That's nice. Most of us attempt to get stuff looking right in compliant 
browsers: IE/8, Opera, FF, Safari. Correction, if any, is then given to 
IE.7. IE/6 is sometimes more difficult.

Get it to look right in IE/8, Opera, FF, Safari. Forget IE/7. More 
likely then not, it will just follow suit.

Captures (screenshots) are sort of pictures of what is on the screen. 
These can usually be made from an application provided with your OS. 
This has nothing to do with CSS.

Thanks David, after I sent this e-mail I decided to validate and the validator 
spit out 3 errors that pointed me in the right direction, and I got it to look 
pretty much correct in IE7. I also downloaded Opera and took a look and I'm 
thinking "oh crap" in Opera and IE7 the header text and subtext are in 2 
different places, but in firefox it is perfectly correct.

how did you get them screenshots? I'm sorry, but I am pretty new to CSS and I 
don't know all the tricks yet.

In IE/6 it is just like most the other browsers: fast-loading, svelte, 
and sexy. Some users, in some browsers, may experience,  vertical 
cross-over of the top two rows with discretion to scale the fonts. You 
may want to validate when you can get around to it.

This is how your page looks in Firefox, Opera, and Safari:

IE/8 is similar except the text-image does not appear.

Name of the game is code to compliant browsers (IE/7 is not among them) :
IE/8, FF, Safari, and Opera.

It will be easier to provide help if we know what it is supposed to look 
like. "A picture is worth a thousand words."

I understand. I went on and stripped everything except the problem area.

My problem is that I cannot seem to arrange the header in IE7, I have not 
checked in IE8 or IE6. It looks great in firefox.

so far in IE7 the words "countertop workshop" will not follow my font scheme I 
want to use, and neither will the subtext "knowledge skill opportunity"

Also the text and subtext are supposed to be on the left, but everything I 
have tried nothing will move it to where I want it. In IE7 these words will 
not budge from the upper left corner of the header box.

finally, the logo box will not position very good in IE7 either, it's always 
off 
on some side or another depending on how I code the selector.

Save the page from Firefox and check your CSS works in it.

Hide what styling? If I knew exactly what "styling" was causing the 
problem, the solution might be easier to find. In the meantime, I've 
thrown most every hasLayout fix at it-- except for the right one (s), on 
the right selector (s). I begin to wonder if it has anything at all to 
do with styling. As far as a simpler layout is concerned, we're not 
exactly looking at a Drupal nightmare driven into oblivion with 25 
whacked stylesheets :-) .   Whatever IE/6es little problem is, with this 
simple layout, it certainly is being elusive in yielding to correction 
from this end.

Thank you for your reply (and putting up with my frustration with this).

They have different names for a reason. Oh, and what most people call
tags in HTML are elements. Most elements have two tags, opening and
closing, some like HR do not have two.

Hi David,

In similar situations, we use sitesucker - http://www.sitesucker.us/ -  
to retrieve and localise generated pages for perusal (as suggested by  
Bobby).

Hi David,

Since this list is all about CSS, what we really care about is the final markup 
and CSS, rather than how it's generated. If you have a specific question, could 
you not just put up the relevant page(s) as static files?

Yes. I am just used to thinking of them as parameters (like with HTML

[css-d] An easier way?

Hi everyone,

I know everyone here prefers that when a question is asked, that the poster 
upload an example on the web.

Well is there any other way this could be accomplished? In order for me to put 
the work i've done on the internet would take too long because of the

Okay. Would I achieve the same advantage if I do not style that , is it effectively disabled? Or, use {display:none;}?
And, go with this instead:

 side text 

 content 


I am constrained by working with the html template of this wordpress
framework html. I can over-ride it. (wordpress is designed for that).
But it is simpler for me to work it out in the CSS.

I don't need it to be perfect in IE6 and IE7, just readable. Let me

You are beyond my depth here on the full purpose and function of the
XML prolog and the implications of going into quirks mode. Since IE6
is about the limit of how far backward compatible I am working for and
doesnt need to be perfect, I can probably change or get rid of the XML
prolog but I don't know what I would be losing

excellent, I see what you are doing there.

You lost me. I don't see changes to the layout DIVs. If you tell me
which kinds of elements you removed resets on, I will probably grok
your point.

I will go for less now. The layout in it's present form was my idea
for getting a handle on the basic layout css...perhaps not the best
idea. I will set up my draft now as simple as I can. Here is a
screenshot of my draft template
http://modernia.net/oh/ohlonedraftscreenshot.jpg
This version has the content column split into two columns which Will
be needed sometimes.

Hello David,

I can reproduce the bug in a bundled version on IE6`on Windows XP. Took 
me ages though and happens at a numerous rate of tries. On one occasion 
it took 17 clicks and another time it took 3 clicks. The bug causes IE6 
to show a completely blank page. This is not a peekaboo bug since the 
normal pages do not have peekaboo activity.

The solution David, I guess you would like my take. Hide this styling 
from IE6 or go for a simpler layout. Let me just run away now. ;-)


Hello Tedd,

You wrote, "People who over-click deserve what they get." Not with this 
bug. All I'm doing is selecting each page in order of links.

Hi Georg,

Thanks for your response. Yes, I'm referring to compat check. I don't 
understand the syntax. Can you step me through the part starting with 
"d=" up through the < (less than) operator?

BTW, I visited your site and found lots of useful information that 
relates to my situtation. Thanks!

Why do anything? People who over-click deserve what they get.

The only exception is in purchasing where double clicking may result 
in double buying -- a problem I encountered once and solved it via 
javascript.

Side note: While double clicking I noticed that the "style" graphic 
on the left rotates. I personally find that distracting because the 
reason why I'm clicking stuff is to review your work -- in my mind, 
only that should change (plus page number). I think 1,3,5,7,9 is 
better presentation than 1,2,3,4,5.

Cheers,

tedd

I cannot reproduce, hence, cannot help that much on solving the issue since,
I don't have the knowledge to repair a problem without testing it. 
I have found this on peekaboo but, who hasn't? :s
http://www.positioniseverything.net/explorer/peekaboo.html

The content that disappears are only the images? If so, we can read on
several forums here and there, that a 'position:relative;' on img, solved
some cases. 

I would ask for a third person to try to reproduce this error. Just to make
sure we are not on a more-or-less Cervantes Quest. :)

Anyone else... ? ~:D

Hello Don,

Yes, if you want to support IE6 and IE7 then maybe modify your markup. 
In my testing IE6 is really broken and IE7 is a little bit better. This 
is partially because IE6 is in quirks mode due to your XML prolog. Also 
you have the double float margin bug [1] in a few places.

Firstly I had create a test case to understand the bug you demo'd. 
Secondly I had to provide one fix for the bug. I have now been able to 
now used your code and some IE hackery.




The fix is another IE7- bug [2] [3 exp:5b]. You could say it was the 
last life line you had since your code is not IE7- friendly.

Please note that I have removed all resets on elements. Are they really 
needed? This best road to learn CSS is to use less CSS to begin with.

BTW, IE7 and IE6 now shows the yellow background of div#content around 
the content area and not just a small horizontal strip at the top. This 
is because any fix for div#content for the margin-left to work requires 
the box to have layout in some form. This causes div#content in IE7- to 
now contain all floats within. You have this basic markup.


side text 
content 


If this was.

 side text 

content 


It would be a much more simpler approach than making IE7- bugged out.

IE 6 (and to a lesser extend IE 7) has (very) limited support for that  
keyword anyway.

p {border: medium solid transparent;} gives interesting effects in  
those browsers (should work in IE 7, but I saw it doing something  
stupid recently; don't remember the exact context though.

of course:
p {background: rgba(0,0,0,.8); color: rgba(255,255,255,1);}

0 is fully transparent, 1 is fully opaque. the 'a' in rgba means alpha- 
channel (transparency)

doesn't work in IE 6, 7 & 8, though.

PS - bottom posting, please

parm ? You probably mean 'property'.

p {margin:0;} ought to do what you want.

Hello,

What's this about? Hex code for transparency? I like the sound of this  
but it's the first I have heard

I notice you have put 'rgba' is that for alpha? Can I have opaque  
colours too?
