I personally find Segoe UI to be the closest match in look and feel to
Myriad Pro, but it might not be widely cross-platform so you'll need to
list others. Tahoma, Trebuchet and Verdana are some others. The way I see
it, Helvetica and Arial are a little bit minimalistic and plain whereas
these others have a rounder, friendlier feel.

 Hi guys,

 I hope someone can help with a little problem. A new website I am
 designing looks perfect in Firefox 18 on Linux and in Safari. But it's not
 right in Opera on Linux, Chrome on Windows and probably several others. URL

On my windows desktop computer it looks ok in Chrome but not in IE 9.

Could it be something to do with how different browsers interpret the box
model? (some count the padding as part of the width and some don't). If
floated content is too wide for the container it gets pushed down.

Someone helped me with this issue on here recently and gave me this code to
put in the css to fix it.

* {
-webkit-box-sizing: border-box;
-moz-box-sizing: border-box;
box-sizing: border-box; }

[css-d] resolution vs physical screen size

2013-03-12 Thread Laura Valentino
I'm not sure if this is going off-topic for this list; if someone knows of
a more appropriate place to ask this please let me know. It does have to do
with media queries, but it's more of an aesthetic question than a practical
one.

My problem with grasping the media queries concept is the fact that website
displayed at a certain resolution (say 1600px wide) look very different on
a large desktop monitor and a laptop, and I assume they look different on
tablets of different resolutions although I don't have a way to test that.

I want my site to display full screen on a tablet pc, (no grey margins on
the sides) but I assume the ability to do this depends on the resolution of
the tablet. I put in max-width 1280 on my main container so the site fills
my 1280 tablet, but it looks huge on my desktop monitor. I haven't seen it
on a higher resolution (than 1280) tablet, but I imagine it will look tiny
with grey margins on the sides. I have viewed it on a 1600px wide laptop,
and that looks ok to me. I understand I can add more columns and horizontal
content for higher resolutions, but that's not always a good idea for
smaller screen sizes, is it?

How do you deal with this?

Best Regards,
Laura

[css-d] fluid image inside div puts extra padding below

2013-03-08 Thread Laura Valentino
Hi,
I have a fluid image inside a div and it is putting some padding below the
image (the div is colored blue so you can see it in the example). How can I
remove it? I've tried various things with the margins and padding of the
image and the div, but to no avail.

The example is here, and I've stripped the page and code down to the
minimum if you view the source:

Thanks!

 On the other hand, eventually, one may have the need to reshuffle the
 table to make it more usable on e.g. small-screen devices, along the lines
 of this demo (resize browser window to something narrow):

Is it because the width of the 3 td's add up to greater than 100%?
I've never heard of floating table cells - not sure why you'd need to.
Laura

On Tue, Mar 5, 2013 at 1:38 PM, Barney Carroll barney.carr...@gmail.comwrote:

 float only works on block display elements, whereas table cells display as
 table-cell by default. Table cells will naturally appear in a row without
 needing float.

 However, what you're doing is forcing float, such that the table cells
 implicitly become block display elements and lose their table display
 properties (meaning they return within rows, no longer share heights across
 rows, etc — to all intents and purposes the table layout is broken).

 I'm sure what you're trying to do can be done, but float the tables td's
 into place is vague, in that we don't know what the intent of 'into place'
 is.

[css-d] clear content after non-floating items?

2013-03-04 Thread Laura Valentino
My main menu bar is not supposed to wrap (it doesn't on my 2nd gen ipod
touch) - but I fear that on some device somewhere, it will wrap. This
wouldn't be the end of the world except for the ugly way the wrapped menu
item overlaps the following content. (you can see the effect if you size
the browser window down far enough for the top menu to wrap - some browsers
don't shrink that small though, chrome on windows 7 does).

A puzzling thing is that the submenu also wraps, but the following content
politely gets out of the way of the wrapped item...and I don't see the
difference between the 2 menus!

Does it have something to do with the fact that the main menu is contained
inside a header div inside the main container div, and the sub menu and
the rest of the content are just inside the container? I'm stumped! Any
help greatly appreciated. Google doesn't seem to understand my wording of
this problem :)

Here's the page: http://kvikna.com/testing/ieeg/features.html

Not even sure what code to include here, but here's the html of the navbars:

header
div id=logoa href=index.htmlimg src=pics/ieeg_logo.png alt=iEEG
logo border=0/a/div

nav class=mainmenu
ul
lia href=features.html class=selectedFeatures/a/li
lia href=*Demo/a/li
lia href=*Buy/a/li
lia href=*Meet us!/a/li
  /ul
/nav
/header

nav class=submenu
ul
lia href=features.html class=selected2Hosted EEG/a/li
lia href=*Connectivity/a/li
lia href=*EEG Review/a/li
lia href=*Patient DB/a/li
/ul
/nav

And the css. The 2 menu styles are more or less the same where measurements
go and both display as inline-block:

.mainmenu {
background-color: #5a83c6;
height: 2em;
font-family: amblebold;
}
.mainmenu ul,.submenu ul {
list-style-type: none;
line-height: 2em;
}
.mainmenu li,.submenu li {
display: inline-block;
height: 2em;
}

.mainmenu li a,.submenu li a {
-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0,0,0,0);
display: inline-block;
height: 2em;
padding: 0 0.4em;
text-align: center;
text-decoration: none;
}

 There are things like:

 which, I assume (uh-oh) that will allow you to customize that 'random'
 color...

[css-d] percents inside em container in fluid site

2013-02-25 Thread Laura Valentino
I'm trying to wrap my head around how to use percentages inside a container
specified in ems...or is this a bad idea? I used ems to specify the
max-width of the main container, as I think this will limit the upper width
while still allowing downwards fluidity. Inside the container are 2 floated
columns, with widths specified in percentages. I thought the percentages
should add up to 100% (of the container)...but this doesn't work. It works
with one column set at 60% and the other at 30%. What's going on here??

the site:
http://kvikna.com/testing/ieeg/

the relevant code:
#container {
position: relative;
max-width: 62em;
margin: 0 auto 0 auto;
}

#main {
padding: 3%;
float: left;
width: 60%;
}
aside {
float: right;
width: 30%;
padding: 10% 3% 1% 1%;
}

[css-d] Problem with nav menu on Mac Safari and Mac Firefox

[css-d] Positioning a popup window over the button

2012-01-07 Thread Laura Valentino
I'm trying to position a popup window over a button. I've succeeded in
doing that by using position: relative and applying a negative top value.
The problem is that it creates a space below the button (I assume the same
size as the window) and pushes the footer down below that. What's going
on?? If I change the position to absolute, it doesn't create this space and
I can position the popup relative to the browser window, but I really want
it to be aligned with the button. Any suggestions or links to tutorials
about this?

Here is the example. The button is below the image. The popup styles are in
the html. I made the content background bright blue so you can see how much
space is added when the popup appears.

http://vidmot.com/popupwindow/

Any help would be greatly appreciated! I've been away from this list for a
few years and rediscovering css is as fun as ever ;)

[css-d] Questions regarding how to make selected li red with css

2008-10-07 Thread Laura
Hi Everyone...

I have two questions and I'm hoping someone here might know the
answers...

I'm not that experienced with css, and am very curious if anyone
out here would know how I can achieve the effect of highlighting
the selected item on my list in red instead of blue.

The page is at http://www.octos.org/ooth/2new.htm

I have validated it and noted that the function that I'm using
that will allow me to put the document in the window immediately
to the right uses 's and that is throwing errors with the
validator. From what I can tell there are no other errors except
those in the AJAX script.

Are there any hints for having the script tag elements validate
or will they always give errors?

Much thanks for your assistance and consideration. Have a
wonderful day everyone!

[css-d] CSS Templates

2008-03-17 Thread Laura
Hello

Thank you again for all your help on my last question. Now I'm
struggling with this

I want the site to have the top margin and left side as the
constant and the rest to be variable. I really don't want to
clone this page for the rest of the pages for the site. How does
one go about making part of the CSS variable while leaving the
header and side panel code the same without copying it to each
page in the site?  The other thing I need to do with the site is
add a log in page which will also be on the left side, I don't
think that would affect the style sheets though.

My site is http://www.returnengagement.org

[css-d] Confused noob! div is different IE or FF

2008-03-15 Thread Laura

Hi,

I'm working on a site http://www.returnengagement.org

CSS is below

It renders completely different in IE (looks how I want it
basically) versus Firefox Looks all jumbled up!

I think it is because of a DIV, but depending on whether or not
the DIV on line 66 is there, it renders wrong in the other browser.

Am I missing something?  Much thanks for any help! I've spent so
many hours trying to figure this out and am completely at a loss.

[css-d] noob problem resolved and follow up question re: xhtml validation

2008-03-15 Thread Laura
Hi,

thanks to everyone for your help. Turns out I was nailed by a
really LAME error, I validated the CSS but forgot to validate the
xhtml. And therein laid my problem.

It has been corrected... and so have I!

One further question though regarding validation

I have a google maps link on the page which is throwing all kinds
of errors and also, I use unordered list ul li with p below
the listed item (for other info). The validator says this is not
allowed. If that is true, how do you put a paragraph under a li

Thanks for all your help. I'll try not to make such a silly error
in the future. I really appreciate your feedback!

[css-d] floated img not right in IE

2007-04-04 Thread Laura Gattoni
Hi,
I finally got a page to look the way I wanted in Firefox. Then opened
it in IE Win and the floated images are all over the place.

Here's the link:
http://www.lauragattonihandwovens.com/csstest/scarves.html


Also, if you can help, notice that my 3px double borders around the
photos are missing in IE. I  know I've got a border=0 and that is
because every img was showing up with a 1px purple border (I don't
know why). Also why is my copyright at the bottom not formatting?
(compare http://www.lauragattonihandwovens.com/csstest/logo.html).

Here's the css:

[css-d] Browser Gradient Issue

2006-11-17 Thread Laura Glaess
Issue #1
The content area and background both have gradients on this website.
The background color of these continers is the same as the bottom of
the repeated 1px wide jpg that is the gradient. If you look at the
page in firefox, everything flows smoothly. If you look at it in
safari, the image colors and the background colors are WAY off. How do
I make the colors flow well in all browsers?

Issue #2
If you go to performances (purple square)  gallery
(This problem does not exist in safari, so view in firefox) The image
is supposed to be beside the text, but I can't seem to arrange it
properly.

Issue #3
Minor spacing issues everywhere. The top navigation is too high. The
Wish List on the index page needs to move to the right a bit, etc.
Padding and Margins don't seem to be doing it (and I'm probably
changing the wrong things)

Can you help me?

Re: [css-d] Best way to work in CSS and XHTML ?

2006-05-24 Thread Laura Frederick
I use Dreamweaver for simultaneous CSS  Xhtml editing.  But I don't know if
I prefer it to any other because I have used DW for years and years.  I have
open the css file and the html file at the same time, the HTML is usually
always in code view. Change, save, hit F12 to view in browser, repeat.  Plus
I usually have Fireworks and Flash open at the same time, too, so that's
another reason.  I guess you can take it as just the recommendation of a
Macromedia (now Adobe) addict.  The WYSIWYG part in Dreamweaver MX doesn't
really work when using all CSS, so you have to keep checking in the browser.

[css-d] Best practices - images, ie7

2006-05-18 Thread Laura Frederick
Using CSS exclusively was new to me a few months ago.  I read some books,
and lots of online articles and have been using it ever since.  I am
confused by the use of images and slices with CSS.  I would like suggestions
of good articles on this topic.  Like how to get a nice background behind
text with an opacity that lets the body background show through, pretty
rounded corners, and stuff like that.  

FYI, I am a recovering Flash addict. L

Lastly, I am using IE7 beta 2.  If anyone wants their page tested on IE7,
just let me know.

[css-d] linking lists into multiple pages

2006-03-23 Thread Laura Smith
I have created a horizontal list for tabbed browsing on my site, but
currently have the code for the list appearing on every page; when I
want to make a change to one of the tabs, I have to input this change on
every page/subpage of my site.  

 

Does anyone know of a way to link a list like this to multiple pages.
That way I can make a change on the master list and have it applied to
every page on which it is linked?

 

Thanks,
Laura

[css-d] IE Issue: Floated Image pushes into Left Aligned Text

2006-03-02 Thread Laura Watts
Hi,

I'm having an issue only in IE where the text adjacent to the floated  
left image is pushed in a couple pixels; once the text clears the  
bottom of the image, the left aligned text displays correctly.
See it here:
http://www.thedesignasylum.com/secretstash/IE_layout_issue.html

I based this on pixy's 3 column layout:
http://www.pixy.cz/blogg/clanky/css-3col-layout/

I have tried lots of things that haven't worked and I am at the end  
of my rope (tiling the background image, z-index, playing around with  
padding, making all margins 0, putting the middle column text in its  
own div, blah blah blah).

Is this something I have to live with when viewing it in IE or is  
there a workaround?

Thanks in advance,
Laura

[css-d] Problem with input file

2005-12-12 Thread Laura Greenwood
Hello listbuds!

Well, I'm making terrific progress on this site thanks to all of you!
I have run into a weird thing that is causing me trouble in IE, but
not FireFox.

first, my files are at:
http://ciswebs.smc.edu/cis51/greenwood_laura_lee/temp/index.htm

css:
http://ciswebs.smc.edu/cis51/greenwood_laura_lee/temp/css/tempinc.css

in the index.htm  and products.htm I had the statement

label for=attachmentUpload your CAD or Specification document here
(optional)/label input type=file /

In FF it looked great.. however in IE, that statement caused the
whole navcontainer on the right to go to the end of the page (in
effect, I guess it seemed to overlap). I can't figure out what
property to change to fix it, so I've commented it out. :(

Also, I have not been able to figure out the mystery of the
background. It seems that the #main controls the background. However
long #main is, the background will be that long. If the #left is
longer, the grid background will still end wherever #main ends. But
interesting, the background image is behind both #left and #main like
I wanted it.

The site structure is working very nicely with assistance from many of
you on the list. I really appreciate all the support!!

If anyone knows what's wrong... I'd really appreciate knowing so I can
learn better how this stuff works!

Have a great day!

[css-d] Trying to modify this CSS to show the menu and picture viewer

2005-12-09 Thread Laura Greenwood
hi everyone,

I've been a busy bee working hard trying to get all this code working!
I have had some amazing help from great people here and have a kind of
CSS template if you will, that I'm using for my site. I'm trying to
incorporate a photo viewer in that layout and let me tell you that is
not going too great! (smile). I got the picture viewer working well,
but I can't figure out how to get the right side menu working in the
structure I have.

Here's my basic structure

http://ciswebs.smc.edu/cis51/greenwood_laura_lee/temp_nov/index10.htm
the CSS is at

http://ciswebs.smc.edu/cis51/greenwood_laura_lee/temp_nov/css/tempinc.css

here's the pictures (click on facility from the above link) or go
directly to

http://ciswebs.smc.edu/cis51/greenwood_laura_lee/tempnov/facility.htm
(this page uses the tempinc.css webs above and inline for the picture
viewer)

I put the word left in the left div, and the word main in the main
div... so those are showing up. I don't really need those divs for
this type of page. but I do need the menu to be exactly where it is on
the right.

If anyone has any ideas how to get it working right, boy I'd sure
appreciate it.  I can't believe how much I'm learning from all this!

Much thanks!!!

Laura

[css-d] making progress but... jumping CSS on nav bar buttons and weirdness between IE/FF

2005-12-02 Thread Laura Greenwood
hi..

my page http://tempinc.com/index8.htm

on this page, about 2 seconds after the screen refreshes, some of the
elements on the left nav bar jump and a larger whitespace is shown
between them but not all of them

the one between about temp and facility tour

and about temp and contact us

(This is in IE)

now in firefox, the nav bar jumps with 3 elements after products,
facility tour and contact us.


In firefox, the page layout just doesn't work right at all. IE is how
I want it to look... but its completely different in firefox.

the map I want to locate next to the ISO logo, but for now I am
leaving it at the bottom because I just don't know how come it is over
the RFQ form in firefox... but if I can at least get them looking kind
of the same I'd be happy. Interesting, in Firefox... the grid in the
content div is only like one line width wide, instead of behind all of
the blocka-blockd boxes like it shows in IE.

Oh and... my css validates, I have one non validating  statement on
the xhtml (nohref=nohref) does anyone know how to get that to
validate? It sure makes life easy... Hate to take it out.

Anyhow, I'm plugging along... some of you may have seen this before
and without all your help,  I surely would not have gotten this far.


Thanks for listening. I just keep on truckin here...

[css-d] is there hope!! newbie trying hard to get it working!

2005-12-01 Thread Laura Greenwood
hi everyone.. y'all have been so great and I really appreciate all the
input. With your suggestions combined into this

http://ciswebs.smc.edu/cis51/greenwood_laura_lee/temp_nov/index4.htm
(looks good in IE6, missing middle white grid background in firefox,
and not sure how it looks in other browsers)

I modified the footer to include a table in this version of the same
program. Again in IE6 it looks great, in firefox, wow, the whole
middle structure is gone, block C is flush left and the white
background with blue lines is gone.

http://ciswebs.smc.edu/cis51/greenwood_laura_lee/temp_nov/index8.htm

I'm really not sure how to go about changing this to work. I also need
to add a form on the left nav bar and place a iso9001 graphic under
that inquiry form (currently commented out), but not sure how to go
about that. Anytime I do anything to the document, it seems to break
something else. I know this is possible, but it seems like there's
something missing each time I try something.

Any ideas are gratefully appreciated. I thank everyone for looking.

hi,

I'm getting this message with my page that reads:

to help protect your security, Internet Explorer has restricted this
file from showing active content that could access your computer.
Click here for options...  the options are allow blocked content or
what's the risk.

Why would I be getting this when using CSS?

http://ciswebs.smc.edu/cis51/greenwood_laura_lee/temp_nov/index4.htm

Running XP sp2 and IE 6. current version, and running it from my local
machine. I don't seem to get the message when its run from the web?
but not entirely sure about that.


Thanks!!

[css-d] newbie! - footer not working!

2005-11-30 Thread Laura Greenwood
I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong here. I had this working on my
prior version

http://ciswebs.smc.edu/cis51/greenwood_laura_lee/temp_nov/index4.htm

Now I've tried to make 4 divs in the middle so I can put different
content in there.. and now the footer is not following my footer
style, the image in the footer which should be placed on the far left
bottom corner of the footing, is above it, and the footer is being
swallowed up by the content div.

here's what I have now:

http://http://ciswebs.smc.edu/cis51/greenwood_laura_lee/temp_nov/index5.htm

does anyone know what the heck I've done wrong. I had an id: ISO
which I was trying to use to place that graphic in my footer.. but I
took the DIV out in an attempt to see what it would do and now I just
don't know what to do!

Thanks a million jillion quadrillion!!  :)

[css-d] newbie - problem with CSS bullets not going away and others

2005-11-28 Thread Laura Greenwood
hello,

I found this list while googling trying to figure out this problem.

I'm using a sample script from 
http://css.maxdesign.com.au/listutorial/roll_master.htm

and for some reason, even if I copy the exact code in my file, it puts
bullets next to the list item entries even though the CSS
(list-style-type: none) says NOT to put the bullets..

I have posted my code at
http://ciswebs.smc.edu/cis51/greenwood_laura_lee/temp_nov/index4.htm

I have spent hours and hours trying to figure it out... yes I am new
to CSS, its a school project, but not new to HTML or coding.

I'm not sure if anyone here would know the answer, but if you do, I
would be forever grateful.

Thanks for listening.

[css-d] Float:right crashes IE; alternative screws up absolute positioning

2005-10-06 Thread Laura Kisailus
Hello again --

Fixed a few of my problems, now I have two more.

I had a nice little setup, two columns, one float:left, the other
float:right.  No margins, no padding, no nothing (as mentioned in this
post about IE crashing with floats:
http://archivist.incutio.com/viewlist/css-discuss/61022).

For the most part (searching Google for ie crash float) the solution
was to remove the float and build the page with an alternative style
sheet.

Ok, so I just float:left the left column, and instead of floating
right the other column, just margin-left:300px -- works great.

Well, sort of.  My error display, which is absolutely positioned,
works fine in FF, but fails miserably in IE.

Any suggestions?

I figured out what the problem was.  I was float:left; something
within the float:right and it didn't do anything nor make sense. 
Why IE crashed?  I dunno.  But anyone else having problems with CSS
Floats crashing IE 6 -- find your floats, delete one at a time, and go
through them all until you find 2 or 3 floats that get IE working
again.  Then figure out which one(s) can go, and dump them.

This fixed my other problem too, since my two columns are still
float:left and float:right.

Are people on the list actually getting my emails?  Or are they just
to simplistic to respond to?  Not that I feel entitled to a reply, but
I've posted twice now and neither have been responded to, which is
kind of strange.

[css-d] Strange Javascript styling error?!?

2005-10-05 Thread Laura Kisailus
On a certain div, I have an onmouseover and onmouseout that expands
and contracts a div.  It works great on 4 different pages, except in
IE on one page.

Steps to recreate:
http://dev.762wireless.com/frt/?page=2
Hit Finish
Error Displays
Mouse-Over the Terms  Conditions scroll box

The frtmainbody freaks out and shrinks to the same size the scrollbox
should upon mouseout.  XHTML is OK, CSS seems to be ok.  Works fine in
Mozilla, works fine in IE on page=1... I'm boggled.

[css-d] Re: Online course to learn CSS

2005-09-29 Thread Laura Carlson
I took some cascading style sheets classes in 2002 though the 
International Webmasters Association/HTML Writers Guild.


The first class started with the basics and the second one taught how 
to do real things.


The last one, an advanced course taught by Eric A. Meyer, was very 
challenging and demanding. The course had quite a bit of CSS theory as 
well as practice that helped me to understand why browsers behave as 
they do, what should be happening, and how to try to turn things to an 
advantage.


Topics explored included: how selectors really work, why the cascade 
and specificity can turn your hair gray, techniques to overcome 
strangeness in line layout, media-specific and alternate styles, how 
DOCTYPE switching can make styling easier or harder, and a few ways to 
sneak past browser bugs without upsetting others.


I'm not sure who is currently teaching CSS at the International 
Webmasters Association/HTML Writers Guild and what is covered now but 
you could check it out at:

http://iwa-hwg.eclasses.org/

Also the Web Design Reference is a huge mega-reference (over 3,000 
links) of information and articles about web design and development. It 
has a full section of online CSS resources (plus accessibility, 
usability, web standards, and many related topics are covered).


The Web Design Reference URL is:
http://www.d.umn.edu/goto/webdesign/

CSS Section:
http://www.d.umn.edu/goto/css

CSS Books:
http://www.d.umn.edu/goto/books#css

You might also find the Web Design Update Newsletter helpful. The URL 
is:

http://www.d.umn.edu/goto/webdevlist

The newsletter is a plain text email digest that typically goes out 
once a week as an adjunct to the site.


All the Best,
Laura

[css-d] stylesheets won't apply

2005-07-27 Thread laura sturman
Hi. I'm a high school teacher in California who has been put in charge of 
the Web pages at my site because I am a computer lab teacher. I've used 
DreamWeaver and FrontPage, but I would like to convert all the pages to CSS 
since our school site is clunky and slow and I'm tired of hearing all the 
complaints!


This is my first time asking a question. I discovered CSS during a workshop 
run by Molly Holzschlag last winter. I'm also working through Eric Meyer's 
book -- On CSS.


I like using CSS but I have run into a snag. Maybe you could help?

I have attached an external stylesheet to HTML pages which are all saved in 
the same folder. When I preview the pages on the Web (Explorer or Netscape), 
the first page I view has the styles applied. (colors, positions, fonts, 
etc.) But when I link to another page within the site, the style sheet no 
longer applies, all I see is the plain HTML. I have attached the stylesheet: 
link href=/dghome6.css rel=stylesheet type=text/css to every page.


Has this happened to anyone else? Will the stylesheets apply when the pages 
are uploaded to a server?


Thanks!

[css-d] newbie to css - using css with include file

2005-07-25 Thread Laura MacNeil

Hello,
I am a newbie to css.
I have a template - template_body.htm

This template is linked to a cascading style sheet (style_new.css) through the 
code link rel=stylesheet type=text/css 
href=http://prairies/style_new.css; - 

This template also has an inlclude statement to a header file (clf_header .asp) 
- !--#include virtual=clf_header.asp--

When I preview the template in the browser - the header file is not showing up 
correctly. There are links in the header file, but I do not want them to follow 
the cascading style sheet rules for links - is there a way to do this?

Is it possible to exclude the header file from the cascading style sheet rules?


Any help would be greatly appreciated!


~Laura
