Was there something other than the lack of a DOCTYPE tag that you 
noticed? That was the only thing the w3 validator showed.

[css-d] Hunting a peek-a-boo bug in IE8rc1

2009-03-08 Thread Gunlaug Sørtun
Hey all,

I'm trying to catch a bug in IE8rc1, hoping it can be found and killed
before they release IE8 final.

Bugnote: 
...and this bug randomly makes the footer on all my regular pages
collapse - disappear.


The IE developer tool shows that all the right styles apply to #footer
and its content in IE8rc1, but it doesn't seem to matter. Somehow IE8rc1
just randomly ignores that there is a footer there at all.

The bug may be related to body or page-wrappers - that these elements do
not always open properly to include their last child. I simply don't
know where IE8rc1 fails at the moment, so I need help to figure it out.


Right now I need confirmation that this bug is real - not just my
imagination or only in my copies of IE8rc1.
Therefore I need others to test a randomly chosen set of regular 2 and 3
column pages on my site in IE8rc1, and let me know if the footer, with
navigation and an image on the right side, stays open all the time
during first loads and subsequent refreshes of the tested pages, or if
the entire footer disappears now and then in IE8rc1.

TIA.

regards
Georg

The trouble is that the content of the two lists are coming from the CMS. If
I do it this way and another page is added under Main Navigation, then it
all falls over again because the list is a different length and so the
Subscriber Modules list will no longer be coming up far enough.

Thanks for the suggestion, though.

Update: Bug confirmed by PPK and Bruno Fassino off-list, in addition to
on-list responses. Thanks all.

Further investigation shows that the missing footer is a symptom - not
the real problem. IE8rc1 quits rendering at an end-tag on one of the
wrapper-divs above the footer in the source-code, which means both the
footer and the image on top left on all pages go missing since they're
both near the end - below the quitting point.

For testing-purposes: when I delete an end-tag just above where IE8rc1
quits rendering - makes the start/end tag number uneven and non-valid,
IE8rc1 will render the entire page most of the time. This indicates that
the browser reads a sort of [EOF] for rendering into the markup at the
wrong place - too early. The source-code is completely loaded (View
source), but the rendering engine is buggy.

Since not all my pages have equally complex structure - despite being
based on the same template, IE8rc1 appears to handle a number of them ok
nearly all the time. This confirms the unstable nature of this bug, and
explains why not all who tested managed to provoke the bug on my site.

this is for the IE-team to fix, and I can't think of a reliable solution
at our end anyway. I certainly don't want another round of fixing Layout
bugs in IE, now that the 'hasLayout' mess in IE7 and older versions is
- more or less - behind us.

Hi George, I can reproduce the disappearing footer, but it seems to happen 
only when I click a link in the footer. Afterwards I can refresh the page and 
the footer will reappear.

I am running IE8rc1 on XP in VMware.

[css-d] Firefox - Font-size and Line-height

2009-03-08 Thread Blake
Simple problem, but I can't see a solution.

I have the font-size and line-height set on the body, which is fine.
But then I want to set any STRONG elements to a font-size larger than
the line-height. In Firefox doing this completely throws out the line
height.

body{ font-size: 13px; line-height: 23px; }
strong  { font-size: 25px; }

My first thought was to add line-height: 23px to STRONG elements, but
this doesn't have any effect. I then lowered this down to line-height:
0, and found that it displayed how I wanted it to in Firefox (even on
multiple lines, bizarrely). But of course this worked as I would
expect in IE, and crushed my multiple line examples down to nothing.

Any ideas?

I'll bite on your first question. I do not have my own style sheet. I 
am, in the course of daily surfing, able to destroy and blow most sites 
out of the water (including some of my own) just based on very simple

Debate? Debate what? I did not bring up px vs em. Point to the problem

Sorry, perhaps I misunderstood what you said.

If you check out this page
 and look
at it in IE and Firefox you'll note that IE keeps the vertical rythm
of 18px, while in Firefox it goes right out the window as soon as it
encounters the larger font-size. Firefox just seems to ignore the
line-height and come up with its own value.

I'd like to be ale to enforce my value, but on inline elements Firefox
seems to do its own thing.

So what the 'line-height' property does is actually a lot more like
"inline height" than "line height".  And that height is always
placed so that the font is centered within it (or, in this case, so
that it is centered within the font, since the line-height is
smaller).  So when you have:

  # # #   # #
#   #  # ##
#   #   # #  ^
#   #  # ##  |
TEXT#   # #   #   #  v

with the line heights set to the height of "TEXT", the pieces that
contribute to the size of the line look like this:


 ^
 |
 v

so the actual height of the line runs as marked at the right edge of
the diagrams.

You really can't ignore it once you understand the magnitude of the problem
px can create: http://fm.no-ip.com/SS/blahas01.png

px for line-height can be a bigger problem than for text:

But if I set display: block; on STRONG I can get the effect I want
(i.e. a line-height smaller than the font-size), but because strong is
an inline element it behaves differently than I would expect.

This behaviour seems really unintuitive, especially since there
appears to be no way to force the line height I want (except for
setting line-height: 0; which breaks IE and also seems completely
unintuitive).

Don't worry, I more than understand the implications. :-)

IMO this is the desired behavior, and why I always set units for
line-height. If I set a baseline of 18px, or 2em, or whatever, I want
that baseline no matter the font-size. If I wish to change the
line-height I'll do it explicitely for the element I wish to.

Try...

strong  { font-size: 24px; display: inline-block; margin: -3px 0;}

...which will give you some, initial, control.

Thanks.

This helps, but has a few issues. Mainly that the  text will
attempt not to wrap, if it can, and this is causing some weird
break-points on shorter line-lengths. Also in IE the  text
doesn't sit on the same baseline as the ordinary body text. I get the
feeling this is an issue that will cause a bit of pain. >.<

I don't think what you appear to be trying to do belongs in
the realm of "intuitive" behaviors. Just imagine, if you will,
trying to do this in old-fashioned printing; any particular
typeface was made up of bits of metal type that have a given
height and usually lines of these were spaced with strips of
metal--the leading. (Our present "line height" is equivalent
to that old type height plus the leading) I don't get a very
pretty picture of an old-time typesetter inserting, into the
running line, a few words of a typeface larger than that
running line's type-plus-leading line height!

I do have some thoughts on how you might approach this.

If the elements you wish to be strong are separate from any
smaller line-height material, You should be able to style
a div or a paragraph (to contain the strong material) with
its own font size and line height. Line height may be done
without units so that it works as a proportion of font size.

You may need to experiment a bit to see how small the line
height can be; 1.2 or 1.4 is fairly usual. If closer to 1
doesn't work in all target browsers, you might have to have
margins and borders on the "strong" div set very small or
zero to compensate for the leading.

If the "strong" bits are actually within a line of ordinary
type, I think you might have to have to do the HTML markup
to put them in a separate location and use CSS to reposition
them into a blank place the line--just remember the original
markup location will then display as whitespace so this could
be quite a project! I do see some drawbacks to this:

* Don't forget this might not go well with disabled assisting
methods. If you are required to have an accessible website,
this is important.

* Also remember the size you are after would then be larger
than the space you put it into and I think the result would be
to have the "strong" bits overlie the descenders from the line
above and/or the ascenders and Capital tops on the line below
--sounds ugly to me but it may the effect you want.

* I don't know if all browsers will cooperate--they may just 
automatically spread the lines vertically a bit to make room.
