 Very rushed transforms with transitions, hiccup.

 Nice and snappy in Firefox, but slow as molasses in Opera.


Also slow in Chrome.

Re: [css-d] Firefox vs IE6 .. two differences .. why?

2006-12-10 Thread Guy K. Haas
Thanks!  Item 2 was my main reason for writing and you nailed it.

Item 1 came to me as I was doing a close comparison to see just how much 
the two differed.  I can live with it -- or force to standard-compliant 
mode.

 1. Why the upper row of buttons are taller in Firefox than in IE6.
 
 I believe this is the conflict between IE's box model and the
 standard's box model. See [1]
 
 2. Why the lower buttons are centered under their respective images
 in IE6, but not in Firefox.
 
 In IE6, text-align (incorrectly) aligns block elements. To get the
 same effect in compliant browsers, you need to change the 'margin' in
 'div.buttonBook p' to:
margin: 5px auto;
 The 'auto' setting for left and right margin will center the 'p'
 within the 'div'.

Re: [css-d] How do you adjust the indent on UL LI elements?

2006-07-13 Thread Guy K. Haas
One of the commenters asked Faruk that question, and here is the reply:

#21 · Faruk Ate#351; · Sep 7, 2005 (16:18)

Dean,

If you click on a default, square button, it'll invert the bevel and
move the text slightly to make it appear as if you've actually pushed
it in, pushed it deeper. Using the * selector removes that
functionality, and when you then click a button, it'll not look as if
you're pushing it in.

   *
   {
   margin: 0;
   padding: 0;
   }
 
  In other words, remove all default margins  padding from all
  elements on the page.  If you do this, you'll then have the
  responsibility for adding margins  padding back to those elements
  from which you expect it, such as Hn  P tags.  Some web developers
  find this a nuisance; I find it an agreeable and necessary part of
  deliberate styling.

 Zoe, can you be more specific about buttons no longer acting like
 buttons?

 I am using one big image for that kind of stuff:

Nice.  When you blow it up large enough, SOME of the tabs [2nd and 4th)
display a second left-end image.  Any clue about why?

And, what is the best way to create those tab images?  Not just what tool,
but how the heck do you draw/shape the curves and shading?

Re: [css-d] Why does the one graphic not show up for SOME?

2005-09-26 Thread Guy K. Haas
Gotta love Norton  Last evening, I was poking around with Google and 
turned up a few sites that explained the banner not displaying part of 
my problem.


http://www.davidseah.com/archives/2005/02/12/blocked-banners/ for 
example, points out:



Blocked Banners!
12th February 2005 15:26 EST :: Filed under Gweeping by Dave

So I’m up here in Maine, looking at my website, and noticing the blue top “David Seah” banner was missing. Not only on Firefox, but also on Internet Explorer! After some poking around, it turns out that Norton Internet Security has an advertising blocker in it that does not display any image named “banner.gif”. So for months, anyone who has been running Norton Internet Security has not see the top banner. I renamed banner.gif to topbanner.gif, and the problem has gone away. I suspect other ad blocking software does something similar. 


Now, though, I have a truly purely CSS problem I need better 
understanding about.


On http://covinahigh68.com/testingcss.htm

when the viewport is narrow enough for the words in the banner to have 
to fold to a second line, the banner is high enough to extend below the 
horses images.  If the viewport is wide enough for all the text to be on 
one line, the banner cuts the hind legs off the horses.


What do I do to make the height of the bounding box automatically be 
tall enough to include the horses' entire height and then some?


--Guy

p.s.  max- and min-width are ignored by IstupidE, so I hate to depend 
on them.

Check what screen/window-size they use. The white colt disappears into
the white background at width:1400, and reappears slightly at around
width:1546. So you need to define a max-width for that page, or a much
wider red background. Probably need a min-width also so it doesn't get
squashed.

Thanks.  I'll ask my mac informants about their widths.

In this case, though, my wife (whose laptop display is nowhere near that 
wide) could not even see THE BANNER, let alone the white colt, when 
viewing the site from its ISP.


When I put the files onto a jumpdrive and plugged it in to her laptop, 
all appears as it should.  Totally strange, but I'm still poking around 
at it.


Meanwhile, I'll set max- and min-widths.

[css-d] Why does the one graphic not show up for SOME?

2005-09-23 Thread Guy K. Haas
Thanks to Norm Loewen, Julie Angarone, and Richard Brown for taking a 
look at


   http://covinahigh68.com/testing.htm

on Macs with various browsers and reporting what they saw.

There should be a banner across the top, gradiating from white at the 
left to red at the right.  Superimposed on that gradient background, 
there should be a red colt at the left, then text in the middle, then a 
white colt at the right.  Some visitors, on some platforms, see no white 
colt.


Can anyone explain why the white colt is not visible for some?  Do I 
need a z-index or something?

[css-d] Firefox CSS/table weirdness

2005-09-18 Thread Guy K. Haas

Following the paradigm in Webcredible:
http://www.webcredible.co.uk/user-friendly-resources/css/css-round-corners.shtml
  (http://tinyurl.com/4f5c3)

I created this tab set:

file:///C:/Websites/Covina68/navtest.html

It uses an in-line ul with list-style: none, and end-of-box 
backgrounds to make the tab edges.


In IE and Opera, it works as advertised, tabs with text and no bullets.
In Firefox 1.0.6, the bullets appear.

What am I overlooking?
