Re: [css-d] A CSS calendar with an unordered list

2011-01-17 Thread Barney Carroll
David,

I have discovered problems in IE 7 that

do not appear in IE 8 compatibility mode,


Compatibility mode is a weird best-of-both-worlds, neither-man-nor-beast
setup — I wouldn't bother catering for it and certainly wouldn't use it to
emulate IE7 behaviour. Hit F12 to get IE8's developer tools [1]: browser
mode is the second from leftermost menu entry. To all intents and purposes,
rendering, script handling etc are identical to IE7.

 Hey Gabriele,

 I can't test my pages in IE7/6 anymore, since I switched to Win 7

 necessary, since IE8's IE7 emulation has been by and wide perfect in
 my experience.


 Hmm. Not my experience at all. I have discovered problems in IE 7 that
 do not appear in IE 8 compatibility mode, and vice versa. Page zoom
 in particular behaves very differently in some constructs.

 Sadly, I have not kept a record of when this happened... :(

 Apologies for interrupting this thread.

[css-d] spacing and float problem

2011-01-17 Thread Travis Killen
Hello all,  I have a fluid layout and I don't like how the elements wrap 
on the homepage.  You will notice that the middle two boxes drop to a 
lower line on small screens.  I would like this to happen at resolutions 
lower than 1280x1024.  It seems that my 4% margins are making the boxes 
wrap at about 1380px.  I have been trying to add 50px to the left and 
right margins in various places to make the page look right (with no 
wrap) at 1280x1024, but have had on luck.  Any suggestions on how I can 
easily achieve this goal?

CSS feature/attribute you're using?




This site is pretty useful. Beyond the table layout detailing 
full/limited/no support, most of the specific pages have examples so you 
can see for yourself. It won't check your page for you, but if you 
generally know what you are using a quick scan through the table can 
give you an idea of where your problems might lie.

No easy way I'm afraid, other than to play with element widths and 
margins. Doing so may lead to something like this...


http://www.gunlaug.no/tos/alien/tk/tk.htm

...which may or may not work well enough for comfort at your end.

• In that page fixed-width elements are shoehorned into a table, which 
isn't a good idea.
• Stylesheets and inline-styles are competing, which makes modifications 
hard.
• Fixed height on elements containing text certainly isn't a good idea 
either, as a little font-resizing in browsers will create overflow and 
destroy everything.


Better to make up your mind if you want to use layout-tables or CSS for 
the entire page, and organize/style it accordingly.


regards
Georg
