[css-d] serious site issues-cont'd

2009-07-24 Thread Lisa Wilcox
Group,

I have implemented David's suggestions on the three column layout page issue
and the base font issue. I'm still struggling with the wide column issue.

http://www.webgirlwebdesigns.com/testing/StPaulsv1/index.html 

 

What I am noticing in IE 8 and FF 3.0 is on the wide column, there seems to
be a gap between the top wide content div and the center content div. 

Also if I don't insert hard breaks, the text runs out of the box.

 

In IE 8 also on some of the three column pages, everything shifts to the
left and doesn't center. 

 

Thanks

Lisa

David,

I have looked on the pages and template and can find no such byte mark. I
looked in DW and can't find the setting for this. I'm on CS4.

Thank you,
Lisa


On this specific page:
http://www.webgirlwebdesigns.com/testing/StPaulsv1/christianformation.html
A Byte-order mark [1] precedes the doctype; consequently, IE is in 
quirksmode and throws your stuff left.
[1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byte-order_mark

Dreamweaver, or whatever editor you are using, may be inserting it. 
Dreamweaver can be be stooped from doing this by changing something (I 
do not know what) in the preferences. Or, you can delete the BOM, and 
save the document in Notepad +++ .

[css-d] series of site issues

2009-07-23 Thread Lisa Wilcox
I'm at the point of tearing my hair out. 

I have a site that I've got a series of issues on.

 

First of all the font doesn't seem to stay universal from the main content
with 3 boxes to the wide content.

The three boxes in the main content don't seem to want to align. I have
tried min-height and I have the height set to auto to flow in text.

On the wide content pages, the center background image doesn't want to show
up and it seems to separate from the top bg  gif.

Any assistance on this would be appreciated.

[css-d] css positonal issues on site

2008-08-04 Thread Lisa Wilcox
I have a website that I'm trying to finish up and am having text and
positional issues with it.

http://www.webgirlwebdesigns.com/testing/Krumm/index.html

 

The menu seems to spread out on some pages and the text spacing is screwy
depending on the browser.  I have validated it in DW and no errors.

Thanks

Yikes! Dreadfully slow even on my T1 line. I would suggest having a sit down
meeting with the designer and the church contact person and explain the
merits of a fast loading web page and how it will help them from an
accessibility and search engine standpoint. If potential church members get
on this and it takes forever to load, they will leave vs waiting for it to
load. If you really want to sing this home have them try to get on your test
link on dial up!
My suggestion is to slice the image into div layers just as Adam had
suggested and try to move forward from there but the designer has to be more
realistic about the type of images they are producing for the web.

snip
I started to code the site and got this far:
http://dev.eddysound.com/dev/rrc/  It has an extremely slow load time due to
the rather large circular image.

Basically, can anyone give me advice as to how they would go about laying
this page out in valid CSS and XHTML?

[css-d] adobe web site

2008-07-31 Thread Lisa Wilcox
Is it just me or is adobe.com's home page menu getting lost behind their
header flash? I'm on Vista home premium running FF 2.0 and when I view
adobe.com (home page) the menu drops down behind the flash and you can't
access their menus. It's driving me crazy! The company that touts being the
industry standard can't even seem to handle their own site menu! I have
tried to contact someone with no luck. I'm writing here with the hope that
Eric or someone here has a contact with someone at adobe that will actually
listen!

Thanks

Lisa

[css-d] Fill the page, but keep your border

2008-05-27 Thread Lisa Wilcox
Stephen,
Kudos to you on this. I personally found this very useful on a project of
mine.
Cheers,
Lisa Wilcox


For a long time I have been trying to find a way to create a page which
fills the viewport but leaves a border around the content. For example, a
div which is 100%-4em wide and high, with a 2em border.

Unfortunately the css box model doesn't make this easy.

I have found a way to do this with css which I believe is novel:

http://www.sfnelson.org/css-demo.html

In essence, I use a hidden floating div with height: 100% and margin: -4em.
This marks the bottom of the div. Then, I create the content div, and place
another hidden div inside it which has float: none. This stretches the
content box below the floating div.

I hope this is useful to someone.

Regards,

Stephen Nelson

Re: [css-d] Simple Dreamweaver/CSS question

2008-02-14 Thread Lisa Wilcox
Do you have that css file linked in your html page?
In the head of your code, you should have a link to your stylesheet in the
following manner:
link rel=stylesheet media=all type=text/css href=link to your
style.css here /
Hope this helps.

Subject: [css-d] Simple Dreamweaver/CSS question


I'm new to web design, and new to Dreamweaver CS3 (Mac) and CSS.

I've learned to generate CSS files and do simple code mods, and attach  
the style sheet files to new html files.

However, when I preview my newly-minted CSS-attached html files in  
Safari 3.0 (the latest, under Leopard) or in Firefox 2.0, none of the  
formatting is visible. The rendered page has the wrong background  
color, and it looks like a dumb html page with none of the CSS text  
formatting.

I've verified that my CSS file is in the proper directory (same as  
html file).

What could be the issue?

Thanks very much,

Dan O'Brien

[css-d] left sidebar float problems

2008-02-09 Thread Lisa Wilcox
I have a website I'm working on.  What I am trying to do is to have the
sidebar carry down with the content so that it appears seamless. I've been
reading http://www.alistapart.com/articles/holygrail  and trying to follow
instructions. Now it seems I have too much sidebar carrying down..I'm so
beyond frustrated, please advise.I need HELP!

The site link is as follows:

http://www.webgirlwebdesigns.com/testing/TriBeam/index.html

 

In my sidebar css, I have the following:

#sidebar {

width: 180px;

background-color: #E7F5FE;

padding-left: 5px;

padding-right: 5px;

border-left: 1px solid #75B4D4;

border-right: 1px solid #75B4D4;

border-top: 1px solid #75B4D4;

position: absolute;

top: 87px;

overflow: hidden;

padding-bottom: 400em; /* X + padding-bottom */

margin-bottom: -400em; /* X */

height: 23px;

}

 

I've tried adjusting the em variables and can't make it work. 

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Lisa

[css-d] Menu not displaying well in IE 6

2007-12-31 Thread Lisa Wilcox
I have a web site www.familyfirstdocs.com. In IE6 with WinXP, the scrolling
seems to be disabled on the dropdown menus. In IE 7 and on Firefox it
seems fine. When I use dreamweaver cs3 it gives me a list whitespace
bug. I try to apply the fixes it suggests, but I still have the same
issue. Below is my menu css.

#menuh

{font-size: small;
font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;

width:100%;
height: 28px;
}

#menuh a
{
text-align:

display:block;
border: 1px solid #33;

white-space:nowrap;
margin:0;
}

#menuh a, #menuh a:visited
/* menu at rest */
{
color: white;
background-color: #4572B6;

text-decoration:none;
}

#menuh a:hover/* menu at mouse-over
*/
{
color: #00;
background-color: #A1B1A4;
}

#menuh ul
{
list-style:none;
margin:0;

width:100px;/* width of all menu boxes */
}

#menuh

}

#menuh ul ul

position:absolute;
z-index:500;
top:auto;

display:none;
padding: 1em;
margin:-1em 0 0 -1em;
width: 175px;

text-align: left;
}

#menuh ul ul ul
{
top:0;
left:100%;

}

div#menuh li:hover
{
cursor:pointer;
z-index:100;

}

div#menuh li:hover ul ul,
div#menuh li li:hover ul ul,
div#menuh li li
li:hover ul ul,
div#menuh li li li li:hover ul ul
{display:none;}

div#menuh
li:hover ul,
div#menuh li li:hover ul,
div#menuh li li li:hover
ul,
div#menuh li li li li:hover ul
{display:block;}

/* End CSS Drop Down

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks
