[css-d] font-size in Firefox

2006-06-09 Thread john . e . guchemand

There is a little something I am having a problem with in Firefox, if you
can imagine that!  I was working on something that all needed to fit on one
page for printing, and it required the font-size to be pretty small (but
not unreadable, mind you).  I tried setting the font-size value to .5em,
which is smaller in IE6 than in Firefox (1.5.0.4).  So, I wanted it just a
tad bit smaller in Firefox, and set the value at .4.  Well nothing changed
(in Firefox).

Apparently .5em or 10px or 7pt is as small as the text will get in Firefox;
whereas in IE, you can even make it smaller than that (if you really needed
to).  I have also tried percentages and have gotten the same result.  It
seems like Firefox should be able to scale the font size down to whatever
you want, even if it would take a 50lb magnifying glass to read.  I assume
this is a possible bug on Mozilla's side (intentional?) Does anyone have
any insight into this?


Just to clarify,  I am not talking about setting my own user preferences in
Firefox, but actually setting the font size smaller with css in Firefox for
anyone looking at the page.

Cheers,

John

Thank you Nick and Philippe,

I appreciate your comments (and your humor).  I guess I was just checking
to see if there wasn't something in CSS that I wasn't aware of to make
things smaller.  I agree, the magnifying glass is probably not feasible.

Cheers,

John

[css-d] Laying out uls horizontally w/o float

2006-05-26 Thread john . e . guchemand

Hello all,

You all have been extremely helpful in the past, and I have my fingers
crossed for this one.  I hope I am just missing something.

I have the following html (for an orgchart - have changed the info to
protect the innocent):

ul id=admin
li0100  Rm  444  Administrative Office/li
liChief: Hewey Lewy/li
/ul

ul id=div_chief
li0400  Rm  436/li
liFrancisco Barney/li
liSam Sancisco/li
/ul

ul id=admin2
li0300  Rm  A4  Administrative Office #2/li
liSec: Bobby Fischer/li
li621-8142/li
liTarby L./li
liFrank Manny/li
/ul


And what I want is to have the uls displayed across the screen
horizontally, instead of falling one under the other (vertically).  I have
tried
ul {display:inline;}
but it doesn't seem to do anything.  I have also tried wrapping a div
(id=container) around the the uls, and then using the following
#container ul {display:inline;}
but also to no avail.

I am looking for a no-float solution.  I am avoiding floats on purpose
because of difficulties when printing.

Basically I just want to display these block elements inline.  Please tell
me what I am missing (it's probably right under my nose...).

Thank you in advance,

John

Yes, but that is not what I am after.  I mean I don't want to lis to be
displayed inline; I want the uls to be displayed inline.

Thanks,

John

And did you also try
li  {display:inline;} ?

Re: [css-d] wordpress OEM footer (Brian Cummiskey)

2006-03-29 Thread john . e . guchemand
Hello Brian,

Just from a quick glance, your footer postion is 1 px to the right of the
elements above it.  For example, div #content .narrowcolumn is positioned
let's say 12 px from the left, and your footer is 13 px from the left.  I
haven't tested this, but my first try would be changing the footer CSS to:


#footer {

 padding: 0;

 margin: 0 auto;

 width: 760px;

 clear: both;

 }

Instead of:

#footer {

 padding: 0 0 0 1px;

 margin: 0 auto;

 width: 760px;

 clear: both;

 }


I hope it works!

John

Re: [css-d] wordpress OEM footer (Brian Cummiskey)

Hi Brian,

Now it appears to be off in IE.  Sorry.  I guess that wasn't the solution.
I must say I am at a loss to say why this is happening, but I'm sure
someone on this list could help out.

It looks like IE is interpreting the padding differently than Mozilla.
Hmm, I don't really have time to really get into it today;  I might try
googling it, or taking out the footer padding (as you did), and then adding
1 to the left margin to see if that produces anything different.

Good luck!

John
