Re: [css-d] [ADMIN] Hello, my friends, hello
Hi Eric, I'am a member of the list for already quite some years. And i hope the list will continue as is. I always got great help from the other subscribers. As others also have written, the list is a great place to turn to if you have a problem you can't figure out yourself. And indeed in other places it is often hard to get real help. On css-d i always get help/guidance to come to a solution, and also explanation to the matter. So the list is very much appreciated by me. And even if there are not a lot of subscribers, the list is still very valuable by the people who get help here. Thank you, Erik Visser Op 23-12-15 om 21:35 schreef Eric A. Meyer: Hi, everyone, So apparently the list software died back in October, and none of us really noticed until this month. Or, if people noticed, nobody mentioned it until this month. It took a while to get in touch with someone who could get the software restarted, but I'm told it's back up. If you're reading this, then yes, it's back up. This hiatus and its lack of observance has led me to wonder about the utility of css-discuss, and whether it needs to continue. There are a lot of other venues for discussing CSS these days, and most of the reason for this list existing-- to help people figure out how CSS worked, and fix problems-- is covered much more compellingly by sites like StackOverflow. The resources that used to support css-d, like the public archive and the wiki, have fallen into disuse or disrepair over the years. In general, there's a faded feeling here, at least for me. Thus, I'm now pondering three courses of action: 1. Shut down the list. To all good things, etc. This obviously abandons those who still prize having a mailing list, but that number seems very small. Almost all the discussion in the months leading up to the hiatus was conducted between a small number of subscribers. Of course, a new list could be started by someone else. 2. Hand the list off to someone else, to guide as they see fit. This involves the very difficult task of finding someone who's interested, and making a good choice. This is the least appealing of the three, honestly, because of the possibility of getting things wrong. 3. Convert the list from "Practical discussions of CSS and its use" to more general discussion about anything CSS-related. That would include theoretical musings, discussion of what CSS should or shouldn't be, where it should go in the future, the general theory of CSS, and so on. I'm less inclined to go this route, as there are other places to grapple with the deeper issues of CSS (like www-style, not to mention blogs and social media). At this point, perhaps due to pride and ego but perhaps simply due to feeling that the time has come, I'm leaning toward option 1. January 24, 2016, will be the 14th anniversary of the list. That leaves a month to either settle on a different course of action, or else to plan a shutdown. If anyone has strong feelings that it should be one of the other two options, or a fourth option I didn't list, feel free to let me know off-list. I may not be able to respond to every message, but I will read them all. I expect to make a final decision on or before January 10, 2016. Whatever I decide, I'll announce it here. -- Eric A.

[css-d] styling a menu button using pseudo elements
Hi all, I've implemented a menu for smaller screens ( 584px and smaller ): Works quite well. (any comments welcome) But Only thing is that i can't get the menu button looking the same on Android (4.2.2). and my browsers (safari/firefox/chrome) on mac os x. That is, using the same css, the white lines inside the menu button do not center very nice on both devices. This styling looks good on android: .dl-menuwrapper button:after { content: ''; position: absolute; width: 68%; height: 6px; /* background: #fff; */ top: 10px; left: 16%; border-top: 1.250em double #fff; border-bottom: .375em solid #fff; -webkit-box-sizing: content-box; -moz-box-sizing: content-box; box-sizing: content-box; } And this styling looks good on safari/firefox/chrome (mac os x): .dl-menuwrapper button:after { content: ''; position: absolute; width: 68%; height: 6px; /* background: #fff; */ top: 10px; left: 16%; border-top: 1.375em double #fff; border-bottom: .5em solid #fff; -webkit-box-sizing: content-box; -moz-box-sizing: content-box; box-sizing: content-box; } The difference is in the border settings. css: http://beta.utrechtsyogacentrum.nl/style/responsivemenu/component.css page: http://beta.utrechtsyogacentrum.nl/index.php On other websites i see that it is possible to get the menu button looking the same both on android and desktop browsers. I am staring to long at this code (and testing different markup and css). So i'am very curious how i can get them to look the same. All comments are welcome.

Georg schreef op 21-05-15 om 17:46: You do not have to make your page responsive on wide screens, in order to make it fit narrow screens. I suggest you manipulate the original design through a series of mediaqueries, to make it work on narrower screens. That is: a mobile last approach that may be easier to implement in cases like yours. That's also an approach to take into account. Nice name Mobile Last :-) Thanks Georg, also for the css. Thanks all for the comments. Indeed i know that on small screens things overlap. That's the challenge for the next step. What do you think about the current main structure of the site. Is suitable for making it mobile? The current main structure is 3 columns (percentage based) in a wrapper. Completed with a header and footer.

All these issues depend on and/or are related to actual viewport-size of the screen that is used. Since i don't have the overview of these issues that should be taken care of, I thought it might be handy (more practical) to take a ready to use base/template which already addresses all these issues, and learn about these issues from there.

This must have been done already so often that there might be some good roadmaps and maybe light-weight frameworks/templates including the most nescessary elements to achieve a responsive website. But i'am also glad if you have some good articles or a series of articles that breaks down the task of building a responsive website into a series of issues that need to be taken care of.

So i like some advice from the masters who already converted or designed some website for multiple devices / screensizes. Is there a good step by step guide somewhere? All information and ideas are welcome. Thanks, Erik PS found the google guide already, but i question if this is the best way to go.

But pages with small photos at the bottom of the left column still have a long page. And i think i also found what is causing the long page. The small photos in the left column are kept together in a div: div class=foto_colleft vertcalalign To keep the photos at the bottom of the page, the class .verticalalign has this css (file style.css): .verticalalign { position: absolute; bottom: 0px; } When i remove position absolute. Then the page get its normal length. But then the photos are not at the bottom of the page anymore. So one solution might be to apply another method for keeping the div with small photos at the bottom of the page. Anybody any idea for an alternative method? Or is there some other solution to avoud the long pages in Opera?.

[css-d] columns shifting after logo margin change
My questions is about the logo on this site: http://beta.daploosdrechtseweg.nl logo css, in makeup.css: img#logo { margin-top:-7px; } Everything is ok here in FF3 and IE7 My question is: how can i lower the logo (so it sits on the black bottom border of the div#masthead) in a simple way. This is what i tried: I added in makeup.css: img#logo { margin-top:7px; } Resulting in: http://beta.daploosdrechtseweg.nl/new/index.php Looks ok in IE7. But in FF3 the columns shift to the left. To correct this shift i added a negative margin to the left column. In makeup.css: #leftColumn { margin-left:-286px; } Resulting in: http://beta.daploosdrechtseweg.nl/new2/index.php Now it lloks ok in FF3. But (as could be expected) in IE7 the column shifts and becomes invisible. I tried more corrections to get it to look ok in both FF3 and IE7. But before i add correction after correction. I thought: lets ask the list. This because i think there must be a quite simple solution in the first place. So it looks correct i most major browsers (IE6, IE7, FF2, FF3, Safari, Opera, ..) But i am afraid i miss it completely. So my question is: how can i lower the logo (so it sits on the black bottom border of the div#masthead) in a simple way. About the css.

Thanks, Erik Visser She did well on my end (xp) in ie/7., opera/9.1, and ff (version whatever it is). In ie/6.0 at /text-size largest/, the vertical logo disappears and there is no horizontal scroll-bar with which to retrieve it. See screen shot: http://chelseacreekstudio.com/ca/cssd/ev.gif. i will loook into that one. any idea on why the scrolllbar doesn't appear? (or maybe better: why the left side is chopped off?) However, with both of your sites (and this is a personal opinion that is not shared by all on this or any other list), I find sites that require both horizontal and vertical scrolling when the fonts are scaled to be bothersome. Ok, vertical scrolling is hard to avoid. That is, when the amount of content rises. With all designs there comes a point where you can't keep the content in the browser window. Isn't it? Then the horizontal scrolling. While keeping the same design, this horizontal scrollbar can only be avoided by not using a min-width. Isn't it? Then it comes up to the design how it keeps up without min-width.

Not just font size but window size. I think every relatively interesting design will have its limits as to how small the window can go before the design breaks up. Personally I aim to make sure anything I do works on 800x600, but for everyone this will vary. Erik, the site you highlighted will go down to about 850px (in Firefox 2) before the first link in the navigation bar starts to go off the side of the window. I don't think that anything in the design requires a window this wide. Everyone's needs vary, but 850px width for such a simple design worries me personally. I agree with you Daniel. In this case it was the client that came up with the basic design. And initially it had even more white space. My client said he likes space and designs with lots of room. I don't know if i can translate this in understandable English, but he said: I want to create a certain image. And create a certain athmosphere. And thus i told him that in most cases (if not an art work) the primary goal of a website is to provide information to the visitor. And preferable in way so that the visitor can take that info as easy as possible. And that scrolling is very irritating to a lot of people. So at first i made a small version of his design. But he did not like it. It was not breathing the right athmosphere he said. So i expanded the design again until he was satisfied. What can you do if a customer insists?

The same as David noted, in IE6 on xp on my machine, the left side logo starts to disappear at text-size 'large'. At text-size 'largest', the logo is gone and much of the information (on the home page, at least) also falls off the left side and, again as David said, is irretrievable. Screenshot on ie6 at text largest: http://first-encounter-design.dreamhosters.com/imgs/24-10.jpg I primarily develop with firefox on linux and mac. So i have to dig into that one. And i guess it is something that should be taken care of, isn't it? (to be honest, I thought IE 6 wasn't able to zoom so i never tested for it stupid eh?) I'd also like to echo what Daniel said about window size. I'm not as averse to a horizontal scrollbar as David is but I sometimes think they're an inconvenience that I can minimize with a little foresight. When designing a site that can be scaled, I design so I won't get a horizontal scrollbar at about 800px wide at medium text in IE David already mentioned the same; thus 800px is a generally accepted rule (of the thumb?) for width without scrolling? and then, if possible, try to not have critical content, i.e., navigation, primary text, fall off if the text is zoomed to large. That's one of the reasons the home disappeared from the menu bar. One other comment I have about your site: I know it's a convention, but it took me a bit to realize that the way back to the home page was through the link on the logo. A home navigation button would have helped. And there quite a couple of places with the link: - terug naar reading Utrecht - Which is the same as home but then i a sentence of the Dutch language.

Only that I personally found it hard to keep track of what was targeting which browser where and in what order. We all have our preferences when it comes to how stylesheets are organized. ok, i get it what i basicly did was: 1. take one true layout [1] as base layout this provided 1 css file: style.css all positional css additions are added to style.css 2. for the menu i added Ruthsarian Menus [2] to the layout this provided a second .css file: menu.css which contains everything related to the menu 3. then for visual presentation css i added the makeup.css 4. for ie only css: ie.css So my approach is: take an existing webstandards compliant css layout that have proofed itself (till some extend) and take out or add code blocks and css (like the ruthsarian menu) to this base layout. Why did i choose this approach? Since - i have really limited time - and i'am not that quick at learning it all by myself I decided i better use a good base prooven css layout and from there: - make websites - read a list like this one - read some books - look at tutorials - etc. This might be a slow road for really mastering webdevelopment (xhtml / css / etc.). But it makes it possible (in the time available to me) to better myself while developing websites for customers. Any thoughts from the gurus on this appproach?

[css-d] text and image zoom
I made a mock up (i thik this means: rough setup. correct?) for a site i am developing: http://beta.erikvisser.net/24-10/index.shtml http://beta.erikvisser.net/24-10/css/style.css http://beta.erikvisser.net/24-10/css/makeup.css I want the vertical text (actually an image): 24-10 READING to stay in place when the visitor does a text zoom (in or out). In other words the N in READING sits just on top of the border-bottom of #header (grey background). And it should stay there when the text zoom is used. I used em for image size and for the heigth of #header. What am i doing wrong? Or is this just not possible? Any tips?

[css-d] 2 columns with borders plus a footer that sticks to the bottom of the viewport
What i'am trying to achieve is: - a 2 columns layout with vertical borders where the 2 columns stretch to the bottom of the viewport (even when both columns only have one or 2 lines of text) - combined with a footer that sticks to the bottom of the viewport i started almost a half year ago and i thought this wouldn't be too difficult, but it turned out to be not that easy at all, t.i. if you want it to work accross browsers due to circumstances, i had to stop my attempts a couple of months ago this is how far i came then: http://beta.erikvisser.net/bart/old/ (css doesn't validate because of an ie hack: word-wrap) i understood that this mockup is unstable so i try to resolve this problem i found this: http://limpid.nl/lab/css/fixed/footer and combined it with this: http://www.fu2k.org/alex/css/onetruelayout/example/interactive?order=2-1width=50-49.5equal_height=1 Resulting in getting almost what i want: http://beta.erikvisser.net/bart/new/1/ The only thing it does not yet do is: both columns stretching down to the bottom of the viewport even if they each only have a few lines of text you can see this the best when you zoom-out quite a bit before fixing this short coming i like your opinions My questions are: - is new this a better approach compared with the original approach as shown on http://beta.erikvisser.net/bart/old/ - or is there a better aproach? - any remarks are welcome - and how can i let both columns stretch to the bottom of the viewport, even when both contain hardly any text? thanks, Erik __ 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/

But I need the columns to stretch down. And they do not. Maybe i'am overlooking something? Any help is appreciated.

That tendency to crash will be solved if the correct wrapper get a 'hasLayout' trigger. That will also make the lost column visible. I figured that out the last time that design was around, but I didn't spend time on finding the correct element for that trigger, because the layout looked a mess, with even messier css, back then. Well it is far better now. The index.html on http://www.bartbleijerveld.nl/ there's almost nothing in it. The link to article on 'Layout' was posted then, along with what's explained above. yes, i read that, but i don't know how to know which element needs layout. An it has lots and lots of info. It gets me dazzling. How do I know / examine which element to give layout? As /you/ know, adding 'hasLayout' triggers may have pretty nasty side-effects if not done properly and selectively. Not something we should do to a weak layout. Hopefully the layout/css is better now - don't have time to check. i tried all kinds of additions tio the stylesheet based on the article, but no luck yet. Columns get shorter but no visible content.
