 i've viewed your web site on both ie7 and ff3 and haven't notice any
 difference.

 perhaps fixed already?

 Thanks, someone emailed me off-list with the problem - the elements needed
hasLayout added to them. I implemented an IE-only stylesheet to add zoom: 1;
to #keywords-calls, #blog-latest and #sidebar #audience-calls li a.

Glad to know it worked!

Cheers
Rory

[css-d] Background-image and line height problems in IE6

2009-01-04 Thread Rory Fitzpatrick
Hi all,

I'm having a couple of issues on the following website that I can't  
resolve:

http://www.roryf.co.uk/projects/cgm/

I think everything now works fine in all browsers except IE6  7. Both  
have an issue with the background image on #keywords-calls and #blog- 
latest, the first not displaying at all and the latter only partly  
visible. IE6 is also increasing the height of #sidebar #audience-calls  
li on the right. I'm at a loss for either of these problems, any help  
is greatly appreciated!

Browsershots images from yesterday, I've resolved a couple of things  
since then:

Re: [css-d] IE, z-index and absolute positioning

2008-12-07 Thread Rory Fitzpatrick
2008/12/7 Leyrson Kroska [EMAIL PROTECTED]

 Hi, the default value of z-index for all elements is 0, try z-index:-1;


I had already adjusted the z-index of the main content areas to 200 and the
background elements to 5, however the problem was I hadn't adjusted the main
container. Changing #outer to z-index: 200; did the trick.



 To your menu change the float:left; of a/a tag to li/li

Awesome, that fixed it :)

 Sorry for my bad english .. :)

Don't be, you're trying to help thats what counts :o)

 tips to IE6: transparent .png need one fix .. search in the google for png
 fix but here some links:

 Thanks, I was aware of this and know how to get round it.



 Regards,

 Leyrson


Cheers

PS Sorry for hijacking another thread subject, I hadn't actually read the
thread titled IE7, z-index and absolute positioning before sending this
message but I'd scanned the list so it was obviously in my sub-conscious!

Re: [css-d] repeating image

2008-12-07 Thread Rory Fitzpatrick
2008/12/7 Tim Wolak [EMAIL PROTECTED]

 Morning all,

 In the main content area of my pages I have a small repeating image for the
 background.  How do I get it to dynamically conform to the amount of
 content
 on the page?  I would like it to conform to the content obviously but also
 have it big enough so that my content areas are not super short.  Any
 advice?  Thanks in advance!

 Tim

 http://dev.howsmykiddriving.org


My first question would have to be - why are you using an image for this at
all? Why not just set the background-color property of #wrapper to #949075?
(thats what ColorZilla told me the colour was)

Cheers
Rory

PS one more question - why aren't either of the kids in the pictures wearing
their seat belts? :o)

[css-d] IE, z-index and absolute positioning

2008-12-06 Thread Rory Fitzpatrick
Hi all,

I have a page that has three elements that are designed to be in the
background and move when the page is resized:

http://www.roryf.co.uk/projects/guides/

This works fine in everything except IE 6  7 (no surprises there then!).
I'm a bit stuck as to where to start fixing the z-index with the background
elements and the stacking of the main nav menu. Can someone point me in the
right direction please?

Cheers
Rory Fitzpatrick

[css-d] Float problem with order of HTML

2008-10-28 Thread Rory Fitzpatrick
Hi,

I'm trying to create a layout that has the nav section taking up a  
left hand column from position 0,0 of the container, with a header and  
then content on the right. I want to do this with the nav HTML element  
appearing below the header, but without using absolute positioning. My  
progress so far is at:

http://www.roryf.co.uk/projects/safhs

This shows the desired effect I want but has the nav first in the  
HTML. If it comes second it renders below the header, whatever margin- 
left or float value I give to the header element. The only way I've  
found is giving the header an absolute width, but this then causes  
problems with the margin-right on the nav and I'd rather it was more  
flexible than that.

Any suggestions?

Cheers
Rory

 That's rather awkward, so if possible, download and install the Web
 Developer Extensions to Firefox, from

 http://chrispederick.com/work/webdeveloper

 It's a great tool that lets you study (and modify) many aspects of a
 document. Select CSS/View CSS (or ) to see the stylesheets.

I'd also get the Firebug extension, it allows you to select an element
on the page and view its current style attributes (including those set
by javascript)oh and it does a few other things as well ;-)

Re: [css-d] two variable width divs side by side

 Please help me, as I'm totally frustrated and considering giving up table

Try this out for size:

div style=border: 1px solid black; width: auto; float: left;
div style=border: 1px solid fuchsia; margin: 2px; float: left;
width: 100px;
  That's the way it looks

/div
div style=border: 1px solid lime; margin: 2px 2px 2px 108px;
width: auto;
  table border=1

tbodytr
  td11/td
  td22/td
/tr
  /tbody/table
/div
div style=clear: both;nbsp;/div
  /div

If you want to increase the space between the divs simple increase the
margin-left value (108px - this allows for the 100px width + total 6px
margin + 2px of border).

Hope this helps

Re: [css-d] IE 5 and 6 issue

2007-05-17 Thread Rory Fitzpatrick
 does anyone know where I can check a newly designed site in a variety of 
 different browsers?
 

 With regard to cross-browser viewing, if you mean IE, and you are on a
 PC, you can get multiple installs of IE here:
 http://tredosoft.com/Multiple_IE
 Or you can use browsercam (rather expensive):
 http://www.browsercam.com/

http://www.browsershots.org is one I use a lot, oh and its free!

[css-d] IE doubling padding with clear:both

2007-03-19 Thread Rory Fitzpatrick
Hi,

Sorry if I've sent this multiple times - I'm not having much luck with
gmail today!

I'm having a problem with IE doubling the padding-top value on a  div.
A quick google search revealed that this happens when the div also has
 clear:both (which it does) and using a selector would fix it. That
did the trick  with IE6, but the problem also exists in IE7 which can
also use the selector. I  want a 20px top padding and am currently
using the following:

#device  .content {
 background-image:url(../img/content-bg.png);
 background-repeat:no-repeat;
 background-color:#fff;
 padding-left:20px;
 padding-right:20px;
padding-top:10px;
}

#devicediv.content {
 padding-top:20px;
}

This gives 20px in Firefox and IE6, but 40px in  IE7. Any other way I
can get round it? I'd rather not change the markup, its  nice and
simple at the minute.

Cheers,
Rory
