I don't think that the cases where width:auto means fit the content are related to difficulties in knowing what the available width in the containing block is (and anyway the 'available' width takes part in the shrink-to-fit computation, whose algorithm is intentionally 'not exactly' defined in the CSS 2.1 specs.) I think they are simply cases where a different behavior has been deemed more useful and natural. For example floats that would take all the available width would defeat their 'floating' behavior, making width:auto on them practically useless.

[css-d] Puzzling IE7 behavior when scaling radio inputs
I am puzzled by some weird behavior by IE7. I want a design that people can scale reliably to help folks who want larger size print. So I have a page design that uses relative sizes. Works nicely with FireFox, Opera, etc. but IE7, with its peculiar zooming way of scaling, gets messed up. Example is at... http://staff.washington.edu/rells/test/puzzle/ At normal size, no problem. The tan Introduction bar is tight up against the top blue bar. Using IE7, if you scale up the size, a separation appears between the two bars and the radio button input fields begin to overlap their text labels. Scaling down to small sizes, the tan bar actually decreases height so much that it cuts off the Introduction text. |- Rick Ells - 543-2875 - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Rm 011S MGH Bldg -| |-http://staff.washington.edu/rells/ -| __ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/

The gap/overlap between the tan bar and the above box is caused by the latter having position:relative, see [1]. Adding position:relative to body should fix this. The other problem (radio buttons/text overlapping) seems one of the cases that I tried to describe here [2] (I have an example with a checkbox.)

Try adding {zoom:1%} to your #footer declaration to give it the
hasLayout property. Doing that fixed it for me on IE6. IE7 (XPSP2)
didn't appear to cause any trouble for me.

[css-d] IE7 png problem
Hello everyone my name's Mark.
Been struggling with a remake of my site have a problem with IE7.
The content area of my site is wrapped in this div (which uses a semi-
transparent png as the background to allow the body background image
to show through):
.content-inner {
background-image: url(../images/bg3_02.png);
background-repeat: repeat-y;
height: auto;
}
However, when I place a div to contain a thumbnail image within this
area I get a very strange result in IE7 (works perfectly in IE6,
Safari FF). It appears the background-image in .content-inner gets
overlaid on itself (effectively doubling the opacity of the png) only
behind the area containing the thumbnail containers. The thumbnail
container div:
.section-thumb {
float: left;
margin-right: 20px;
background-image: url(images/thumb-bg.png);
width: 120px;
text-align: center;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
height: 120px;
}
You can see the problem here:
http://www.smartgrafix.com.au/smart3/photography.html
I'd be most grateful for any suggestions on how to overcome this.
Thanks in advance,
cheers

You may find that 1% makes things a bit small. I suggest either
{zoom: 1;} - or - {zoom: 100%;}
Cordially,

Re: [css-d] IE6 and 7 giving me fits. Please help? - a further explanation
Hello all, Two of you have made suggestions and helping me out and I really appreciate it, but I may have not explained myself well. I'm doing a fluid layout and it works well in Safari, Firefox but in IE6, when shrunk down, it breaks up. In IE7 when expanded, it breaks up. I just thought I'd further explain myself. here is the site: http://www.sthig.com/photo here is my CSS: http://www.sthig.com/photo/css/photo.css Thank you for your continued help!

Re: [css-d] seeking browser test by Mac browser

I have checked site with firefox and it site works too, but recently checked on a Mac (not sure which browser) and what should be a horizontal nav across the header seems to break. What am i doing wrong? Was the browser IE 5 for Mac ? In that browser (which isn't really used anymore), the 'home' link is positioned incorrectly. And the large image in the header doesn't display. setting that image to 'clear:both' should fix most of your issues for that browser. You then can remove the 'clear:both on #main-body, as that partly causes another issue in IE Mac. The right hand column drops below the left one. One more fix to apply: reduce the left-margin on #sidebar from 40px to 20px.

Re: [css-d] styling for two monitors
So you're client is maximizing (or manually sizing) their browser window to span multiple monitors. First, your site is not the ONLY one that they are going to have this complaint about. Second, if the client is doing this, then they are already used to the visual break from left-to-right on spreadsheets, documents, web pages, and everything else. What do they really want? Do they want you to anchor it to the left-side of the browser? What about dynamically centering it up to a certain width. Someone else suggested using max-width. I'd probably probe further to make sure the centering is their *real* complaint. The centering might only be a poor explanation on their part. For example, do they really mean that they would like it to be liquid and expand to fill their screen. Think about WHY someone would maximize a browser window across multiple screens. Visual impairment? If so, then restricting your page to ~1000 pixels width and fixed pixel sizes might be more of the problem. Do they simply like to ogle their amazing web site? My point is, find out WHY they are maximizing across two monitors, and why it is important *and okay* that the problem exists in many circumstances, but is unacceptable to them with their site. You may also want to explain that most users -- even those of us that are lucky enough to have multiple monitors, DON'T TYPICALLY expand the browser windows across multiple monitors. Think about that for a second. Even the best liquid layout would be visually hosed when you viewed it across 3800+ pixels. All of the text would run up into a few lines that would give you a migraine trying when trying to read 2 or 3 lines of text spanning horizontally across 2 or more monitors. Then you'd still have vertical stacks down the left (and right) sides of images, nav bars, etc. Just tell them that you'd be happy to fix the problem, but it goes OUTSIDE of standard web design practices and it will be a considerable cost increase. ...Rob __ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
Re: [css-d] IE6 and 7 giving me fits. Please help? - a furtherexplanation
Hi Scott, Try setting the width to 29% for #nav3 and #picture. This should fix the wrapping problem in IE7. IE6 doesn't recognize the max-width and min-with properties so you will need to add an expression to calculate the width for IE6.
