Re: [css-d] What defines a ture holy grail layout?

 So, my question is this? What are the mandatory requirements for a true 'Holy 
 Grail' layout?


A layout that works the same in every browser even if you have a 
slightly narrow viewpoint.

You have written on your main page.


Because every browser has its own quirks, many people use hacks to 
overcome the little problems that arise. In many instances a hack fixes 
a problem in one browser but creates a new bug in another. Also when a 
new version of a browser comes out, any bugs that are now fixed will 
still cause problems because the old hacks are trying to fix a problem 
that's not there anymore


A challenge. Please list the current valid CSS hacks that can target or 
filter all the latest versions of the rendering engines. They being IE8, 
Gecko 1.9, Safari 4 (WebKit 531) and Opera 10. If you can not do this, 
then I would advice you to simply remove this whole section.

BTW, this layout.

http://matthewjamestaylor.com/blog/ultimate-3-column-holy-grail-pixels.htm


When you narrow the window in IE6, the middle column begin to shift to 
the right and flies over the right column.

When you narrow the window in IE7, IE8, Gecko 1.9 and Safari 4, Opera 
10, part of the content in the middle column is clipped.

[css-d] problem with sticky footer in most browsers

2009-11-07 Thread Debbie Campbell
On this site (WordPress if it makes any difference):

 http://www.onejedi.com/

My sticky footer is working fine in FF and IE8 - but in Safari/Win, 
Opera and Chrome, the footer is sliding up slightly over the bottom of 
div#content.

In IE7 the footer's way up into #content.

I'm using this sticky footer method:

Can someone tell me how to fix what I have, or suggest another method I 
should be using here? Help is much appreciated.

So is Lassko our resident expert on all things CSS here?

It is useful to know so that we can fire quick questions towards him to his

Mmmm, *Laakso* is _good_ - especially at tearing our dream-designs 
apart. I quite often let him have a go at mine  ;-)

  to his direct email.

Usually isn't seen as nice to bypass the list entirely early on, unless 
the subject is off topic (not really CSS related) and/or you already 
have a dialog going with a person. So many proficient people (and other 
8-)  creatures) on this list that may have something to add, or 
subtract, if given a chance.

[css-d] Advertisement has unwanted link border around it

2009-11-07 Thread Brian M. Curran
Hi,
In IE7 and Firefox the advertisement on my site 
http://www.locallaw11of1998.com/ has an unwanted border around it, because it 
is a link. The ad is a CSS list as the code below shows. I tried a few ways of 
giving it text-decoration: none; but that didn't work. Does anyone know how to 
get rid of the border? 

#sideNavBar {
 padding: 0 10px;
 margin: 0;
 width: 140px;
 }
#sideNavBar li {
 list-style: none;
 margin: 0;
 padding: 2px 0;
 }
#sideNavBar li a {
 display: block;
 }
#sideNavBar li img {
 vertical-align: bottom;
 }

The home page HTML is:
div id=contentIndex3
h2Ads/h2
hr/
ul id=sideNavBar
li id=t-ad1a href=http://www.brianmcurran.com; target=_blankimg 
src=images/BrianMCurranAd.gif width=120 height=90 alt=BrianMCurranAd 
//a/li

Thanks,

I think if you add border = 0 to the attributes  img, the border will go 
away.

Well, according to your source code, there's supposed to be a logo  
there, called LOGO.jpg. Doesn't look like the image is on the server.  
Did you upload the images folder to the server? Is the logo in the  
images folder?

  Debbie,
 
  The trick with footer to remain at the bottom of the page
  irrespective of content or browsers used is to to change
  or add to the the #body section in css file as follows:
[...]
  This metthod is proposed by Matthew James Tsaylor on his website

  
http://matthewjamestaylor.com/blog/keeping-footers-at-the-bottom-of-the-page
 
  Hope this proves useful.


Jay, can you please bottom post since it requires extra work at this end 
to just edit this thread into an easy followed message.

Matthew James Taylor's method has the same problems in Opera that this 
demo has.

http://css-class.com/test/demos/sticky-footer1.htm


Opera misbehaves in the bottom part of pages in many ways and does not 
follow the CSS specialization. Opera also fails with this page which 
uses absolute positioning.

http://css-class.com/test/zeta.htm


The most cross browser friendly is still footerStickAlt or the many 
variations of this method.
