[css-d] lots of validation errors, tables, and other things that we just love!

2010-11-02 Thread Chris Blake

Hey,

I have just been handed this: http://wolves.redrunner.co.uk/
The creator has used a template that has since been removed from the  
place he got it from. I'm trying to save it rather than rebuild it  
from scratch.
Firstly the validation errors seem to be mainly to do with doctype.  
Any ideas what it should be?
I have a really nasty bug appearing in safari 5.0.2 mac osx. Two  
scroll bars and white space at the bottom of the page. It's not like  
that in FF. It also doesnt appear in the admin sde so I think it has  
something to with the content.
Most of the the styling problems aren't too hard to fix (if it's not  
in tables anyway) so I am not too fussed with fixing those yet.


Thanks, Chris

Changing the first two lines to :

!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC -//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN 
http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd;
html xmlns=http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml; lang=en xml:lang=en dir=ltr

reduces the errors to nine and the warnings to one;
you may be able to see the corrected version at

http://web-consultants.org.uk/sites/worcester-wolves/

but sadly the validator can't, for reasons to the bottom of
which I have not yet been able to get.

Please let me know whether you can access

http://web-consultants.org.uk/sites/worcester-wolves/

as this will help me work out why the validator cannot.

[css-d] setting z-index on a lightbox in WordPress

2010-11-02 Thread Debbie Campbell

In this WordPress site:


http://www.greyrockconcretedesign.com/gallery/?album=6gallery=2


I can't get the div#TB_window (NextGen Gallery is the plugin) to show in 
front of the menu - z-index isn't working or I'm applying it 
incorrectly. Can someone help?

normal... :-)

from the stylesheet:
http://www.greyrockconcretedesign.com/wp-content/themes/skin/library/media/css/screen.css

ul#menu-primary-menu li a {z-index: 1000;} 
That is higher than the z-index for your #TB_window

I work hard on my websites that contain a drop-down menu to make sure
the drop items show over the top of any elements in the page. Normally
you want the viewer to have access to those menu options. Unless I
misunderstand your situation, I'd say that everything is working the
way it should.

Claude Needham

Hi Claude,

This seems to be a problem in IE7 (or IE8 in compat mode) only. The fix 
is to set the parent container of the menu to position relative and 
assign it a z-index higher than your gallery.


You also realize, I'm sure, that your drop-down menus are not going to 
be functional in the fashionable touch devices that everyone seems to be 
using these days. You can either use a scripted menu that supports touch 
devices (ours do and most newer jQuery implementations do, as well) or 
make sure your landing pages contain the links that appear in their 
relevant drop-down menus in the content flow. In other words, on this page:


http://www.greyrockconcretedesign.com/concrete-for-colorado-homes/

Make sure that the content contains clear links to Bathroom Remodeling 
and Kitchen remodeling.
