Re: [css-d] Site Check - Footer Problem

2007-10-30 Thread Tony Haddon
Hi,

I've only looked at it in Firefox. I notice you've a  div id=
containerwrapper
*and* a
div id=container

maybe if you put your #footercontainer within the #containerwrapper it would
simplify things for you?

Just a thought.

[css-d] Menu/navigation problem

2007-10-30 Thread Portman
I am working on a redesign for a client of mine and have run into a 
problem. The client wants a row of colored blocks across the top of the 
website and wants the navigation to fit inside each block. The problem 
is that when I design it to look good in 800 x 600, it looks awful in 
1024 x 768 and vice versa. I have tried using percentages, floats, etc. 
but am at my wits end on how to get this to work. One option is a 
JavaScript that detects the screen resolution, but that has its problems 
also. Any help would be much appreciated.

TIA,
Riva

[css-d] Why a space in IE7 and not in FF

2007-10-30 Thread Marje Cannon
Does anyone know why there is a space at the bottom of the orange box
(right-hand column) in IE7 but not in FF. 

 

I can't seem to correct this problem.

Re: [css-d] Menu/navigation problem

2007-10-30 Thread Portman
Hi JonMarc,

Thank you for the reply. I had considered the colored background to each 
li or a, but wasn't sure what to do when the menu ended. I think I need 
to try it and see what problems I run into. (The menu is absolutely 
positioned already.)

Thanks!
Riva

 You could use absolute positioning and left margins to make sure that 
 the text always starts in the right place, but then the header 
 wouldn't be liquid like the body of your site.

 getting it to look okay in both 800 x 600 and 1024 x 768 isn't that 
 difficult, but getting it to look right when text size is bumped up or 
 down, or with window resizing below 800 pixels wide is where it gets 
 tricky.

 just at a glance and without too much thought, it would seem like the 
 best thing to do would be to make only the top row of colored boxes be 
 the background image, then use background colors (or images if you'd 
 like) on the second row.  each link would then be given a declared 
 with which would be the same as the image width, and each a (or it li) 
 would be given the padding to keep it separated by the same amount of 
 space.  they would then lay out horizontally next to each other, but 
 if the user resizes the window below their natural width a couple of 
 the blocks would bounce down to the next line.  if someone resizes the 
 text larger, their width doesn't change, but the height does.

 if you want to match the blocks perfectly, you could always make a 
 taller image for the top row of blocks, then use css to set the height 
 using em, that way if the font size is bumped up, the link blocks will 
 grow in height, and so will the top blocks that are just there for show.

 i don't have a lot of time right now (it is almost midnight here) but 
 i will try to put together a really quick example of what i'm talking 
 about for you to look at.  if you understand the concept that i've 
 written about above, but would like some help with specifics, just let 
 me know.

 take care,
 jonmarc

Thank you for the reply Alan. I appreciate the comments.

I did actually change the block graphic so that the blocks are smaller, 
but the only problem now is that the links are not centered at higher 
resolutions. I don't know if this will bother my client, but will look 
at the code again.

Thanks for the effort and the help,

 Hi Riva

 These are the challenges you are facing.

 1) Designing for a certain range of screen resolution.
 2) Using in-valid html [1].
 3) Using inline style.
 4) Not using the correct doctype. The doctype you were using was putting most 
 browsers in quirksmode [2] [3].
 5) You had one set of a style block for #wrapper followed by almost the same 
 style block for htmlbody #wrapper. This  is repeated through the stylesheet 
 for other selectors. Surely those styles are not so esoteric that IE6 would 
 spit the dummy. It can handle some quite robust CSS if given a chance.
 6) One of your images is 540kbytes. This could be reduced to around 30kbytes 
 to save bandwidth.

 Seeing that your boss is seeing a lovely brickwall and visualizing the links 
 sitting perfect in each brick, there is only one approach. Fixed width 
 anchors and a fixed width navigation div. So nothing looks to odd, we want 
 the navigation div centered. This is done with an left and right margin set 
 to auto. Now since we just did that, we better fix up that background. The 
 background bricks must be centered also.

 Knowing the screen resolution you were designing for and seeing those heights 
 in your stylesheet, you may have been after a sticky footer? The design and 
 it being tennis would call for this I think. This requires a min-height 0f 
 100% set on the #wrapper. The #topper div must be absolutely position, thus 
 being taken out of the flow so now the #wrapper will rise up to fill the 
 space. We use the FooterStickAlt [4] method for positioning the #botter div. 
 BTW, what is the topper and botter business. I have done this reworking.

 http://css-class.com/x/racquets/

 You may notice that I have commented out some menu items. The design is so 
 restricting that I had run out of bricks. The layout looks quite good on my 
 1280x800 screen. At 800x600, please note how the left edge of the class menu4 
 div is now sitting on the left edge of the page. The result is that as you 
 narrow the viewpoint more from this point on, all the links begin to slide 
 right relative to the background and finishing at about 50px as the min-width 
 kicks in. Maybe a rethink of the pages and content will resolve this as I 
 believe five links is the limit you can have. Maybe some bigger bricks would 
 help. It is also possible to have have the menu span over two rows of bricks 
 and aligning each anchor on each brick.

 You will find some extra comments in the CSS which is embedded in the header 
 of the source. The reworking works in IE5.5, IE6, IE7, FF 2.0.0.8, Opera 9.10 
 on Win XP SP2 and have tested font resizing 2+ / 2- and minimum font size of 
 26px in FF and Opera. A read of this about font size [5] will help. I have 
 linked to my links page in my signature line of this message. Many good links 
 are to be found on this page. Good luck.

[css-d] ordered lists in ie - is more than 10 items asking too much?

2007-10-30 Thread Robert O'Rourke
Hello,

I didn't have much luck with google on this one so I've put together 
a demo page:
   
http://www.sanchothefat.com/css/bugtests/ie/ol.html

For some strange reason if you set 'list-style-position' to 'inside' 
on an ordered-list from the tenth list-item onwards the text-indent it 
creates for the bullet/number is lost. This is not the case for an 
unordered-list.

I've tried a couple of hasLayout triggers like position: relative; 
and zoom:1; to no avail and also text-indenting the li but nowhere near 
a fix yet. Any ideas?

I thought I'd bring this to your attention as a point of interest 
anyway even if no fix exists. Perhaps this is just one to avoid.

Cheers,
Rob

I do not know what problem you mean with splash text, but the third

Yeah, I agree with David - though I would probably have wrapped it in
standardista: Just be clear: are you designing for your client, or your
client's customers? :)

Your clients will ultimately be rewarded if focused on the latter,

not want that type of client anyway.

you may add whitespace between the list numbers and the first

On 10/30/07, James Leslie [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
 Hi,

 I know this is quite a well documented problem but I was wondering if
 anyone has any great, new solutions.

 It is the problem of IE6 reloading background images in links every time
 they are hovered on.

 I am using a sliding doors style technique for a few tabs as shown at
 http://jamestesting.metafaq.com/clients/jamestesting/debug.html  (CSS in
 head) whenever they are hovered over in IE6 the image is reloaded
 causing a flicker.

 I can't really do anything to the server to try to fix this (even though
 there seems to be a Dean Edwards solution via that means) and would
 really like it to be a CSS fix.

 At the moment the only thing I can think of is to try to position
 another image directly behind it so that the under-image is shown when
 the top one disappears but this will add superfluous code I would prefer
 to avoid.

My solution is to use the approach that has been christened Css
sprites - you create one background image which contains both the
hovered and unhovered states (whether they are arranged vertically or
side by side depents on the context) and alter the background-position
upon hover. I usually find that there is a nett saving in total
bandwidth as well as requiring one fewer requests.

Stress test it and the problems may become more apparent:  font-scaling 
at +3 in a compliant browser; and, text-size largest in the IE's, for 
example (the solutions are often elusive but well worth the effort to 
correct them). View the page with images disabled. View the page in a 
text-browser (Lynx).  How does it read if CSS is disabled? Should the 
horizontal navigation remain were it is (in the source) or should it be 
at the top on the screen, but last in the document source order. Is 
there enough readability contrast?

More questions than answers from this end. But the really great thing 
about all this stuff is that the solutions are almost always CSS based.

Best,

 with
 

 you may add whitespace between the list numbers and the first
 character by adding left padding to the first letter, e.g.:

 ol li:first-letter { padding: 0 0 0 1em;}

Genious, thankyou very much Jens

 I'm trying to remove the space in IE7 and can't seem to do it.

IE/win (all versions) has serious problems with contained floats, and
that image is floating - see: '.imgrightnomargin'.

Some alternatives...
1: don't float the image.
3: clear below the image.

[css-d] Box Issue

2007-10-30 Thread Ryan Ellis
This is simple (I think) -- I'm a bit new to CSS and still learning, so I
really appreciate any help you guys have to offer.

I have this page - http://www.vitalmodels.com/V3/

The columns on the right/left, the backround extends past the bottom
graphic. I basically need the bottom graphic to be at the literal bottom of
the div container so that it closes off the box cleanly. I have tried
vertical align/bottom/baseline to no avail. And this is only in
mozilla/safari as well... Any suggestions?  Also, the box changes size
depending on the size of pictures, so I can't use a set height/single
backround on it.

Also, a second question. The 3 columns (divs) in the main area, are within a
single container div... they don't push that container down when populated
with information, and merely overlap the footer. Right now I have the
container set to a height in order to look decent, but when it's set to
auto the content in the columns seems to do nothing.  I finally got it to
push down in Mozilla/Safari only, but the backround of the container didn't
repeat.  I'm at a loss here, I used relative positioning on the left/right
columns.

I'm trying really hard to switch over to CSS and have spent countless hours
already. So again, I REALLY appreciate any help I get here... thank you.

-Ryan

 Try this:
 script type=text/javascript
 !--
 try {
 document.execCommand(BackgroundImageCache, false, true); } catch(err) {} 
 //--
 /script


That's really useful information. Thanks for both the Q. and the A.

While you're at it, you can cheerfully omit the HTML comments inside
the SCRIPT element. It was only ever needed for Netscape 1.

(X)HTML will need a CDATA section - or, better, put the script in a
separate, linked file.

Cordially,
David
