Re: [css-d] unremovable img margin?
Hello all,
thanks much in advance for your help.
could you please take a look at this trial html file:
http://www.giuseppecraparottacv.co.uk/doubts/press.html
As you can see the images are separated by a bottom / right margin.
- Is it related to the fact that images are *inline elements*?
- Is it any way to eliminate it which is not making the images *block
elements*?
As you can see I included * {padding:0; margin:0;} among the styles.
cheers,
Giuseppe
that is caused by white spaces in between img tags.
put them like this

Following are some suggestions that may, or may not be what you're looking
for.
As was suggested, if you want the images to be the size specified in the
HTML, you should resize them in a graphics program rather than letting
browsers do the work.
That being said, here are my suggestions.
Remove all width and height attributes in the HTML for those three images.
Alter the CSS as follows -
#logo {
background-color: transparent;
/*top: -7px;*/ /* remove */
left: 109px; /* change value */
/*width: 850px;*/ /* remove */
height: 250px;
position: relative;
text-align: center;
z-index: 1;
}
logo img {vertical-align: bottom; display:block;} /* remove - it's not doing
anything anyway, despite the spelling correction */
#logo img {float: left;} /* add */
.navigationpanel {
background-image: url(navgraphic.png);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
top: -20px; /* change */
left: -250px; /* change*/
/*width: 400px; /* remove */
/*height: 75px; /* remove */
position: relative;
}
Perhaps these suggestions will give you a new place to start from.

Re: [css-d] [OT] EMs vs. PERCENTs
D'oh! I should've read that link above before posting... To redeem myself: EM: - always relative to font size - fonts affect absolute widths of things set with EM! (e.g. could cause horizontal scroll) - however, relative widths are not affected. e.g. if a particular sentence fits all on one line, it will always fit on one line even if the font is changed to be very large. PERCENT: - always relative to containing block (could be parent font as well) - this means that containing blocks can get very crowded.

Re: [css-d] [OT] EMs vs. PERCENTs
I think Tim's concise explanation helped with that understanding. I didn't send that to the entire list, because the website that got sent out right before I finished it said pretty much the same thing, but if it was that helpful, I'll share it with everyone. Rules of thumb: em is like a variable that means font-size. if the base font-size is 16px (default) then 2em is 32px, .5em is 8px. The difference is what the percentage is relative to. For font-sizing, the percent is relative to the font-size, so they both do the exact same thing. Font-size:2em is the same as font-size:200%. Use which ever you like. It doesn't matter. For box sizing, em is still the font-size. But percent is relative to the container. If you want the box size to change with the font use ems. (ex. if you have a box that you want to always display 3 lines of text then set it to 3.6em -- the height of a line is generally 1.2em, unless you specifically set it to be otherwise) If you want the box to change size with the screen, use percents (height:50% is 50% of the parent container - sometimes the window, sometimes something else, never the font-size) ---Tim __ css-discuss [cs...@lists.css-discuss.org] 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/

Of course: your example doesn't look anything like your screenshots show

I use ems for widths to try to work to readable line lengths.
Recommended line lengths generally vary from 40 - 75 letters depending

5. Equally, users with narrow resolutions are increasingly common -

ensure your content is at least readable by them, so large fixed
widths may not be the best long-term strategy.
I do use percentages for maximum widths when i consider the browser
may be anything from a phone to a very wide screen. I have also used a
pixel maximum width of around 1250 for the site design width. To cater
to IE7 (without maxwidth support) i generally supply a fixed width on
the wrapper div, in a seperate style sheet which works for 800px
screens unless i know the customer is on 1024px throughout - in this
case IE7 users on 800px screens scroll the menu bar out of view (bad,
yes, but these IE users are in the under 10% minority).

Re: [css-d] [OT] EMs vs. PERCENTs
If IE is the only one you are concerned about use a conditional comment, no javascript necessary since only IE parses them. I apologize to the list -- I had intended my previous post to go off- list and didn't realize it wound up going to the list instead. I fear this is off-topic, not being about CSS. I'll reply in more detail off- list.

Re: [css-d] in IE6, 1st level LI in menu expands width on hover (to width of dropdown) -- can you help stop it?

I'm using a suckerfish-based nav menu at
http://www.alysonchasestudio.com (doctype is strict)
In IE6 (but not FF2 or 3, not IE7, not not -- as far as I've tested --
Safari or Chrome), when I hover over the top-level menu item, it will
expand to accommodate the (wider) widths of the drop down list. I
don't want it to do this, and I would prefer not to wrap the drop-down
items.
Can you please advise how to make IE6 stop this?
Add to css/ach_ie6.css:
#navmenu li{overflow-x:hidden;}
Hope it helps.

Bill, thanks for your reply! I'll experiment with the overflow and
see what happens. In the meantime, I also received this suggestion:
Paul O'B (http://www.sitepoint.com/forums/member.php?u=25195) over at
SitePoint forums recommended I change the positioning like this:
#navmenu li {position:relative}
#navmenu li:hover ul, #navmenu li.sfhover ul {
position: absolute;
top: 1.3em;
}
I've put that up on the site (with a bit of other spacing edits) in
css/ach_ie6.css and it's working well. Now for the next bugs...

Ignoring later posts and replying inline. On Thu, 19 Mar 2009 18:52:22 -0400 Came this utterance formulated by Theophan Dort to my mailbox: i generally supply a fixed width on the wrapper div, in a seperate style sheet which works for 800px screens How do you serve different CSS to different people? I'm assuming some sort of JavaScript sniffer? I use the @import hack that i first learned about here: http://annevankesteren.nl/2005/10/ie-import-hack Georg also uses it, which puts me in good company ;) http://www.gunlaug.no/contents/wd_additions_12.html I love your Julian of Norwich quote, BTW. Did you ever read her book _Showings_? Really weird, but fascinating, and wonderful in places.
