[css-d] IE 67 Not responding to clears

2009-03-17 Thread Keith Fjellman
I've looked all over for an answer, but I've had no luck so here's hoping
you can help

I'm working on a design for a client and for some reason the IE's won't
expand with the content this time.  I've done all kinds of layouts and I've
tried all the solutions I can think of, but at this point I think I'm in too
deep and I'm missing something.

Re: [css-d] Strange lack of hover effect on BOTH IE6 and IE7

2009-03-17 Thread Els
Phil Matt wrote:

 In IE, NOTHING happens when you hover over the small GIF image -
 which is a graphic created from a specific font. The idea is to
 simulate the typical text-decoration you'd see on an ordinary text
 link. In FF, the expected red lower border appears on hover. Here's
 the code snippet:

[snip]

 a:link img {
 text-decoration:none;
 padding:0;
 margin:0;
 border:0;
 }
 a:hover img, a:active img {
 border: 1px solid red;
 border-width: 0 0 3px 0;
 padding:0;
 margin:0;
 }

[snip]

Your example works on IE7 here.

In IE6 you'll need a trigger. IE6 will not show any hover effects on 
children of the a element, if the a element itself does not have 
any hover effect.
Try a hover effect on the link that won't be noticeable, such as 
'background-position:left top'. The default is 'center', so 'left top' 
is a change, while it won't affect anything on the page since you 
didn't have a background set anyway.

My apologies, I realized right after I sent it that I forgot to clarify.

I really just need to make sure that none of the text at the
bottom (primarily the lorem ipsum paragraph followed by ptest/p) crosses
the yellow footer.

The footer needs to clear like it does in FF or Chrome.

Re: [css-d] Layout still broken, new problems

2009-03-17 Thread Bettina
hi kimi,

IE6 e.g. does not recognize min-... (min-width).

I think you designed on a fixed layout - so you can use simply width:780px
in your body

thats the first.

If you got an Intel Mac I recommend to install virtualbox
(www.virtualbox.org) and some windows environments for testing. otherwise
you'll never see that what 80% others see :)

 wish it to look.

Hello Keith, change this series of CSS hacks.


*:first-child+html div#rightContent {
margin-left: 202px;
position: absolute;
z-index: 1;
clear: both;
}
* HTML div#rightContent {
margin-left: 202px;
position: absolute;
z-index: 1;
clear: both;
}


With these ones.


*:first-child+html div#rightContent {
margin-left: -202px; /*partially removed float*/
position: relative; /*stack element higher*/
}
* HTML div#rightContent {
margin-left: -202px; /*partially removed float*/
position: relative; /*stack element higher*/
}


What is happening is the div#leftContent was clearing the 
div#rightContent since the declared *width* on div#leftContent was 
triggering hasLayout [1].

Re: [css-d] input type=image active area shift

2009-03-17 Thread mx . cssdee
Hey there!

Tested IE6 and you are correct it works correctly.

In FF3 I've noticed the #footer is overlapping the image buttons which  
prevents them for being clicked.
Maybe its worth removing the float:right from the footer?

 when i try to move the buttons down - the active area seems to stay in

 place, and only where the input still covers it - as soon as the input

 covers none of the active area the button stops working.

 in the current situation only the upper half of the button is clickable.



 I've tried every imaginable positioning technique - absolute, relative...

 none work, I've tried just for the test to add an input type=button - same

 does anyone here have an idea ?

[css-d] Extra spcae between columns in IE6

2009-03-17 Thread Ian Piper
Hi all,

I have a baffling problem with an unwanted space between columns in a  
three-column layout. I have made an example page here:

http://www.tellura.co.uk/ruberyowen/index.htm

I have 3 div elements, called navcolumn, content and sidebar. They are  
all floated left and I have defined the width. However, I have clearly  
done something wrong because the calculated widths throw column 3 down  
below the other 2. As a result, I have defined the width of the  
content div as much lower than it should be. IE6 respects that width  
but leaves a big gap at the right (if I float sidebar right then the  
gap is between content and sidebar). Safari and Firefox push the width  
out to fill all of the space. The table below shows the numbers:

navcolumn   content sidebar 
total
calc width  258 405 
287 950
set width
in css  258 380 
275 913

Browser
measured
width:

Safari  259 411 
276 946
FF  259 411 
276 946
IE6 257 379 
274 910

My question is, what am I missing in getting these three columns to  
float properly next to each other and use the space properly?

The css is here:
http://localhost/ruberyowen/css/styles.css
The xhtml is here:
http://localhost/ruberyowen/index.htm

Anyway, any guidance would be appreciated.


Ian.

[css-d] Styling fieldset legends

2009-03-17 Thread Climis, Tim
I have this basic code, with these basic styles.  (sorry can't link the actual 
example, because it's a log-in only site.)

formfield
  legendIs the sky blue?/legend
  input id=skyy name=sky type=radio/label for=skyyYes/label
  input id=skyn name=sky type=radio/label for=skynNo/label
/formfield

formfield {
  border: none;
  padding: 0;
  margin: 0;
}

legend {
  padding: 0;
}

If you plug this basic example into a browser, you'll see that the legend text 
has a different baseline than the label text (like it's superscripted or 
something).

I'm trying to get the legend text to drop down to the same baseline as the 
label text.  But I have no idea how.  Firebug isn't giving me any clues as to 
the default style that makes it hang out up there anyway.  So I'm not sure what 
to set.  Does anyone have any experience with this?

Legends are buggy to style in nearly all browsers. By default, they tend
to sit vertically centered on the border of the fieldset element.

Many styles simply won't work on the legend tag. For some real fun, try
figuring out how to add x-browser-safe word wrapping to a long legend.

The best advice I've seen is to replace the legend with a header tag and
that tends to be the solution I employ as well.

Approximate placement of the legend/fieldset relationship:
+--[ LEGEND ]--+
| FIELDSET |
|  |
+--+

Hope it helps.

Yes. Try the following changes and see if it makes things work for you. Only 
tried in FF, so no guarantees.

#content
{
float:right;
position:relative;
width:800px;
/* height:500px; */ /* remove */
