100% of window width.  But since you cannot know what the window width 
is, you are no closer to being able to map from the number of px to a 
percentage, are you ?

And I won’t since what I referred to is the ABC of responsive web development. 
Go read up. I’ll answer specific questions, not your erroneous assumptions.

What were we talking about again? Ahhh, grids. Do grids need to be written in 
pixel sizes ot be grids? If you get advice on grids expressed in pixels and you 
work with percentages, what is it you need to do in order to make that advice 
or knowledge useful to you? H.

Give the context. Percentages refers to the context, do they not?

I’ll fill that in, but need to restart post-installation.

Unfortunately I must do work now, but the (classic) basic context-aware formula 
is target ÷ context = result. You can read the original article from Ethan 
Marcotte here Fluid Grids” http://alistapart.com/article/FLUIDGRIDS 
It will explain it all I think. 

Grids are not hocus locus. They’re simple (hopefully) and surprisingly flexible 
and useful tools.

You can use pixels for the parts of the grid you want to be inflexible, like 
gutters. This will break relative relationships so must be handled with care.

I have to agree with Philip here. If you don't know context you can use the
formula you referenced. That, I believe, is his point. Viewport width is
not something you will know.

If, for example, you know your content will be a max-width of 960px, then
you can work off of that in the formula.

Also, I'd recommend not mixing units as you could be creating a small
annoying mess. Gutters can be small percentages as well, figured out with
that same formula.

No, I'm not a troll.

This does not answer your specific questions. It is simply a coded
example of a  three column responsive grid layout. Variations of
column widths and their respective gutters/margins within the same
layout is possible. Percent is used for the fluid columns and the
margins [gutters]. Open in a full window and drag to a 480px mobile

 I have to agree with Philip here. If you don't know context you can use the 
 formula you referenced. That, I believe, is his point. Viewport width is not 
 something you will know. 

Agree on the obvious, you mean? In the given example, the context was known. It 
was 978px total width. If you assume those 978px are 100% of the viewport 
width, the size of which is really irrelevant as you don’t know the viewport 
size ever without scripting, then percentages for element widths including 
gutters are based on those 100% of actual x px width. If it’s 978 px, the 
element width will be based on that and if it’s 500px or 1200px it will be base 
on those numbers.

That there are ways of setting limits on when you express element widths in 
percentages, should not come as a surprise. There exists media queries, which 
means you could have a minimum width and a maximum width and shift from gutters 
expressed in pixels to gutters expressed in percentages or ems (I prefer the 
latter). This is how I usually do it and I assume everybody does something 
similar.  
 
 If, for example, you know your content will be a max-width of 960px, then you 
 can work off of that in the formula.
Which was the case, as there was an example. Why pretend there wasn’t a proper 
example that was framing what was being said?
http://www.webdesignerwall.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/978-grid.gif

 
 Also, I'd recommend not mixing units as you could be creating a small 
 annoying mess. Gutters can be small percentages as well, figured out with 
 that same formula.

Generally, that’s good advice, but it really depends on the design requirements.

I'll assume that the context is the 978 referenced in the OP in the url.

Even given that, mixing units is going to cause issues, especially for
those just learning. I recommend using percentage for all, as in David L's

That’s a good start, but percentage values does have to be controlled to not 
yield silly results in more extreme cases. I’ve used Media Queries and 
min-width/max-width with acceptable results. I think ems work better for 
gutters, even as they do add some unpredictability. That can be handled. 

I think the best way to learn is to experiment and exercise control over your 
CSS. If you use a framework, learn it properly.

Re: [css-d] Grid System

2014-10-20 Thread MiB

okt 20 2014 12:57 MiB digital.disc...@gmail.com:

 If it’s 978 px, the element width will be based on that and if it’s 500px or 
 1200px it will be base on those numbers.

I should have used plural ”widths” here, as the width property is of course 
only a part of the width an element will take up.

Re: [css-d] Links in Academic style reference list some times not working

2014-10-20 Thread Chris Rockwell
This doesn't appear to be related to CSS.  I would look first to the CMS
WYSIWYG as it appears to be stripping the href from the first a tag (from
what I see, this is consistent although your question states some times).

If you're using a WYSIWYG, try writing some markup that should work and
paste it in to the Disable Rich Text view.  Next, enable rich text, save
it, go back and view the source - is anything different from what you
originally put it?

Again, I don't think this is CSS related so if you want to send me more
details off list I would be happy to try and help.

GREAT! It works! 

I have updated on

I also have updated on my longest

 OK, you need to set an id on your li tag and move the href to it's proper

[css-d] Float problems

2014-10-20 Thread John
 at this link http://www.coffeeonmars.com/category/illustration/, the image of 
the carburetors is being pushed downward; my goal is to have it top-aligned 
with the two little paragraphs.  both that text and that picture are contained 
in the same container div which has overflow:hidden;  So I’m not getting why 
the image doesn’t behave according to..what I’m imagining..

maybe my imagining is wrong?  :-)

Thank you!

 .sample-summary is 100% width, and is holding the images down. In
Chrome dev tools, I was able to add a style to  .sample-summary as so:

width: 30%; Float:left;

and to the child ps, width: 100%;

The images then came up to the top of the green div.

Sorry, I am really confused..I believe the results of your experiments, but 
here is my own css..sample-summary already has 30% width, and both are 
contained by sample-and-text…maybe my eyes aren’t seeing it right?

.sample-and-text{
border:1px solid green;
overflow:hidden;
}
#content-left .sample-summary p{
border:1px solid red;
/* float:left; */
margin:1em 0 2em 0;
width:30%;
}


and my markup:

div class=sample-and-text
div class=sample-summary
p
paragraph 1
/p

p
paragraph 2
/p
/div

picture

That style says that the ps INSIDE .sample-summary are 30% wide.

and the markup I see in Chrome dev tools is:

div class=sample-summary
p/p

p [img] /p

This is what is rendered...not the source. Maybe a miss-placed close

No…I had tags closed, but I wasn’t correctly “seeing” my use of the descendent 
selector. I was so focused on making sure my p text behaved right, I completely 
ignored the containing div itself!  

You helped me to see it..and I just was not seeing it.  Good learning, this
