Re: [css-d] Browser Stacking Issues

2011-03-25 Thread Peter H .


1. In Chrome (Mac&  Win) and IE 7&  8, the css drop-downs on the  
left of
this page fall behind the flash MP3 player in the left column. Seems  
like

this would be a stacking issue but can't pin it down.

http://159.247.160.110/pod.php



A Flash movie will appear on top in some browsers, even if you've  
stacked your divs using z-index.


Normally I'd have suggested that in the object tags where the Flash  
resides, to try adding  wmode="opaque"  and see if that fixes the  
issue. It will also work using  wmode="transparent"  but I once read  
that "transparent" needs a lot more cpu power and that for z-index  
purposes only, "opaque" is better.


However, I see that your .swf is within javascript tags so I'm not  
sure whether the above is helpful, but it might at least give you a  
pointer.

in case this is of any help: the only way I've ever found to reliably centre 
vertically, is to use a good old-fashioned table. In this case, say, a single 
row with a cell each for your text and your image would probably do.

Could it be just that the 2nd page draws a scroll bar, which causes everything

designery comments: really like the feel of it, nice sparseness, tasty use of 
colour, intriguing, slightly enigmatic even. Great images. 

On the puzzling side, though, the desktop pages look more like mobile pages 
poorly adapted to big screen. The primary content is pushed too far down the 
window by less important stuff - gives a strange hierarchy to the links. If I 
was the client I wouldn't be happy having 'About' almost at the very end.

On the phone, there's too much scrolling down to do before arriving at the 
primary content.

I like the League Gothic but, as always, the letter spacing for the web font is 
clunky. Me, I'd use an image for the gallery logo so as to control the kerning 
and make it look nice.

On the desktop there's a double rule under Dakota which maybe isn't intended - 
the thin white rule being very slightly wider than the grey one.

Hope this is useful feedback, Peter

Lucida Grande?  The design's not as nice as Calibri but the x-height is similar 
and would be fairly widely installed especially if you specify the windows 
variants in the family.

I found this page handy for describing the quirks of Lucida Sans and Lucida 
Sans Unicode on Windows:

David, an oldish Acer portable running XP, browser windows at full width of the 
screen:
in IE6 & 7 the page draws very vertically, as though it was intended for a 
mobile and hasn't responded to wider screen and doesn't fill the width of the 
screen. 
The main menu is under the 'Wild Thing' image (one might not bother to go down 
enough to find it) and the vertical 'About' appears last at the very bottom. 
The Wild Thing image is scaled up I think and looks horrible, the text next to 
it is pixely and nasty and barely readable. The cream circle is on the right of 
your headings

IE8 draws the page possibly the way you intended.

Another thing: only in IE6 the main menu items show rules above AND below 
(darkening on hover), whereas IE7 & 8 shows rules only on hover and only below 
each item. Scrolling behaviour is also not how it should be in IE6.

Wouldn't Adobe Browserlab be a good quick way to check your changes?

Re: [css-d] Floating boxes with variable heights

2012-07-27 Thread Peter H.
Georg, I'm intrigued by your example and have wanted that behaviour several 
times in the past and couldn't figure a way to achieve it without fixed height 
divs.

But from your test page there's a bit of css that I don't understand:

.floating {
float-:left;
width:140px;
margin:1em .5em 0 0;
border:1px dashed #ccc;
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: top;
}

In your float declaration, if one removes the hyphen after the word 'float' the 
page ceases to behave in the desired way. 

On the other hand, if 'float-' is a mistype (and doesn't exist as a 
declaration) then there is no float declaration and the whole thing depends on 
display: inline-block;

Is that right?

I wonder how far back inline-block is supported. When you say 'obsolete 
browsers', are you referring to IE6 and IE7?

Hi Christopher, try using display:inline-block. I first saw this solution in a 
post on this list by Georg a while ago, and it's ideal for lining up floated 
items of variable height regardless of window width:

display: inline-block;
vertical-align: top;

I notice that the link that Georg posted is still functioning so I'll take the 
liberty of repeating it here:

It's quite old now but Son of Suckerfish does the things on your list. It has a

Vince, everything one reads on the 'net about html emails says use only inline 
css and tables, and even then there are many css styles to be avoided, 
especially floats. You can't always rely on inheritance either, so you have to 
repeat some styles with every occurence of a tag.

I use tables for structure and inline css for basic styling and have had no 
disasters with hotmail, google, yahoo or email programmes like outlook and mail.

Re: [css-d] Will the unsemantic HTML elements B and I be soon phased out?

2014-02-17 Thread Peter H.
I've always had a problem understanding why  and  are supposedly 
more semantic than  and . Italics don't necessarily indicate emphasis and 
bold doesn't necessarily indicate importance. Often they're nods to traditional 
comprehension of things or to the organisation of a text so as to aid 
understanding.

In fact, if you ask me, the instinctive, natural distinction between 'emphasis' 
and 'strong' is fuzzy, despite html5's attempt to define it. 

On the other hand, if  plainly means 'italic', and results in an italic font 
being displayed, then that to me is straightforward and unambiguous and no 
messing about. When I read it I can understand it however I prefer and 
according to the context. Same goes for 'bold'.

Of course if you style  in the css to produce a different, non-italic style 
then, yes, that's very unsemantic.

But seeing as  and  will be legit for the foreseeable future I'll prefer 
them over  and . They're quicker to key, too.

What you say is evidently true, but my point is that there are many cases where 
you want to distinguish words within a text without necessarily implying 
emphasis.

It's also true that the browser by default draws an italic font for 'emphasis' 
and a bold font for 'strong' so the result is equally presentational. Dunno why 
they couldn't have left it well alone, stuck with 'i' and 'b' and not created 
another can of worms.

Thanks Barney, that's a useful extract.  Because browsers draw  as italic 
I'd always assumed it was just a new fangled complication. But it seems as 
though it wouldn't be bad practice at all to restyle em in the css as one 
thinks appropriate to the concept of emphasis.

I had to go to wikipedia for 'bikeshedding'. Must be my age.

But I think I can already do that with floated , which are even more 
flexible since they
can be any % of the container width (must add to 100%, of course). 'Contained 
order' suggests a
bit more, but only that things should line up vertically and not be all over 
the place ? (with which I'd agree).

So I'd have (say) a 60% div and a 40% div (58.33% and 41.67% if I must be in 
twelfths). I can't see why I need an 8.33% div. In short, I'm still missing the 
point.

Grids give your site a visual consistency, which in my book is a good thing.

12-column grids are handy if you don't know the final design - they're very 
flexible in that you can use as a base for 2-, 3-, 4-, or 6- column pages. 
Usually they're used for templates where the creator of the grid cannot know 
the final layout use.

But if you do know the page layout then it doesn't seem worth the complication 
of basing it on a 12-column grid - you can simply, as you say, create the grid 
you need directly.

I don't see any difference with page at default 100% or zoomed to maximum, and 
the lowercase 'a' looks fine and correct.

Mac 10.6.8, FF v34.0.8 and iPad with retina, iOS 7.1.2

Perhaps it's an OS or graphics rendering thang rather than a problem with your 
code.

Re: [css-d] 508 compliance

2016-04-14 Thread Peter H.
If you specify any img width in the css then the html widths will have no 
effect. But beware that if you haven't specified any heights, then the html 
'height' may cause havoc with your layout. In the css, even  height:auto;  is 
sufficient to overide the html.

Maybe 508 compliance requires image dimensions, I don't know, but if it doesn't 
then I don't see the point of adding width and height to the html.

Hi Karl, I'm not sure what you mean by 'hard coded or inline'. 

Make a test page and place an image:



The image will fill 100% of its container's width. It makes no difference if
