Re: [css-d] A somewhat unusual template - to have ability to expand horizontally
Thanks Philippe, but if I've interpreted, and implemented, your
suggestions correctly - still no good.
David, the problem of the content (the table) flying to the left occurs
when you hover over the Menu button in IE6 (and maybe other versions).

Hi everyone,
The somewhat unusual template below (a containing table) is to handle
the situation - (shown in code below) of a dynamically generated table
that can sometimes extend quite wide - and the layout elements e.g.
header and footer should expand also.
This expansion works in the sample below, Firefox is OK, BUT in IE(6) as
soon as you hover over the sample Menu button, the content flies to the
left
Any suggestions as to fixing this up please?
1. Invalid html: a table cannot be wrapped in a p
2. Without IE at hand, I think you need to give 'layout' to #content
* html #content {height:1%;} or something like that.
Philippe

Re: [css-d] problem with IE 6 Double Margin Bug?
Gunlaug,
As always your help is amazing! Thank you. And also, Thank you to all
who have helped me along the way to get down to the point, where I
only had 3 bugs left to fix! :)
One question I did have though... I understand the .content {display:
inline;} and the leftColumn {position: relative;} but what does the *
html .wrapper {zoom: 1;} do exactly?
I put it up at the top of the css file, and it works, but is that the
best place to put it? Or should it go somewhere else?
Thanks again Everyone!

Yes, you have the right bug, but you're targeting it on the wrong
element.
There are also some other IE6 bugs involved.
The addition of...
.content {display: inline;}
.leftColumn {position: relative;}
* html .wrapper {zoom: 1;}
...will kill the right IE6 bugs on the right elements.

I don't recall the seeing the .6 tacked onto 76% before, but 76% was Owen

http://www.thenoodleincident.com/tutorials/typography/index.html
IE ignores the decimals, using 62% if your CSS specifies 62.6%.

Re: [css-d] Container Height Issue on Dynamic Page
Chris,
You need a height:100% in several places. My css definitions start with
this. Of course, font, background, etc varies by site. For an example go
to www.pro-web-marketing.com and click on one of the top nav bar links.
You will see that the right menu extends to the bottom of the content
Ignore the content, the site owner hasn't updated it yet. One other
thing... don't adopt the divname, divnamePad approach that is used here.
I've been advised it's bad practice.
For you then add the height:100% to any div definition that must extend
the length of the page.

Tim

IE treats a positioned element that has layout as if it would establish a new stacking context. float is a haslayout trigger, and most probably your LI have position:relative in order to offset the absolutely positioned big-image. (if not, the following is of no value, and you would have to post an URL of a test case). Now, all these LI establish a new stacking context in IE. And the LI that are coming later in the source are painting over the preceeding ones. Any object located inside the LI cannot leave its parental stacking context, it will be painted over, too. I don't know how you are managing the hover effect on the link to display the sibling div. But a solution would remove the position:relative from the LI and add position:relative on LI:hover only.

Re: [css-d] Container Height Issue on Dynamic Page
Thanks for the tip, but unfortunately, declaring height:100% doesn't work for me. I tried putting it on body, #stories, #container and nothing. I've realized that it's my #nav that's absolutely positioned within the #container that is the problem apparently. But I'm not sure what to do to fix it. I structured the page this way in order to source order my content first. I have since tried taking the absolute positioning off, instead using a wide left margin on the #nav and negative margin on the top of it to pull it up beside the other. That works as long as there is no text resizing. Even with pixel based margins, the #nav moves around greatly when text resizing. Is there a way to keep my html ordered the way it is, and NOT use floats, and still end up with a #container that contains BOTH of the things inside it?

Re: [css-d] A Few Problems
Thanks Philippe, I might try getting the site ready for XHTML 1.0 Strict. I assume that that DTD would work equally well? I like the look of your site by the way.

[css-d] IE6 and 7 Bullet Positioning
What is the best way to control the positioning of image bullets in IE6 and 7? They are rendered higher and further to the right than they should be. I have tried the background-image and padding solution, but it made the bullets render in the center of the li. Background positioning did not seem to affect it. It would be ideal to keep it all in the CSS, of course. My sample page is at http://www.bossmanmedia.com/ie6/group-center-form.html You can see the issue in the sidebar on the right.

It's a 'hasLayout'[1] trigger, and in your case I found the non-valid
'zoom' to work best - alternative (valid) triggers tended to have
negative side-effects. I also had to use the '* html' hack to target IE6
(and below), to avoid conflicts with some of IE7' internal bug-fixes.
Without this 'hasLayout' trigger IE6 seemed to interpret .wrapper's
dimensions a bit unreliable - changed positions for .wrapper's children
when hovering links - which is a clear sign that IE6 couldn't determine
.wrapper's dimensions and relation to other elements.
Triggering 'hasLayout' means to lay out the area of .wrapper -
stiffen up IE6' backbone so it immediately interprets exactly how wide
.wrapper is, and where to position .wrapper's children relative to
.wrapper's edges. Result: stable rendering.
I put it up at the top of the css file, and it works, but is that the
best place to put it? Or should it go somewhere else?
Put it anywhere you like where IE6 can pick it up, as long as it is
complete - as I wrote it. The CSS validator will flag it as an error
anyway - unless it is hidden in a conditional comment or something to
that effect.

Haven't had a chance to read all of that website yet, but thank you
for it. It's an interesting read so far! It does bring up the question
as to why exactly Microsoft feels they need to do that :) But I'm sure
I can search the archives, and the web to find out lots of theories
about that! :)
Thank you for taking the time to answer! Always appreciated!

Re: [css-d] IE6 and 7 Bullet Positioning
I run into this problem from time to time when I use images for my bullet and honestly...generally I'll just give up trying to fight it and adjust the position within the actual image itself. IE if it seems to be a pixel or two lower than the center.IE give my self two pixels of alpha more on the bottom of the image to lift it up. That probably is not the right way of doing things but I assure you, it saves me a bunch of time and headache.

FWIW - My class notes from 2004 blame this on IE6 on Win 98SE.
Sadly, I did not note the source for this observation.

http://www.bossmanmedia.com/ie6/group-center-form.html
You can always manipulate the relevant elements back and forth until the
image and anchor-text line up as you like.
The following example...
@media screen {
* html #info ul {overflow-x: hidden; height: 1%; }
* html #info ul li {margin-left: -8px; line-height: 1.2;}
* html #info ul li a {position: relative; top: -.3em; left: 6px;}
*:first-child+html #info ul {overflow-x: hidden; height: 1%; }
*:first-child+html #info ul li {margin-left: -8px; line-height: 1.2;}
*:first-child+html #info ul li a {position: relative; top: -.3em; left:
6px;}
}
...shows how it _can_ be done for IE6 and IE7. Other browsers will not
be affected.
Example tested for your layout, but the values may need some tuning
since I can't see what's right in any browser at my end. Your layout
breaks across browser-land and can't take any font-resizing.

Georg
