Re: [css-d] ul - li width being ignored

2006-03-19 Thread Gunlaug Sørtun
Some correspondence have passed outside this list, and I have no idea
whether my responses got through or not. Not really my problem.

So, just to make this thread a bit more complete...

A simple and well-working solution is provided by Cem Meric...
-- Add some well-placed spaces in long, otherwise unbreakable, lines to
allow them to break where you want them to. --

You may also look at the CSS option demonstrated here...
http://www.brunildo.org/test/IEbreak-word.html
...which should work well in IE/win.

A bit more on the subject for IE/win...
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/workshop/author/dhtml/reference/properties/wordwrap.asp

I sometimes use a method I have described here...
http://www.gunlaug.no/homesite/main_8_3.html
...because it works the same in almost all browsers. It's a bit complex
and ugly though.

regards
Georg

The reason is, that the specification of CSS2.1 define it this way:

http://www.w3.org/TR/2005/WD-CSS21-20050613/visudet.html#the-width-property

First link doesn't have any space between the words. Try this instead
Allergy /Asthma /Breathing /Lung

Yes, that _is_ the problem - unless the browser happens to be Opera. No
reason to count on that.

Another minor css-related problem that should get some attention...

number of visitors to such a store.

Hi TMH-design,
I should have a look at the validators too.
The HTML-validator reports, apart from a lot of unescaped 's (and still 
empty href=), there are img-width's with a ';' in it: ... 
width=100px;. Browsers don't recognise the unity 'px;'.
The css-validator is going down for an html-error. When repaired, I 
guess the validator will warn for the 'UNKNOWN { height: auto; }', being 
not a class, nor an ID. (in the page itself, 'UNKNOWN' is heavily 
unknown in the code). ;-)

Greetings,
francky
