[css-d] Using CSS to customise an image in a Typepad theme

2010-11-22 Thread Seamus McCauley
Hi, I'd be grateful if someone could help me out with this one. I'm using the 
Typepad theme Journal (http://qurl.com/s42g5) on my blog at 
http://www.virtualeconomics.co.uk. I've just started using CSS to customise 
this 
theme - taking off the indent, changing the font, very basic stuff (see 
http://qurl.com/q2zb3). On every post there's a background image 
(http://qurl.com/4dg99) that appears under the title. It seems to be added in 
the entry-header h3, but I can't find where in the source code or the 
stylesheet 
the image is coming from so I can't work out how to remove it from posts. 
Needless to say, I want rid of it. Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I guess the key -- and it one that is extremely difficult to hold too -- 
is to keep it simple... particularly nowadays, with the sometimes 
current emphasis on attempting to hit  desktop, tablets, and mobile from 
one source file. It ain't easy [for me at least].

[css-d] H tags and style

2010-11-22 Thread Giles, Sarah
I am working on a large site with some designers.
I have been told to have the h1 tags below the h2 and h3 tags because they want 
the headlines that are lower on the page to be larger and more important then 
the ones higher up.

I think I will still encapsulate this part of the site in a div so as not to 
through off styles from the rest of the site. What do you guys think? Should 
what tags should I use. The style they want the tags to be is styled h1 for the 
site they think (they are having trouble nailing down a style guide for this 
project)

Hey Sarah,

The beauty of CSS is that you can style your H2s to be larger than your
H1s.  Never pick an HTML tag because of how it looks, pick it because of
what it means.  You should always use a good semantic structure and that
means a single H1 per page (unless you're using html5 doctype) with H2s
below that in the *structure of the content*, and H3s subordinate to the
H2s, etc.

"Important" is biased.

CSS lets you change styles so h6 tags look infinitely bigger than h1's
if you want.

I would politely suggest the "strong copy" approach, if you think
they'll eat up buzzwords. Multiple h1 tags will be seen as too many
book titles when they should just be chapters. That's perhaps one use
this CSS thing: to style down the h1's if they want and blow up the
h3's.

Of course, that's for us snooty CSS users. While the question of
markup may or may not apply here, the topic of CSS does, in which case
you can say "It doesn't matter what tags we use, CSS will let us make
it look the way we want to. So let's take the sane/questionable/crazy
method of ..." and apply your own ending as desired.

Dear Theo, that always confuses me, too... and I'm not so sure it is 
on-topic, but either way, fwiw:


w3c: "Headings should reflect the logical structure of the document; 
they should not be used simply to add emphasis, or to change the font size."

Taken literally, I suppose you might have something this on the index...?

h1 {font-size: 100%}/*source document title: bricks*/
h2 {font-size: 125%}/*sub-title: solid bricks*/
h3 {font-size: 150%}/*sub: solid colored bricks*/

And an inside page might be...?

p.tagline {font-size: 100% } /*source document title: solid bricks*/
h1{font-size: 125%} /*sub: solid colored bricks*/
h2 {font-size: 150%}/*sub: solid umber colored bricks*/
h3 {font-size: 150%}/*sub: solid burnt sienna colored bricks*/
h4 {font-size: 150%}/*sub: solid sienna colored bricks*/
h5 {font-size: 150%}/*sub: solid dark ochre colored bricks*/
h6 {font-size: 150%}/*sub: solid ochre colored bricks*/

Best,
Vincent

It seems to me that this would be:
p.tagline {font-size: 100% } /*source document title: solid bricks*/
h1{font-size: 125%} /*sub: solid colored bricks*/
h2 {font-size: 150%}/*sub: solid umber colored bricks*/
h2 {font-size: 150%}/*sub: solid burnt sienna colored bricks*/
h2 {font-size: 150%}/*sub: solid sienna colored bricks*/
h2 {font-size: 150%}/*sub: solid dark ochre colored bricks*/
h2 {font-size: 150%}/*sub: solid ochre colored bricks*/

unless I'm just not good at color, and burnt sienna is a shade of umber.

Because of height: 100%.

If you change that to height: auto; or take out the height property completely, 
it behaves just fine.

But height 100% means "Make this image 100% of the height of its parent 
container (div.portfolio)."

The beauty of CSS is that you can style your H2s to be larger than

There's even more beauty: you can style some text as prominently as you like 
without even making it a heading at all. It often happens that people want 
to highlight e.g. a company name or a campaign name appearing before a page 
heading. Normally such texts are logically not headings at all, and there's 
no need to use heading markup for them. You can use  markup, typically 
with a class attribute, and style the element "from scratch". The difference 
between this approach and using heading markup is that the latter implies, 
in practice, some default rendering (typically, top and bottom margin, large 
font size, and bolding), and you need to explicitly override it if you don't 
want it.

Here's the class in question:

.dotted {
border-top: 1px dotted #000;
padding: 8px 0 0 0;
	margin: 8px 0 0 0; << this margin value makes the paragraph go too

It's going wider because you have "margin: 10px;" set on plain old "p".
When you change the ".dotted"  to "margin: 8px 0 0 0;" you are turning
off the 10px margin on left, right, and bottom that was being inherited from
that previous style.

Re: [css-d] how can i place this menu in a div to be centered, respectively?

2010-11-22 Thread Rick Gordon
The definition for #nav in MenuMatic.css has text-align:right.
#nav{
display:block;
position: absolute;
list-style:none;
margin:0 0 0 -280px;
width:186px;
z-index:5;
top:10px; /* this has to be the same as #content in style.css */
left:33%; /* this has to be the same as #content in style.css */
text-align: right;
display:block;
}

That's the problem, change it to text-align:center. Or if you don't have direct 
access to MenuMatic.css, add a definition to style.css with !important.

Why does adding 8px to my margin top make that paragraph go as wide as

Tim answered your question.

Fwiw:
Keep it simple. Keep it valid. Avoid "break" tags. Hold +2 font-scaling 
without breaking the layout. Smile more. Frown less.

Please see:

PS Even if you spell it correctly delete the name at the top of your 
style sheet or the deal for the free "tat" is off.

Yes, other sites do show their background images and my BB's browser 
is set to "Show background images." 




Dunno, Christian-- no BB this end. Validate the CSS and try it (although 
I am not so sure this will make any difference). Short of that, assuming 
your on RIM's browser, try installing and running it first on Bolt and 
and then on OperaMini/5.2.
