[css-d] three numbers
Using three values to set four margins is a little confusing. IMO its appropriateness depends on who's going to be working with your code. If you might be replaced by a lower-level web developer, you might want to spend several more characters to make your meaning obvious. Legal and valid only means we get to discuss it for a dozen posts. :-) CC On 10/5/07, Ian Young [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: To: css-d@lists.css-discuss.org Subject: Re: [css-d] three numbers According to the specifications, giving three values for margin: is perfectly legal and valid. The sequence of messages here illustrate pretty well, that it's a poor idea! How so? It is a recognised and neat way writing margin and padding rules. If it is recommended by the standards folks (link earlier on) who are we to argue?

Re: [css-d] i.e. 6 looks right 7 and firefox incorrect
That's odd. I haven't delved deep enough into the positioning to know why, but your login div seems to be overtop your nav column. If you change #nav to display: hidden, of course it disappears and you're left with a red navigation column. Furthermore, when I look at the navigation column in Firefox, I see the Membership button as half light blue and half medium-blue. I think the light blue is coming from the top of the login div. So see if you can fix the positioning issues (or do this all differently). But your coloring was working properly. All that said -- I rather like the nav column better in blue than red. The red seems very disruptive and blaring against the blues. If there must be red, perhaps red highlights would work better?

[css-d] Normal bulleted lists... with smaller bullets
There's at least one thing I don't know how to do well with bulleted lists. I would like to make normal unordered (bulleted) lists using smaller bullets. I'd really like the smaller bullets to increase in size when you increase the text size -- just like the default bullets, only smaller. I'd love to make the bullet the same size as the bull; character (yes, it's smaller than UL bullets, I don't know why!) Compare: ul lione/li litwo/li lithree/li /ul with bull; one bull; two bull; three I want to get bullets the size of the second example, but using a real bulleted list. The only method I know is to set all unordered lists to use images for bullets, and use an image of a smaller bullet. But that image won't increase in size when the reader increases their browser's font size. Help, anyone? -- -- CC --- __ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7 information -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
Re: [css-d] Normal bulleted lists... with smaller bullets
Yes, this was Jennifer Ham's solution, too.
It looks like a working solution. Good, except for the extra span
tags. Since I'm working in a collective environment, I think asking
for extra span tags might not be workable; on the other hand, that
might be the solution to take.
One note for both you and Jennifer: I haven't tested it extensively
yet, but so far it looks like you have to increase the font size. For
example:
ul {font-size: 0.5em;}
li span {font-size: 1em;}
makes everything half size; 1 em for the li is now half of the default em. Ummm.
So instead set
ul {font-size: 0.5em;}
li span {font-size: 2em;}
and now we've returned the list text to its normal size.
Maybe putting list items in spans *would* be workable; its definitely
still better than the old HMTL currently in place.
thanks!
if anyone has better solutions, please don't hesitate to propose them!

Re: [css-d] Is a forum a tabular data?
In my option, it's up to your definition. You've done a good job of defining a forum as a table (and as a list), so maybe you should decide based on issues of usability and practicality, instead. Will you have blind users with screen readers, who'll have an awful time reading through a table? Is it practical, time-wise, for you to code this as a list? I think that some plain-jane web sites could be rationalized as tables: navigation elements in one column, important content in the middle column, and links on the right. Rows, if more than one, indicate degrees of importance. Of course, no one ever puts row and column headers on a site's table... One question: is this forum served out by a database? In that case, you could easily serve it out in multiple page templates, depending on usage and the reader's requirements. that's my 2 cents, depreciated every day. --CC On 12/27/06, Blake [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi all, I'm going to be creating the front-end for a forum, and I was wondering if people had opinions on whether a forum was tabular data, or a list. The way it is planned, we will have a THREAD TITLE, STARTED BY, REPLIES, and LAST POST heading, and then we will have the obvious bits of data underneath. Personally, I think a table is the semantically correct way to do this, because I think any other method loses the association with the headings and the data. However, I can also see the argument for a list, because it is a list of threads. I think it is not a good way to create it, though, because as soon as you lose CSS these lists mean nothing... Perhaps I'm missing an elegant solution, so if you guys have any ideas, or opinions on whether or not it is tabular data I'd like to hear them.

Re: [css-d] top banner image and link

I want it to say: Rated #1 and then go to the Awards page. Setting the div to float right didn't work. Can anybody give me a clue? Thanks, Mary Hello, You need to do two things: 1) Most importantly, use the same case for topright in both the web page and the style sheet. (you used all lower-case in the page, and a capital R in the style sheet). Once I changed this to all lower case topright, the text floated just fine. As usual, it's the typo that's the killer. 2) Also important to you: move the topright div to above the banner, and within the top div. When the topright div floats to the right, it will move to the right of whatever's beneath it in the code. So you want it to be above the banner, and inside those horizontal lines. hth, -- CC --- __ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7b2 testing hub -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
