Subject: [css-d] What's this hack for?
I have a page that I'm pulling apart so I can figure out
how it works as I'm new to CSS but would love to master it.
The style sheet has the following at the top of the file:
/* \*/
* html #tlc, * html #trc {height: 1%;}
/* */
I guess it's a hack for something but can't find any help
using Google. The page displays a rounded corner area and
#tlc and #trc are rules for the top-left-corner and
top-right-corner images.

RE: [css-d] Compliant Browser displaying upgrade browser message
Not sure why Net * / IE 6 were displaying the upgrade message, but in any
case its not a good idea to use display: none to hide content unless you
don't' mind it being hidden from some screen readers.
I usually use the following which positions the hidden content offscreen:
.hide {
position: absolute;
top: -5000px;
left: -5000px;
}
See http://www.alistapart.com/articles/fir - a bit old now but has results
from some screen reader tests.
Cheers,
Rebecca Cox

Subject: [css-d] Compliant Browser displaying upgrade browser message
The email excerpt below was sent today from a user. We are using the
WASP Invisible Object Method to display the Upgrade Note. I downloaded
NS 8 and the page displayed correctly for me and has been displaying
correctly in IE 6 and FireFox. I know that if the user disables CSS that
they would receive the message but we spoke to the guy on the phone and
he didn't have CSS disabled through the accessibility feature on IE. I
don't know how to disable CSS in Netscape 8.
I really need your help. Going CSS and standards compliant was a big
step and lots of red tape. We are hoping to have all CDC using CSS for
layout over the next several months. Any ideas on what could be going
on? Thanks.
I just logged onto the site: http://www.cdc.gov/katrina/
At the top the notation appears: Note: If you can read this text, you
are probably using a browser that is not compliant with current Internet
standards. You may want to upgrade your browser
Unfortunately, I am using Netscape 8.0.3.3 and Internet Explorer
6.0.2800 with the same results.

RE: [css-d] converting to tableless- quick question
Its not perfect, but I found the book Stylin with CSS (Charles Wyke-Smith) covers a lot of ground and gives good summaries of current practice. Its not 100% accurate - lots of typos etc but overall very useful.

[css-d] htc / son of suckerfish type dropdowns, iE probs
Hi there, I've been fiddling with a sort of combo of the htc-enabled dropdowns (http://www.bbd.com/stylin/) and suckerfish II (http://www.htmldog.com/articles/suckerfish/dropdowns/example/) and have it all sweet except for a problem with, err, IE6 / Win;( See http://www.reb.net.nz/htc/ It appears that where a list item in the dropdown has a child list (ie a dropdown menu), in IE when you hover over it, there's a bit of space added under the parent list item. Anyone seen this before know of a solution?

[css-d] BIR Bob Image Replacement - (z-index stack order probs)
Hi folks, A colleague has pointed me to another image replacement technique by the name of BIR (Bob's Image Replacement) - it is pretty simple and just involves giving a negative z index to the text you want to hide behind a background image. I have found it OK as long as you don't want to specify a background color - see samples at http://www.reb.net.nz/csstests/ Has anyone used this technique much? Ideally I want to be able to have a bgcolor on there as in the second example. NB - its referred to here, but the link is no go http://www.stuffandnonsense.co.uk/archives/mir_image_replacement.html#commen t34 Cheers :) Rebecca __ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
[css-d] one more for list of IE CSS nastys ?
Grr IE, you know how you can use an ID class selector together on same
element?
Eg
.resources .stories#banner {
background: #666;
}
.resources .know#banner {
background: #ccc;
}
All fine valid etc but IE6 Win will only apply the first such style in the
CSS file - so in this example .stories is all good but .know is ignored.
Anyone know why this is?
So perhaps not the best to use if you have a set of classes to list.
:(
