[css-d] top and bottom negative margins not working in ie

2007-10-05 Thread ROHITKUMAR
I am trying to extend an inner div out of its enclosing div by giving 
negative margins. The left and right edges are working fine, but it 
causes the outer div to also extend along with the inner div in top and 
bottom edges.In effect, the inner div is not able to go out of the 
outer div in top and bottom directions.

The problem is appearing in ie only. No problems in Firefox.
Any ideas?

Hi Rohit,

Depending on the hasLayout [1] status of the outer and inner box, IE
shows various problems in such cases. What you see indeed occurs when
the outer div lacks hasLayout. Try adding zoom:1 to it.  The inner div
also usually needs hasLayout and position:relative otherwise its part
protruding out of the container are clipped.

Hope this helps,
Bruno

Hi Bruno,

Thanks a lot man. Indeed the problem is solved. Setting zoom=1 to the 
outer box solved the problem.

Re: [css-d] Falling floats in Opera Netscape

 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.

Hi Seona

When you start giving heights to elements in such constructions you will get 
many mixed results, especially with IE due to height (and width) being a 
hasLayout trigger. The height of the footer can be set in pixels, ems or have 
no height given at all. Using vertical padding in the footer (as I have added) 
can also be used to create the height of the footer. This you will need to 
experiment with yourself using either height, padding or both.

#footer {
position: relative;
clear: both;
margin: 0 auto;
width: 958px;
background: url(../images/telstra-footer-tile.gif) top left repeat-x;
/*height: 40px;needs testing for best solution */
/*margin-top:-40px;  delete */
text-align:right; /* add to align the copyright text */
padding:10px 0; /* add to give space above and below the child elements 
*/
}
#footer #footerlinks {
padding-left: 10px;
background: red url(../images/telstra-footer-start.gif) top left 
no-repeat;
list-style: none;
/*float: left;delete */
/*width: 640px;delete */
/*height: 30px;delete */
margin: 0; /* add */
}
#footer #footerlinks li {
float: left;
padding-right: 10px;
line-height: 30px;
}
#footer #copyright {
margin: 0;
padding: 0 10px 0 0;
background: url(../images/telstra-footer-end.gif) top right no-repeat;
color: #99;
line-height: 200%; /* change to a relative size instead of absolute 
size */
/*float: right;delete */
/*width: 295px;delete */
/*height: 30px;delete */
display:inline; /* add, displays this paragraph which is a block 
element as inline */
}

The changes I have made are similar to how my footer and its' contained 
elements are styled on my site (link below). I hope this helps.

Kind Regards, Alan

Given the code snippets you've given (a url with at least a minimal  
demo of the problem would be much more easy !), chances are that the  
text will fall 'out of the box' in my browser, which is not Opera or  
Netscape 8.
3 lines of text will not fit in the assigned height of 30~40px.

A few suggestions:
* remove all specified height.
* for non IE win browsers, you'll need a clearing element, given that  
your #footer only contains floated elements.

[css-d] Anomaly in FireFox

Hi guys

Unusual one (for me). I have a div that doesn't align properly in FireFox

this doesn't render properly in IE6 (and is very clumsy)

I have tried a number or different alternatives margin settings to no avail.

[css-d] IE z-index problem

2007-10-05 Thread Niels Matthijs
IE6 finally got me.

http://users.pandora.be/onderhond/test_IE6_zindex.html

I know what the problem is, but can't seem to find a solid fix. This 
example shows the setup I want to achieve in IE6. It's a theoretical 
example, but one I can find no solution for, javascript or css. The 
XHTML/CSS were kept as simple as possible.

div class=top
pMain div A/p
div class=subSub div B/div
/div
div class=bottom
pMain div C/p
div class=subSub div D/div
/div

/* IMPORTANT CSS CAUSING THE TROUBLE */
.top {position:relative; height:7.5em; width:50em;}
.top .sub {position:absolute; z-index:10; left:10em; bottom:-2.5em; 
height:3em; width:8em;}
.bottom {position:relative; height:7.5em; width:50em;}
.bottom .sub {position:absolute; height:3em; width:8em; z-index:10; 
right:10em; top:-2.5em;}

Note that the position:relative declaration can't be removed. *Any* help 
would be greatly appreciated.

Sincerly,
Niels Matthijs

I'm sorry - it was always my understanding that using this method was

impressed upon me that using margin:0 was appropriate because it would 
cover all sides.  Using margin:2px 3px; was appropriate, because you'd 
be covering left/right and top/bottom.  Using margin:2px 3px 4px 5px 
was correct, because it gave each individual side something to work from.

But using margin:1px 2px 3px was incorrect.  I can't recall exactly 
*why*, but I always had the impression that it was because it was 
(pardon the term I'm gonna use) half-assed.

If I'm wrong, I'd *love* to know, because it's always been my impression

recall *where* I picked this up, or why it's wrong to use this method - 
it's been so long ago - but I'm always open to being corrected :)

 According to the specifications, giving three values for margin:

 The sequence of messages here illustrate pretty well, that it's a

How so?

It is a recognised and neat way writing margin and padding rules.

If it is recommended by the standards folks (link earlier on) who are we to

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:

Hi David

Seeing that the current menu shows the popup submenus misaligned in IE and 
Opera, plus having different background widths for the submenus in all 
browsers, you may wish to adapted one of my menus, which works and renders the 
same in IE7, FF and Opera. I have not checked it with IE6, but it should work.

David,

No worries, it's my pleasure. That's why this list was created, to 'help'
each other.

If you're not worried about Accessibility [which is what I think you
meant?], try using either the 'Son of Suckerfish Menu' via HTML Dog, Patrick
Griffiths:

http://www.htmldog.com/articles/suckerfish/dropdowns/

I think Georg sent an email addressing the dropdown menu? I'll check for
you, back in a minute.

Visit the above link, look over the :hover Javascript in the tutorial.

Hopefully that should give you the result you want. You could also use the
whatever:hover script or the htc(hover.css) workaround.

Cheers,

elias

[css-d] three numbers

2007-10-05 Thread Complex
Using three values to set four margins is a little confusing.

IMO its appropriateness depends on who's going to be working with your
code. If you might be replaced by a lower-level web developer, you
might want to spend several more characters to make your meaning
obvious.

Legal and valid only means we get to discuss it for a dozen posts. :-)

Bruce,

Just cos, you say it is a poor idea, doesn't make it so.

However, no one is making you use it. If you don't like it so be it.

I have to say I think it is rather elegant and there is a neat logic to it.

I use CSS that I feel comfortable with and this has evolved over the years
as I become more knowledgeable (long way to go yet).

But hey, why we getting heated over something that is optional anyway. If it
works for you (and it does for me) then why gripe.

Have a good weekend.

Hi Jim,

Mac OS X v10.4.10

Safari beta 3 - the main text is tight against the gold edge of the  
picture

Firefox 2.0.0.7 - text is okay but picture slips down below the lower  
menu and main area gold border -- unless I change the text size to  
make it large enough to force the menu and border down.

Now that I check back, this happens in Safari too. I didn't notice at  
first because the default text size in Safari is big enough whereas  
the default size in Firefox is not big enough. Also my Safari window  
happened to be narrower than my FF window, and that too gave the text  
block enough height.

In other words, you'll have to find a way to reserve enough room for  
the picture no matter what size the text is.

 conditional style sheet approach.


Many thanks Alan for your good advice. It was the float instruction  
for the navigation div which was the problem. I had tried to write a  
print style-sheet originally, but ran out of time before I could make  
it work properly. I've now done it and it seems to work OK with all  
the browsers I've used in both OS X and Windows XP. The name and  
first address fields on the Join the Association page (www.local-

other address fields in some browsers, but I can live with that.   
Once again, many thanks.

Hi Philippe (sorry about the direct reply), I had that tag assigned originally

lot.
 
background: url(/images/kraken-head-logo.jpg)
 
so will go use the validator link now to see what it returns.  Thanks  =)
 
And Ian I was under the impression that a leading '/' was the indicator to 
force the browser to map from the context root, so ../ shouldn't be required in 
this format.   Do I have that right?

 #tab1 {

 background-image: url(/images/kraken-head-logo.jpg)

 But the image doesn't show.

Invalid syntax [1].
You probably want
'background: url() no-repeat transparent top'
instead of what you have

A quick trip to the CSS validator would have told you that.

[css-d] repeating a header style

2007-10-05 Thread Donna Watch
Hi,

Is there a way so that I can easily have all headlines (H1 tags) in  
my site looking the same.

I am trying to achieve:

the html has the text for, say, H1 and then using css, to obtain the  
result of

image left, H1 as defined in html text, image right followed by an  
image underneath

all in the same class?  i.e the style and images in the css so if I  
need to change them site wide I can?

I want a repeat look for all headers without repeatedly placing the  
graphics round a simple css defined H1 in an external sheet.

Any pointers would be helpful.

thanks, Louise.

[css-d] Safari Overflow:Auto Issue?

2007-10-05 Thread Chris Davis

On a newly developed site I recently got an email saying that the content on 
one page of the site only took up 10% of the screen: far too little to see! The 
page makes use of overflow:auto and the user is browsing with Safari on a Mac. 
Can anyone else see the problem and suggest fixes?

The page is here: http://monna-vanna.com/cast/

And the CSS for that piece of content is simply:

#cast {
padding-top:5px;
height:360px;
overflow:auto
}

Thanks in advance!

If you do see a problem, let me know what browser and O/S you are using.
Constructive comments always appreciated

Finally something I can contribute to the list! ;-)

Only 'major' problem I see in Safari and FF 2+ on my Mac is that the 
Kiwanis' logo slips under the top nav bar. It should be easy to move 
it up a bit but the  'solution' is probably to keep that bar from 
rising higher than a minimum value (while forcing the main content to 
remain below it, also). The 'problem' is that the logo is obscured at 
anything less than 'normal + 1' step larger. Are you viewing your 
browser at command(control?)-0(zero) or whatever it takes to make it 
'text size = normal'?

Maybe by giving the .nav a top: Xem;? Having X whatever it takes 
to push the nav bar low enough to uncover the logo.

Not sure that would work for .contain, however. Since you're using 
position: relative, that may automatically keep the main content 
lower, anyway.

Oh well, the experts will surely give you the fix, all I'm good for 
is pointing out the minor problem! :)

[css-d] Validation problems

2007-10-05 Thread Tim Offenstein
I am reviewing a page for a client (www.physics.uiuc.edu) that uses a 
hover class and some events. On lines 178, 194, and 202 in the HTML a 
call for onmouseover, onfocus, onmouseout, and onblur events occurs. 
TIDY and W3C are both flagging this as use of proprietary code but I 
think that's because javascript isn't being called for properly. Is 
this correct or is there another issue?

I do not have access to the code to revise it but I would at least 
like to explain the problem to the site owners.

Thanks for your input.

-Tim

Re: [css-d] Safari Overflow:Auto Issue?

 The page is here: http://monna-vanna.com/cast/

 And the CSS for that piece of content is simply:

 #cast {
 padding-top:5px;
 height:360px;
 overflow:auto
 }

 Thanks in advance!

Yes, this is to confirm that in Safari/2.0.4 the user's comment is 
fairly accurate. I regret I do not know the fix. You may want to 
validate the markup although this may have little or nothing to do with 
the issue at hand: same for the the fact that +2 font-scaling kind of 
does a number on the page in compliant browsers.

Sorry. I am not able to bring more than a user's observation to help out...

Best,

~dL

Re: [css-d] Query

 Hi Philippe (sorry about the direct reply), I had that tag assigned  
 originally and it doesn't work either.

with the correct syntax:
background: url(/images/kraken-head-logo.jpg) no-repeat transparent top;
in /common/kraken.css

It works perfectly fine in Camino/Firefox/WebKit/Safari/Opera/IE7  
when testing from my local dev server.

 And Ian I was under the impression that a leading '/' was the  
 indicator to force the browser to map from the context root, so ../  
 shouldn't be required in this format.   Do I have that right?

Correct.

PS - I usually write the value for 'background' as
background: transparent url(/images/kraken-head-logo.jpg) no-repeat top;
that is [background-color] [background-image] [background-repeat]  
[background-position],
but that is just because I find it more readable.

Yes, that is a known bug in Safari 2.0.0.x, and fixed in Webkit  
nightly builds /Safari3beta.
it is cause by the overflow on the element (#cast), nested in a block  
with clear:both.

Fix: Use something like the easy clearing technique [1], or add a  
clearing element before #content:
#marquee {zoom:1} /* !-- for iExploder */
#marquee::after {clear:both; content:'[.]'; display:block;  
visibility:hidden; height:0;}

#content {
  /* clear:both;*/ /* !-- remove */
}

[css-d] Reliable Opera-only filter?

2007-10-05 Thread Micky Hulse
I would prefer to use a filter for the latest version of Opera that will 
be a good long-term fix. Basically, Opera gives a few extra pixels of 
top-padding, on a form input, that I would like to compensate for... I 
can live with how it is now, but thought I would ask ya'll before I 
scratch it off of my to-do list. :)

Thanks!
Cheers,
Micky

[css-d] blog: centering multiple line content with css

2007-10-05 Thread Roger Keays
Hi All,

I've just finished a blog on centering multiline content (horizontally 
and vertically):

http://www.sunburnt.com.au/publications/design/center-multiple-lines-with-css

The method used is display: table/table-cell for standards browsers, and 
a javascript expression to position the content for IE.

Hope it helps someone!

Roger

 Gosh! ... you must have stolen my demos/article ;-)
 
 Yes, CSS table and IE-expressions are a working combination.
