[css-d] Top gap
Hi! I can't get the last sentence -More project samples can be found here - on my portfolio page here: http://www.draftingservices.com/portfolio.html to have a gap between it and the table that is above it. Can anyone tell me why my padding css isn't working as I thought it should?

Re: [css-d] H1 tag Margin
Brian, it's because your h1 tag is floated... You can either remove float:left from h1 tag, or add clear left to you p tag.

[css-d] H1 tag Margin
Hi,
Apparently if I style my H1 tag like so:
h1{
float: left;
margin: 20px 0 20px 20px;
font-size: 58px;
line-height: 60px;
text-align: left;
text-transform: uppercase;
font-weight: normal;
}
And then put plorem ipsum/p tags below it, the p tags don't
automatically align themselves underneath the H1 tag, eh? I thought I could
use any margin size for the H1 tag, and not have a problem with putting a
sentence below it. Apparently not, huh?
Thanks,
Brian

Thanks David! I thought I was going to have to move the text, and not the

Yes, I know a heading isn't the best fit here. Styling a list seemed like a
bit of an overkill though. Don't know if there is a better option.

More often then not the type is tiny and difficult to read on a fixed width page.

There is little reason that the use of i markup, as opposite to CSS ways, would be relevant, though. If there were such situations, the issue would be off-topic for this list, which is about CSS, not HTML. Thanks for your thoughts Yucca.

[css-d] Possible list-style: values?
Hello,
I just enabled avatars on my blog comments, but they are not positioned
correctly:
http://www.draftingservices.com/blog/project-photofly-v2-resources
So I starting poking at it with firebug, to see if I could find and fix the
problem. I found that if I change:
.comment-meta {
font-size: 12px;
margin: 0 0 18px;
}
to:
.comment-meta {
font-size: 12px;
margin: 0 0 18px 60px;
}
Then I get the date indented nicely. Then I tried to change:
.comment-author {
}
to:
.comment-author {
margin: 0 0 0 60px;
}
However, firebug would let me type in this line margin: 0 0 0 60px , but
would not accept it. The line kept getting deleted after I typed it.
So, two questions.
1. Why wouldn't firebug accept that line of code?
2. Am I on the right track in fixing my problem, or is there a better fix?
Thanks,

Re: [css-d] Logo in a div
Hi Brian, CSS works better when the page structure is not minimal. Putting a logo inside a div allows you to add further styles to the context you're currently using. For example, you could add a background image (or more images with CSS3) to the div, thus creating a more visually appealing effect for your logo. It's a design choice, not a semantic choice in the strict sense of the term. HTH :-) Gabriele Romanato Thanks Gabriele. .Given the different responses I received, all of which were helpful, I just added a div around my logo. Perhaps I'll use it for styling purposes in the future. - Time will tell. -- Brian =) __ css-discuss [css-d@lists.css-discuss.org] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/

Re: [css-d] Image link be gone!
From: Christian Kirchhoff
not sure what you mean with not noticaable, but for getting rid of the
blue border that is shown in some browsers try
.textBoxRight a img {
border: none;
}
Yes, that's what I want to do. For some reason in Firefox I could still see
the border when hovering, after using your code. Therefore I did this, and
it's working now:
.textBoxRight a {color: #000;}
.textBoxRight a img {border: none;}
Thank you!

[css-d] Different font
Habari! Does anyone know why in IE8 I'm getting a courier type font for the ordered list items in the comment that I posted (at the bottom)?

[css-d] CSS and my Blog
Hello, I just had a blog added to my site: http://www.draftingservices.com/blog/ . My buddy is a computer programmer, so he undertook the task of adding it. (The rest of my site I built myself, with the help of many of ya'll.) He constructed it from WordPress. When posting, allot of CSS is generated automatically. My question is this. is it realistic to parse through the code to correct CSS errors?

Re: [css-d] Best way to use CSS to create image gallery
Subject: [css-d] Best way to use CSS to create image gallery For a long time, an article on my site about a photographer has had a big problem. It talks about him but doesn't show any images. The problem was coming up with quality scans of a few of his prints. I solved that problem. Now I'm trying to think of the most efficient way to present the images. The best idea I've had so far is that this might be a good time for me to use a sprite. Suggestions? - Keith Purtell http://www.keithpurtell.com/ I asked a similar question about a year or so ago.

[css-d] Nested List type
Hello, Re: www.draftingservices.com I'd like to add a new section to my website, that being AutoCAD Tutorials. So picture this, my secondary nav bar would have the AutoCAD Tutorials line added to it. Then, the AutoCAD Tutorial line would have a nested list of all the tutorials that I plan to create (i.e. Tutorial 1, Tutorial 2, etc.). This is where I start to get lost: When clicking on the AutoCAD Tutorial line in my secondary nav bar, I'd like it to be a landing page that would consist of an introduction paragraph. Also when it is clicked, I'd like all the nested list lines to appear (i.e. Tutorial 1, Tutorial 2, etc.). I would not want the nested list lines to be visible before the AutoCAD Tutorial line is clicked. Finally, when this part of my website is left, then I'd like the nested list lines to once again be hidden. .I'd like it to work how this site's Extras list line works: http://www.zabdesign.de/bremen-home.html . Is this possible to do with CSS alone, and no JavaScript? Sincerely, Brian M.

[css-d] Two nested list problems

[css-d] CSS1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, umpteen
Hello, Is CSS going to ever changes its acronym because of revisions to the language? For example, XCSS or CSS7 or CSSLaakso (sorry, couldn't resist to slip in a joke!! :-) ). I was just browsing through a Wikipedia article on CSS, and they gave a little history. They said, The CSS Working Group began tackling issues that had not been addressed with CSS level 1, resulting in the creation of CSS level 2 on November 4, 1997. It was published as a W3C Recommendation on May 12, 1998. CSS level 3, which was started in 1998, is still under development as of 2009. So it seems that the language keeps getting revised/improved, but it has continued to just be known as CSS, correct? Sincerely, Brian M.

There are 2 animated gif's but that to me is the only activity. There is no apparent JavaScript in the source that would control a slideshow, and the CSS does not hint at any slideshow. aside is there a reason for the spaces that you always seem to add to your links? /aside Duncan Hello Duncan. That's what I was talking about, that is, the gifs that are animated. I likened them to a slideshow effect, but I didn't mean slideshow literally. I've never seen something like that before, hence my post. The other responder to my post seemed to say that it was a JavaScript effect. I haven't re-looked at it yet to confirm that. If you know how the gifs are animating, then please share. As for the spaces in urls: Every time a url is posted to this site it creates a link that lives on the web. I already have a ton of them to my personal site, and I don't want them. A trillion garbage links pointing to a website could possibly not be the best thing for a website's rankings in Google's SERPs. This is a debatable SEO topic.

Brian,
IE/6.0 doubles the margin-left causing the float to drop.
The correction is:
* html #navtwocontainer {
display : inline;
} /* only IE/6.0 sees the star hack */

[css-d] IE8 collapsing spaces

Your p tags have 13px margin-top and bottom, which create the gap

In the future, a great debugging tool to use is Firebug

[css-d] Why no image overflow error?
Hello,
On my page:
http://www.draftingservices.com/paper_to_cad.html
1.-The image is placed inside:
/* = width=420+2border+10padding=432 = */
.textBoxLeft
{
width: 420px;
float: left;
margin: 0 0 10px 0;
padding: 5px;
border: 1px solid #000;
background: #fff;
font-size: x-small;
}
2.-The div that it is within is:
/* = width=420+0border+10padding=430 = */
#contentMiddle {
float: left;
margin: 0;
padding: 10px 10px 10px 0;
width: 420px;
}
3.-The image size is: 420px by 170px.
4.-And lastly, the html is:
div class=textBoxLeft
img src=images/paper_to_cad.jpg alt=A paper to cad result. width=420
height=170/
br/
The CAD result of a paper to cad project.
/div
My question is: So, why does the image with the box that it sits in seem to be
within the div? Shouldn't my CSS or HTML fail to validate, because of an
overflow problem?
Sincerely,
Brian

At the bottom of my home page the space between the table and the Contact h5

Here's my thoughts:

The margins on the paragraphs are plenty - you don't need them on the
blockquote too.
also remove the font and line height rules - I liked it better in Arial.
Also, I'd consolidate the blockquotes into 2 (instead of 5):
blockquote
pI specialize .../p
pI additionally .../p
/blockquote
blockquote
pI provide .../p

As usual, thank you gentlemen.
I got rid of the brs, added the blockquote tags, tried the q tag but
it didn't work, and also gave the color scheme a whirl but it was too
radical for me. I'm happier than I was, because the code is cleaned-up and
the page seems more readable with the quote indents. IMO it still lacks
something though? I'm thinking that adding a nice little image for the
quotation marks would be a start. That's what has always been appealing to
me when I see quotes on blogs. -- The cool quotation marks and indented
text.
Thanks again for making my site better!

[css-d] Taking my site to the next level
Hi All, I've built my site with the help of this CSS community (which I'm extremely grateful to), and now I'd like to talk to someone about making it look more professional. The written content and link structures need to stay the same, because of SEO reasons. Therefore I just want my basic design look to be improved upon. For instance, I'm not satisfied with how my secondary nav bar looks. I'm also not satisfied with how my masthead looks, and how I've used my logo in it. ...So, if there is someone looking to take on another project, then please send me a personal email, with a link to your design portfolio. I prefer a Designer who is contemporary and minimalistic in his website designs.

Re: [css-d] thoughts on img alt tag verbage
John wrote: I'm validating my website pages, html first, and mostly what I'm getting errors on is my failure to use alt inside my img tags.. Actually, it's more of a warning, I guess it's promoting best practices, but lack of alt doesn't seem to affect the validity and function of the code. But as I'm going through each image tag, I wonder how verbose should I be? Is the assumption that blind people will gain value from hearing a description of every image they can not see? the website in question is my own graphic design portfolio site, so the odds of blind people visiting are slim. However for other sites, is it wise and proper to paint as much of a picture as you can for benefit of those who can't see? Maybe the answer is an obvious yes for some images, but I can also imagine it being pretty annoying hearing logo over and over again, whereas there could be some functional benefit to hearing shopping cart icon. thoughts? thank you, John Hello John, HTML websites styled by CSS have the potential to eventually reap SEO advantages. Your site getting ranked when prospective clients query your keywords could lead to you landing projects. Therefore, use your keywords in your alt text (and for your image file names too), without being spammy. You'd in turn be helping the blind, while optimizing your site. I looked for a good article in my files to pass along on this topic, but couldn't find one. Google the topic, or check searchenginewatch.com. Sincerely, Brian M.

Either way, you may want to add this to keep the text and image within
their own block:

Re: [css-d] Image text box
Your question has more to do with HTML than CSS -- asking if using a paragraph tag is okay as long as it works -- but I'll respond anyway. There are two different kind of it works in our business. There's it works for me and there's it works across browsers. Brian M. Curran wrote: Hi All, I've never done this before... I made a bordered text box around an image using a paragraph.

Sincerely, Brian Why would I do that, if what I've done works. ...This basically harkens back to my original question. An important point about standards is to come up with a way that your code not only works across browsers but will continue to work even as browsers change. The notion is that if you write compliant code, and the community develops compliant browsers, everything will continue to work with little or no disruption. So the important question is not whether your approach works but whether your approach complies with the standards. I believe that was the purpose behind referring you to the tutorial. If your only benchmark is it works then the tutorial is indeed irrelevant. The developer is free to code as he pleases, and the visitor is free to retreat in frustration. :) Skip Knox Boise State University Thanks Skip. I recognized that from the outset. That is, that I could have created something that worked but was not acceptable. - I'm looking to learn here. Pointing me to a tutorial, while helpful, didn't answer my question. Of course sometimes errors in coding may become self-evident if one is pointed to a tutorial, but in this instance that is not what happened. It just seemed like an alternative way to do what I've already done. It seemed more like preference, than whether or not what I had already done was acceptable or not. I thought the point of my question was clear enough. I was asking for a No, because... or Yes, because... response. Lastly, whether or not my question is more CSS or HTML based. You may be right that it is more HTML based. Regardless, I believe it is intimately connected to CSS.

Re: [css-d] Image text box
I was asking for a No, because... or Yes, because... response. Fair enough. No, because it's not a paragraph, it's an image. A reader (forget humans, just think reading mechanisms, which can include humans) when it sees a p expects to see a paragraph of content. Instead it sees an image. The proper markup for that is the img tag. If that needs a wrapper, that's what div is for (it's for any arbitrary block, as span is for any arbitrary string). So, wrenching this over in the direction of CSS, when you want to style an image and perhaps some associated text, the proper thing to style would be a div rather than a p. It'd be really sweet if HTML had a tag that would encompass not only the graphic itself but also associated content, but I've not seen any stirrings in that direction. Skip Knox Boise State University Thank you! :-) ...And of course thanks to David too. :-) __ css-discuss [cs...@lists.css-discuss.org] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
