[css-d] Review site for IE

2009-02-12 Thread Eric Heitz
Please review the following site in IE 6.

http://www.kucia.com/kucia/sua/

I am able to test in Mac FF, Safari and Opera as well as Windows IE 7.
Would like to get feedback in IE 6 environment.

Noticed on IE 6 render site that IE 6 stacks the main nav.

Any feedback would be great.

Thanks,
Eric

[css-d] :hover pseudo-class unusual behavior in Webkit

2009-02-12 Thread Scott Glasgow
I've encountered something that I haven't been able to resolve concerning 
Safari/Chrome rendering. It originated in a post on MS's EW2 forum. Here's 
the original:

After much experimentation and blind guessing, I modified some code from 
CSSplay (which I will credit in my html once I get this resolved) to make 
small images in a side column enlarge when hovered over. It works great in 
IE7 and FF. I can live with it not working in IE6, and I haven't tried Opera 
yet (just downloaded it) but I found out that Safari and Chrome don't work. 
Error console doesn't show any problems, and the small pics show just fine, 
but there is no zoom feature.

Look at the pics here: http://www.fcphd.org/community.html

I checked it out in FF3.0.6, IE7, and Opera 9.something, and the zoom works 
fine in all three. However, it does not work at all in either of the 
Webkit-based browsers. I looked at the markup and the CSS and can't see 
anything wrong, and Firescope's reference shows the :hover pseudo-class as 
fully supported in all versions of Safari.

Has anyone encountered anything similar in Webkit-based browsers? I read 
something somewhere that they do have a problem with negative z-indexes, but 
that's moot in this case. This isn't really my problem, but it's got my 
curiosity aroused, and this guy's gone to a lot of trouble as a novice to 
try to troubleshoot it on his own, so I'd kinda like to see if I can locate 
a solution for him, if possible. Thanks.

cheers,
scott

You may want to check your version against Nicholls. I did not take the 
time to do so. The one I looked at [1] works fine (if you like that sort 
of thing ;-) ) in XP IE 6/7, on Mac OS 10.4.11 in the latest versions of 
Opera, FF, Safari, and WebKit...

[css-d] Font-color issue

2009-02-12 Thread Ib Jensen
Hi

Link: http://ikjensen.dk/test/

In the bottom right corner I've have a Note-box.

In IE6.x I can only see the headline ok, the rest of the text is blurred.

The headline and text looks ok in FF 2.x, OP 9.5 and Safari 3.x.

I've tried to change colors, without any result.

 It's not the colour, it's the size. Up the size a bit, and the blur
 will disappear. If you look at the body text, that's also smaller in
 IE than in FF.

Just noticed you have this in your layout.css stylesheet:
html  body{font-size:12px;}

IE6 doesn't pick that up, and it makes all the difference. If you take 
that line out, FF also makes the text smaller and blurs that bit under 
'Note'.
I'd take that line out, and up the main text from 80% to 100% in your 
basis.css stylesheet.

Shouldn't bee 100.01% or 100.1%, as many suggests in favor of rounding errors ?

Must be nearly a decade since rounding errors on font-size: 100%
created problems in a browser. Not that it hurts to add .1 to it, but
it won't make a difference anywhere.


As have been pointed out: having font-size: 80% on body, followed by
font-size: 0.83em on #notizen p, means it isn't much font-size
left anywhere in there.
Simple font resizing doesn't seem to be enough in IE.

Guess it was such cases Microsoft had in mind when they added ignore
font size in web pages as an option in IE - a long time ago, while
other browsers introduced minimum font size to counteract mouse-type.
All you achieve by using such small text is that many visitors either
can't read your words of wisdom, or have to override your font size in
order to read it.


FYI: I apply minimum font size = 14px to all web pages, and if the
choice of font-family causes problems I change that to 16px - on 96dpi
screens.
Since you also have an em-sized layout I also find it necessary to
apply fit to width to your page to make it stay within the browser
window, so I don't have to deal with long text lines and horizontal
scrollbars. The information on your pages is too interesting to be left
unreadable, and Danish isn't a problem at my end ;-)

Something tells me that, instead of trying to modyfie some templates,
I'll should try to build at least the css-part up from scratch, maybe
keeping some of it, using this template from Manuela Hoffmann, which I
kind of like.

You have 2 options:

}

or
2/ declare the display property in the .zoom ruleset:

.zoom {

display:block /* --- add */

}

Hmm, I see what you mean. He's made quite a few changes, no gallery or 
anchor containers, etc. Makes it a little difficult to compare what Jim did 
to the original Nicholls' markup. Well, he did say experimentation and 
blind guessing, so I guess it's not surprising that they are significantly 
different.

What gets me is that his .zoom and .zoom:hover rules, while simpler, do seem 
to be appropriate to the purpose, and they do work in browsers not based on 
Webkit. Opera, IE, and Firefox all have no problem with it. I wonder what it 
is about the Webkit browsers that keeps that CSS from succeeding, while it 
works fine in the IE, FF, and Opera engines...

scott

 WebKit based browsers still seem to have a problem changing the 
 display property on :hover.

A working variant, tailored to your layout, is to replace .zoom and
.zoom:hover styles with the following...

.zoom {
position:relative;
float: left;
margin: 0 0 4px 5px;
}
.zoom:hover {
width: 336px;
height: 252px;
border: 2px solid #ff;
z-index:10;
margin: 0 0 -166px -217px;
}

...which will do away with the horizontal scrollbar caused by relative
positioning that appears on :hover.

The above also eliminates the varying length of #right_col that pushes
#footer down on :hover. If you want that push effect - to keep all
reduced size images visible also during :hover, you can modify the
.zoom:hover margin...

.zoom:hover {

margin: 0 0 4px -217px;
}

...and then pull up the bottom margin on #right_col...

#right_col {
float: right;
width: 125px;
text-align: center;
margin-bottom: -220px;
}

...to keep it from pushing the #footer.


FYI: Whatever;hover...
http://www.xs4all.nl/~peterned/csshover.html
...can bring IE6 in on the game - if you like.
