 1. header at top of page

 Can this be done with CSS?  I was playing with overflow:auto but it does
 not appear to work … can you please take a look at my code and let me
 know what I am doing wrong?

What you got now behaves like a version of footerStickAlt...
http://www.themaninblue.com/experiment/footerStickAlt/
...where you only need a bit more space added at the bottom of content 
to prevent the lower part of it being permanently covered by the footer 
on short windows.


OTOH: it looks and sounds like you mean:

1: header on top of browser-window.
2: footer on bottom of browser-window.
3: contents to scroll when necessary.

...which points to regular 'position: fixed'...
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/visuren.html#fixed-positioning

If so, then this article should contain all necessary information...
http://www.456bereastreet.com/archive/200609/css_frames_v2_fullheight/

The concept itself is used on my home-pages and section-maps...
http://www.gunlaug.no/main-en.html
...although I don't use a visible fixed header but instead a sidebar 
floating down from an _invisible_ fixed header.

Only problem is that _your_ header and footer together take up so much 
window-space that there's hardly any space left for content on a short 
browser-window.

[css-d] general css structure and positioning questions

2007-12-15 Thread Ron Zisman
http://www.ricochet.org/ricotest/ricotest.html

somewhat of a newbie.

on the mac platform in opera, firefox and safari it is basically  
working as intended, though each of the 3 browsers interpret border  
colors vastly differently. is it something in my mark-up definition?

is the basic direction i am heading structurally sound, or is there a  
more robust approach?

i suspect i will run into issues with ie on a number of fronts  
including min and max heights and will deal with them as the template  
gets more resolved.

thanks in advance for your time.

If you open it. Close it. Missing /div div id=superwrap

Re: [css-d] creating my nav in CSS

2007-12-15 Thread bill scheider
Hi Julian,
I only see the one style sheet, too. There are 16 validation errors on the
page; and some of them will have an effect on the rendering of your menu.
Sorry, I don't have more time to dig deeper.
HTH,
Bill

 Is there any way to simplify this and not have to create three separate
style sheets?
   


I must be missing something really important or you are working on the 
page right now.
I only see 1 style sheet not 3 as of this writing . And the drop-downs 
are not dropping in IE 6. In addition to using absolute position to 
structure the layout (that may, in and of itself, be problematic), the 
division #wrapper is collapsed and not enclosing its content. The 
primary content (center column) is escaping at the bottom with font-scaling.

Best,

Colors and exact appearance for 'groove' and 'ridge' are not defined in
standards. It is left to the browsers.

Looks like you have lost a div-ending near the bottom...
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ricochet.org%2Fricotest%2Fricotest.htmlcharset=%28detect+automatically%29doctype=Inliness=1group=0
...which gives you more validity-errors than there really are.

In your example both 'innertop' and 'innerbottom' can be replaced by
styling of the relevant headlines (h2).

Otherwise there's nothing much to improve on until we can see a more
content-populated example.

 i suspect i will run into issues with ie on a number of fronts 
 including min and max heights and will deal with them as the template

IE6 may need a couple of min/max workarounds, but IE7 shouldn't give you
any problems.

[css-d] IE7 site check/issue?

2007-12-15 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]
This is driving me nuts.  never have I had such a problem with IE7 - but 
I can't figure out what's going on here.

Can someone check this URL and see why it's doing what it's doing?  I 
think I need another set of eyes, because I just can't figure it out.

http://www.brassblogs.com/wordpress/

Basically, there's a horizontal scroll at the bottom of the page - 
*something* is adding additional padding to the right of the screen, but 
I can't find what (I've narrowed it down to the body tag, but I have 
no padding set there!)

Also, the main wrapper div is using the faux column method - the image 
is white with a blue sidebar.  In IE7, it doesn't start showing up until 
after the first post.  I have absolutely no idea why.

If anyone can give me some insight, I'd appreciate it!  Thanks :)

thanks for the assistance. suggestions incorporated in current file.

problem. file validates as css and xhtml 1, but it's not picking up  
the background image i've assigned to the #outerwrap.

 IE6 may need a couple of min/max workarounds, but IE7 shouldn't  
 give you
 any problems.

[css-d] Dropdown Menu Problem

2007-12-15 Thread Martin Davis
Hey guys,

The site I'm working on is:
http://dev.hendricksonforjudge.com/

I have two problems with my menu on this website. I tried to do a drop
down menu using the blowfish example
(http://www.alistapart.com/articles/dropdowns/). It works, however I
am also doing hover images that load on the top right of the screen.
So when you go to menu item that needs a drop down menu (about
hendrickson) it gets stuck behind the header image. How do I make it
appear on top of the header image?
Also, I need the menu to create a blue background/bar all the way
across the screen. Do I have to use an image or can I force the menu
to take up 100% of the screen and create a solid blue bar all the way
across at the top?

Thanks guys,
Martin

It may be caused by the italics (with date and author) in widthless right
floats. Try giving them overflow:auto
div.post small { overflow:auto }
(of course it is better to feed this rule just to IE7.)

 Also, the main wrapper div is using the faux column method -
 the image is white with a blue sidebar.  In IE7, it doesn't
 start showing up until after the first post.

The problem seems fixed giving hasLayout to the #main div, for example with
#main { zoom:1 }
Floats containment works usually better in IE  if the container gets
hasLayout.

Hope this helps,
Bruno
