For a case like yours with a fixed width and (preferably) a fluid

2 background-images - one for the top and one for the rest.

I actually included this method in my first response, but it didn't come
through properly since I didn't prepare both images :-)

Here's a slightly better prepared version...

...so you can see this simple method in action.

Needless to say it can be done with only one, large, image. A google
will let you find lots of variants that achieve the rounded corner
effect with one, two or four images, and the fewer images the better -
in most cases.

 I've been making things too difficult for myself.

That sounds like an ordinary journey from print to web design. The

[css-d] Fw: IE 6 bug or maybe my coding

I still consider myself a css beginner and like one I am having a lil 
problem with the way some pages are displaying this e-commerce site I am 
doing probono for a friend.  This is the final project in my one yr 
journey of free practice before I launch.  So, I want it to not have 
errors.

It happens on 5 empty categories.  Here are the links:

If you all could be kind enough to help.  I think it has something to do 
with how I positioned things.  I set some things to absolute while 
others needed to float and the be relative to later absolute position 
other elements.  Just thinking of that jumble gives me a neck 
ache...that's why I finally posted.

Thanks, thanks and thanks!

I have tried numerous ways to fix the following two problems - in vien . I
checked and both pages were validated. I do not know what is wrong:

1. URL: http://www.triviumwine.com/continuum_site/pages/vintage.html
Problem: div id=leftColumn1
Looks great in Mac (opera, firefox, safari) - in windows ie6 the column
is placed about 300px above the background and content wrapper.

Problem:  div id=botmenu
Mac (opera, firefox, safari) - small and positioned to the left instead
of being centered in the content wrapper.
PC ie6: off center in content wrapper and the font is not the designated
font or font color.

please help.

thank you.

1: the only problem I can see IE6 having compared to other browsers, is
that IE6 (and older) doesn't support 32bit png transparency. Not a CSS,
problem, and easiest to solve by using 8bit png or gif.

2: your layout breaks into two parts on browser-windows wider than 1024
- in all browsers, as the bottom-part breaks horizontally away from the
rest. This is caused by the end-tag for #container being above the
#bottom container, instead of below it where it should be. Test your
designs on wider windows/screens.

3: the SEO trick with a paragraph inside a headline is invalid markup.
At least make it a span in a headline (or something else that's valid)
if you want such a construction.

4: A Transitional doctype may be suitable/necessary when upgrading old
markup - to lower the workload in a transitional period, while a Strict
doctype is for new markup pr. 2008. Nothing old in your markup that
could hold HTML Tidy back, so my debugging-copy became Strict.

5: font-size in points (pt) is more suitable for print than screens. A
more proper unit would be 'em' or percentage. Regardless of unit; your
design shows clear signs of breaking /too early/ when subjected to
font-resizing.

Point 1, 2, 3 and 4 are demo-fixed in this example...
http://www.gunlaug.no/tos/alien/l-a/test_08_0329.html

Adding this in the conditional comment for IE will enclose and position it:

Re: [css-d] Works great in IE7, not so much in FF/Safari

2008-03-29 Thread tmesa.mesadesignhouse
I'll explore rounded corners later, when I don't have three sites to  
build, and a host of print jobs to build. It *IS* something I'd like  
to try.

This is year 5 of building websites, year 37 of print design. I'd have  
to say building websites is the most annoying, because the tools for  
doing so are so inadequate, *compared to the tools I use for print  
work*. Everyone talks about the power of CSS, but it pales to  
transparency in comparison to the power of Photoshop, Illustrator, and  
InDesign. The flexibility of the web page is a blessing and a curse. I  
do enjoy some of the process, though, and am currently teaching myself  
PHP and MySQL.

However, bringing this back to CSS, after fixing the syntax of one of  
the nested floats (in a div with a class) to float:inherit (it was in  
a div with an id, using float: left), DW's rendering worked just fine  
(rendering engine in DW much improved in CS2 and CS3), and the page  
displayed properly in IE6  7, and in FF  Safari. My other issue was,  
duh (to myself), not using the correct rule name for the donate div.  
Since CS2, I really haven't had too many problems with the DW  
rendering engine. Sometimes the rendering engine gets a little funky,  
but not often.

Now I'm off to another site giving me much grief, that involves  
recoding a site built using a sliced and diced Photoshop image. I've  
decided I'm not putting it in tables after all. This should be fun.

Re: [css-d] Button displace issue

2008-03-29 Thread Holly Bergevin
From: corey deep [EMAIL PROTECTED]

 I have an odd button element issue specific to IE6. When I create a button
 element and set text-indent ( to displace the value text ) the button
 disappears in IE6.
 If I add a non-breaking space , or line break or character before the
 button it displays fine. 

 http://thevenusflytrap.org/button_trials/index.html

Thank you for the online example. I didn't find any further trigger than the 
text-indent for the problem. Adding the space appears to be a good way of 
fixing it. But then again, it adds a space into the layout. 

There's an option to adding the non-breaking space, which takes more markup, 
but perhaps it's preferable to you. If you wrap the text for the submit button 
in a span, and then apply the text-indent to the span instead, then IE6 will 
play along.

Re: [css-d] Testing browsers

And browsercam is the only way you're going to get IE5 for the Mac to  
work, since Microsoft stopped supporting it in December of 2005,  
removed IE Mac from their downloads section on January 31, 2006, and  
told Macintosh users in 2006 (2 years ago!) to *stop using Internet  
Explorer on their Macs.* IE5 can create real problems for the rest of  
the Mac OS, as in crashing and kernel panics, so I don't know why Mac  
users would still be clinging to it.

According to your stats, what percentage of IE5 for Mac users are  
viewing your site? On my stats (I love AwStats), it's about 0% (5  
hits). Even my sister, who was a die-hard OS9 user because of some of  
her chemistry software, finally left the dark side. Is your client  
going to pay for the the extra time futzing with the CSS to make it  
work in something that shouldn't be being used anyway?

On my stats, Opera is about 1%. Konqueror is .1%. Camino is .3%.  
Safari is 16%. Firefox is 29.7%. YMMV.

To answer your question for myself, I have Safari and FF running on my  
MacPro and MacBookPro (so I really only need to check it on one  
computer). On my MacPro I have Parallels/Windows XP running on that,  
with IE7 (29%). On my MacBook Pro, I have Parallels/ WinXP and IE6  
(19.5%) (wherein I have to *constantly* ignore the Microsoft nags to  
PLEASE upgrade to IE7 because my IE6 is supposedly such a freakin'  
security risk). I suppose I should be checking in other browsers, but  
I'm not, although I do run a site through the Lynx checker.

I think I'll also install Safari on my PC, too. Good idea! I suppose I  
should start checking my sites in Opera, too.

 Since it is not so practical to have a lot of browser installed I wish

 Is that possible? Or do I need to ask someone to test my design with

Microsoft told Mac users in January 2006 to stop using IE for the Mac.  
You can't even download it from Microsoft anymore. Now it breaks

What do your stats say about IE Mac users using that particular

The comments are misleading, because pre-line is in CSS 2.1, too. And 
the comments are rather pointless, since browsers don't play by CSS 
versions.

Apparently the idea is to set white-space so the pre-line is used, when 
supported by a browser, otherwise pre-wrap, with pre as the ultimate 
fallback.

There's not much point in setting white-space: pre for the pre element, 
since it's the default for it in practice. Moreover, pre-wrap and 
pre-line are different and generally a browser probably supports either 
both of them or neither of them, so where's the point?

 What is best usage?

It depends on how pre elements should be rendered. This depends on their 
content and purpose.

Fundamentally, pre means 'preformatted text', so what would be the idea 
in setting other that white-space: pre for it? There _might_ be a 
reason, but this really deopends. If you consider setting it to pre-wrap 
and pre-line, check the CSS 2.1 draft for their exact meanings, and 
beware that browser support is limited.

 The comments are misleading, because pre-line is in CSS 2.1, too. And
 the comments are rather pointless, since browsers don't play by CSS
 versions.

.

Thanks for your full explanation. My limited understanding of the process
was in line with that.
I have inherited the style sheet and am busy rewriting to some kind of
standard. That one had me puzzled.

Thanks as always.

Re: [css-d] Button displace issue

2008-03-29 Thread corey deep
Thanks so much Holly ,

I think the span will work. its looking better now.  my button solution is
not ideal though... I am still on the fence as to what course of action I
will take.

The design spec for all buttons have rounded corners and gradient fill.
three different colors, over a dozen text variations. how to accommodate
this ... from what I understand there are two preferrable methods.  using
button elements (  similar to my earlier post )  and using spans,  such as:

a class=a-button id=some-button href=/my_button
span class=button-leftcap/
span class=button-textUpload/span
span class=button-rightcap/
/a

Spans involve less work with graphics editor, but it is alot of markup for a
single button no ?

  I have an odd button element issue specific to IE6. When I create a
 button
  element and set text-indent ( to displace the value text ) the button
  disappears in IE6.
  If I add a non-breaking space , or line break or character before the
  button it displays fine.

 Thank you for the online example. I didn't find any further trigger than
 the text-indent for the problem. Adding the space appears to be a good way
 of fixing it. But then again, it adds a space into the layout.

 There's an option to adding the non-breaking space, which takes more
 markup, but perhaps it's preferable to you. If you wrap the text for the
 submit button in a span, and then apply the text-indent to the span instead,
 then IE6 will play along.

Well, what I had thought was - 

button name=Submit title=Submit This  class=btn 
type=submitspanSubmit Me/span/button

with the CSS - 

.btn {
position: relative;
background:transparent url(btn_grn_submit.gif) no-repeat scroll left top;
border:0;
cursor:pointer;
width:98px;
height:26px;
margin:0;
padding:0;
/* text-indent: -px; */ /* remove this */
overflow:hidden;
vertical-align:middle;
}

Add - 

.btn span {text-indent: -px;}

And also in IE7.

You can fix IE's bug without adding anything to the markup. Just use
your favorite IE6/7 hack to push the button element back in, and it'll
turn out like this...
