[css-d] NiceForms CSS Issues in FF / Chrome / IE8, but not IE7

2010-03-05 Thread Jeff Chastain
I am using the NiceForms JavaScript library to style the form fields on a
basic contact form.  All of the form fields are working correctly except for
the textarea field.  I have done this in the past and had it work, but in
this case I have run into a wall.

 

In IE7 and IE8 Compatibility mode, everything works fine.  In FireFox,
Chrome, or IE8, the placement of the corner images is incorrect.  I am using
the latest version of the script, which according to the web site should
support most major browsers.

 

Can somebody take a look and see if you can find anything off in my CSS
because I know I have had this working on other sites.

Thanks

[css-d] 100% body height not expanding beyond viewport

2009-07-17 Thread Jeff Chastain
This is probably basic, but it has me stumped at the moment.  I have a
design where the body background is a single color and then there is a
wrapper around the content which is centered on the page.  The background of
that wrapper is white and is supposed to extend the full height of the page
- even if the content itself does not.  So, my CSS looks like this .

 

html, body {

height: 100%;

background: #d0dce7;

}

#bodyWrap {

position: relative;

width: 90%;
margin: 0 auto;

max-width: 1276px;

min-width: 796px;

min-height: 100%;

}

* html #bodyWrap {

height: 100%;

background: #ff;

}

 

Now, when the context does not extend the full height of the viewport, this
works just fine.  The bodyWrap div extends the full height of the view
port and there is this nice white column going the full height of the page
with blue side bars.  The issue is when the content extends beyond the
height of the viewport.  Then, the bodyWrap div extends with the content
like it should.  However, the body element, or at least the background color
does not extend - it stops at the height of the view port.

 

Can somebody help me out with what I am missing here?

 

Thanks

-- Jeff

[css-d] IE issue with positioning

2009-01-19 Thread Jeff Chastain
I am having some issues with IE getting a layout design to work and I would
like to see if anybody can offer any pointers before this drives me nuts.
The issue I am running into is that I have a box which has a fluid width
(90% of the page).  Within that box, I am attempting to absolutely place
another box at the very top, but with a 14px margin on both the left and
right side.  The following CSS rules work just fine in FireFox 

 

   #container {

  position: relative;

  margin: 0 auto;

  width: 80%;

 

   #header {

  position: absolute;

  top: 0;

  left: 14px;

  right: 14px;

   }

 

In IE however, the header box is positioned right, but it does not expand
the full width of its container.  Instead it has an extra wide margin on the
right side.  I think this could probably be fixed with a box model hack, but
I cannot figure out the right combination of rules to make IE behave.

 

Any ideas would be appreciated.

 

Thanks

-- Jeff

Well, IE 6 is at it again for me.  I have a layout from a client that is
pixel tight and while I have it working in IE 7 and FireFox, IE 6 is causing
issues.  I have broken it down to the most basic issue which is one block
being floated to the left and the main column having a left margin equal to
the floated block width plus one, which should cause there to be a 1px gap
between the two.  The following code works just fine in IE 7 and FireFox,
but in IE 6, the gap is 3+ pixels wide which is causing the layout to fall
apart.  Can anybody offer any suggestions here?

style type=text/css
#block1 {
float: left;
height: 175px;
width: 179px;
}
#block2 {
height: 175px;
margin-left: 180px;

div id=block1 style=background-color: #00c;Block 1/div

Re: [css-d] IE 6 Float Issue

2007-04-13 Thread Jeff Chastain
Well, what I have ended up doing is floating everything left.  The example
here is part of the page that is just 2 columns (the header), but below that
is a three column layout.  If I float everything left, giving all blocks a
defined width, everything appears to work.  As this is a fixed width layout,
I can go with defining widths for each block.  Not the cleanest thing in the
world, but it appears to be working.

[css-d] IE Problem

2006-08-26 Thread Jeff Chastain
I am not sure how to better describe this as I really cannot figure out what
is going on.  I have a problem where a block of content is simply
disappearing in IE, but displays just fine in Firefox.
 
The site is http://www.kcoutlet.com.  The home page is split into 2 columns
and the title bar of the top box in the left column is simply disappearing.
If I change the order of the boxes, the title bar of whichever box is on top
will disappear.  I am using the NiftyCorners script to round the boxes, but
removing it has not effect.
 
Any ideas - this is really baffling me?

Re: [css-d] Remove inherited background image?

2006-04-28 Thread Jeff Chastain

Okay, here it is ... http://www.admentus.com/temp/index.htm

Basically what this is is a Suckerfish 3-level drop down menu that is being
styled to look like the Windows Silver Luna theme in Outlook.  The
multi-level styling/inheritance on this is driving me nuts and there are
several issues I still dealing with.

In both FireFox and IE, when you move from a second tier link to a third
tier link (Tools - Account Manager - Community Profile), the yellow
background on the second tier link disappears where it should remain, so
apparently one of my background clearing attempts is working a little too
well.

Then in IE, there are two issues.  When you mouseover a link that does not
have an icon (Site - Crescent Beach Villas), then you get the background
image of the first tier link, not the solid yellow background color that you
should get.  There is also a one pixel margin/border bug that is causing a
bit of flicker in IE that does not appear in FireFox.

Primarily this application will be used by IE 6 and FireFox, but if anybody
can see any problems in other browsers or offer any quick easy solutions, I
would be glad to hear it.

Thanks.

IE is processing the sublevel rule, it just does not clear the background
image that is inherited.  I have tried both background: none; and
background-image: none;.  The transparent image has been suggested and while
it sounds awful, that may be the only solution.

If no better solution is coming, maybe you can set it to

Or does IE not react at all in the sublevel-backgrounds?

[css-d] Suckerfish Drop Down and Fixed Height Container

I have the suckerfish drop down menu implemented inside of a div block which

downs to display outside of the containing box?  I have setup the z-index on
the containing box to be higher than the z-index of the div box below it and
I have set the z-index of the ul lists to be higher than the containing box
and nothing has any effect.

[css-d] Nested floats and clearing?

2006-04-15 Thread Jeff Chastain
I have run into this several times before, but today I cannot find a
work-around.  So, what is the correct behavior or proper way to clear a
float that is nested inside of another float without clearing the parent
float as well?  Example time ...
 
div id=left
some content here 
/div
div id=right
img src=xyz.gif class=alignLeft /
some content here ...
br class=clear /
some content here ...
/div
 
--
 
.left { width: 49%; float: left; }
.right { width: 49%; margin-left: 50%; }
.alignLeft { float: left; }
.clear { clear: both; }
 
--
 
The problem here is that when the clear is used inside of the right column,
it does not just clear the right column, it clears the entire page - messing
up the two column layout.  So, when you have a float nested within another
float, how do you clear just the inner float?  The code I am working on
right now has objects floated both left and right in the right column, so I
have to use a clear: both which wipes out the layout.  Any suggestions?
 
Thanks

that said the same thing ... float all or float none.  That is not a
detractor to CSS or anything 

Thanks.

Jeff Chastain wrote:
 I have run into this several times before, but today I cannot find a 
 work-around.  So, what is the correct behavior or proper way to 
 clear a float that is nested inside of another float without clearing 
 the parent float as well?  Example time ...

 div id=left
some content here 
 /div
 div id=right
img src=xyz.gif class=alignLeft /
some content here ...
br class=clear /
some content here ...
 /div

 .left { width: 49%; float: left; }
 .right { width: 49%; margin-left: 50%; } .alignLeft { float: left; } 
 .clear { clear: both; }

 The problem here is that when the clear is used inside of the right 
 column, it does not just clear the right column, it clears the entire 
 page - messing up the two column layout.
 So, when you have a float nested within another float, how do you 
 clear just the inner float?

That's not what you are having. Your br float isn't inside another float.
div#right isn't floated. If it were floated, the nested float would not
clear the left column.

 The code I am working on
 right now has objects floated both left and right in the right column, 
 so I have to use a clear: both which wipes out the layout.  Any 
 suggestions?

Yup, float the right column, or don't clear the nested floats.

[css-d] Table Styling

2005-09-25 Thread Jeff Chastain
I have a table that is being provided to me - i.e. I cannot modify the table
structure, classes, or id names (or lack thereof).  The table looks
something like this ...
 
table ... class=tabTable
.
tr
td class=tabFootCelltotals/td
td class=tabFootCellnbsp;/td
td class=tabFootCell24,655/td
td class=tabFootCell16,503/td
td class=tabFootCell226,232/td
/tr
tr
td class=tabFootCellaverages/td
td class=tabFootCellnbsp;/td
td class=tabFootCell2,4,66/td
td class=tabFootCell1,650/td
td class=tabFootCell22,623/td
/tr
/table
 
What I would like to do is simply set the text alignment where the first
cell is left justified and the last three cells are right justified.  Is
there a way to reference these table cells differently without a specific id
tag on them?
 
Thanks

RE: [css-d] Table Styling

2005-09-25 Thread Jeff Chastain

The problem I have here is that I have absolutely no control over the HTML
markup.  In the code in my original post, the table itself has a class and
each of the cells has the exact same class.  I am trying to style the first
cell differently from the other cells, only using CSS as I cannot change the
HTML markup.

So, only using CSS, is there a possible cross-browser solution to style the
first table cell differently from the others without have a unique ID or
class on it?

Thanks
-- Jeff

There are a lot of tables there that do the styling you want... first TD is
aligned one way and the rest of the TD's are styled another. It's a gallery
of CSS used with tables. A great resource.

[css-d] Weird inheritance issue?

2005-09-21 Thread Jeff Chastain
This one has be stumped, so if somebody could point out the obvious for me, I 
would appreciate it.  I have a set of nested div blocks as shown below.

div id=container
 div class=crWrapper
  div class=photoBlock
   div class=crWrapper ... /div
  /div
  div class=photoBlock
   div class=crWrapper ... /div
  /div
 /div
/div

Now, in my style sheet, I have styles declared for the crWrapper div using 
descendent selectors as follows ...

 #container .crWrapper { border: 1px solid #f00; }

Doing this, all three div blocks with class 'crWrapper' have a red border.  
Now, I want to change the border of the inner 2 blocks.  I should be able to 
add a new line giving me the following in my style sheet, right?

 #container .crWrapper { border: 1px solid #f00; }
 .photoBlock .crWrapper { border: 1px solid #00f; }

When I do this, all three blocks still have a red border.  The weird thing is 
that if I change the 'class=photoBlock' to 'id=photoBlock' and update the 
styles accordingly, I have red and blue blocks.  Why does this not work for a 
class, but will work for an id (which I can't use as there are multiple 
'photoBlock's)?

Thanks
-- Jeff

2005-09-21 Thread Jeff Chastain
Well, you learn something new every day.  I knew an id had preference over a 
class, I just assumed since I specified the class which was nested inside, that 
I would be good.  Makes the style sheet a bit uglier, but that works.

Thanks

IIRC, ID has higher specifity than class. So it rules. Did you try:

#container .photoBlock .crWrapper { border: 1px solid #00f; }

[css-d] Float clearing problem

2005-08-20 Thread Jeff Chastain

I am working on a new layout for an application.  The layout is a 2 column 
layout ... the left column is a 210px column floated left and the right column 
has a 210px left margin.  The right column ( div id=mainPanel ) displays 
correctly ... i.e. at up against the header to the right side of the left 
panel.  The problem I am running into is that the content of the right column 
drops down below the content of the left column even though the column itself 
is placed correctly.   I have tried a variety of clearing options, but nothing 
seems to work.

 This is probably something basic, but I am not seeing it tonight.  Can anybody 
see what is wrong?

[css-d] Insert line break using css?

2005-07-06 Thread Jeff Chastain
I have a set of HTML markup that consists of 4 span tags in a row ...
 
span id=span1span 1/span
span id=span2span 2/span
span id=span3span 3/span
span id=span4span 4/span
 
In one layout, I need the four tags to be on a single line next to each
other.  In the second layout (different stylesheet), I need the 4th tag to
drop down and be on its own line.  Is this possible to do using css only
without changing the markup?  I have tried a couple of things without luck,
so I am looking for suggestions.
 
Thanks

You should be able to do this like the following:

#span4 {
   display: block;
}
