 That won't work in IE/Win, I believe, but it will in pretty much
 anything else of recent vintage.  Alternatively, you could create a
 smallish PNG which is all white and has 50% opacity and drop it into
 the background of the div.  That will work in all current browsers
 including IE/Win.

 Also, you can use IE filter for gradients, which allow for opacity:

 div { 
 filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorstr=#6600, 
 endColorstr=#6600 ); }

 #66FF00 would be the hexadecimal color. Then the last hexadecimal value 
 would be the opacity of the color.

 With the caveat(s) that:
 1. the element must have 'hasLayout' [1] set to true for those filters to 
 work correctly most of the time
 2. those filters affect the display of text / font smoothing, and not exactly 
 as an improvement, esp on Win XP.
 3. those filters may affect how other -descendent- element act, see [2] for 
 example

 (I prefer the semi transparent png file my self, and opaque backgrounds for 
 old browsers such as IE 6).

Here's a tool I'm developing that automates the process for all the
methods discussed. It's a first draft, but it may be of some help:

[css-d] Safari not support dotted border prop?

2010-05-25 Thread John
wanted to confirm with others here whether Safari properly supports

border-style:dashed   and   border-style:dotted

When I used 'dotted,' Firefox 3.6.3 renders a dot; Safari 3.0.4  
renders it as a dash.

that might be my problem, but Safari 4 on this little machine is not  
pretty.

thanks!

[css-d] CSS way to code persistent menu?

2010-05-25 Thread John
by persistent menu, I mean the menu/banner stays put. as user scrolls  
down to see more of your page, what had been at the top appears to  
slide underneath the banner, which remains visible at all times.

I know that this can be done with framesets, but wonder (and hope)  
that there's a CSS way of doing this now.

Here's a link to graphically show what I mean:

thanks for any hints.

Wrap the menu/banner within a DIV and set position fixed for that DIV.

HTML
div id=top
menu/banner markup
/div 

CSS
#top {
position:fixed;
...
}

Safari/4.0.5, and the current WebKit nightly, support the dotted border 
property on Mac OS X 10.4.11.

  position: fixed;

The wiki shows how to fake it in IE 6 (if you care...)
