[css-d] ADMIN: list status
Hello, As Eric mentioned awhile back, we are experiencing some problems with the lists that evolt.org maintains. Specifically, we are being hit by spammers and/or slow remote connections to our MTA (mail transfer agent). Mail clients are connecting to the server and sending large files or simply not completing their mail session. This ties up a mail server process, of which there are a limited number. We've implemented shorter timeouts and are actively killing what appear to be hung processes. We hope that this has helped the situation. On another topic, we will be trying to move all of the lists to a new, faster server in the near future. We will be using a new MTA which is hopefully more efficient and better able to handle the load.

[css-d] Fit website appropriately in any browser
Hello all, I don't know if this is a CSS issue or perhaps I would have to use JavaScript or something for this, but could someone give me advice as to how to resize my website automatically to fit the browser window? In some browsers I notice that my site is very blown up and looks very unattractive - I don't want the user to have to zoom out (some users don't know how to do that). Thoughts? Here is the website: www.williamtobrien.com thanks! __ 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/
Re: [css-d] Fit website appropriately in any browser
could someone give me advice as to how to resize my website automatically to
fit the browser window?
Right now you're sizing all your divs in pixels. That means that they will
always be that size, no matter how small the browser is.
There are other options for sizing that will take this limitation away.
Setting sizes in ems will set the size in relation to the font-size (1em =
current font size). Setting sizes in percents will size something according to
its parent container.
So for example, you're the parent of #indexjacket is body (which is the
window). You can set this rule:
#indexjacket {
width: 80%;
max-width: 990px;
min-width: 300px;
}
That means that it will be 80% of the window width, but if 80% is bigger than
990px, it'll stop growing, and if 80% is less than 300px, then it'll stop
shrinking.

[css-d] For those interested in @font-face
Hello all, Since I expect many of you are working with customized fonts, and many more of you are probably interested in doing so, I'd like to share an interesting article on bulletproof font-facing: http://paulirish.com/2009/bulletproof-font-face-implementation-syntax/ It's interesting reading even if you aren't planning to immediately use @font-face, actually. There's a nice progression through various approaches and what's undesirable about them, as well as good tidbits about which browsers support what font formats. -- Eric A.

[css-d] apply float:left and links stop working

Both the page and the css validate.
Bottom of the page, two clear (white background) div boxes side by side
on the left side of page (one title says TO OUR VISITORS and the other
Title is HOMEBOUND OR JUST ...). Float works fine except that when divs
are floated, the links in the right hand of the two boxes do not work.
Unfloat and voila', they work like a charm. Here is css for the 2
classes directly affecting the divs.

Re: [css-d] apply float:left and links stop working
I'm not certain, but try this. Your HTML code refers to div
class=box_clear_float_left. In your CSS you named the class
div.box_clear_float_left {}. Remove the div from the CSS code so
that it reads,
.box_clear_float_left {
float: left;
line-height: 1.2em;
font-style: italic;
color: #00;
border-color: #00;
border-width: 1px;
border-style: solid;

margin: 0px 3px 20px 0px;

[css-d] Rounded Corners
I would like to know what people are doing to create rounded corners on div borders in non-mozilla , non-safari browsers. I thought I found a solution, which at least included opera, but I tried it and it isn't working there, either.

Re: [css-d] apply float:left and links stop working
Add:
div.footer {
clear:both;
...
}
This will push the footer underneath the two floated divs.
Actually the footer is underneath div.box_clear masking the two divs bellow
and making the links unclicable.

My preferred method is to create a single image that contains all 4
corners. Then I set it as the background image for a 4 DIVs that are
each only big enough for one of the corners. I relatively or absolutely
position the element I want rounded corners on, then I absolutely
position the DIVs containing the corner images, putting one in each
corner of the parent.
Using this method works wherever CSS works, but it requires you to
change the image whenever you change background colors. It only
requires one very small image.
There are several ways to do it with JavaScript and no images. I've
even seen one method that uses an absolutely positioned round-style
bullet like the kind that's used in bulleted lists.
Check these out: http://delicious.com/Ghodmode/roundedcorners
There's also a script at curvycorners.net that should recognize when you
use CSS3 rounded corners in your stylesheet and apply rounded corners
using JavaScript when the browser doesn't support the CSS3. I've found
it works quite well, but it has some conflicts with jQuery. Although
the documentation says that it works in Opera if you put your style
information into the page rather than in a separate stylesheet, I've
found that it only works in Opera if I call it manually.
Here's my preferred method:
head
style type=text/css
body { background-color: gray; }
div#roundme {
background-color: white;
position: relative;
}
div.corner {
/* This would be an image containing 4 5px rounded
corners with a transparent inside and a gray background */
background-image: url('images/corners.png');
width: 5px;
height: 5px;
position: absolute;
font-size: 0px;
}
div.corner.tl {
background-position: bottom right;
top: 0;
left: 0;
}
div.corner.tr {
background-position: bottom left;
top: 0;
right: 0;
}
div.corner.bl {
background-position: top right;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
}
div.corner.br {
background-position: top left;
bottom: 0;
right: 0;
}
/style
/head
body
div id=roundme
pThis is a paragraph!!/p
div class=corner tlnbsp;/div
div class=corner trnbsp;/div
div class=corner blnbsp;/div

My thanks to Maurico, Bill, Theresa and Fizz. The clear:both worked a
charm. Your ideas forced to look at some css I haven't looked at in a
while. Found some mistakes and streamlined some. Thanks for the help.
All works fine now.
