Looks like you require someone to help you with the back-end, as well:

Bad Gateway

The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server.

Additionally, a 502 Bad Gateway error was encountered while trying to 
use an ErrorDocument to handle the request

Are you sure about the port? Trying it without the port, it times out.

Re: [css-d] table cell and position absolute/relative

Does any of this sound familiar? Is there some other way to cause the

 use margin properties to bump it in place.
 

Works like a charm! I did, indeed, have left  top set. Luckily, i was 
forced to put that aside for a few days while i worked on something 
else. Now, i needn't muck about for another solution.

Thanks, Paul.

Re: [css-d] FIR header with anchor

2006-03-08 Thread brian ally

Further to the the problem of using image replacement, yet requiring an 
anchor, Thierry Koblentz sent me the following link offlist:

http://www.tjkdesign.com/articles/tip.asp

The last version worked for me, though i put the text inside the anchor, 
rather than leave it empty. Works for me, and i don't understand why it 
was left outside in the first place. I also set the font size to .1em 
(from 1em) and changed the colour to the same as the banner bg. I had to 
do that because the logo is a 24-bit transparent PNG. I'll play with it 
some more to see if i can avoid even that.

Works, in any case.

[css-d] FIR header with anchor

2006-03-07 Thread brian ally
I'n using an image replacement technique for my headers. I had wanted to 
use the same technique for a site's logo in the top banner as well, but 
have run into validation issues with XHTML 1.0 Transitional DTD.

The problem is that the logo must be wrapped by an anchor linking back 
to the front page (the nav is always available, but the client insists, 
and i agree, in any case, that banner logos should do this, if 
possible). But the height:0 rule causes the anchor to collapse as 
well, of course. So simply wrapping the anchor around the header text 
doesn't work.

In order for the header to be clickable, i must wrap the anchor around 
the header. But that won't validate because then i've got a block 
element inside of an inline element.

This is how the replacement is set up:

div id=banner
   a href=/ title=blah blahh1my logo text/h1/a
/div

/* \*/
#banner h1 {
display: block;
overflow: hidden;
background-image: url(/images/logo.png);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
width: 405px;
padding-top: 25px;
height: 25px;
voice-family: \}\;
voice-family: inherit;
height: 0px;
}
/**/

I've tried marking it up properly, and then adding:

#banner h1 a
{
   display: block;
   min-width: 405px;
   min-height: 25px;
}

to no avail. Does anyone have a suggestion? I'm willing to try other 
replacement techniques, though this one has served me very well in the past.

Re: [css-d] Using the DOM to update a DIV height

2005-07-25 Thread brian ally
The PROBLEM:  When I use JavaScript to update a div's height, it works good 
in IE, Moz, FF,  Opera.  However, the offsetHeight does not seem to 
update correctly in FF  Opera.


Thus, the CSS border-left and border-right properties do not update 
correctly and I end up with a partially naked central content section.  Just 
have not been able to find a fix!


You can see an example of this at:
  http://www.la5ta.com/qm14/english/beach-life.htm

Note that the side borders of the central div stop 1/2 way.  That is 
because, after I update the div.style.height, it resizes correctly.  
However, internally, the div.offsetHeight remains unchanged, and it would 
appear that this is what limits the borders from getting redrawn correctly.


The issue is the float: left you have on #Content p and #Content img. By 
doing that you've allowed them to escape the Content. You could either 
find a different way to mark them up to retain the look you have or you 
could try something like this:


#Content:after {
  content: .;
  display: block;
  height: 0;
  clear: both;
  visibility:hidden;
}

That serves to pull down #Content to once again contain the floats which 
have escaped it.


HTH,

Re: [css-d] transparency in IE

2005-06-05 Thread brian ally

I would like to make a transparency for this pages background for IE6 ?
I tried it and get a gray BG in IE.

site :   http://www.rockstar4u.com/index.html


Try this (recognized by IE only):

* html body {
  background: none;
  filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.\
AlphaImageLoader(src='/graphics/musicsheet_1.png',\
sizingMethod='image');
}

The backslashes (\) show where i've broken the lines for email 
formatting. Get rid of those.

Re: [css-d] Firefox :hover bug?

I'm having trouble isolating/working  around a seeming :hover bug in  
Firefox. If you look at my site's navigation bar[1], the tabs  
disappear when you hover over the list. 


Just FYI, it works fine for me with linux/mozilla 1.7.5, OS X/moz 1.6, 
OS X/FF 1.0.4
