 Personally, I do believe this subject is most relevant to the practical
  use of CSS. Rather than a design choice it's a question of what is
  available?

  Accordingly I'll put a book in my britches and mention a resource that's
  a bit more contemporary than those already listed:

Thanks David for your useful resource.
Thinking about it, I agree with you when you say that it is a matter
of practical use of CSS.
Anyway I think that we discussed this subject perhaps too bit further...
Now we have all resources to make our choice concerning typefaces.
Thanks to all of the list.

HasLayout[1] triggers in the form of specific width on a container with
margins and IE/win's old 3px jog bug, all in tight corners, makes IE6
run out of space pretty quickly.

Delete 'width: 590px;' on #mainContent, and IE6 will play somewhat nice.
The 3px jog bug is still there though.


Alternatively - and *much* better, turn #mainContent into a float, by
using these styles...

#mainContent {
padding: 5px;
float: right;
margin: 0 -20px 0 0;
width: 600px;
background: #efefef;
}

...which will make IE6 play a lot nicer and render identical to other
browsers.

[css-d] Resize text based on container?

2008-04-09 Thread Dave M G
CSS-d,

I have a div tag that shows the name of a logged in user. The name can 
vary from 6 to 16 characters.

With the design I've currently got, most names fit in. But I've realized 
that if a name is too big, it runs past the edges of the div.

Is there a way to make the size of the text be constrained so that if 
it's too big for the div, that it will be shrunk or squeezed to fit?

What about accessibility? How about changing the design to accommodate a 
div that may have a name (you didn't indicate forename(s) or surnames) 
containing up to 20 characters like Christina Fitzgerald. That is just 
a random name length. Remember that text in input boxes grow when 
bumping up the text size.

Try adding a clear since you have a float #wrapper hanging out of your 
#globalwrapper.

#footer {
position: relative;
margin-top: -85px;
 height: 85px;
 max-width: 60em; /* change if changing #globalwrapper*/
 background:#fff url('/images/template/footer_bg.jpg') 
bottom  right no-repeat;
clear:both; /* ADD */

Works in Firefox.

 Gecko (Firefox) does honour the height. But it uses the 'border-box'

  width) applies only to the content of the box (the way browsers apply
  height (width) to any other block level element.

  For more on the difference between the two models, see

Hi All,

I'm creating a CSS layout for my personal website, divided into six
subdomains, that each has its own layout. In literature section I want

writing (Mistral, Lucida Sans and so on). Anyway, since I don't want
to create images to take place on the h2, h3, h4 tags, I was thinking
about a good font to use both for the banner and for the literature
subdomain titles.

Every browser can show the true type fonts installed on their machine:
if I don't have Comic Sans MS installed, my browser can't show it.
So I was looking for most popular fonts in order to choose one that
fits my visual layout intentions but which is commonly used by users.

Does anybody know about a list of commonly used fonts?
Thanks.

This is off topic. Where in the CSS specs does it list popular fonts on 
various OS. Knowing what's available for CSS font-family is good

[css-d] Adjacent sibling selectors not taking

2008-04-09 Thread Martin Sammtleben
Hi everyone,

I use the general selector to zero my paddings and margins. I then 
add in some defaults for common elements:

p, h1, h2, h3 {
  margin-top: 0.5em;
  margin-bottom: 0.5em;
}

...and then use adjacent sibling sel. to refine them, which works well:

p+h1, p+h2, p+h3 {
  margin-top: 1.5em;
}


Now I have a sidebar that I want to remove the default top margins of 
any heading elements on the very first line, so I hoped a rule like 
this would do the trick, but to no avail:

div#sidebar+h1, div#sidebar+h2, div#sidebar+h3 {
  margin-top: 0em;
}

Why does the rule not work?  Am I misunderstanding how these are 
supposed to work?

(Changing it to a descendant selector like   div#sidebar h1, etc. 
shows the desired effect, but sadly on other h selectors further 
down, too.)

Any help is very much appreciated!

Brother and Sister are siblings. This selectors div#sidebar+h1 selects 
the h1 following div#sidebar (does one exist?). It's a child selector

 You're running into collapsing margins[1], where the default  
 vertical
 margins - on the paragraph in your case - is escaping its divs  
 (#content
  #container), ending up creating a gap between the divs (#container 
 #photo).

 Vertical paddings on those container-divs will separate margins and
 prevent that, so something as simple as...
 div {padding: 1px 0;}
 ...will make it appear alright.
 Many other properties/values that will contain margins, are  
 listed in
 the spec[1]. You can of course also zero out the margins on paragraphs
 and add paddings to them instead - if that suits your design.

Thank you for this answer. It is the answer I was looking for. I  
discovered that specifying padding or specifying a border fixed it.  
Eventually, because of the content of the div, I didn't have to add  
the padding. The question was really to understand what was going on,  
if it was a bug or if it was documented behavior.

[css-d] Beginner CSS Having Absolution Pos Issue in IE7 WIN

2008-04-09 Thread Rhiannon Cunag
Hello, new to this list group and CSS! Short intro - I am an illustrator and
designer, and I reay enjoy making websites! I like the challenge it
poses on me as I am a visual thinker and am not particularly tech savvy,
though growing up with software engineers for parents, I am very comfy
around computers; I am always willing to try new things. CSS being one of
them! Having had only one class in web design where it was all about slicing
and tables, I've been teaching myself CSS. It's been a lot of fun, and I
really like it - except for all these browser issues! Onto my question - my
website I'm working on www.scotty-valentine.com, is viewed perfectly fine in
Safari and Firefox, but in IE 7WIN (works fine on IE MAC), there are some
issues with elements that are absolutely positioned. I've looked over
everything, searched the web and other forums for a solution, but I am not
coming across any that is helping me. Essentially what is happening is SOME
of my elements that are absolutely positioned are extending to the right
further then they should. Now, I don't understand why this is happening, nor
why it's only happening to SOME of the elements. Also, another odd issue is
the background in my header is repeating vertically beyond what I designated
should be seen (if that makes sense). Of course, I'm also having issues on
older IE browsers - like PNG issues on top of the pos issues, but I am not
gonna attack that headache - I will probably have to redirect people to
download newer browser versions ... I think this is a viable solution?

Any help on the pos issue would be awesome! I've been grappling with this
for a couple days now!

Thanks so much,
 Rhiannon

Re: [css-d] min-width: reasonable value?

Strange, at least :-)
Sounds like that banner will create a horizontal scrollbar even on my
3840 wide monitors.

 what do other people do?

Depends on the case, so we must see the live page to decide which of the
available solutions that are best suited.

Providing you're talking about a banner-image, I think most will apply
it as background and let the page be more fluid, since backgrounds don't
push containers and thus won't create horizontal scrollbars.

[css-d] Horrible Lag time in CS3 Design/WYSIWYG View

2008-04-09 Thread Craig Givens
I'm in need of an expert Dreamweaver CS3 engineer or guru to take a
look at why my CSS layout is experiencing such a horrendous 1-2 minute
delay/refresh time in the WYSIWYG. A sample page and its css files can
be downloaded here:

http://www.geocities.com/craiggivens01/cs3_lag_example.zip

It currently only renders correctly in Firefox, but everything validates.

I believe the problem has to do with the modules.css file and all of
the modules being called in the middle of the page grid, but I really
can't pinpoint exactly WHY CS3 takes 1-2 minutes to refresh every time
I try to either :

a) paste in new text content
b) add a new li in one of the modules
c) create a new module by duplicating the existing div and its container grid

Is it trying to re-calculate the widths of the grid? Is it the number
of modules called in the markup? Is it the load time of multiple
classes per div? Is it a syntax issue? I've been wrecking myself for
days trying to fix this but nothing works.

Any ideas are much appreciated!

At first, I thought that too, but isn't knowing what's available

css and thus on-topic?

Cheers,

This is off topic. Where in the CSS specs does it list popular fonts 
on various OS. Knowing what's available for CSS font-family is good 
information but can any further comments or links be added to the 
new section on this wiki page.

And who says this list isn't friendly?

Have you asked this question on the Dreamweaver forums [1] ?  You will  most 
likely get a satisfactory response to this question directly from the 
source.

You might also have a look at the CSS-D List WIKI off topic [2] page for 
additional sources that can answer this question directly.

Best

Re: [css-d] Horrible Lag time in CS3 Design/WYSIWYG View

2008-04-09 Thread Craig Givens
:) I know many are WYSIWYG averse, but unfortunately I have to make
this product WYSIWYG friendly.

I have tried what you recommended already and had already identified
modules.css as the problem. I've gone line by line but am stuck trying
to understand how/why CS3 is interpreting this perfectly valid CSS so
slowly.  I've stripped out all the orphans, removed the comments, kept
the bare minimum...but nothing works. Which leads me to think its the
combination of classes or the width auto on the modules...but I dont
know of any other way of re-writing these other than how they are
currently set.

:/

  Craig,

  I am answering 'off-list', as I am sure somebody will make the comment
 'dont use wysiwyg'.

  after waiting 2-3 mins for design load, I commented out the import for the
 css styles, and it loaded immediately, so I would suggest commenting out the
 seperate import statements in basehome.css, and then re-intoducing them till
 the offfending stylesheet is identified.

  then try stripping down sections, it could be a large css sheet
 (modules.css), but may be another.

  hope this is of help.

  Peter

[css-d] Submenu Vertical Position in IE7

2008-04-09 Thread Stan McCoy
HI ­ I put this together using Dreamweaver and their Spry Menu. Works well
in FF (Windows/Mac) and Safari (Mac). But in IE7, when viewing a secondary
page, submenu position is at the top of the containing div, and not next to
it¹s main menu parent as it was/is on rollover.
Any help is appreciated, I¹ve posted to two DW forums to no avail.
I have made edits to original css, could be I messed it up or DW failed me.
Link:http://www.vwc.com/ATC138_test/industry-construction.html.
css:http://www.vwc.com/ATC138_test/SpryAssets/SpryMenuBarVertical.css.

Thank you.

[css-d] displays well with Safari only

What can I have done wrong ?

[css-d] Resize an Image in relation to Screen Resolution

2008-04-09 Thread Daniel Anderson
G'day Everyone

I was wondering if someone could help me here. I want to resize an image so
that it changes in relation to the screen resolution. I am pretty sure the
size needs to be defined as a percentage but I just want to check.

The answer is yes, use percentages if you want to resize an image in
relation to the browser-window.

Screen resolution is something else.

[css-d] @media print height units

2008-04-09 Thread Neil Pharazyn

This CSS is meant to limit the printing of an html page (that may be longer 
than an A3 or A4 paper page), to printing just one page of the contents. But it 
doesn't work. 

The problem may be my use of cm as the height unit. 42cm is the height of an A3 
sheet of paper, 29.7cm for A4. Any suggestions.

html
head
titleoverflow_print_test.htm/title
meta http-equiv=Content-Type content=text/html; charset=iso-8859-1
meta name=generator content=BBEdit 7.1.4 
 
style type=text/css

@media print {
  body {
height:100px;
width:100px;
overflow:hidden;
  }
}

@media print {
  body.A3 {
 height:42cm;
 overflow:hidden;
  }
  body.A4 {
 height:29.7cm;
 overflow:hidden;
  }
}

/script

/head

body id=A4
etc...

The html says ID=A4 ! usage of ID
The CSS says body.A4 ! usage of class selector
