Georg,
Re: http://www.theaterjugendring.de/index.php
I played a little with this. Adding an outer DIV and giving it a
padding-top of 1px seems to contain that margin-top in IE.
The fixed #sidebar seems to take space in IE5.5 and 6, forcing the
content well below it. This seems to work for those versions:
* html #sidebar {position: absolute;}
IE before version 7 does not understand "fixed" anyway, so that's
the best you can hope for. Similarly, no ":hover" effect on the DIVs.
Cordially,
David

Add...
#content p a {margin-top: -100px; padding-top: 100px; width: 1px;
display: block;}
...and the anchor will appear 100px below top of window and nicely below
the fixed header.
The anchor is actually around 115px tall and 1px wide with this styling,
but that won't bother any of the browsers that support 'position: fixed'
in the first place. The narrow width is set to prevent the anchor
covering any of the image-links above it.
Tested in IE7, Opera 9, Firefox 2 - perfect result.

[css-d] "forced" to set width and related problems
Good evening list, Somehow i'm forced to set a width on my contentwrapper: no width or a width of 100% cuts off the #contentright and the background image i had on my header when resizing to smaller screen resolution. I'm wondering if this is normal behaviour? The way i used widths now gives me a layout that causes a horizontal scrollbar in e.g. 1280X768 and below, but i guess that's something i have to life with. The reason i used the widths on#wrapper and #contentwrapper was the fact that without max and min width on the body, the #contentright dropped underneath the #contentleft which i don't understand: #contentright isn't floated or am i missing something here? And i would like to avoid min and max width on the body so as not to mess with IE expressions. Besides that i seem to have an accessibility problem in Firefox and Mozilla: decreasing the text size makes the #masthead h1 drop below the #masthead. Other problems i ran into and “solved” are commented in the css. http://www.dzinelabs.com/sandbox/madcow/madcowbody.html Css embedded Seems i caught the mad cow disease lol -- Best regards, Luc Powered by The Bat! version 3.99.24 with Windows XP (build 2600), version 5.1 Service Pack 2 and using the best browser: Opera.

I think I understand what you mean, it somehow feels "unnatural" the movement you must do to chose an option, but I think this issue remains whether is a vertical or an horizontal menu, since we use the same pattern, we just change how do we start (vertical - [horizontal - vertical] / [horizontal - vertical] - horizontal).

[css-d] opinions: horizontal vs vertical menus
Hi all, Here are some thoughts from my blog @ http://www.sunburnt.com.au/publications/design/horizontal-vs-vertical-menus Just yesterday I had a request from a customer to build a vertical menu down the side of the page in their design. I've always had a strong preference for horizontal menus, but have never really known exactly why. When trying to disuade my customer she naturally asked me this question: why? Well, now I've thought about it I've come to the conclusion that there are some good reasons to go horizontal instead of vertical. Here are mine: * Being evenly distributed across the page, they create balance which makes you feel good :) * They make better use of space as there is no vacuum below the menu which is common with vertical menus. * It's easier to read horizontally than vertically. * It's easier to move mouse side to side than vertically. * Submenus are easier to access as they have a larger area for the mouse to enter. * As people are generally lazy, the shorter menu items more common in horizontal menus are easier to read.

[css-d] Pulling my hair out with positioning - need help please
Hi, I have a client who wants a "send to a friend" function on his website. I found some code for a css div that appears when you click a link on the page, but once I got the functionality working, the positioning got messed up. I have been looking at it for so long that my eyes are going screwy. If anyone could help, I would be most grateful. The page is here (I didn't do the design, just the background programming): http://www.grafixer.biz/site/NewVersion/galleries.htm. The part that I need help with starts just under the tag - I moved the div there in the hopes that it would position itself correctly relative the body of the page. The link that calls this is near the bottom of the page in the . Everything is very rough as I am getting the positioning right before fixing it up.

You have more or less destroyed all options by setting font-size in px
and making all dimensions in the menu depend on fixed dimensions, as
that means it's impossible to calculate a 'width' for the ul that'll
work across browser-land and browser-options.
Anyway, declaring a 'min-width' and/or a 'width' on the ul is the only
option left, but I can not come up with a value that'll work in all
browsers since they react differently on that font-size and the fixed
dimensions.
A more normal, and working, way is to let the anchors and list-items
resize and expand as/when needed, and let the menu-container - the ul -
adjust in both width and height to contain the list-items.
This means: a complete restyle-operation followed by thorough testing.
A start could then be...
ul.mainmenu li a {white-space: nowrap;}
ul.mainmenu {overflow: hidden; height: auto;}
* html ul.mainmenu {overflow: visible; height: 1%;}
...which actually works quite well as an addition/correction to what you
have, right out of the box. Can't take all that much font-resizing with
the existing background though.

Georg

Hi everyone, Please have a look at this test page (resize the page to change the linebreaks): http://www.fjordaan.net/tests/inline-list-test.html I'm trying to do a simple inline list of the sort you use whenever you have a large lists of links in a small area. This calls for an unordered list, but I simply cannot make it behave as well as a simple series of links separated by images or glyphs. Two requests, please -- either/or: (1) Explain or fix the strange behaviour of inline LIs. There seems to be no logic for where it breaks, and occasionally sticks out of the container. (2) Tell me whether the approach using middots is acceptable under WAI-AAA.

Raphael said:

As I understand it, the most accessible way of performing image
replacement is the Gilder Levin method. It involves a little extra
markup but unlike most other methods it allows a normal viewer (as well
as screen readers) to read the text when images are off but CSS is on.
Markup (in this case applied to an H1, but that's just an example) would be:
Hello world
Note the empty span.
CSS:
h1 {
width: [width of replacement image];
height: [height of replacement image];
position: relative;
}
h1 span {
background: url(myImage.gif) no-repeat;
position: absolute;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
The technique does not move the text off to the side, nor make it
invisible, it simply plonks the image over top of it. So if images are
off, the text is revealed instead (whereas with a text-indent method,
images off/css on means that the text cannot be seen).
It also means that you need to use a solid image, not one with a
transparent background
Like I said, it does introduce a non-semantic span but that's probably
better than using a less accessible method.

I kind of misspoke - I don't mind the horizontal scrollbar when the window gets so small that it would wrap the nav. I meant I was getting a scrollbar when it was not wrapping, which I don't want.

Hi! Together with a friend I am working on our website: http://results2match.com (CSS: http://results2match.com/r2mgenincl05stylesheet.css). Our minimal requirements: - IE6, IE7 and FF2 - straightforward and maintainable design (xhtml 1.0; css 2.1) - SEO friendly Our assets: - membership of this discussion group - a lot of enthusiasm - improving our knowledge every day Our specific questions: - we do not have IE6; how does it look (can you install IE6 separate from IE7?) - how can we get rid of the division between the upper and lower part in IE7 (FF and Opera are all right) - how can we enforce a list to flow around an image (left under) Generally we consider the current implementation of our design very instable: a small change results in a for us rather unexpected behavior. An example: after the execution of csstidy with the option enabled of sorting the selectors/properties the website will be quite different (and not acceptable!). Thank you in advance!

[css-d] How can I prevent this menu from wrapping?
This is killing me because I should know this, I don't do enough css these days. Anyway, I have a fairly simple horizontal menu I got from CSSplay, which is using floating to line up the items and sliding doors for the images. Of course, when you size down the window small enough, the menu wraps to the next line, which I don't want. I've tried various fixes, but I can't get anything to work without either getting a scrollbar or having the menu be the wrong width. I'm sure there is a fix for this, I just can't seem to find it in my searching.

You can see this behavior by bumping the font size to +2 or +3 in compiant browsers and by ignoring the font-size in IE6 and selecting font-size "largest." The content should drive the footer down, rather than shooting out the bottom. The difficulty, I believe, is using absolute positioning for the footer, and setting height to the several containing wrappers. Additionally, the outermost wrapper in not enclosing the floats (or footer) contained within it. Put a red border around that wrapper and you'll see the issue. In general, things go better if you let the software (browsers) and content determine height; and, while absolute positiong might be used with your current layout, it just complicates matters and could be eliminated.

With XHTML, you can't have unencoded ampersands in your URLs. So where that line says "=TCE&Params=", it should say "=TCE&Params=". Otherwise it's trying to look for an entity called "&Params=A1SEC..." and runs into a couple of problems: one, there's no terminating semicolon, and two, no such named entity exists! Anyway, long story short: & has to be & for XHTML.

[css-d] IE 6 and IE 7 problems
Hello all! Thank you everybody who sent me screenshots yesterday. After a few changes I am still facing problems in IE6 and IE7. As I have no access to a window machine on time I only can check IE using http://browsershots.org/. Hope someone can help me with these problems: IE6 problems: - the items in the navigation are too high - the content is shifted down IE7 problem: - the content is shifted up below the header Thank you everybody.

Re: [css-d] footer disapears in ie 6
No luck. I couldn't get the behavior you mention. If the footer actually disappears it may be the peekaboo bug, search the archive google a little (position is everything) to find what triggers it and its workarounds.

The short reason is that by doing so you will affect (at least) one group of users, the more vulnerable being those that have images disabled (for whatever reason). Now, if you can afford to bother them a little (like everyone else does, hence not being so little), then use the text-indent method; since display:none and even visibility:hidden cause troubles for screen-readers.
