[css-d] Issues in internet explorer
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 __ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7 information -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
Re: [css-d] Loading CSS background images
Bruno Fassino wrote: Mark Weiss wrote: 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. Bruno -- Bruno Fassino http://www.brunildo.org/test 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.

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. -Pat Gunlaug Sørtun [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Pat wrote: 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... regards Georg -- http://www.gunlaug.no - Be a better Heartthrob.

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.

[css-d] ADMIN: Posting policies
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.
