Ghodmode,

What version of Firefox? I had no slowdown on AT-AT. Also:

2011/12/22 Ghodmode ghodm...@ghodmode.com

 It seems like Mozilla should have already had enough time to regain
 their place as the superior browser, if they could, but it hasn't
 happened.  For sites that incorporate HTML5/CSS3 or a lot of
 JavaScript, Webkit has to be the target platform.

 It's disappointing.  Firefox has a better plugin / extension architecture.


They focused first on memory usage and did that quite well. In Chrome own
test for version 17 (or 16?) Chrome lost to FF8 (or 7?). Can't remember
where I read it, but I read something like this.

As for market shares - these seem to be divided by region. There are places
where Chrome leads, there are places where FF does. But, you might have had
a different meaning of superior browser in mind so... ;-)

pozdrawiam,

[css-d] weird firefox bug?

2011-12-22 Thread Chris Kavinsky
A client just pointed something out to me on their site, and after an hour
of messing with it, I figured out what was causing it. Basically, if you
have a list item (same issue with both ol and ul lists) that is hyperlinked
and also has a strong tag applied to it, and if the list item extends to a
second line, Firefox will drop the marker for that list item. It seems to
be a combination of all the above, because if I removed any of the three
variables (strong, hyperlink, second line), the marker appears. There was
absolutely nothing in the CSS that I could find that would do this, and its
fine in all other browsers. I solved the issue by having the CSS apply the
bold to any hyperlinked list item. Is anyone else aware of this weird
behavior in Firefox, and is it indeed a bug? I couldn't find anything when
I googled it.

[css-d] A Holiday Treat from PVII

2011-12-22 Thread Al Sparber

Happy Holidays from PVII

Save time this holiday season with a free productivity booster from PVII


Equal Height CSS Columns

Learn how to make your CSS columns automatically adjust to the height of 
the tallest column in just a few minutes. This free productivity booster 
includes a tutorial, and a bonus 3-column CSS layout all decked out for 
the holidays with rounded corners and inset shadows!



Instead of using background images, CSS hacks, or CSS that is not yet 
supported by all browsers, PVII Equal Height Columns uses modern DOM 
Script to work its magic.



Go to Tutorial:

http://www.projectseven.com/tutorials/css/pvii_columns/index.htm


Key Features

Supports dynamic content height

If the height of any column ever changes, PVII Equal Height Columns will 
make all necessary adjustments—instantly. The script monitors your page 
every few milliseconds to see if the height of any column needs 
adjustment. Your column height will always be perfect. If your page 
includes a panel widget (like an accordion) that causes column height to 
change when you move from panel to panel, the system will adapt to the 
new height seamlessly.



Deploying PVII Equal Height Columns

Deployment is as easy as linking the PVII Equal Height Column script and 
assigning a class to a set of columns.



Nested Groupings

You can deploy the PVII Equal Height Columns script on your outer column 
structure, as well as column structures nested inside.

Using the same markup from the demo page for this tutorial, but
dumping all of the CSS and Javascript, this is much better
accomplished like this...

#layout-wrapper {
display: table;
border-collapse: separate;
border-spacing: 10px;

#columns-wrapper {

.p7ehc-a {

Javascript is only necessary to support IE7 and older.

 Security ;-)

There are some security and privacy concerns about enabling Javascript
in browsers when it isn't necessary.  It's a common enough concern
that we should take it into consideration when making web sites.

ref: http://krebsonsecurity.com/2011/05/blocking-javascript-in-the-browser/

 Obviously you are confused over what accessibility means. Accessibility
 means access to content. For instance, the gray links in this particular
 site (which happens to be yours):

Accessibility is often an appropriate concern when dealing with
Javascript because screen readers don't execute Javascript.  However,
since the Javascript isn't necessary for site navigation or access to
content here, you're right.

 http://www.ghodmode.com/blog/

 That's an accessibility problem. Not the height of columns :-)

No, that's just an ugly site with a poorly chosen color scheme :(

The coding of my site is crap.  I admit it.  I originally meant to
make it a highly-customized and regularly updated modification of
Wordpress, but I didn't stick with it.  I'll fix it all when I get a
round to it (http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/round_tuit), but then I'll
probably stop before it's done again.

Instead of doing something productive with my time, like updating my
own site, I spend it making curmudgeonly cynical comments about other
people's sites... sorry about that :-}

 every 20 milliseconds.

 I'm afraid you are very wrong. Count to twenty milliseconds then look at

I might be missing something here.  I didn't mean to say that 20
milliseconds is too slow, but that it's too often.

Admittedly, it's a small piece of code, but having the browser execute
something 50 times per second doesn't seem like a good idea.

I'm not enough of a Javascript ninja, and this isn't the right place
to discuss it, but wouldn't it be better if code like this was
associated with an event handler for onclick or something like that?

Hmmm... is there a js-discuss mailing list?

Okay, you're right... I was a little harsh.  It was the cheesy

Chrome/Chromium/Webkit feels faster and has better CSS3 support.
That's what I meant.  Also, the mobile platform is becoming more

There are too many differing sources of information about market

[css-d] CSS Via Conditional Comments for Safari?

2011-12-22 Thread Elli Vizcaino
Hello CSS Discuss, 


Is there a way to serve Safari browsers a browser specific stylesheet via 
conditional comments? If so, how do I do set it up? My reason being that since 
by default Safari tends to render fonts with a bold weight, it's making the 
custom script font in this site: http://www.e7flux.com/clients/sof/ even 
bolder. I need the font-weight set to bold for all the other browsers but, 
don't need it for Safari due to the aforementioned.  


TIA!

Re: [css-d] CSS Via Conditional Comments for Safari?

2011-12-22 Thread Tomasz Borek
Elli,

I don't have Safari here, so can't really replicate the issue, but:

1) Conditional comments are strictly IE phenomenon AFAIK.
2) What about Stokely Safari hack or Giant Island (I think that's how the
successor to Stokely was called)?

http://www.stormdetector.com/hacks/safarihack.html
http://www.giantisland.com/Resources/LitePacificHackforSafariAndIE7.aspx

3) Or, if you're after browser-specific CSSes, why not use CSS Browser
Selector? It's JS, true, but light (really little number of code lines),
open source (so no cost and easy to say what's inside).
http://rafael.adm.br/css_browser_selector/

4) Finally, while looking for conditional comments for Safari to be certain
of point 1), I found few dozen links that said there are none and this one
here, about *CSS* conditional comments:
http://code.adonline.id.au/css-conditional-comments-for-chrome-and-safari/

Hope this helps!

Hello again,

I'm using FF8, but I think it might be because I'm on Linux.  I think
 I remember hearing something about FF having hardware-accelerated
 graphics on Windows, but not on Linux.


Harware-accelereted graphics are one, but:
1) I'm on Ubuntu ATM
2) Have a feeling (might be mistaken) that this Walker machine is not such
kind of animation that would rely heavily on graphics hardware acceleration.
3) The author on site itself says this There are no images or flash
animations used in this experiment and the animation on this page may
hammer your CPU. If it's CPU, not graphic card, I *think* it's not meant
to be using hardware accel.


Very true about mobiles. Kinda on a same page, my friend recently noticed,
quite relieved, that it was such a good decision NOT to bother with Symbian
some time ago, seeing how all things mobile are now...  :-)

Tomek

As noted Conditional Comments are IE only. There are a variety of 'hacks'

some point.

 bold weight, it's making the custom script font in this site:

I have a hard time understanding what you mean by this. Safari renders your 
fonts just the same as any other browser.

The only I might imagine being a reason for your problem is a configuration of 
your copy of Safari on Windows: Safari has a preference to use different 
font-smoothing settings, one (the default) matches what Windows OS uses, 
another one simulates, eventually, something that looks like the rendering on 
OS X.

I've uploaded a screen shot of both browsers side by side. Safari on windows

in FF and the rest of the browsers I've checked (chrome, ie, opera). This has 
always been my experience w Safari render fonts even when viewing directly on a 
Mac. I really need the font to render like the rest of the browsers because 
that heavy weight is throwing my design off :(.

I've had similar experiences in Safari (with its default settings!). Situations 
where I had to give some text-containing DIVs a fixed width, only to realize 
that in Safari, things would break horribly because some text was rendered 
differently -taking up more horizontal space- in Safari. Not just strange 
fonts, but also standard ones.

So does this mean that on a Mac, the font looks like it does in FF? And 
I'm seeing something that safari is doing here on my windows machine?

Ok so I checked my settings and by default it's set to Windows Standard. How is 
this Windows standard when windows doesn't render the fonts with a bold weight 
like that. And how does this help my case in trying to get the font to render 
the same multi-browser?

For whatever unknown reason Safari is not rendering the @font-face 
webfont in any version of OS Windows [as far as I can tell] as intended. 
An alternative solution may be to select another font. Try Font Squirel 
and use the expert setting with their @font-face generator.

Gecko 1.9.2 and Safari 5.1/ Chrome dev channel all render the same.
A nightly Firefox build and Opera render the 'Little Days' font differently 
(and differently from each other).

The issue is that your 'Little Days' font is a 'normal weight' face, but your 
stylesheet specifies that it should be bold. As you don't provide a 'bold 
weight' face, browsers simulate the bolding artificially (and do a poop job in 
some cases).

here is a test case:
http://dev.l-c-n.com/_temp/ev-20111223.html
and a screen shot - from left: Safari, Opera, Firefox 9:
http://dev.l-c-n.com/_temp/ev-20111223.png

btw, I also would suggest to split up your @font-face block, as I did in the 
test case. Your way of doing it is strange, although the validator doesn't puke 
on it.

 As david notes, a link to the offending page or even better, a minimal test 
 page, would be helpful. The best I could come up with, based on your 
 description, is this:
 http://dev.l-c-n.com/_temp/ck-20111222.html
 (which, of course, doesn't show the issue…).
 
 I'm not aware of any combination of mentioned html elements that would cause 
 the list marker to disappear.

Chris send me a link to the offending page off-list.

minimal:
http://dev.l-c-n.com/_temp/ck-20111223.html

The problem is caused by 'vertical-align: top' in the reset block.
(toggle it on/off in Firebug).

Now the Big Question: why would Gecko do that ? Sounds like a bug to me, 
although I'd need to reparse the relevant text in CSS2.1 spec to be sure.

Notice also that the text-decoration is above of the link text in my Gecko 
nightly.

After pondering this a bit, I don't think there is a bug at all. Notice that 
the document above is in pseudo-strict mode (aka semi-quirks mode), as it uses 
a transitional doctype. In strict mode, everything behaves correctly.
