Hi list,

I would like to round the corners, using css, on this site: 
http://www.ediec.org
Menu should size when one increases/decreases the font.

Examples of sites that do this (rounded corners on all corners, not just 
tabs) are much appreciated.

thanks,

On the contrary, this is a particularly nice feature when it comes to
multiple skins.  I can create completely different look and feels with only
a change to an ID, thus allowing the user to completely change the layout of
the site without my intervention.

This just feels like a cludge necessary only because of the restrictions

I'd set an ID in the body tag for each individual page and divide up your
CSS based on that.  body id="index", body id="common", etc.

Then you've got 

#index ... {
}

#common ... {

}

I do a lot of work with a product called Farcry which is a content

You could take the modular approach. Instead of creating stylesheets 
for individual pages, you could, for example have

* common.css
* web.css
* intranet.css

Having individual style files for individual pages seems worse than 
embedding styles in the head of a document. It seems to me you've 
got all the disadvantages plus extra calls to the server.

Try to set a z-index on #header. I can't test it now, but it'll
probably work. More on z-index an IE here:

[css-d] menu troubles

2007-04-13 Thread Jake Churchill
I have a problem that I've run into before and my company had to outsource
it to a CSS Guru (Sandra Clark).  While I truly appreciated her help the
last time, I want to work through this myself.  

 

I have a page with a navigation menu across the top with a single level
dropdown and a sub-nav menu on the left sidebar.  My problem (IE only) is
that the dropdown from the main navigation menu appears under the side
navigation menu.  In firefox it works correctly.  This project is very
time-sensitive so I'm trying to work through this as quickly as possible.

The page url is
http://cfas2.cfwebtools.com/index.cfm?objectid=E6D20202-9027-F64A-799622C32F
C8C158.  

 

I'm fairly decent with CSS but when it comes to more advanced issues like
this I'm still a noob.  Can anyone help me out?

 

Thanks!

 

PS.  I didn't post any code because there's a lot of it.  If you need any of
it, please let me know and I'll supply it.

Did you try display:block?  That along with a position:relative and a

[css-d] height issue

2007-02-13 Thread Jake Churchill
I have an issue that comes up a lot that I have never found a good fix 
for.  A lot of the sites I support have a standard 2 column display.  
The left column is the navigation and the right is the content.  There 
is a wrapper around the entire thing and a footer at the bottom.  The 
issue that I see is that let's say the navigation area is 700 px high 
and the content area is 1000px high.  It works great.  However, if the 
navigation is 700px and the content is only 500px, the footer comes up 
too far and the navigation area overlaps at the bottom.  I don't have an 
example of this right now, I just want ideas.  Like I said, there is 
always a wrapper around the whole thing so why does the footer (outside 
of the wrapper) get displayed under the navigation if there is a wrapper?

In other words, how do I make the wrapper assume the height of either of 
the child elements to ensure that the height is always correct?

I hope I'm making sense.  I know what I want to say, it's just not 
coming out really well right now.  Thanks in advance for any suggestions 
anyone might have.

[css-d] width problem with extremely long string

2007-02-07 Thread Jake Churchill
We have a tracking system for clients with the width of the content area 
set to 1125px.  A client pasted some debugging code into the editor and 
included in there was the http_referer variable which contained the 
string that I pasted below. 

https://www.neirelo.com/members/reports/Client_cost_detail_Display_new.cfm?tjob_desc=&REPTYPE=All&to_dept=&tlevel_desc=&file_status=&prior_status=&tResponse_desc=&FROM_DATE=%7Bd%20%272006%2D10%2D01%27%7D&stype_desc=&job_user1=&tdept_desc=&to_level=&program_type=&to_location=&to_area=&to_response=&TO_DATE=%7Bd%20%272006%2D12%2D31%27%7D&tloc_desc=&to_job=&cur_prop_status=&move_reason=&job_user2=&tarea_desc=&last_name=&Policy_desc=&SERVICES=0&first_name=&web_name=&emp_id=&UID=232&New_state=&Policy_nbr=&new_status=&ccode=&TBUS_UNIT_DESC=&hr_contact=&intl=0&sort=policy_nbr

So, instead of a visually appealing 1125px, I now have an annoying 
4003px.  Is there a way in CSS to force the string to get cut off or 
scroll to see the rest so my content area isn't messed up?  I'd prefer 
no solutions that have to do with absolutely positioning this element 
because I already tried that and it really messed up the display.

Thanks in advance.

Re: [css-d] a:visited - font-size

2007-01-15 Thread Jake Churchill
Personally I like sites that change the weight and style of visited 
links.  For example, if all links are bold, then make visited links 
normal.  If all links are normal, make visited links italic.  Something 
like that.  I don't generally like a bunch of different sizes of text.  
I think it makes it difficult to read.

[css-d] CSS & IE6 butting heads

2007-01-15 Thread Jake Churchill
I need some help with a CSS menu that I'm writing.  It is a simple 2 
level menu, level 1 is a horizontal list, level 2 is a dropdown list.  I 
have this working in all browsers, but I ran into a hitch with IE6.  The 
site is http://cfwt.cfwebtools.com

The active 1st level menu item will have class active and any anchor 
with a sub menu will have class drop.  2nd level menus have class 
msubnav.  When I have a menu item with class active and an anchor with 
class drop, the sub menu does not display.

I've validated my HTML and CSS through W3C's validators and everything 
is clean.  I just can't figure this out for some reason.  I copied the 
code below.  Let me anticipate and answer one question up front.  The 
object tags inside the anchor tags are there because the validator said 
a ul tag cannot be embedded in an anchor tag so the HTML wouldn't 
validate without it.  And I couldn't validate the CSS before the HTML 
was first validated.  It didn't change how any of it worked.  I've since 
removed the object tags and as I said, nothing changed.

If anyone has time, please have a look at this and give me some 
suggestions.  I've been stuck for 2 days now on this same issue.

Here's the HTML code for the menu:
