Introduce body-styles again, and remember that the body-element is
body, not #body. The body doesn't have, or need, an ID.
So, it should be...
body {
margin: 0;
background: #000 url(/images/road.jpg) repeat-x;
}
...and nothing more.
You should then delete #container-styles and #container-element, since
it serves no purpose.
FWIW: you page is still severely broken in IE6 even at default, and
blows apart in all browser when subjected to font resizing.

[css-d] Can we create a newsletter in CSS
I might be a bit late with my post. I think the best information about newsletters you can get by subscribing and observing letter from the respectful companies of the similar business. The safest is hybrid layout, the tabled one. I saw that lots of companies are just slicing pictures with text and it looks good,readable and nice. The chose should depend on what business you are in, what is more important in your newsletters the actual text(information) or the product display(pictures). It reminds me of a book Pattern Recognition http://www.williamgibsonbooks.com/books/pattern.asp __ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/

(after give up from phplist and the encoding issues, I'm now trying to use poMMo btw) :s So, I'm not even on the layout part so... yes, it's on time. The image should be important, not the product image (it will have agriculture products so, they don't sell by pretty) but the company image is important. Since I was on my way to learn CSS I'm feeling this table approach always like a drawback... but I know I know... we cannot control the internet... :s I will take a look of how other companies send they newsletters. That was a good tip that I forgot.

[css-d] Problem with form in IE6 and IE7
Hi, I have a form that I can't get to format properly in IE (6 or 7). You can see it at: http://www.apvx95.dsl.pipex.com/SpanishIntensives/bookingPHP.html The stylesheet is at: http://www.apvx95.dsl.pipex.com/SpanishIntensives/styles/spanishintensives.css All the selectors for the form are at the bottom of the stylesheet. Both the CSS and the XHTML validate OK. It's basically a form cribbed from Simon Collinson's Beginning CSS Development. It looks fine in FF, Safari and Opera, but in IE6 and IE7 the form data entry elements line up underneath their labels instead of alongside them. Is there a technique for getting a form like this to look right in IE? Thanks in advance.

For a somewhat logical and identical line-up across browser-land for a
flexible layout like yours, I think you simply have to give the browsers
more freedom to arrange elements to the conditions...
http://www.gunlaug.no/tos/alien/pb/test_08_1130.html
...as that avoids both squishing and/or expansion in a table, and the
risk for overlapping that absolute positioning causes.
Relevant CSS - all of it - for your existing source-code:
fieldset dl {
padding-bottom:1em;
border:1px solid #666;
background:#DDD;
}
fieldset dt {
float: left;
padding:0.5em;
clear: both;
}
fieldset dd {
margin: 0;
padding:0.5em;
clear: right;
text-align: right;
}

Georg

[css-d] Column Height

See a sketchy example at http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/forms/tables.html#css Hi Peter, The DL.DT.DD family is a rare and unique jewel in the family of HTML tags and the only one I know of with such a relationship between the three elements in the sub-family. I've used it many times and been pretty happy with it. That being said, it doesn't fit in this case and there's already a set of tags for this. I can understand Jukka's suggestion to use tables to achieve the desired effect and I've looked at his page, but I'd like to offer an alternative. One thing that is commonly overlooked is that the label element is permitted to wrap around it's associated input element such that instead of this: label for=thingLabel Text:/labelinput name=thing id=thing ...we're also allowed this: label for=thingLabel Text:input name=thing id=thing/label When we make the label element display:block, we then get a row we can work with. Throw your label text into a span, add a little float and negative margin magic and we can very closely emulate what we could achieve with tables. I've prepared a snippet of your form using this method and published it at this URL: http://theholiergrail.com/cssd/spanish-intensives-form.html I hope it helps. --Bill -- !-- !

Not seeing the menubar outside the footer, but once you put REAL href addresses
in the links instead of the #, IE6 will play along and show your light
colored text.
