[css-d] Drupal Themer ...

2009-11-05 Thread Tim Ware
I hope this isn't too off-topic or a disallowed topic, but

First, I’m interested to know if anyone can recommend any developer(s)  
skilled in creating themes for Drupal 6 – we have an immediate need  
for additional resources along these lines, and would be interested in  
speaking to anyone who fits that bill (particularly from developers in  
the San Francisco Bay Area).

Second, does anyone know of any listservs or similar resources  
dedicated to Drupal theme creation? We regularly follow discussions on  
Drupal.org for updates to modules, discussion of bugs etc, but  
wondering if there are any communities out there that focus more  
specifically on Drupal’s presentation layer? Would love to hear any  
recommendations!

Thanks for any help here.

Tim

I'm not sure what you want me to look at. I looked at this page on  
your site:

http://www.svendtofte.com/code/max_width_in_ie/

in IE 6, and I see the same issue of disappearing link background  
image, under "The Useability Studies", the linked text: "The Effect  
of Line Lengths in Children and Adults' Online Reading Performance"   
allocates the space for your background arrow, but doesn't display it.

so if you have something you want to communicate, so far I'm missing it.

Thanks, and sorry if I'm being dense!

In order to have the 2nd link's background image display, I needed to  
add "display:inline-block" to this style:

a.checkbox {
background: transparent url(/healthcare/_img/Pencil.gif) no-repeat  
100% 50%;
padding-right:20px;
display:inline-block;
}

I googled around and found the solution here:

[css-d] link image background problem w/IE 6 (natch)

2007-11-16 Thread Tim Ware
I created a link class to have a background image on linked text  
where needed:

a.checkbox {
background:url(/healthcare/_img/Pencil.gif) no-repeat 100% 50%;
padding-right:20px;
}

The above adds a checkbox to the right of the linked text, and it  
works fine everywhere but IE 6 and 7 where, if there are two links in  
a paragraph with that class assigned -- and the two blocks of linked  
text wrap to separate lines -- the first link displays the image and  
the second link allocates the space/padding, but doesn't display the  
image.

This can be seen here:  http://www.opa.ca.gov/healthcare/use-plan/ 
disability-assistance.aspx

Here's the full HTML including the the floated div  (with the image  
and paragraph underneath) that forces the text to wrap, and the text  
that is to the left of the floated div:

This exam table  
can be raised and lowered, so it is easier to get on and off.  
Accessible tables such as this one are becoming more common. 

  If you have a disability, your health plan must remove most  
physical or communication barriers that make it hard for you to get  
the care you need. Call your health plan and be firm about what you  
need.

Use the worksheets on physical access and communication assistance to list the access or  
services you need.

If the two links are in separate paragraphs, then no problem. If the  
two links are on one line, no problem. But if they break to separate  
lines, no second image.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Tim

[css-d] Shining examples of CSS-driven nonprofit & corporate sites?

2006-10-15 Thread Tim Ware
I'm working on a project where I'm doing the coding/programming for a  
company that has hired a designer who is really print-based and  
doesn't have a clue about modern design. They ask that I provide  
examples of this approach to design. I need help with this. It's not  
as easy as I thought to find good examples, but I'll bet y'all can  
point me to some.

ohmygod. That was a test during high frustration. It relates to

[css-d] Using divs & transparent corners for rounded images... but

2006-10-03 Thread Tim Ware
I am having a problem with this page:

http://help.hyperarts2.com/papilia/

Near the bottom is a brown empty image.

The basic idea of what I'm trying to do is have a div (.roundimg)  
that contains an image tag (both the div & image with no dimensions  
specified), and 4 divs that are absolutely positioned in each corner  
(.roundimg is positioned relative). The 4 corner divs have a  
background image that is a rounded corner with transparency so that  
the image in .roundimg displays with rounded corners. For some  
reason, the .roundimg is getting pushed out on the right about 10px,  
messing up the concept.

.roundimg {
border:0; margin:0; padding:0;
position:relative;
float:right;
}


Then the html:



The top-l, top-r, etc. divs are positon-absolute at the four corners  
and they contain an aliased rounded corner to create the rounded  
corner effect on the image. Styled:

.top-l, .top-r, .bot-l, .bot-r {
position:absolute;
width:12px; height:12px;
}

.top-l {
background:transparent 
url(/papilia/_img/top-l.gif) no-repeat;
top:0; left:0;
}

.top-r {
background:transparent 
url(/papilia/_img/top-r.gif) no-repeat;
top:0; right:0;
}

.bot-l {
background:transparent 
url(/papilia/_img/bot-l.gif) no-repeat;
bottom:0; left:0;
}

.bot-r {
background:transparent 
url(/papilia/_img/bot-r.gif) no-repeat;
bottom:0; right:0;
}


For some reason, if I don't specifiy a width for the .roundimg div,  
you see the result, with the div being expanded about 10px wider than  
the image that's in it. Here's a link to the css:

http://help.hyperarts2.com/papilia/_inc/papilia.css

I'm so close to getting this sorted out. Thanks so much for any  
assistance!

Tim

[css-d] IE 6 - dropdowns over flash require double click

2006-06-26 Thread Tim Ware
There are the usual dropdown-over-flash issues with Safari etc., but  
this one should work in IE 6 and it's not.

You can see it at

http://help.hyperarts2.com

http://help.hyperarts2.com /_inc/

to see css and javascript

Any ideas how to not have the doubleclick issue? I'd prefer a single  
click.

Thanks!

[css-d] CSS/JS dropdowns and IE 6 (so close...)

2006-06-11 Thread Tim Ware
Hello,

I'm using CSS/JavaScript dropdowns here:

http://help.hyperarts2.com/

and they work perfectly everywhere except IE 6, and they *almost*  
work with IE 6!

CSS:
http://help.hyperarts2.com/_inc/nav.css

JavaScript:
http://help.hyperarts2.com/_inc/main.js

The other styles are in the head of the index page, for now.

Basically, it's this structure:

 (just a top graphic)

 

position: relative
no z-index



Contains the horizontal nav (position: relative) and the dropdowns  
(position: absolute; z-index: 10;)

position: relative;
z-index:21;



Contains only an image

No positioning
No z-index

The dropdowns are "hidden" until activated by a rollover which  
triggers the javascript. If the user mouses down below the dropdowns,  
they're turned off by a "nodrop()" function which hides all.

I've tried to use a onmouseout event on the dropdowns themselves to  
hide them, but it just doesn't work. And this way does work, almost.

If I get rid of the image in the "flash" div, then IE 6 is happy and  
a rollover hides the dropdowns. With the image there, it activates  
the hiding while the user is still mousing over the dropdowns.

An article I read here:
http://www.aplus.co.yu/css/z-pos/index.php

was helpful in setting the z-indexes to make IE 6 happy.

So it's just the presence of the image that causes the browser to put  
the "flash" div above the dropdowns.

The way out will be most appreciated!

Finally, if there's a way to keep the active state on the top-level  
nav when mousing over the dropdown, that would be great.

Tim

[css-d] aligning bullets with IE 6

2006-05-26 Thread Tim Ware
We have a simple unordered list and, with Win IE 6 only, the text for  
each list item is about .2em lower than the bullet which is a  
graphical bullet thats 3px square with no border on the image.

We've adjusted the padding, margins, etc., and nothing lets them work.

Thanks.

[css-d] CSS horizonal main menu with dropdown horizontal menu (*not* vertical)

2006-05-24 Thread Tim Ware
Can someone point me to best pure-css dropdown menu.

It has to be one where the top nav items are horizontal and the  
dropdown is spawned below them and can be wider than the spawning  
list item.

I suspect this is a bit more complicated because of the width  
difference between the main and the dropdown menus. Maybe done with  
show/hide visibility?

Thanks!

Tim

[css-d] Lock down some text sizes

2006-05-15 Thread Tim Ware
Yes, I know it's frowned upon, but I'm coding a site for a client/ 
designer and persuaded them to use CSS/HTML for their navigation, but  
we *definitely* need to lock down the file size for the navigation or  
it breaks the design. I've tried using "pt" and "xx-small" which are  
supposedly absolute values, but FireFox just resizes the text if it's  
increased through the browser interface.

How can I specify a font size that's bulletproof as regards  
increasing the browser's text size?

Thanks.

[css-d] Combining class and id in style sheet bug IE6

2006-05-14 Thread Tim Ware
I have a div class called "content3"

I have created an ID called "portfolio"

In the style sheet, I have

.content3 {
rules...
}

and for a different page:

.content3#portfolio {
rules...
}

IE 6 ignore all the rules in .content3#portfolio

If I create an entire new ID, rather than have a class/ID combo, all  
is well with IE6.

But I *don't* want to do that because a number of pages share the  
basic rules of .content3, with each being somewhat varied and  
requiring an ID for the specifics of that page.

What am I missing?

Thanks!

[css-d] 2-column liquid layout - one div fixed

Hello,

What's the best way to have a 2-column layout where the left div is  
fixed at 475px and the right div stretches to accommodate the viewport?

I tried setting the left to 475px and the right div using  
percentages, but this isn't working.

There must be a better solution that using a table!

Thanks.

[css-d] Help with page height...

2005-08-14 Thread Tim Ware

http://help.hyperarts2.com/

stylesheet: http://help.hyperarts2.com/_inc/main.css

I am so close to nailing this page, but the content is going beyond  
the container. I'm sort of twisted up in positioning absolute/ 
relative and hopefully some knowledgeable soul can set this right.


If the viewport is tall enough, there isn't a problem. But if the  
content in the white area extends beyond the fold, and you scroll  
down, you'll see the problem, a pretty  common one, I suspect.


Please take a look and let me know where the problem might lie.

Thanks so much.
