedback site
is temporarily closed.

Cheers,

It's no guarantee, but if the site works in another Webkit-based

works in Safari.

Thank you for asking instead of posting a site check please message! :-)

 One page that I found awhile back but haven't looked into it 
 too much because I have a Mac is:
 http://www.browsrcamp.com/
 
 It looks like what you are looking for to me.

Another great service is www.browsercam.com which offers numerous browsers
on Mac, Windows, Linux, and even BlackBerry and Windows Mobile. They have
remote access and automated screen captures. You can save a project to
test a specific page or pages on your choice of browsers and OSes, and then
easily repeat the browser screen captures for that project any time.

Even though I have all sorts of systems available for testing, I use
BrowserCam to quickly test a page in numerous browsers. I can take one
minute to start the capture, then come back a little while later and see if
I broke anything.

BrowserCam's pricing is oriented toward companies with multiple users, but
you can also get an individual account for $25/year by joining (or starting)
a group purchase at http://www.fundable.org/browsercam.

If everyone who posted site check requests on this list would get
BrowserCam subscriptions instead, it would really help keep the list on
topic.

Re: [css-d] Images defined as %

2007-01-31 Thread Michael Stevens
Looks good...

I've run into IE problems and they way it does't work properly. My layout is
a little odd with basically a two column layout with one big picture on the
left and two little pictures on the right stacked on top of each other with
two separate images underneath those three forming a second row. Of course,
FireFox works beautifully but IE blows it to hell. Either it scales the
bottom stacked image to the height of the window or it hangs up on the
corner of the first large image.

I'm contemplating canning the whole idea in favor of a Flash movie.

Is there a way to make the second row of two images clear the top three
images without clearing the left and right menus?

After looking at your code I see I may need to place all my images in a
separate DIVs... might try that...

[css-d] ATTN: People with Nifty Corners experience

2007-01-31 Thread Jonathan Carter
So I've decided to implement Nifty Corners into a project and it's working 
great. The only problem I keep running into  is that sometimes when I apply the 
edges to an element, the corners aren't positioned in the correct place.

For example: http://www.staticsolution.com/screenshot.gif

You can see that the Nifty was applied nicely on the gray borders, the blue 
list items, and the green headers, but the white content area is having a 
problem with the bottom. What is odd is that it works sometimes and not others. 
In the above picture you see that it doesn't work, but in this picture is does: 
http://www.staticsolution.com/screenshot2.gif

The HTML/CSS doesn't change at all between those two pages, as it's actually 
just one page providing dynamic content.

Anyways, it seems like there is something I'm doing wrong but I'm not sure what 
it is. Has anyone run into a similar problem before?

Any help would be appreciated, thanks a lot.

Jonathan

Ido,

The hacked transparent PNGs in IE are not actual background images, so 
they don't respond to the background-position or background-repeat 
properties. In fact, they don't even tile like background images at all.

If you must have a transparent PNG on the right side of a container, 
your only option is to nest a div, position this div to the right side, 
then place the PNG background on this div.

Alternately, depending on your layout, you could just feed IE6 and lower 
GIFs and let them have a slightly less pretty experience.

Re: [css-d] ATTN: People with Nifty Corners experience

2007-01-31 Thread Jonathan Carter

I agree with you, unfortunately those pages are internal and I 
can't really push the code up to a public server. Thats why I asked for people 
with experience with Nifty Corners because I was hoping that the problem I'm 
having is common enough that seeing the code isn't necessary.

 So I've decided to implement Nifty Corners into a project and it's working

 the edges to an element, the corners aren't positioned in the correct place.

 For example: http://www.staticsolution.com/screenshot.gif

 You can see that the Nifty was applied nicely on the gray borders, the blue 
 list items, and the green headers, but the white content area is having a 
 problem with the bottom. What is odd is that it works sometimes and not 
 others. In the above picture you see that it doesn't work, but in this 
 picture is does: http://www.staticsolution.com/screenshot2.gif


Hi Jonathan,

I think it would help if you would post a link to both pages. I think
it's hard for people
to help of they haven't got the code to look at.

[css-d] IE7 jitters - www.paen.net

2007-01-31 Thread Richard Grevers
We're seeing a bizarre behaviour from IE7 on the page http://www.paen.net

The 2 or 3 boxes on the right ought to be over on the right with a
reasonable gutter between them and the body text, and they display
that way in IE6 and all well-brought-up browsers.
However, in IE7 some people are seeing the initial display of the
boxes further left. No matter where they are initially, they seem to
jump about when the mouse passes over either the text link
ISO9001:2000 in the body text or the ISO9001 link in the page footer,
then jump back if you mouse over the feature box.

Note: #blackbox_float is defined as 9em. I've already tried changing
that to px: As 120px it exhibits the same behaviour. As 180px, the
boxes overlay the body text.
Don't ya love IE!

Re: [css-d] mac testing with no mac

2007-01-31 Thread Jason Karns
I recently heard of a new .NET (requires 2.0) project called Swift that is
developing a browser with WebKit. I can't speak for the accuracy comparison
between Safari and Swift, but assuming the consistency of WebKit, it should
be pretty close.  The browser itself is still in very early beta, so use at
your own risk.

 Thanks a lot for the tip George. Unfortunately my scenario doesn't
 accomodate fixed width containers. I have a two column fluid layout and both
 columns need to have rounded edges, and child elements of both containers
 need to be rounded as well. I've tried numerous different methods for this
 and I always seem to come up short on each one.
 
 You should be able to find a suitable method here - an amazing collection on
 rounded corners!

Hi Jonathan,
As Paul Novitsky wrote already, it's difficult to give a general advice, 
'cause without a practical example we cannot see which of the many 
possibilities can be applied. Do you have a link to a test page?

Looking for (and trying out) the enormous amount of solutions on the 
web: indeed this doesn't make happy! Especially because the most 
examples don't show the hidden treasures: the conditions which has to 
be fulfilled to get the model working. Some does have a fixed width 
condition, but don't say that. Some suppose a solid background color, 
but don't say that. And so on, and so on!
I can imagine you will be a bit tired of the collection of solutions  
testing all results (lots appear to be the same, after testing...). - 
That is just the experience as I had some years ago. At a certain 
moment, I decided not to search any longer, but to try to develop my own 
solution: a multi purpose model.

* For the whole story, my basic conditions / goals, and the
  solution(s) I found: see Liquid Round Corners
  http://home.tiscali.nl/developerscorner/liquidcorners/liquidcorners.htm
* Examples you can find in the Liquid Corners Playgarden
  
http://home.tiscali.nl/developerscorner/liquidcorners/liquid-corners-playgarden-index.htm
* More examples, often triggered by css-d questions, you can find in
  the index of Francky's Developers Corner
  http://home.tiscali.nl/developerscorner/

If I'm guessing right, what you want is more or less illustrated in 
More Corner Examples, Example 4 
http://home.tiscali.nl/developerscorner/liquidcorners/more-rounded-corners_step1.htm
(I added a new step 4 to show the possibility of nested liquid corners)

* Even the IE's (5.01 up to 7) can handle it; see browsershots
  http://browsershots.org/screenshots/baa7ce50f2dc7bd61bd1d05f8856a73d/

@smileycat-list: in the list is indicated that my Liquid Corners (called 
Tiscali, which is the name of my ISP ;-) ) need 4 images - that's 
wrong, you need only 1 small image if only corners are wanted, and 
another small image if also a home made border around is needed.

@lists-of-rounded-corner-solutions: also in the css-d Wiki is a special 
Rounded Corner Page http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=RoundedCorners.

Some time ago I started to evaluate these solutions. The work is not 
finished yet (long term between other occupations...), but I already 
made a kind of acid proof for the support (or not) of transparency. 
Screenshots of all tested solutions are added.

* See Testing rounded corner web solutions
  
http://home.tiscali.nl/developerscorner/liquidcorners/wiz/wiz-step1-more-practice.htm

My conclusion: in the customized corners with only css and images there 
are only 3 solutions which are liquid and support transparency of the 
outside of the corners (Søren Madsen in ALA, Roger Johansson in 
456bereastreet, and francky).
Note: in the ALA article big area images are used for the corners 
(nevertheless the layout is breaking at large font sizes). In basic 
model, the Bereastreet solution and my solution is the same. - If I had 
seen this before (amidst of all others), I shouldn't have invented the 
Liquid Corners, but just extended the work! :-)

Greetings and success,
(and as said, if you have a testpage, we can see what we can do)

francky

Hi CSSers,

Anyone know of a way to make a read only input element blend  
perfectly in to the background in Safari? Renders properly in  
Firefox. See: Tour Date field above calendar at:

Alright Tim,

I had a look, I take it's the input for the total price down at the 
bottom you're asking about?
Anyway if so, try this to reset the styles for that one input:

#total, #total:hover { color: #4a0400; border: 0; background: transparent; }

Should work for most browsers but I only tested it in FF2 on PC. I'll 
check it in the rest of my browsers if you decide to implement it.

 Now I'm facing a weird problem with IE6 and 7 - the site looks awful

 I think the problem is using % in widths, but I'm no expert.
 The site is here: http://www.tochunky.org

 Every suggestion or pointer is welcome.
   
Best thing to do is wait and see if someone else on the list has a fix 
for what you have.

In the meantime, for fun (as you put it), you might try a simple site. 
Hold the horizontals, release the verticals, and allow the software to 
do the rest for you.
Quick tested in ie 5 through 7, and compliant browsers.

[css-d] ie7 zoom issue

2007-01-31 Thread Donna Jones
hi all:

this is making me pretty nuts, the page is at a draft stage.

http://mainehumanities.org/programs/btr-conference-draft.html

when you hit zoom in ie7, even one time, the inpage menu (right now
with a gray background and orange border) the words don't stay within
their boxes.  they stay where they should in mozilla and ie6 and i
really don't know what to do with ie7.

also, was having a problem with text-size increase.  its increasing okay
now with mozilla and ie6 but not ie7 

anyone ... ?!
