[css-d] validating css to account for accessibilty
Hello! I've validated my code, and wanted to be tidy and validate my css, so I tried using http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/ ... and it validates, but has warnings. I understand why, but it's so confusing how all the background-colors need to be accounted for. Is there some handy-dandy easier way, than to list each and every one with a background??? I started going through each warning and trying to make sure I alleviated each, but the number of warnings just kept going up and down... it seems nonsensical. http://ggauctiongallery.com/css/main.css http://ggauctiongallery.com/css/core.css Thanks!

[css-d] Subject: Drop Caps
Check out the book: Web Standards Creativity from Friends of Ed. Rob Weychert has a little discussion/how-to on drop caps that will provide the most thorough explanation. __ css-discuss [cs...@lists.css-discuss.org] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
Re: [css-d] RE; The CSS Overlords
I have had ( and surely others have also had) clients who were so insistent the webpage (as designed by their long-time advertising company) be as static as the printed page that they furnished a JPEG image of the desired page and I was instructed that web page was to consist of that single image. There is very little to be done when the client insists. Del When the client insists, it is our responsibility to educate them on the nature of the web medium, how many visitors to their site will think they are incompetent, how expensive/time-consuming it will be to update, how inflexible it is... and generally, this sort of thing would be ironed out before the client becomes a client in the first place, via a thorough client survey, project questionnaire, and so on. As web developers, we have a responsibility to be environmentally/ quality-conscious, and not continue to litter the internet with garbage. Refer clients to Steve Krug's book, to web articles, to Jeffrey Zeldman's writings -- whatever it takes to discontinue bad work. __ css-discuss [cs...@lists.css-discuss.org] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
[css-d] Continuing IE6 support
I don't understand why it is a problem if the web development community chooses to stop supporting IE6. Users who need IE6 for certain applications, can continue to utilize IE6 for those applications, if the so desire and the application was stupidly built with such a lack of foresight. Users can use Google Chrome, Safari, or Firefox to view everything else. __ css-discuss [cs...@lists.css-discuss.org] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
[css-d] Organizing CSS for large app interface
Hey there, I have an application that I've built css files for, and I'd like to make them more organized. Does anyone have any guidelines for how to approach it?

[css-d] Lazy Parallax issue in everything but Safari
Hi there, I implemented the lazy parallax technique on a number of sites a few days ago and was so excited at the results, but then I upgraded to IE8 on my VMWare Fusion installation, and noticed that by background color and image completely disappeared. I can't seem to figure out what is causing this, but I find that this is happening in Firefox (Mac & Win), and IE (Win), while looking great in Safari. I left it in-place on my website, as it doesn't really impact the look that devastatingly: http://inkpixelspaper.com Anyone have an idea what might be causing this? I've compared my code to that at http://handcraftedcss.com (the lazy parallax effect is working there) but can't find the problem. Many thanks, in advance!

Re: [css-d] follow-up to Lazy Parallax issue
Following up from my earlier email. I found the issue. The css is touchy and requires the correct placement of the values: ... url(.jpg) repeat -80% 0; -- or it breaks and doesn't show the background color or image. It works now, as shown at http://inkpixelspaper.com or http://punkvision.com — in all the browsers/platforms. Thanks for the help from those who wrote in. I actually found the solution via this blog: http://carsonified.com/blog/design/how-to-recreate-silverbacks-parallax-effect/ Cheers!
