At work, I'm going to need to be learning about XSL. Any good books?


This has absolutely nothing to do with CSS.

If anyone has any suggestions for David, they should send them to him directly.

But no replies to the list, please.

[css-d] Issues in internet explorer

2007-08-10 Thread Tia Paitsel
Hi all-

I am having issues with my website displaying properly in IE. The main issue
is with the text on the right side. I have a callout portion (quote) that I
tried to have larger, bolder and italicized so I tried creating a sub-class
which solved the problem in all other browsers except IE.

Also, if you have any other suggestions when looking at it, I appreciate any
feedback or constructive criticism as I am just learning.

Here is the link: http://www.learntofreeride.com/public/country_bounty/

Thanks in advance for the help,

Tia

Re: [css-d] Loading CSS background images

 Let's say a style sheet for an entire web site has 22 background
 images it references.  However on one of the pages in the web site it
 only uses 5 of those background images.  So does the site make 22
 http requests to download all of those background images from the
 style sheet or does it only make 5
 http requests and only download the 5 background images actually used
 on the page..

 I'm new to CSS-Discuss, so if I'm doing this wrong I apologize.
 

 Welcome!
 Yours is an interesting question, even if I believe the CSS specs say
 nothing about this, so browsers are free to do what they prefer.
 As far as I know (checked looking at server's logs and/or http traffic) all
 the current browsers (and probably also older ones) do not make requests for
 not used background images (i.e. mentioned in CSS rules whose selectors do
 not match any element on the page.)
 The only exception is IE5.2 on Mac (which is not a current browser.)
 (Don't take this as a definitive answer, things may depend on circumstances
 that I have overlooked.)

 Browsers behavior is more different in the case of background images
 attached to elements with display:none. In this case some (IE, Safari) seem
 to request the image anyway, others (Gecko, Opera) do not.

Welcome Mark!
Bruno, I wholly agree.  Very interesting question and, as usual, your
answer was thoughtful and logical.

I'll do some scouring of the logs on my testbed machine while browsing
there and will post the results.  I'm looking forward to finding out as
well.

Regards to all,
~Ray

Thanks but:

That uses scripts and I'm averse to using Javascript unless really
necessary - and only  if the page then still display with script
turned off on the browser.

The whole idea for me is to keep things simple - not use Javascript as
a fix for everything.

I'm still trying to get it work with larger images - then it REALLY
would be a flexible and simple idea ;-)

Re: [css-d] IE6 spacing and white border issue

Yeah, I'm still a novice at code writing and I'm not a coder per se so, yes, it 
isn't going to be high quality. I appreciate your help.

 I've created my web site and it seem to work fine in Safari and
 Firefox but has a spacing issue in IE6 (surprise.) There is a space
 between two divs and I can't seem to figure out the cause.

 Also, if anyone knows how to eliminate the white border on the main
 pages and the pop-ups I would be most appreciative  too.

The following will work...
.boxtop img {vertical-align: bottom;}
body {margin: 0; padding: 0;}

However, I suggest you make an attempt on writing a more sensible (and 
maybe even valid) source-code.
It would also be a good idea to test a bit more across browser-land, and 
then create a somewhat more robust solution as a whole. What you got now 
breaks in every browser on earth when a little font resizing is applied...

Re: [css-d] Photo grid with captions in CSS. Any ideas?

2007-08-10 Thread Hairball
On 8/8/07, Robert Van Dam [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

 Just play around a little bit with the image sizes that you have.
 This worked for me using images of size 340x250.

 dl {float:left;text-align:center;}
 dt,dd {width:35em;float:left;}
 dt {margin-bottom:4em;}/* vertical space between the images */
 dd {margin:250px 0 0 -35em;}
 img {vertical-align:bottom;border:0;}
 em { display: block; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 5px; }

 Note
 - the margin on dd should be the height of your images (if they're of
 different sizes, the maximum height among all of them).
 - the width on dt,dd and the negative margin dd should be large
 enough to be bigger than the widest of your images.

 Unfortunately, because you're images are so much larger than the
 original example, if you use ems (as I've done above) and then
 increase the font size, the dds will get so large, they'll be off the
 page to the right.  So in your case, you might consider using a pixel
 size, say 365px and then just live with the fact that it isn't quite
 as scalable anymore.  In this case, that's really not that big a deal
 because most resolutions won't fit more than 3 365px images (with
 spacing) side by side anyway.

  Yes - humungus is the word. ;-)
 
  No - I was rather looking for better way to display a small photo
  album - say a page with 10 images about that size and not use
  thumbnails.
 
  Up until now I have been giving each photo a div - floated left
 
 
  div class=leftimg img src=/img/x.jpg alt=xxx width=xxx
  height=xxx  border=0 /
  p class=photolegendxxx/p
  /div
 
  keeping to keep the text photo legend within the same width as the
  photo I have had to use a selection of css rules or determine the size
  with php - but as I say this must be inefficient / bloated etc.
 
  I thought your idea rather better -

[css-d] ADMIN: Posting policies

2007-08-10 Thread Eric A. Meyer
Hello all,

Every now and again I post a reminder that we have policies 
regarding excessive quoting and top-posting.
Okay, actually we only have a policy about excessive quoting, 
which is: don't.  Trim quoted material down to an absolute minimum. 
Doing so is considerate of others.  Not doing so is inconsiderate. 
Please remember this when replying to messages.
Top-posting is just something I tend to frown on, because I'm 
totally old-school and think that, as someone said, 'me to sense no 
makes posting top'.  (Come to think of it, that might have been 
Borat.)
If you're unclear on any of this, or were unaware that the list 
even has policies, please see http://css-discuss.org/policies.html. 
Thanks.
