[css-d] nested divs-margins getting violated in ie

2007-10-04 Thread ROHITKUMAR

I am working with nested divs.
On setting the margins of level-3 div w.r.t. level-2 div, the margins of 
level-2 div w.r.t. level-1 div are getting disturbed in ie.

No Problems in Firefox.

[css-d] some text is rendering different between browsers..

2007-10-04 Thread Julian Tulip's Licorice
Hello,

I have what I am sure is a common question here,

I am learning the ropes and I am stuck, my source renders fine in
Firefox but it does different stuff in IE6.

http://www.johnkehm.com/kona

I put borders around the areas in question.
I want it to look like it does in Firefox.

Any help will be a big relief.

Thank you,

[css-d] Changing Width

2007-10-04 Thread tonylabarbara
Hi;
I'm trying to incorporate a drop-down menu that relies on CSS but was not 
designed for using images. I need to alter the width for each li elt. in 
order to get it to accommodate different sized images. Here is my code for li 
elts globally:

#TJK_dropDownMenu li {
?cursor:pointer;
?float:left;
?width:20.23em;? 
?max-width:25.0%;
?text-align:center;
?list-style-type:none;
?font-weight:bold;
}

Here is code for displaying a given elt:

li id=ABa href=whateverimg src=whatever/a/li

Now, I'd like to write code specific to that id AB that changes the width and 
max-width elts. Easy if you know what you're doing, but I clearly don't :(

.AB li {
?width:2.23em;? 
?max-width:2.5%;
}

does not work. I've fumbled around with a few variants with no success. A 
pointer, please!
TIA,
Tony

There's no definitive answer to that question, as 'absolute', 'relative'
or 'static' (default) may work - depending on how you organize source
code and CSS and design-ideas.
You may also float the h1 and position it with margins - positive and/or
negative.
You can also give h1 a fixed width and align the text to the right, and
it may work just fine.

So, what do you want?

 Delete the width on #wrapper you have given IE6.
 Great, that did it for IE. Could you elaborate as to why so i can 
 understand the reasoning behind it?

You have declared a 'min-width' for other browsers, and it looked like
you tried to replicate that in IE6 by giving it a 'width'.
Although 'height' function as 'min-height' in IE6, 'width' does not
function as 'min-width'.

So what you gave IE6 was a fixed width on a right-floating element,
which it obeyed to the letter and gave you exactly the line-up you asked
for - but didn't want.

(Be careful with what you ask for - you may actually get it :-) )

 IE6 also suffers from the italic bug, which you can try to

 Tnx Gunlaug... that's what you get for page filling lol.

I'm not sure about that, because what I see in Firefox is definitely
*not* what you want it to look like in IE/win.

Before attempting to make anything look the same across browser-land,
you should see what happens when your document is subjected to
font-resizing in browsers.
Options like 'minimum font size' and IE/win's 'ignore font sizes' should
not be forgotten...

Ignoring these factors is a recipe for complete failure.



Leaving the source code in such a sorry state...

Hi Philippe

I would disagree with you on your last point since the 3rd`image is layered 
over a float and I believe that should only happen if the 3rd image had a 
negative bottom margin. Having done a test [1], I would believe that Opera 
shows the correct behavior and it is the ambiguous nature of the markup that 
leads to the wrong behavior as seen in FF, iCab, WebKit and Safari (I can only 
check in FF). IE as 'usual' is just showing it's bugs with hasLayout and floats.

Erin, you will find three possible solutions in the source. All changes in 
style are inline.

You're probably looking for best practices, which may be good to have
at times but which shouldn't be taken too far.

There are basic web standards, and they can be seen as absolute rules
in a sense. Some parts of those standards sometimes even work as
intended by those who created them - in some browsers.

However, trying to apply absolute rules to how to use basic standards,
is the same as limiting design-possibilities for the sake of simplicity.
I see no point in such limitations, so I keep all parts of those
standards at hand, and mix them as I find necessary for solving each case.

The only limitation I accept is that it has to work. To me this means
work as intended in all standard compliant User Agents, which is not
the same as work identical in all User Agents.

So, it always comes down to design-choices, and the more you know about
those standards - and User Agents, the better design-choices you can make.

[css-d] Problems with printing in Firefox

2007-10-04 Thread Editors
I'm very new to CSS and I'm hoping that list members might be able to  
help me.

I've redone a small site (www.local-history.co.uk/nlha) for a  
voluntary organisation, using CSS, and everything seemed to go pretty  
well, with both the CSS and the mark-up being validated successfully.  
I've loaded the site successfully in Safari and Firefox in OS X and  
in Firefox and IE in Windows XP but when I came to try and print out  
the 'How to join the Association' page I couldn't get Firefox in  
either OS X or in Windows to co-operate. Both Safari in OS X and IE  
in Windows XP printed it without any problems, but Firefox in OS X  
just printed a blank page and Firefox in Windows XP printed one of  
each of the page title, the URL, the date and '1 of 1' at one of the  
four corners of the page.

Firefox is my favourite browser in both OS X and Windows, so I've  
been very surprised by this problem. Any advice or observations which  
list members can offer would be much appreciated. I've been wondering  
whether the problem has been caused by my using a content wrapper to  
centre the whole page in the browser window? The style-sheet is at  
www.local-history.co.uk/nlha/global.css.

Many thanks

[css-d] Hosted, Site-Specific User Stylesheet

2007-10-04 Thread Jason Karns
I've had this idea brewing in my head for a while now concerning user
style sheets and I thought I'd run it by the list and get some
feedback on the idea.

The issue I'm trying to address, is that people who use user style
sheets usually have site-specific style sheets but they can only be
applied via the browser (natively or with extensions).  This means
that if one had multiple machines, the user style sheet would have to
be saved on each machine, which may not even be possible (public
access computers, for instance).  This led to the idea of having
hosted user style sheets, where the web application stored the style
sheet along with the rest of the user's profile information.
Therefore, whenever, wherever and however the user signed on, the user
styles would take hold.  Obviously, this introduces serious potential
security risks.  Without any intensive research, my initial idea is to
simply run any user styles through a CSS validator and to reject
anything that isn't fully valid.  This should keep users from being
able to inject javascript, etc.  Although before this is ever
implemented, serious security testing would be done.

Any thoughts or comments on this idea?

Re: [css-d] Hosted, Site-Specific User Stylesheet

2007-10-04 Thread Rafael
It's an interesting idea... it's like userstyles.org but without the 
requirement of the Stylish extension (AFAIK only Fx). But there's 
something I don't quite understand, how would you apply those styles?

If you want that to be browser-independent the only way I see is for 
the site to apply itself, meaning you would need both parts, the site 
owners and the users, to sign in in your site (which, although not 
impossible, would limit your site a lot). I mean, the site owners would 
be giving your site basically total control over their layout, and this 
seem to be quite risky for them ---there would be no need to crack any 
of those sites if they can break yours.

On the other hand, this could be well received for small, personal 
and some adventurers out there :)

This is a neat idea. I have no input at all on the technical side of  
things, but usability-wise I would love to see this have a community/ 
social aspect, so people can use each others' style sheets and  
perhaps vote or comment on them as well. Imagine the fierce the

CSS can’t ‘break’ sites: It's completely presentational and functionally 
harmless. Things with a far greater degree of power already exist 
[http://www.cssfly.net].

I'm not sure how useful an idea this is. I've been thinking recently 
about the possibility of developing some clever algorithm to make sites 
printer-friendly: I like to print out lengthy and interesting articles 
from my favourite zines and blogs, and often end up using the FF 
developer toolbar[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/60]'s 
CSS editor to put a display:none on navigation, adverts, forms, 
comments. Mind you if this is an extended application of an already 
succesful premise, it must be worthwhile.

So sell your idea to a serious back-ender. The notion that modifying CSS 
might cause security worries doesn't bode well for how far you've 
envisioned the technology!

Re: [css-d] Problems with printing in Firefox

2007-10-04 Thread Alan K. Gay
I have found that, while both the IE and FF print engines can be buggy and
produce different results than the screen, the FF engine is by far the
worst, and quite unpredictable.  It's been a year or so since I've had to
regression-test printing in FF, but I would suggest starting by taking all
the positional stuff out of your css (floats, absolutes, etc) and then add
it back incrementally so you can see where things are breaking down.  Once
you find the gremlin(s), you can use the @media function to feed different
CSS to the print engine vs the display.  You may also need to make the
print-only css different for IE and FF, so you will need to us the IE
conditional style sheet approach.

Good luck.  You aren't alone, but from my experience very few websites are
actually tested with regards to printing, so it's a bit of a black art.

Subject: [css-d] Problems with printing in Firefox


I'm very new to CSS and I'm hoping that list members might be able to  
help me.

I've redone a small site (www.local-history.co.uk/nlha) for a  
voluntary organisation, using CSS, and everything seemed to go pretty  
well, with both the CSS and the mark-up being validated successfully.  
I've loaded the site successfully in Safari and Firefox in OS X and  
in Firefox and IE in Windows XP but when I came to try and print out  
the 'How to join the Association' page I couldn't get Firefox in  
either OS X or in Windows to co-operate. Both Safari in OS X and IE  
in Windows XP printed it without any problems, but Firefox in OS X  
just printed a blank page and Firefox in Windows XP printed one of  
each of the page title, the URL, the date and '1 of 1' at one of the  
four corners of the page.

Firefox is my favourite browser in both OS X and Windows, so I've  
been very surprised by this problem. Any advice or observations which  
list members can offer would be much appreciated. I've been wondering  
whether the problem has been caused by my using a content wrapper to  
centre the whole page in the browser window? The style-sheet is at  
www.local-history.co.uk/nlha/global.css.

Many thanks

Susan Griffiths

[css-d] IE 6 Column Hack Help Needed

2007-10-04 Thread Frank McClung
I'm having trouble getting a third column on these pages (see link below)
display properly in  IE6. I'm sure it is just an issue of a simple IE hack,
but I can't see the forest for all the trees. The right column keeps showing
up at the bottom of the other two columns. I'm a novice CSS coder, so please
be specific as to what needs changing. 

 

Here are the offending pages:

 The large image on the left (sweetpea-metal2.jpg) in a p with class

 floatright. Correct behaviour. Then the 3rd image (sweetpea-
 metal5.jpg) moves up and to the right of the image #2, that sounds
 correct as well. iCab, WebKit and Safari all show the same thing.

 Hi Philippe

 I would disagree with you on your last point since the
 3rd`image is layered over a float and I believe that should
 only happen if the 3rd image had a negative bottom margin.
 Having done a test [1], I would believe that Opera shows the
 correct behavior and it is the ambiguous nature of the markup
 that leads to the wrong behavior as seen in FF, iCab, WebKit
 and Safari (I can only check in FF). IE as 'usual' is just
 showing it's bugs with hasLayout and floats.

 [1] http://css-class.com/test/imagesoverfloats.htm


Indeed Gecko and Safari seem to have a small problem with this type of
construction.
I haven't looked too carefully, but for Gecko it may be related to this bug
[1].
Essentially when they position the third image (inline inside a not floated
paragraph) they only look at the first float to decide how to displace it.
But since it vertically clashes with the second float they should take that
second float into account as well.
BTW, the problem also shows up with simple text (when using suitable
dimensions). See this test case [2]: the non-floated text partially overlaps
the second float (change font-size if necessary to make the problem more
evident.)

John,

Georg Sortun has already spelled out the problems.

This is /one/ way to resolve some of them [1].
Note that you'll want to use real text. But if you are compelled to 
doing a client driven photoshop thingy bites tongue, you'll need to 
provide an image replacement technique-- search engines and 
text-browsers are unable to read text set as an image.

A fair test for structural purposes is the layout should hold at least a 
+2 font-scaling in compliant browsers, and text-size largest in the 
'evil one.'

[css-d] Safari Mac site check?

2007-10-04 Thread Erik Harris
I've asked a few questions about the site I've been working on for my 
wife.  I've got one more, but it's not terribly specific...  or at all 
specific.  The site is
http://www.harriswholehealth.com/

One of her colleagues is a Mac user, and she emailed my wife saying that, 
both from her work Mac and her home Mac, she's unable to get to the 
site.  She's not nearly computer-literate enough to provide a reasonable 
description of what the problem is (she says her server is Safari, and 
she just get[s] bumped off).  I suspect there's nothing wrong with the 
site and that something is wrong with her Internet connection or her own 
computer, but I was hoping that someone with Safari on a Mac could check it 
out so I could be sure.  The xhtml for the page (WordPress-generated) 
validates, and while the CSS doesn't, as far as I can tell, all of the 
errors are hacks to make things work in Internet Explorer and Mozilla-based 
browsers, and given that CSS calls for a browser to ignore unknown/invalid 
values, should not pose problems (and all but one of them are for the 
contact form plugin and shouldn't affect the site's main page).

I've been testing in Firefox 2, IE6, and IE7, and aside from IE6's 
ignorance of the min-width value (which should be a problem for very, very 
few users), it seems to be displaying as expected in all three.

[css-d] width problem cross browser

2007-10-04 Thread Luc
 Good evening list,

 It seems i have a width problem cross browser:

 resizing the viewport gets following effects:

 [1] #masthead disappears while #masthead div and #masthead h1 keeps being 
visible.
 Desired effect:  #masthead needs to be kept visible.

 [2] only IE6: #contentright drops below #contentleft (upon resizing
 to small resolution).  Opera, Moz, FF, IE7 do not drop the
 #contentright.

 It seems a width problem because contentleft ends where #masthead
 div ends.

 I've  tried  changing  widths,  adding  widths...  even  messing with
 hasLayout    but  no  success. Tried the list archives but didn't
 encounter a solution.

 Is this something that has nothing to do with width?

 http://moronicbajebus.com/wordpress/wp-content/cssplay/pop-up-menus/
 and it just isn't working out.  The sub-list elements
 are
 now hidden, but I can't seem to make them appear on
 the 
 mouseover. I am also have problems with IE 6 showing
 a tranparent png correctly.  Firefox and Safari are
 both showing the transparency correctly.  The site is
 located at
 www.cometothewell.org/newsite.  The css is located at
 http://www.cometothewell.org/newsite/styles.css.  I
 appreciate any help available.  On another note, thank
 you
 for the help already received.
 
 Thank You,
 David Terrell

Try Stu Nichol's Pure CSS Drop-down Menu:

http://www.cssplay.co.uk/menus/final_drop.html/

Note the 'Accessibility' issue. When you set the ul li ul li a:
display: none; 

[1] All links and text contained that are 'hidden' aren't seen by spiders,
crawlers, and hard for Google/Yahoo to index, etc.
[2] Usability is an issue too. People with disabilities, who use assistive
technology for the web won't read or interpret what's hidden. Just some
thoughts.

Stu's site should help.

Cheers,

elias

Re: [css-d] Pure CSS Pop-Up Menu IE 6 png Transparency Problem

Looks like you have copied the HTML validator's Tidy markup verbatim,
which doesn't work since the pop-ups are nested inside the wrong li's.
Tidy isn't clairvoyant, so it can only create valid markup - not figure
out _how_ the nesting must be done in order to meet your design-intentions.

Here's a working version...
http://www.gunlaug.no/tos/alien/dt-3/test_07_1005.html
...with the same markup as what Tidy gave you, but this time with the
pop-up ul's nested in the right li's.

Doesn't work in IE6 though, as that and older IE-versions supports
:hover only on links.
You can use the whatever:hover '.htc' file to make IE6 behave...
http://www.xs4all.nl/~peterned/csshover.html

 I am also have problems with IE 6 showing a tranparent png correctly.

IE6 doesn't support transparency on 32bits png. Look for an IE-filter to
use as workaround.

Georg

 I had similar problem with Camino once .
   Wrap the img in a  p or div does the trick.
 pimg class=c5 src=ca/site/images/thumbs/self.jpg alt=

 Hope this helps!

 Thanks,

I was running an old version of Camino (I am new to a Mac), and therein 
the problem. The issue is corrected in the latest version of Camino.
Thank you to all who replied both on and off-list.

[css-d] Falling floats in Opera Netscape

2007-10-04 Thread Seona Bellamy
Hi guys,

I have a footer, which has a background image. Within the footer I have a
bunch of links (marked up as a list and floated left) and a copyright notice
(marked up as a paragraph floated right). In most browsers, this seems to
work just fine. In Opera 9.21 and Netscape 8.1.3, however, they are falling
out of the Footer div.

The easiest fix I can think of would be to apply a negative top margin to
the list and paragraph. But that would involve finding a way to apply that
fix only to Opera and Netscape. Is there a way to do that? Is this even the
best way around the problem? I've hunted on positioniseverything.net so no
avail, and Google isn't helping much either.

I've included the relevant code below, in case it helps anyone.

Cheers,

Seona.



#footer {
position: relative;
clear: both;
margin: 0 auto;
margin-top: -40px; /* drag footer from below the fold */
width: 958px;
height: 40px;
background: url(../images/telstra-footer-tile.gif) top left repeat-x;
}
#footer #footerlinks {
float: left;
padding-left: 10px;
width: 640px;
height: 30px;
background: url(../images/telstra-footer-start.gif) top left
no-repeat;
list-style: none;
}
#footer #footerlinks li {
