[css-d] Peekaboo bug - in Firefox??
Have a look at this page: http://srchc.ca/?q=node/80 The #wallpaper-inner div (blue area above the first large photo) contains, among other things, 15 divs creating the individual lines of light-blue text behind the Chinese Programs header. (We call this the wallpaper.) These 15 divs are absolutely positioned, one below the other. (Why extra wallpaper lines? In case users enlarge their font size and/or long headers run to several lines.) #wallpaper-inner has overflow:hidden to ensure that no wallpaper line appears beyond its edges. PROBLEM: This works on every title page on the site (e.g. Welcome!, About Us...) except this one. Clue (?): as soon as anything JavaScript-related occurs, the page reformats to spec -- the overflow becomes hidden again. This can be hovering over the nav menu on the left, or clicking around in Firebug. I knew about IE having peekaboo bugs, but Firefox? that's news to me. Please help. __ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/

Looks like one of those situations where 'hasLayout' triggers makes
things worse for the old Trident Engine, which IIRC is behind the
surface on both mentioned browsers. The trigger is probably
unavoidable though, so I suggest you change layout-method - using
float for the body-text container.
Add ...
#bodytext {float: right; margin: 0;}
... for ALL browsers - and leave other styles as is, and it should
turn out right.
Looking alright in my browsers once corrected.

[css-d] peekaboo bug? something else?
Good evening good people, you have been of much help to me in the past.
I'm confused, annoyed, etc.
I'm working on a page here: http://www.crisafidesign.com/ICS/laundry.html
it doesn't render correctly in AOL 9.0 and IE 6 on Windows 2000
according to browser cam (see here
http://www.browsercam.com/public.aspx?proj_id=352351 page 2)
I don't know if it's a peekaboo bug and it could be just general
confusion...I tried putting a hack if statement in the page (didn't
understand it too well),
* !--[if lte IE 6]
* style
* .gainlayout { height: 1px; }
* /style
* ![endif]--
but it didn't seem to change anything.
the style sheets are here:
http://www.crisafidesign.com/ICS/css/styles.css and
http://www.crisafidesign.com/ICS/css/menu.css (the lefthand menu is
an include).
Any help you could offer would be GREATLY appreciated.
TIA,
Rita Crisafi

[css-d] peekaboo bug in Safari?
I'm having a problem with Safari...first I've ever had. So far the other browsers are showing this page correctly...but In Safari, the picture and caption at the bottom left doesn't fully load. The W3 validators say the HTML passes, and the non-compliant IE hacks don't pass...but I really don't know any other way to handle those. Again, I'm updating info and adding pictures to an older site. These are sloppy in code, but they do work...just not elegantly like you guys can do. Any suggestions or hints as to the picture problem are GREATLY appreciated.

[css-d] Peekaboo Bug?? Please help...
Hello, I have been developing this site for a client, http://www.stockchildservices.co.uk/ and have been banging my head against the wall for days now because of an IE 6 error. All of the HTML and CSS validates fully and all appears well in Firefox and Opera, but when you view the page in IE6 the navigation on the left vanishes, until you hover over one of the links in the main body or the right hand column (but not the footer!). I have searched around, and am sure that this is an example of the Peekaboo bug, but I can not find the element that I need to apply the height fix to... If you look at the code, you will see I have been using conditional comments to try and isolate the fixes for IE and keep the extra CSS away from the other browsers. I have completely removed all of CSS that controls the menu, as I thought this might be interfering with the layout stuff, but it made no difference. If anyone could help with this I would be most gratefully. From a very frustrated Jon. -- Please avoid sending me Word or PowerPoint attachments.

[css-d] Peekaboo bug in header - can't find solution
Have a look at http://03.infocopa.com/ . In Internet Explorer (I tested with IE6), if you resize the window vertically, poof -- the purple area of the header disappears. The HTML validates, CSS 2.1 validates, and I have ensured that hasLayout is true for div#logo-area and _all_ its descendents. I don't know how else to prevent this from happening in IE. (All's fine in Firefox.) The site is slated to go live within the week, and having this problem right on the header is a real show-stopper. Thanks for your help!

In Firefox, I get a flicker when the page loads. In the past when I've had

Once I fixed that, no more flicker.

Actually I am on duty debugging your page. It's not reproducible on
a local copy at my end, so having a simplified page online would be
of help.
I noticed that the left menu
ul#leftnav li {width: 110px ...}
overflows its parent
div.navbar {width: 97px ...}
so that the cascade of overflow:hidden in the ancestors
div.navbar, div.Nav-Box, div.Page-Box
should be deleted for debugging via
*{overflow:visible !important;}
and
ul#leftnav
should be more stable with
zoom:1; applied.
let me know if it makes a difference.

I get the same freezing effect when changing the zoom levels in IE. As the page draws the header in, I'd look at the comments right before, and then the code pertaining to the main table you're using for layout (and the div enclosing it), followed by the code for that lefthand nav. I encountered a similar bug on my site which Ingo was thankfully able to isolate after much teeth gnashing. In my case it turned out to be the duplicate characters bug trying to apply itself to an empty div, causing some sort of infinite loop. That may not apply in your case, but I'd pay attention to those comments I mentioned above as a possible first step.

Well, it does look like the Peekaboo bug, but as you say, there seem to be several things in place that should fix it such as fixed width and height and position: relative in likely places, not to mention the Holly hack popping up here and there. Since your html doesn't validate, can't validate your CSS either. Perhaps this would be somewhere to start, since obvious causes elude detection? Best I can humbly offer is to consider what other elements could be triggering it, and put position: relative on everything with angle brackets...

Re: [css-d] Peekaboo bug?
Thank you to all who commented. This site is one of our templated sites from our Infosites group. They use the same code/CSS for all their sites, but something was disturbed with this new one. The issues about font size/zooming are something that I will have to investigate with our other sites in this category and talk to their design team about. (The designer of this particular site is on vacation so I was left with trying to help them with this.) I will try the fixes tomorrow and post back my results. Thank you again for all the help.

Well, it does look like the Peekaboo bug, but as you say, there seem to be several things in place that should fix it such as fixed width and height and position: relative in likely places, not to mention the Holly hack popping up here and there. Since your html doesn't validate, can't validate your CSS either. Perhaps this would be somewhere to start, since obvious causes elude detection? Best I can humbly offer is to consider what other elements could be triggering it, and put position: relative on everything with angle brackets...

Re: [css-d] Peekaboo bug?
Hi Jonathan, What I get here when I reload the page in IE6 is a crash. Once the initial load crashed the browser. The second time, the page loaded ok (probably from the cache) but when re-loaded the browser hung up after loading the header. In Firefox, I get a flicker when the page loads. In the past when I've had this problem, it was due to not having image heights and widths specified. Once I fixed that, no more flicker.

[css-d] peekaboo bug? and other oddities
hey all, i've been trying to work out some IE bugs for my css for a while now and I can't quite figure out how to fix it. I expect that the problem is the peekaboo bug, but I haven't been able to get the holly hack to work. i am using roger johansson's js custom boxes script to add drop shadows. in the menu and the content area, i am applying inverted drop shadows so that adjacent boxes will get a shadow effect. in the menu, i am getting disappearing links. in the content area, the white background is not being applied and is showing parts of images that should be covered. things look as they should in FF. I have also been having trouble with bottom spacing and margins that are getting much larger in IE than in other browsers. you will notice in both the content area and on the wrapper. link to the test space is below. help if you can! thanks. http://www.sccs.swarthmore.edu/users/07/jyamada1/cycle/index_fluid.html p.s. a final side problem is that I haven't been able to figure a way to get an offset on the border shadow on the right. any ideas would be appreciated! __ 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/

I would try to apply it to #content as well (this will trigger the MS float model, but should not have negative side effects.) hth, Bruno __ 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/
