 I have a problem with a practice site I put up at: www.mypracticesite.com.
 There seems to be a problem in the css for the subpages rendering properly

I believe you have one too many /div tags immediately before the 
element div id=innerRight. Remove one and it seems to work ok.

 Anyone have any idea why the photo gallery on this page won't show in
 IE6? CSS for the gallery is internal on the page.
 
 http://www.silverspotink.com/portfolio.html

There's a problem with the HTML markup that's breaking the page. Every 
link with rel=lightbox that wraps around the images has a rouge quote:

a href=images/Portfolio/dj-dm4.jpg  rel=lightbox 

just remove the quotes:

a href=images/Portfolio/dj-dm4.jpg  rel=lightbox

and the page will be fixed.

Re: [css-d] Specificity

 Hi, apologies for another post but I think a simpler example below is what is 
 needed.
 I have obviously failed to understand a crucial aspect of CSS which deems 
 that the table row style declaration does not overwrite the previous style 
 for a specific cell within that row. Please enlighten me!

Hey Chris,

Specificity only comes into play when assigning more than one rule to 
the same element.

In your example, you assigned a colour to a tr and a different colour to 
a td. No matter how specific you make the tr rule, even if you use 
!important, it won't be inherited by #one because #one has it's own 
declaration.

If, on the other hand, you were doing the following:

table #one {background: purple;}
#one {background: blue;}

you'll find that #one is purple, because the first rule is more specific.

Hope this helps,

Re: [css-d] mir help

2006-11-17 Thread Jesse Skinner
 Ok, to the problem...no matter what I do it seems like the t in 
 Development always appears
 on top of the graphic. Opera, Netscape, and Firefox is fine, it's only 
 an IE issue.  Any suggetions?

I was just talking about image replacement the other day, and someone
left a comment on my blog suggesting the following technique (which is
totally great and works perfectly):

h1 {
 background: url(i/branding_h1.jpg) no-repeat;
 width: 650px;
 height: 0;
 padding-top: 180px;
 overflow: hidden;
}

Try that out, it should work wonderfully.

All the best,

Re: [css-d] Including List Bullets Inside Links

2006-03-20 Thread Jesse Skinner
 I can do this and include the image bullet in my CSS:

 a href=1xox.htmliLink Text 1 Here/li/a
 a href=2xox.htmliLink Text 2 Here/li/a

 ...which I'm 100% sure *ain't* legal, but does work.

 Other suggestions?

Try something like this (adjusting to fit the width of the bullet image):

li a { position: relative; left: -20px; padding-left: 20px; }

Cheers,

Re: [css-d] Flash or No Flash switch?

2005-12-15 Thread Jesse Skinner
 25kB is a small smaple to test it responsibly. Some latency may distort 
 the measurment. The image can also get cached.

In the article, I suggest avoiding caching by appending a random URL 
parameter to the image (not so nice but it works).

As for the size, it will have to depend on the situation. In Duke's 
case, he wants to decide whether to show a flash banner. Since the extra 
download is purely decoration, there would be no issue if some 
high-speed users didn't get the flash. It's still useful to have a rough 
estimate.

A very large test image would defeat the purpose -- if users had to 
download such an image to test their speed, they might as well download 
the flash in the first place.

Re: [css-d] Clickable image

2005-12-15 Thread Jesse Skinner
You can set the image to be the background of the a tag. With your code, 
that would look something like this:

#nh{
   display:block;
   position:absolute;
   top:150px;
   left:20px;
   width:191px;
   height:87px;
   overflow:hidden;
   text-indent:-200px;
   background: url(/media/image/nh_logo2005.gif);
}

Cheers,

 If you look at the new heights logo on the upper left of the layout,it's a
 background image, but I'd like to make it clickable. Problem is, I haven't
 found a way to put that image there without throwing off the rest of the
 layout. Any suggestions?

Hey Duke,

That's a really interesting question, although off topic for this 
mailing list. You got me thinking and experimenting, and I've come up 
with a solution to detect a visitor's speed just using JavaScript. I 
wrote about it on my blog:

Good luck! Let me know how it goes,

 I have used css for the first time to rebuild my church’s site, and love it.
 I would like to include a Flash header on the homepage, but switch to a

 there is a way to maybe have two “includes”, and use one or the other – but
 first I need some kind of ‘conditional switch’ or ‘logic switch’.
 
 Any ideas?

Re: [css-d] Font-size inheritance error in IE

2005-11-28 Thread Jesse Skinner
Susan,

As far as I can tell, it does this in Firefox and IE6 as well.

Try this to make tables inherit properly (I haven't tested in IE5):

table { font-size: 100%; }

Re: [css-d] Old HTML guy takes a beating...

2005-11-28 Thread Jesse Skinner
Hi Bruce,

I just took a quick look at your pages.

#1. To remove the space, try putting margin:0; on the SmallTxt class.

#2. I don't know about the effect with drop-shadows, but try setting 
text-align: center; in the div.float definition.

#3. I'm not sure I entirely understand this problem. Perhaps you want to 
set a height in the div.float definition?

#4. This is not so easy, since you're using float: left. Hopefully 
someone else on the list has some suggestions. Perhaps you could replace 
the 'float: left' with 'display: inline', though I wasn't able to get 
this to work at all.

Good luck,
Jesse Skinner

Re: [css-d] Flash and css

2005-10-07 Thread Jesse Skinner
 I tried using a flash movie as a background (just experimenting away) 
 in the wrapper div.

 I set an extra div id=background where the movie's playing.
 Then I start in a new div with the menu and content.

 I think I tried everything, absolute positioning, relative, float,
 z-index, but the flash movie keeps on playing on top of everything.

 Any suggestions how I can get my content on top of the movie?
 (I haven't uploaded this one)

You need to do two things:

1. add wmode=transparent to the embed tag
2. add position:absolute to the menu and anything else that goes on top

I tried to have relative-positioned nested divs within a single 
absolute-position div, but this didn't seem to work. It only worked for 
me when all the divs were absolutely positioned.


Good luck,
Jesse
