 Ed,

 You're quite welcome. I've published it here:
 http://www.theholiergrail.com/cssd/goodone.html

 From where I'm looking, Firefox Mac 1.5 and 2.0 do not render  
Helvetica with font-smoothing at this size (80% of 100%). If bumped  
up to 81.25% (i.e. displaying at 13px with the browser default 16px  
size) smoothing kicks in.

Also, line-height does not match other browsers. Setting line-height  
to 1.154em or thereabouts brings it into line.

Firefox 3 Mac smooths OK but requires extra line-height.

Graphic portrayal here:

Easiest solution though is to give Arial precedence over Helvetica in  
the body.

[css-d] Suckerfish -- jumping

2008-07-30 Thread Nancy Johnson
Hi,

I have had a suckerfish drop down on my site for awhile, we are adding
some new interactive pages that are not live, that jump vertically in
IE6 and IE7 ever so slightly.  What is live now jumps a bit
horizontally but not vertically.  Is there any fix for this?

 The only difference between between these and the new pages are that
the live pages are relatively static, but the new pages are highly
interactive with a multiple of if then statements, going back to the
database

This is a sample page what is live :  http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/ewr/xls.cfm.
This is the javascript https://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/includes/cssdropdown.js


Here are the styles I used:
/*ewr navigation dropdown menus*/
/*outershell to deal with IE6 and IE7 issues*/
#ewrmenu2 { width: 98%; /*background-color:#66;*/ float: left;
display:block; clear:both; border-bottom: 1px solid #99;
margin-bottom: -.06em; padding-bottom: 1em;}


/*actual navigation styles*/
#nav, #nav ul { /* all lists */
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
list-style: none;
line-height: 1;
font-weight: bold;
}

#nav a {
display: block;
width: 10em;

text-decoration:none;

}

#nav li { /* all list items */
float: left;
width: 10em; /* width needed or else Opera goes nuts */
background-color:/*#ff;*/#33;
background-image:url(../images/EWRNavArrow.gif);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: right center;  
margin: .19em .19em -.35em .6em;
padding: .25em .25em .25em .35em;
color: #FF;
/*border:#FF solid 1px;*/


}


#nav li ul { /* second-level lists */
position: absolute;
margin: .15em 0 0 -.25em;
background-color:#FF;
width:8.2em;
left: -999em; /*using left instead of display to hide menus because
display: none isn't read by screen readers */
border:#33 solid 1px;

}


#nav li:hover ul, #nav li.sfhover ul { /* lists nested under hovered
list items */
left: auto; font-size: 1.27em;

}

#nav li ul li {background:none;   background-image:none;
border-top:none; margin:.25em 0 0 0; padding:.25em; }


#nav li ul li a {font-weight: normal;border-bottom: 1px solid #99;
padding-bottom: .25em;  }


Thank you in advance.

What exactly do you mean by jumping. I don't see unexpected

Is #nav li li the same as #nav li ul li? Do you need to include the ul when

Re: [css-d] Contextual Selector Question

2008-07-30 Thread Christian Kirchhoff
Hello,

in your case the result should be the same.

Only if you had used both selectors, then the rule for #nav li ul li 
would have a higher specificity than #nav li li, so if there are 
definitions for the same properties in both rules, then the ones from 
the first would overwrite the ones from the second.

See http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/cascade.html#specificity for more 
information.

[css-d] Problems with positioning

2008-07-30 Thread Jody Ferrell
I'm fairly new to all this and could use a bit of help.

http://webct.mscc.edu/motlowtest/

http://webct.mscc.edu/motlowtest/css/style.css

First, the area containing the Search box doesn't display properly in IE. It
appears to be ok in Firefox. Any ideas on fixing it or doing it better?
Also, right now the A-Z image is borked, is it possible to completely render
something like what I have in CSS?

Second, the unordered lists in the News and Events areas have the proper
spacing from the heading in Firefox but not in IE. Yes, the heading is an
image. The designer wanted to use that font.

Any other suggestions would be appreciated. I really want to learn all I can
about design. On a side note, the design itself isn't mine. I'm trying to
convert a Fireworks mock-up to some semblance of proper code.

Thanks,

Jody

[css-d] WP captions ruin leading

2008-07-30 Thread Bambi Vincent
Dear CSS experts,

I'm trying to add the new wp 2.6 caption function to old posts. Just  
like when I tried out the image-caption plugin under 2.5, each  
paragraph in which an image is attached gets its line-spacing  
tightened. Why? How can I avoid this?

Although it's terribly ugly, I left an example at: 
http://bobarno.com/thiefhunters/2008/07/russian-rip-off-part-5/
You'll see it in the first paragraph.

Any suggestions for a css-idiot would be most appreciated.

[css-d] CSS Coding Ideas?

2008-07-30 Thread Matthew Stoneback
Good afternoon -

I hate to ask this but I have a dilemma I am hoping some more experienced
CSS coders can help me with.  I was asked to help a local church in coding
their website.  They have a designer who is producing all of the layout,
unfortunately the designer is not making my job very easy.  The design so
far is very graphic oriented.  The first file I was given to code was the
landing page.  I have attached a link to the two versions of it to this
post (.jpg image).

http://dev.eddysound.com/dev/rrc/design_help/RRC%20Landing%20Page.jpg

http://dev.eddysound.com/dev/rrc/design_help/RRC%20Landing%20Page%20-%20Glow.jpg

The first image is how the design should look when you arrive to the site,
the second image shows the over states (all of them are glowing at once).
The over state will appear behind the text on hover.  Only the circle
directly behind the text will glow.  I was thinking an image swap might be
the anwser for this effect.

I started to code the site and got this far:
http://dev.eddysound.com/dev/rrc/  It has an extremely slow load time due to
the rather large circular image.

Basically, can anyone give me advice as to how they would go about laying
this page out in valid CSS and XHTML?

If this is too far off topic for this list, please let me know or remove the
post.

Thanks in advance for any help or guidence.

It looks like you're heading in the right direction given the circumstances.

You may want to break more elements down into transparent PNGs so that 
it's not all one single 1 MB image loading at once.  Instead of an image 
map I would break out all of the hover sections into transparent pieces 
so that the circular area loads separately and is optimized maybe even 
with 8-bit PNG or GIF if it's possible. I would apply the circle to the 
background of centered DIV and possibly put the link elements inside 
there as absolute positioned sections.

Research alpha-PNG fixes for IE 6 because they will come in handy for 
you in this project for the surrounding things like the logo with a 
shadow on it.

Others here will no doubt have more advice...

 http://dev.eddysound.com/dev/rrc/  It has an extremely slow load time due to
 the rather large circular image.
 
 Basically, can anyone give me advice as to how they would go about laying
 this page out in valid CSS and XHTML?
 
 If this is too far off topic for this list, please let me know or remove the
 post.
 
 Thanks in advance for any help or guidence.

What you might look into is when in hover, showing a second image. Like, when
the mouse moves over the before you attend it switches the graphic out for
another one with the extra glowing circles.

[css-d] Help with Navigation Bar

2008-07-30 Thread taestrada
I'm having a few different problems with my navigation bar that I would
really appreciate any insight on.

 

1.   How do I center the entire navigation div? (I've tried different
things, but nothing has worked.)

2.   The width of each link looks good in IE 7 and Firefox, but in IE 6
each link is stretching the entire width of the screen so it looks like
these long bars piled on top of each other. How do I fix that?

3.   When I hover over each link, the lime green hover background is
taller than the dark green regular background, even though I have the same
height applied to each. (You can see it at the bottom)

 

Here is a link:  http://www.cascadepest.com/_NEW_SITE/index.html

The CSS link:  http://www.cascadepest.com/_NEW_SITE/stylesCascade.css

 

Thank you so much for any help.

I'm having a few different problems with my navigation bar that I would
 really appreciate any insight on.



 1.   How do I center the entire navigation div? (I've tried different
 things, but nothing has worked.)



   One way would be to set the nav division to it's accurate width (it's
too large now)  and then set the margin to center.
 margin:0 auto;

and you might also want to add:  text-align:center;  for older IE





 2.   The width of each link looks good in IE 7 and Firefox, but in IE 6
 each link is stretching the entire width of the screen so it looks like
 these long bars piled on top of each other. How do I fix that?



   I don't have access to IE6 right now, so can't answer.



 3.   When I hover over each link, the lime green hover background is
 taller than the dark green regular background, even though I have the same
 height applied to each. (You can see it at the bottom)


  Your nav actually is shorter than the height you have set so the
background shows.Just state the height once and make it a few pixels
shorter and it won't show





 Here is a link:  http://www.cascadepest.com/_NEW_SITE/index.html

 The CSS link:  http://www.cascadepest.com/_NEW_SITE/stylesCascade.css



Also you might think about switching from pixels to ems, fixing your invalid
html,  and optimizing your style sheet so that a lot of the redundant values
are removed.  It makes everything work better.

[css-d] [ADMIN] Some reminders (or, better late than never)

2008-07-30 Thread Eric A. Meyer
So it would appear that I've not been paying close-enough 
attention to the mailing list these last few weeks.  My apologies on 
that front.  While I'm not going to get into a detailed analysis of 
recent turbulence, some general reminders are in order.

* There are more than 8,500 people subscribed to this list. 
Please always keep that in mind when posting, whether with a question 
or an answer.  We're here to help, but everyone's time and energies 
are best served by making questions as smart and focused as possible, 
and answers as helpful as possible.

* On that note, I would direct everyone's attention to 
http://www.css-discuss.org/policies.html, where there is a fair 
amount of writing about how to ask questions as well as how to answer 
(see some of the points in the policy list as well as the last two 
sections of the document).

* Ruthlessly trim or eliminate quoted text in your replies.  If 
your response has less original text than quoted text, odds are very 
high that you're doing it wrong.  If you have an entire quoted 
message, with signature file and footers, just to type two lines of 
text, then you're doing it wrong, full stop.

In general, keeping things focused-- in terms of how questions are 
posed, how answers are given, how posts are kept on-topic, and how 
quoted material is trimmed-- is a sign of respect for the other 
members of the list.  As I said once upon a time, I really only ask 
two things of list members: that they stay on topic, and that they 
respect their fellow list members.
Please always keep those in mind when posting.  Thank you.

[css-d] Image too small in IE7, Padding moves footer

2008-07-30 Thread Carol Huddleston
Thanks everyone for your help so far. I do need help on a couple more  
things:

http://www.prairiedreamstudio.com/testindex.html
http://www.prairiedreamstudio.com/css/layout.css
http://www.prairiedreamstudio.com/css/allie.css

1) In IE7, the photo has a border around it, but the border hangs  
down past the photo by a few pixels. I can't figure out how to fix  
that. I tried using height: auto but it didn't do anything. Any image  
that will go in this box will be 500 pixels wide, but the height will  
vary.

2) The text is too close to the photo. When I try adding padding to  
it, it also moves the footer below the overall container div, into  
the yellow area.

I really appreciate the help, I am learning a lot.

Carol

[css-d] 100% height over existing page

2008-07-30 Thread Seona Bellamy
Hi guys,

I need to create an absolutely positioned div that will float on top
of the existing page layout, and be 100% of the height of the rendered
page, not the viewport. Something similar to what Lightbox does -
greying out the page and displaying a box over it. The trouble is,
because it's to display some legal stuff (of the this site contains
medical information that some people might find offensive or
disturbing variety) I don't want to use Lightbox because it relies on
JavaScript. Anyone who doesn't have JS simply won't see the warning
and that just doesn't seem like a good idea.

I've had no trouble making the div that sits on top of everything
extend to the height of the viewport, but if the page extends beyond
that then you see normal (and clickable) page as soon as you scroll.
Don't want that, if possible.

Is there a CSS way of doing this? Or am I going to have to fall back
onto JS for that section and just say Well, at least they see the
message if they don't have JS, even if they don't get such a nice
experience?

Cheers,

Seona.

overflow: hidden on either the DIV or the P should fix it.

No - and the Lightbox scripted method is flawed to boot :-)

Our Lighshow widget would do exactly what you need to do and be accessible 
if script is disabled. It's not free, though. I think one of the 
J-Query-based Lightbox clones might also work with some tweaking.

If it is possible with CSS, it would be mightily hacked and probably not 
practical.

You can also post this on a script or DOM-based mailing list or forum as it 
would be more appropriate.

That's fair enough. Thanks for the advice. I'm not sure if I could get
approval to go with a paid solution for this, so I might have to look
into some of the other options.

Will do. Thought I'd try here amongst the CSS-focussed folks first. :)
