[css-d] CSS2.1 User Agent Style Sheet Defaults

2008-07-25 Thread Alan Gresley
Hello everyone,

To let us move on to more constructive CSS (away from any distractions), 
I would like to bring to your attention this table of CSS2.1 User Agent 
Style Sheet Defaults.




This table is base largely on a table complied by Saloni Mira Rai from 
MS covering Appendix D [1] which has come under recent discussion on the 
CSS WG mailing list [2]. I have added to it and adjusted a few of the 
default values. Since the propose adjustments of the *h1..h6 headings* 
from pixels to ems value hasn't materialized (in any correct manner) I 
find that I have a huge job in getting this correct.

I would please welcome any help with getting this table right (pixels to 
ems value). Please reply offlist with any offers. I have a test case of 
block level elements for this purpose (test with a UA font size setting 
of 16px).




I have this table on my server for the purpose (hope) of a better 
understanding of UA default style sheets. These are the defaults that 
are overridden by *universal resets* and which results in many author 
style sheets becoming more difficult to follow since this requires a 
sequence of chained selectors,

#id #id .class p
#id #id .class p

etc

to build the CSS back up. I believe that CSS wasn't meant to be done in 
this manner.

It's David (Laakso).
Why don't you do a minimum of homework?
Going through a few posts (he's a regular) you'd have found that domain name

Why don't you try to remove the wrapping div, or otherwise try to
experiment yourself? Never ask a "yes/no" question, because all too
often, these are so trivially easy to find out yourself. "Does this
work?" -> "Well maybe it does, why don't you try?"

You really need to provide some more context. What #topbar? You want
me to backtrack the emails in order to figure out what you're on now?
What's the code.

I know you're "almost" there with your site, but for future reference,
maybe try to heed some of the advice you'll find here

You need to validate your CSS every time you post a new page.  You currently 
[1] have two errors; one that may be having an effect your #flashbox.

It was pointed out in a earlier thread [2] that you *cannot use* negative 
padding.  You have padding-top -12px on #flashbox and padding-left -12px on 


I does make *me*  wonder if you *understand*  CSS as well as *you*  think 
you do.

Christopher:

I think these are the points Ingo, David, and others, including myself are 
trying to make.

1. This is a list discussing CSS issues.
2. There is a list wiki, http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ and list archives 
http://archivist.incutio.com/viewlist/css-discuss/ that may already cover 
you questions.
3. It is not a CSS tutorial list.
4. It is not a list relevent to discussing or fixing HTML outside of its 
connection to CSS. For that see here, http://webdesign-l.com/
5. It is surely not a list for site development, especially SINCE ADVICE 
HERE IS FREE, NOT PAID FOR.
6. People generally post to the list with their websites already having 
substantially complete and functional HTML and CSS.
7. You came to the list with your site woefully under-developed, and 
yourself seemingly woefully under-resourced.
8. Failure to plan on your part does not constitute an emergency for the 
list.

My recommendations are: do #6, avoid #7 and #8, search #2, adhere to #1. 
You'll get willing assistance instead of being called a troll.

I have to admit defeat here, David, as this routine appears to be way 
over my head.

I have a 20x2000px background image that I want to repeat horizontally. 
I'm really not getting how the TIP method will work with this.

Also, what do you mean by "off-left"? Float:left?

Good One,

You done good. Tripping a little on over-coding, and clearing stuff. 
Keep it simple. Code to compliant browsers. Helps to start with a layout 
that is known to work cross-browser. Here are some [1].

This is a spin with your stuff on n.35 (checked in ie/7, ie/6, and 
compliant browsers...

As ever,
Evil One

PS There are resource links on the list wiki that will point you toward 
a solution for most any problem.

[css-d] Web Site Dev & Beefs

2008-07-25 Thread Christopher
Over the course of the past few days, I have asked numerous questions 
about my site.  Now I know I'm not a CSS\HTML guru but I have learned
a lot from the people of this list, enough to have a much stronger 
understanding. I'm just trying to solve two or three more problems and 
although it is
benificial to have a understanding of CSS and HTML, I feel I have that 
understanding, although some of you on the list probably would disagree 
with me, but that is your opinion.
I'm just trying to get a site developed in a very short amount of time. 

Now that I have reached that point and got my site to the point I want 
it, many question me,making me feel uncapable of designing a site.  Recently
I had asked how to get #flashbox in the position that I need ? And how 
come it breaks up in IE7 ? Instead I got "remove this guy", "you're 
wasting everyones time", "learn
CSS".  Although some did help things did not work out as expected so I 
had to re-ask the question not cause I wanted too, but rather I was not 
getting the knowledge I needed.

Secondly I appreciate all the help I got up to this point., and even the 
template. I would like to know how to fix it on my HTML instead of using 
a template. 

If anyone is willing to help me in that manner I am all ears.

Re: [css-d] IE6 a:hover issue - all images disappear!!

 look at this article and see if it relates to your issue.  It sounds
like it might:
http://www.fivesevensix.com/studies/ie6flicker/ .  A google of "IE6

Christopher,

You are not really being fair with the list and its members.
Over the course of 2 weeks, I stepped you through, off-list, all of the  
questions that you are now reposting.
Maybe you have deleted the close to 400 emails with all of the  
instructions and explanations about both the html structure and the CSS.
For whatever reason you broke the contact at the stage where the test  
pages were in need of commitment from you.
A) Define your navigation
B) Provide specimen content for final adjustment of the layout.
C) Finalisation of the colors and fonts.
D) Testing and adjusting for cross browser conformance, particularly  
MSIE/6.

The evolved specimen pages are still in residence on my server:

The eventual html built version is

http://www.mndhill.com/christest/chris/dh-prodsite-08.html

with a partially width controlled version of the page at

http://www.mndhill.com/christest/chris/dh-prodsite-08a.html

and finally the fully graphic version that you chose to go with at

http://www.mndhill.com/christest/chris/dh-prodsite-2-02.html

You will find that all of the code is fully valid, maybe not as neat as I  
would prefer.
I suggest you look back through the emails for the links given and the css  
explanations that I provided.

I will leave your access to my server available for a further 2 days so  
that you have no difficulty in retrieving the files if you no longer have  
them

Good luck

Duncan

[css-d] right content 'droping' and gap at top

2008-07-25 Thread good one

Hello please can I get some advice on this, I'm a newbie on this css stuff.  
1)The div id="cont" drops down
2)The whole div id="central" (which contains the cont div) is not closeup ie 
there is a gap between it and the topnavigation 
3)I using a div as clearboth I don't know if that is a correct way of doing it
 
This is the short code that needs no images and can be seen but cutting and 
pasting if needs be.
It is validated strict xhtml-I don't have any non-domained hosting that I can 
show you the site live on. Thanks
