Re: [css-d] IE not recognizing block level element in nav?

Give IE a real rather than a transparent link-background to hover on...

#nav a:link, #nav a:visited { background-color: #ad5; }

...will do in your case.

A transparent background-image can be used if a fixed color doesn't suit
a particular design.

 IE 6 and 7 show a small amount of the lighter green background color 
 of the nav div area below the white.

Making it...

#nav ul { padding: 0; margin: 0 0 -1px; }

...will cover up for it, with no negative effects.

Adding...

#nav { position: relative; }

...will keep the illusion stable when subjected to (enforced)
font-resizing in IE.


Suggest you add...

#footer { display: table; }

...to make that element expand to contain its content in compliant
browsers, when necessary.

Will also advice against font-size in pixels anywhere.

[css-d] content div not attaching to footer

2008-08-24 Thread Gianni Wise
This must seem like a basic question to some of you but I have not  
been able to find the answer through the archives.. nor through my  
own late hours at this first css layout site I am doing.

Basically I have 2 divs - right  and left inside a main content div  
which has a white background color. The white bground content div  
does not go right down to the footer. It works OK in Dreamweaver but  
not in Fireworks or Safari (latest versions). But it is OK in IE 5.2  
for a mac..
The URL is: http://www.person2person.net.au/counselling.html
I know my code is a bit messy in parts as I tried to compensate.

thank you in advance

You can't trust any editor's viewer, not even DWs. Test only in your 
target browsers.


Add to provide default browser margin/padding:
html, body {margin:0;padding:0;}

#content{
overflow:hidden; :: add to contain the floats
 }

Amend:

#footer{
padding: 10px 0; -::add
 /*width:110%;*/-::delete
width:100%;-::add
/*height:20px;*/-::delete
clear:both;

I have just looked at your page on two adjacent screens, one with IE6 and one

I didn't measure to the last pixel, but what the heck?

It looks fine to me. I see no drop down. :-)

Hi Christine,

I was not as fortunate as Alan and David -- I was having some real
problems viewing your site. These adjustments seemed to help for IE6.

Add them at the bottom of your head element to see if they help you:
!--[if IE 6]
style type=text/css
/* place css box model fixes for IE 6 in this conditional comment */
#bgContainer {
  width: 760px;
  }
#container {
  background-color: #fff;
  }
#mainContent {
  margin: 0;
  }
/style
![endif]--

Good luck!

[css-d] Centering Containers

2008-08-24 Thread taestrada
I'm having some centering problems with my navigation. IE 7 looks good for
the main green navigation (with Home, About Us, etc.), but Firefox is off.
(I haven't checked IE 6 yet as I don't have a computer at home with IE 6.)

 

The secondary navigation (Basics, Damage, etc.) is completely off. It should
be centered on both lines, and contained within the secondaryNavRodents
div. It is contained within the div in IE 7, but not in Firefox. 

 

I have the left and right margins set to auto, and a width applied to the
div - but I'm obviously missing something.

Replace these 4 the rulesets for these four selectors:
#topnav
#topnav ul
#topnav li
#topnav li a

with these:

#topnav  {
overflow:hidden;
margin: 6px auto 0 auto;;
padding:0;
width: 929px;
}
#topnav ul  {
list-style: none;
margin: 0 auto;
padding: 0;
width: 940px;
}
#topnav li  {
float : left;
border-right: 1px solid #FF;
list-style: none;
height: 42px;width: 9.85%;
}
#topnav li a  {
display: block;
padding: 4px 7px 0px 3px;
color: #FF;
 text-decoration: none;
font-weight: bold;
background: url(navBack0.jpg) repeat-x center top;
font-size:  85%;
text-align: center;
height: 42px;
}

Add overflow:hidden to this selector:
#secondaryNavRodents ul  { overflow: hidden;
}

Add this at top of style sheet to correct em font-scaling bug in thr IEs:

html {font-size:100%;}

Rule of thumb: Code to compliant browsers-- correct the IEs if and when 
necessary.

Re: [css-d] width:100% + padding/margin question

2008-08-24 Thread Chang Huang
Oh, sorry, I forgot to mention that #box2 is floated, thus it does not  
occupy the whole width of #box1. Without setting #box2 to width:100%,  
I believe that its width relies on how long the content is. Correct me  
if I'm wrong.

Thanks

/div
 /div
 #box1 { width:500px;  height:200px; }
 #box2 { width:100%; height:100%;  padding:10px; }
 The 10px padding of #box2 will be allocated outside of #box1.
 According to the box model, this is the correct behavior (except for
 buggy IE6). But that is not what I want, I want the padding for #box2
 remain inside #box1 and keeping the width in %.
 How can I do that?

 Assuming your code is exactly what you're using on a site somewhere,  
 the
 setting of 100% width on #box2 is superfluous. A div is a block level
 element, so #box2 would automatically fill the 500px width of #box1.
 Setting horizontal padding on a block level element without setting  
 the
 width essentially gives you the 100%-10px-10px that you want;

 That takes care of the width issue. Height is a little tricker. Since
 adding 10px to the padding of #box2 would make its height
 100%+10px+10px, you have to fake it by setting a 10px vertical  
 margin on
 child elements and preventing collapsing margins with overflow:auto
 (assuming you'd want overflow:auto for a fixed height box anyway).

 So, if this is your HTML:
 div id=box1
  div id=box2
pContent/p
  /div
 /div

 This CSS should approximate what you're looking for:
 #box1 { width:500px; height:200px; background:#f00; }
 #box2 { height:100%; padding:0 10px; background:#ff0; overflow:auto; }
 #box2 p { background:#fff; margin:10px 0; }
 The colors are there for testing, of course.

 In an overflow situation, collapsing margins will prevent any bottom
 margining (faux padding) to appear on the last element contained with
 #box2. I've never found a decent workaround for this, but the code  
 above
 will give you three sides at least.

 Hope it helps.

Yup targeting a class or ID in the element w !important works great to override

 Hi Elli--
 
 You actually have two separate issues going on here. The
 first is
 IE-lte-6's lack of support for the attribute selector
 in CSS. Your
 second issue is one of specificity.
 
 The values for specificity are calculated like this:
 a,b,c,d,e
 ...where...
 a = author !important styles (+2 for user !important
 styles)
 b = inline styles
 c = id styles
 d = class and attribute styles
 e = tag styles
 (* is 0, it has no value)
 
 So, for example, the specificity in your examples:
 Your CSS:
 p[style] {
   color: #000 !important;
   float: left !important;
   }
 ...has a specificity of 1,0,0,1,1 in normal browsers,
 1,0,0,0,1 for IE6.
 Your HTML:
 p style=color: green; float: right;
 ...has a specificity of  0,1,0,0,0 in all browsers.
 
 To make this work cross-browser (ahem IE6), you have to
 class or ID the
 element which will allow IE6 to pick up the style sheet
 styles and not
 the inline styles. Interestingly enough, I noticed in
 testing this for
 you that IE6 will acknowledge the use of !important, but
 only if the
 rule is not re-declared within the same style block.
 
 For example:
 p.special {
   color: #000 !important;
   float: left !important;
   }
 p.special {
   color: #00f;
   }
 ...works just fine in IE6, while:
 p.special {
   color: #000 !important;
   color: #00f;
   float: left !important;

 ...does NOT. IE6 seems to over-write the !important rule,
 rather than
 applying both rules and using specificity. When the styles
 are broken
 out into two blocks, IE6 seems to pick it up just fine and
 apply
 specificity correctly.
 
 I believe IE7 and all the modern browsers support attribute
 selectors,
 so you should be fine cross-browser land, except for
 IE-lte-6.
 
 I hope that helps.

Re: [css-d] content div not attaching to footer

2008-08-24 Thread Gianni Wise
 You can't trust any editor's viewer, not even DWs. Test only in your
 target browsers.


 Add to provide default browser margin/padding:
 html, body {margin:0;padding:0;}

 #content{
 overflow:hidden; :: add to contain the floats
  }

 Amend:

 #footer{
 padding: 10px 0; -::add
  /*width:110%;*/-::delete
 width:100%;-::add
 /*height:20px;*/-::delete
 clear:both;
 }

 #footerInner{
 /*height:10px;*/-::delete
 }

 Validate the CSS.

 Pixel line-height makes all ver IE  Opera go goofy when fonts are  
 scaled.
 Pixel font-sizes are not user friendly in any ver IE.

 David, that worked great for the top nav, but the secondary nav is still not

Providing, of course, that you are able to change the markup, this is a 
relatively simple way to center the horizontal list items in a 
horizontally centered containing block.

Markup changes on the source document.

You'll want to validate your markup some day...

Question for clarification:

Are you locked into the current markup for the secondary menu? In other 
words, do you have control over /both/ the CSS and the markup for the page?

Yes, I can change any of it. Is that what you mean?

Thanks David. That worked beautifully. I validated the CSS, but I haven't
done the html yet. Will be doing that tomorrow before I get too much
further. Thanks so much for your time.
