Articles comparing Arial to Helvetica, particularly those favoring Arial,
make me laugh. Arial is a Helvetica knockoff:
http://www.ms-studio.com/articles.html

However, not all Helveticas on computers are equivalent, or suitable for web
pages: http://fm.no-ip.com/Auth/Font/font-helvetica.html#bitmap

http://www.codestyle.org/css/font-family/sampler-CombinedResultsFull.shtml
provides good detail on what people have.

What's sure to work is allowing the user to choose - purely generic as it
were. Just set serif or sans-serif, as your design or pleasure dictate, for
body text, and most text will be exactly what the user's preference is set
to, giving a predictable level of reading comfort and ease.

[css-d] id and class selectors

2010-07-21 Thread TriState Advantage, Kris Jacobson
>Hi!
Today's my birthday. Here's a gift for you:

>http://onwebdev.blogspot.com/2010/07/css-id-and-class-selectors-details.html

Thank you for this article, I found it a good reinforcement of using id's and 
class's.
I have a questions on styling lists and links in a div.
I have been styling lists using id's
example
#div ul
#div li
#div li a
#div li a:hover
I followed a tutorial when I first did this and it worked. Then I thought this 
is wrong. There is more then one li and more then one link in the list so I 
changed them to class's and the styling did not work so I had to change them 
back to id's.
I don't understand why, I just know it works and it validated. Is this because 
it is in a list?

  Off course- it should be a:active!

However,
both

#block-uc_catalog-0 li a:active

won't show the background whilst #block-uc_catalog-0 a:hover {

Re: [css-d] background color of a with class

2010-07-21 Thread Tim Arnold
"a:active" will only be styled for a brief second when you click a link and
must be listed AFTER a:hover in order to work.  It seemed from your original
post that you were looking for styling that would persist for a menu item
that you had clicked on and now represented the "current" section.  In that
case, you will have to, in fact, add a class.

  True, I was double mistaken.
The class is .active: http://winkel.varkensinnood.nl/catalog/2
so it should be .active after all.
However, both
#block-uc_catalog-0 a .active {
 background-color:#69F;
}
as
#block-uc_catalog-0 li a .active {
 background-color:#69F;
}

won't work...

 If you copy/pasted into you message, the problem is that there is a
 space between "a" and ".active". It should be "a.active" not "a .active"

Re: [css-d] id and class selectors

2010-07-21 Thread Gabriele Romanato
Kris, you should basically use cascade. For example, if you have a  
structure like this:








you can do this:

#test ul {}
#test ul li {}

if you want to apply particular styles to several lis, you can use  
classes. On the contrary, if you want to stylize only one element, use  
an ID.

HTH ^^

It turns out that it is the background color in my non-print style sheet that 
is creating the printing havoc (looks like a series of nested borders).  If I 
set the background-color to white in the print style sheet as David suggested 
it prints fine. Does anyone know why this happens with Opera?

[css-d] footer problem

2010-07-21 Thread tomo jacobson
hi everybody

i made a footer:






















with css:

/* footer
---
*/

#footer {
position: fixed;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
width: 100%;
height: 55px;
background: url(images/tlo-bottom.jpg) repeat-x left bottom;
}

#bottom-image {
padding-top: 10px;
}

#what {
position: absolute;
right: 10px;
bottom: 2px;
}

and it works: http://www.tomojacobson.art.pl/strona/things.htm

BUT...
what i wanted to achieve is that the NEWS, MUSIC and THINGS in the
footer are exactly in the middle, and the QUESTION MARK is on the
right. what i did with the code does the trick, but absolute position
of the QUESTION MARK causes problem when u resize the browser window
to a small one. then QUESTION MARK goes over the THINGS.
i would like it to be in the same table so if u resize it to a small
one then u just can't see them all and u have to scroll left or right
(just as it is with NEWS, MUSIC and THINGS when u resize the window to
a small one), and they don't come over each other. and in the same
time, so NEWS, MUSIC and THINGS exactly in the middle of the footer,
and the QUESTION MARK is on the right.
how to do it?? any ideas?

thanks

And you /probably/ shouldn't have a structure like that, since:






can usually be styled accordingly. YMMV, of course.

Re: [css-d] more Opera printing weirdness

2010-07-21 Thread Angela French
Well I thought I got it to work with removing the background color, but it's 
not.  I was printing from multiple browsers and must have made a mistake on 
which one worked.  :-(

Not sure. The primary difference that I get when printing the page in 
latest versions of Mac Firefox and Mac Opera is twofold:

1/ The page background color prints fuchsia in Opera [ you have not 
killed my default background-color ].
2/ The  content-text is a little smaller in Opera than in Firefox.

Try:
#maincontent p, li, td
{
/*font-size: 9pt!important;
font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica;*/

font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
font -size: 11pt;
   
}


 Best,
~d

In Mac Opera/10.6, I changed my default preference for background from 
fuchsia to white. I left my personal preference for /minimum font-size/ 
in this browser intact at 32px.
I clicked Opera>File>Print>Copies 1>Print.
It printed fine on 4 pages. The type is very large because my pref 
font-size setting overrides.

Best,
~d

PS Please bottom post. Thanks.

Yes, I would think so. Since you seem to get different results than mine 
-- assuming we are both using the same procedure to print -- I regret 
that I do not know what the problem is on your end. Note, that I am 
using Mac Opera/10.6; and, that I am unable to test the same browser on 
my PC at the moment. However, I rather doubt there might be any 
significant difference between Mac and PC for print?

Best,
~d

PS Please bottom post and cc the list so others may contribute their 
thoughts... Thanks.

And you certainly can optimise those selectors for better performance and 
simplicity:

#test ul { }
#test li { }
#test a { }

That's nice. I have a red pencil box: and, like most folks on this -- or 
any other list -- a limited amount of time...
