Hello All,
Thank you for your responses Ist off
Thanks Christian Heilmann I've applied your
changes to test2 and now opera, netscape and
Firefox all look good and identical, but if
you now look at it with ie6 you will see why 
I made %%left%% position: absolute. 

I think David Laakso has a sound idea to 
"code to good browsers, and hack IE" So now
(before I try floats 'Thanks Gunlaug') If I push ie6
off to the side and start with Christians solution
which works in just about everything else, I am now
left with the problem of how to hack ie6 
(a lot of people use it). I'ts clearly obvious to me 
now not to learn css using ie, its just going to give me
all the wrong ideas.

One thought is to put the %%left%% div in the document
head, detect which browser I am in and select absolute or
relative accordingly. This might be possible using
Javascript but could there be a simpler way? I will of
course look into using floats but want to stick with it
and hak ie6 without breaking the other browsers.

any ideas will be most welcome. Thanks again for the help.
this is knocking so much time off the learning curve for me.

[css-d] IE Fix Needed - REPOST

2005-10-13 Thread Rahul Gonsalves
Posted this earlier - thank you to Jim, who helped out with problems 1 
and 2. I need to get this site working today, and it needs to look good 
in IE 6 at the very least.


Dear All:

I'm having a couple of problems with a page in IE.

The page in question:
http://janaagraha.org/rahul/John/

Mockup - What I'm trying to achieve: (warning: >100kb)
http://www.flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne?id=51803913&size=o

Problems:
1. FIXED
2. FIXED

IE-Specific:
3. I've put the text after the coloured boxes for the third and fourth 
navigation elements. This is causing the text to come on the right, not 
smoothly go to the next line like I'd like it to.
4. The whole page has shifted a *lot* more to the right in IE, compared 
to FF, noticeable at resolutions above 800*600. Is this because of the 
incorrect interpretation of the box model?


Opera 8.50:
5. Problem 3 applies here as well. This causes only one of the boxes 
(news) to drop down to the next line.


Firefox so far displays it closest to what I'm trying to do.

All other suggestions welcome. I'd appreciate hearing from all of you 
about what you think of the site (page, really), design, and code. I 
know I've got too many div tags in there, any suggestions on how to cut 
them down would be welcome.



Thanks a lot,
Warmly,
Rahul.

Note: All browsers XPSP2.

Re: Need more help Was: [css-d] List with hover background images

2005-10-13 Thread Christian Heilmann
A url might make things a lot easier.

Generally you can only keep a padding when the link breaks into a new
line when you set the background image on the parent element of the
link, in this case the LI. Then you apply the hover effect to the LI
and not to the link and all is fine. You could do this in CSS2
browsers without JS, but for MSIE you need JS.

An  example is the left hand nav I did here:

[css-d] Strange IE Link behaviour

2005-10-13 Thread Ingo Chao



In the middle of the page in the green box, the list of subsections.  When
you mouse over them the hand does not change to signify a link.  Clicking on
the images doesnt not trigger the link, only clicking on the text, even
though the link started before the image and ends after the text.

http://cmc.vanguardia.co.uk/products/section-home.asp?SectionID=6



Marc, do you need these dimensions in IE?

#subsections ul li .imgspan { height: 88px; width: 88px; ... }

With these dimensions, haslayout=true somewhat disconnects the 
mouseevent, I fear.

Cept for me, on Windows, Arial Narrow is less narrow than normal Arial, OS X

[css-d] CSS and select boxes - two questions

2005-10-13 Thread ian

Hi all,

I've been reading on this list for a while now, taking my time before 
opening my mouth :)


I came across an interesting problem last night, while skinning the front 
end of a tool we're going to be using here at work. I created a mock-up 
design which you can view here 
(http://prezence.servehttp.com/10min/mockup.png) and as you can see what I 
want to do is style a multi-select box. I did a bit of reading about select 
boxes, and to my shock and horror I discovered that I won't be able to style 
the border of the .


That is, of course, unless someone here knows a workaround other than the 
"replace it all with images and hide the original element" one (I can't 
remember the link or title of this concept, but I think it's fairly well 
known).


My second question relates to styling the "selected" items in the list, 
using a red background colour (depicted in the mockup) as opposed to the 
default blue background+white text that IE+FF defaults to. I don't have the 
original code here (writing this mail from the office) but the closest I 
came, testing in Firefox, was using something along the lines of the 
following: (being CSS2, IE didn't have a clue, but it worked in Gecko).


Assuming the markup of the left multi-select was something like the 
following:



   News
   Gigs
   Galleries
   Tours
   Biography
   Releases


and the CSS:

select.modules option[selected] {
   background-color: #F00;\
   color: white;
}

This had the odd effect that elements that were set as selected in the HTML 
would be properly styled (as long as they were not "currently" selected). I 
also tried


select.modules option:hover {
   background-color: pink;
   color: white;
}

to see if it would work. All of this is well and fine, but no matter what 
else I tried (option:active, element has focus?) I couldn't seem to crack 
this one.


Does anyone have any ideas? I'm stumped.

Thanks!

I know someone on this list, Christian Heilman, I think, has a

Christian or whoever will chime in with the link.  I don't have it,

long ago. :-)


My second question relates to styling the "selected" items in the

Actually, that's not necessarily what it defaults to.  On my PC, the 
highlight color is a lovely light olive green, because that's the color 
scheme I set for the OS (can't stand that bright XP blue!).  So, the 
look of the select box is largely controlled by the OS, and thus there's 
not much you can do with CSS to change how it looks.

It does not really act the same, as you cannot navigate it with cursor
keys, and is not really applicable to his problem.

Amen. I also replied off list that a multiselect dropdown control is a
usability nightmare as it works differently on different user agents /
operating systems and that a nice replacement is a checkbox list. With
the proper labels on the elements it works almost the same and can be
styled easily.

If I get the time I will do an example for that

Re: [css-d] Please help ie box hack question

2005-10-13 Thread Zoe M. Gillenwater

Carol F. Swinehart wrote:


I just started doing css sites and the box hack is messing me up.






Can it be applied to % - I know what % works in IE  so can I use the % 
there or do I have to calculate the actual px???



You can use a box model hack if the box has its width set in a 
percentage, but if the padding is set in pixels, it's kind of pointless.


When using a box model hack, you add the padding and borders on to the 
width and feed this value to WinIE5.  However, if these values don't use 
the same unit, you have no way of knowing what they add up to be.  For 
instance, if your content area is 70% with 10px right and left padding, 
the width you need to feed it is:

70% + 10px + 10px = ?
Who knows what that adds up to be?  You could guess and say perhaps 75%, 
but that would just be a guess.


A better option is to avoid the box model hack altogether by not 
applying width and padding to the same box.  Instead, apply margin to 
the elements inside the box, or even nest one div inside another, the 
outer with the width set and the inner with the padding set.




My biggest problem is with applying the *html .whatever somewhere in 
my stylesheet to correct this problem



Perhaps it's because you've forgotten the space between the * and html?  
It should look like this:


* html .whatever { /* only IE, Win and Mac, sees this rule */ }

There's a relatively simple solution that will work in most browsers, big
exception being IE/mac:

.wrapper {display:table-row;}
.foo {display:table-cell;}

then for IE/win:

* html .wrapper {
display:block;
clear:left;
}
* html .foo {
float:left;
width:40px;
display:inline; /* float bug squashing */
}

You can rely on IE/win's hasLayout to make sure each .foo is rectangular.

Note that, in CSS2 browsers, to use this type of float layout you'd also
need to provide incrementally large (0, 40px, 80px, et.al.) left margins on
each .foo to keep them from wrapping around each other.  Lucky for us, CSS2
browsers can just use the table display properties.

Now, if IE/mac is a must, you'll have to use the float method described
below, and each successive .foo will need a left margin 40px more than the
last.

print.css should always be the last style sheet in the list.  Otherwise 
anything after it that calls #printheader will override print.css. 
(hence cascading!)


From viewing the source on

  @import 
url(/css/main.css);	
  href="/css/main2.css" title="main2" />
  title="main" />

  

  @import

move the media="print" /> to be the very last style referenced.

Re: [css-d] Print Style not winning

Adctually, you are looking at the main.css for that entire site, not for the

stylesheet linking you site below, In IE, main.css isn't overriding 
print.css with respect to #printheader as you point out that it should.  It 
is however being overridden in Gecko - probably rightfully so.

[css-d] CSS for shadows around thumbnails (tight wrap of DIV around image)

I'm trying to accomplish a drop-shadow effect on a table of image  
thumbnails.  I have looked at various ways of doing this (especially  
ALA's articles) and they all seem to use float: to wrap the DIV  
tightly around the image.


My thumbnail generator puts the images into a TABLE, so I am tied to  
that HTML construct.  I want my images centered horizontally within  
the cell.  If I float: left or right I lose that centering.  Without  
the float:, the DIV expands to fill the table cell.  Since the  
thumbnails are in both landscape and portrait orientation, the width  
of an image can vary.


Sample page:
http://www.ashep.com/test/shadow/thumbnail.html

Simply put, I want a DIV that wraps tightly around a linked image  
that is centered within a TD.  Or something equivalent.  But the  
markup has to be in a table.

[css-d] Opera family has a ghost...


Hi all,

I'm currently designing a page using a vertical centering (*) method to 
place some text in the middle of a box.
All browsers do their job pretty well except all the Opera family ( 7.5 
> 8.5 ) wich is pushing the text 1 or 2 pixels down.

The problem is particulary visible in boxes with small heights.
Is this a known problem ?

Guillaume.

[css-d] Site Check: Internet Exploder Web madness


Hi all,
Thanks for the great list. I'm delurking in the hopes that you guys might
have some advice.

I've posted a new page design for my employer (corp. ID  removed for
nondisclosure reasons).

http://www.geocities.com/jimcomx/1012.htm

As expected, it's behaving...

* well in Firefox for windows.
* Somewhat OK in Safari for mac: unexplained margin problems w/ menu
  under corp. logo.
* IE for Windows: not so much. (see below)


Specifically: in IE 6 Win., the 'search' div in the bottom of the
leftnav is not lining up w/ the footer as it does in Firefox. Also,
it's breaking the box in which it resides, revealing the torrid green
div beneath. Any ideas on what box model problem is causing this?

I'm sadly acquainted w/ IE box model hacks and could code around the
problem if I knew what it was, but as it is, I'm stumped.

Any help with root of Safari menu problem would be appreciated as well.

thanks in advance
Jim

[css-d] Strange IE Link behaviour

The problem does indeed lie with the height and width declarations of the
span elements inside the link tag.

What I am trying to achieve is this.

I would like the images to align along the row at the bottom of each image. 
I would also like the text to align up to the bottom of the image.  So there
is a common line through the row.

I am struggling to achieve this without splitting the link tag, which I dont
really want to do.

Anyone got any ideas?

Marc

[css-d] Ensure no wrap for div content?


Hi all

is there a way to stop the image on the right from wrapping down  
when the browser window is resized smaller in the following link



http://www.rollandburn.com/css-d/nsep/index.php

i have read a few suggestions, two of which are adding  a "white- 
space: nowrap;" and/or a "min-width: " to my div#headerand if  
those dont work then adding a transparent gif the as wide as the  
header to the div.



Also, as you can probably tell i'm still learning cssaside from  
this particular issue, is the method i have used to display this  
stretching header appropriate (divs in divs)?

Re: [css-d] CSS and select boxes - two questions

Welcome!  You should know, though, that you started this thread 
incorrectly -- you replied to an existing message instead of sending a new 
message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]  So, your message got threaded on 
to the old thread, which messes up the archives and makes it less likely 
that others will see your message and subsequently

reply to you.  Just a word of warning for next time!


Thanks for the heads up - I must admit I was a bit lazy in finding the mail 
address, so I thought I'd just start with a blank reply to one of the 
previous messages. I didn't realise that the list software is clever enough 
to pick that up!


Thanks to all who replied :)

The example that Chris Akers sent me off-list 
(http://neb.net/nlog/2005/04/14/what-a-drop/) is going to work perfectly for 
what I need, except that it's also gonna have to code some clever 
JavaScripting to automatically pull the  values and put it in hidden 
checkboxes or something to allow me to save the user's selection. Perhaps 
I'll put the id's that I need to pass into the form, in the id attribute of 
each .


I'm thinking to put each ul in a div with a set width and height, and set 
overflow-y to scroll, thus sort of imitating the behavior of the 
multi-select. The size of the mock-up is going to be limited, so once there 
is too much data in either column, it's going to need to scroll.

It is a very sexy example, however without JavaScript, there is no
functionality at all...
Also, you need to explain how to use the system, and you make yourself
dependent on a mouse.

Luckily the user base for the application is quite limited (at least for the 
time being) and will be (mostly) Windows PC based, so that helps. Most PC's 
nowadays come with mice ;)


Unfortunately, in trying to make an application such as this one as 
user-friendly as possible, accessibility and backwards-compatibility kinda 
goes out the window .. it's a trade-off between the two. I normally try and 
use JavaScript only as a fallback option, but in this case it's going to 
need it.


I'll stop here before going too much off-topic.

RE: [css-d] Strange IE Link behaviour

 Sorry,

I thought it would get tagged with my earlier post.

URL: http://cmc.vanguardia.co.uk/products/section-home.asp?SectionID=19

It now looks roughly how I wanted it to look, though achieved through a
strange solution.

Original Problem:

--

Evening all,

Has anyone seen this before?

This page should be valid HTML 4.01 Strict, and the CSS is valid.  Which
makes me think a funny quirk I have never seen before is responsible.

In the middle of the page in the green box, the list of subsections.  When
you mouse over them the hand does not change to signify a link.  Clicking on
the images doesnt not trigger the link, only clicking on the text, even
though the link started before the image and ends after the text.

It works OK for me in firefox.

http://cmc.vanguardia.co.uk/products/section-home.asp?SectionID=6

Any help of shedding some light on the problem would be greatly appreciated.

Project nowhere near finished, so dont be too worried about any other
problems.



The problem was a span within an link tag that had a width and height
declaration.  This was to position the text and the image correctly.

Current Solution:

The current solution is very light on code, but I'm not sure about it, as
the page will not benefit from the images and their associated search engine
/ content value. But that's another argument entirely!  It fits ok with
accessibility, as really the links are aestetic only.

The list object has the dashed border, and the link inside is sized to
expand the link to fill the list object.  The text has a large amount of
padding to push it down the object allowing the image to show through.  The
image is a background property of the link, written dynamically into some
inline CSS.

I am fairly happy with the solution, though not completely sold.

Any thoughts?

Thanks

Marc

Yes. Since it's a float you can just add:
#headerRight {margin-left: -300px;}
...or some other suitable value.

If you then also reverse the order of 'headerRight' and 'headerLeft' in
source-code, it'll behave as well as it can without a 'min-width' on
'header'.

Re: [css-d] Ensure no wrap for div content?

I think a better solution would be to take the second header div out of the
group, and then absolute position it on the page, so it sits on top of the
other stuff. You can do:

   

 

Then:

#headerright { position:absolute; top:0; right:0; }

It will then naturally be on top of everything else, and not wrap like that.

[css-d] rounded corners

Hi,

I've reviewed some rounded corner tutorial and think
I'd like to develope a site using this technique. 


I've only used existing .gif/or .psd files to create
the rounded corners effect. I'd like to create my own
color (and hense my own file) instead of someone
elses.

Has anyone ever created there own rounded shapes? If
so, how do I know how small or big to create the shape
and what I can do to create a shadow effect?

Yes, and that's what I tried *not* to do, so to avoid more overlapping
than necessary. Looking slightly better with '#headerRight' behind
'#headerLeft' on narrow windows, IMO.

Always good to have choices though :-)

I got tired of image-shaped corners a long time ago, and now I've even
got tired of rounded corners :-)


...ready for the trash can, but can be recreated in all shapes and sizes.

FWIW: Adding elements through javascript can make the markup perfectly
clean, but I never got around to that. Never got around to adding shades
either.

[css-d] list styling


Hello there,

I'm new to the list and appreciate in advance any assistance with this.

A client of mine has a list to display of about 300 magazine titles. I'd 
like to set these up for her using CSS lists so they can be in columns. 
The problem is the way in which CSS sorts the list into columns. 
Although I have not begun development for my client yet, you can see a 
similar example of what I mean on this page:


http://www.m2webstudios.com/index.php/portfolio/category/C46/

if you look near the bottom, you will notice a list of projects. These 
are sorted alphabetically by a backend CMS, however, if you notice, the 
alphabetization goes /across/ the 3 columns rather than down. I would 
like for my list's columns to be alphabetized vertically, rather than 
horizontally. Basically, I'd like to modify, if possible, the way the 
list tags SORT list items.


For the example I just showed, I am using this code (erroneous styling 
omitted like colors omitted for brevity):


ul{
list-style-type: none;
}

li{
float:left;
padding-left: 12px;
width:150px;
}

Using float: left and a width on my li is what makes it into columns. 
Does anyone see a way for me to make the list items order vertically in 
each column rather than across? A list is the most ideal solution for me 
because my client may add more magazine titles to the list, and this way 
the information in columns will be evenly disbursed automatically. If I 
just create classes of columns for her (e.g. .col1, col2, .col3) floated 
left, she will have to manually adjust the content of each column as her 
number of magazine titles grow. Utilizing a list will enable her to 
simply add a list item and have the columns resort themselves accordingly.


Thank you!
Reese

[css-d] Bug or standards compliant? Applied margins to an inner div cause outer div to weirdly collapse if it has no borders.


Dear list,

I have been working around this behaviour (bug?) for quite some time 
now. I can't take it anymore :) Let me explain. Or better yet give you a 
barebones example. Please have a look at the fully commented testcase I 
have here:


http://www.digitale-wertschoepfung.de/test/margin-kills-background.html

I hope you can understand what my problem is here. Now, is this the 
expected behaviour for standard compliant modern browsers? Where is it 
documented? (I wouldn't know how to search for this problem). Do I have 
to use borders at all cost? I don't want to use position: absolute or 
fixed dimensions either. And naturally I want to avoid padding on the 
outer div as well. I have worked around this for at least 15 in the last 
times year by simply applying borders, but I want to finally understand 
what is going on here.

This is the same thing without javascript but alot more markup in the

I have found this to be the most robust way of doing rounded corners

[css-d] Vertical alignment

Hi,
 
I’m trying to vertical-align the button to the middle of the textbox
http://www.selfinflicted.org/css/quick.html
 
but since the vertical-align css is based on the elements parent, it
doesn’t position as wanted. As you can see from the HTML, I’m
trying to keep it a simple as possible and reply on the natural
wrapping of the contents to position the links below the textbox.
 
Any suggestion on how to change the css / markup to get what
I want? Don’t mind the border and background color on the wrap
div – it’s for illustrational purpose only =)

[css-d] In search of 2-column, fluid, equal length layout.

Browsing around in the wiki, none of the fluid two column layouts seem
to have equal length.

What I'm looking for is:
Two content columns, equal width, % based with % gutter. (see my
current css below): Left column to come first in source, either column
may contain more content.
Browsers are in strict mode.

* {margin 0; padding 0;}
#left {
border: 1px solid #fff; width: 44%; float: left; margin: 2%;
}
#left h2 {
font-family: geneva,arial,'lucida sans', sans-serif; color:#fff;
background: url(../img/left_h2.png); text-align: center;
position: relative; top: -7px; left: -7px; width: 225px; height: 30px;
font-size: 21px; line-height:28px;
}
#right {
border: 1px solid #fff; width: 44%;margin: 2%;float: left;
}
#right h2 {
font-family: geneva,arial,'lucida sans', sans-serif; color:#fff;
background: url(../img/right_h2.png) no-repeat; text-align: center;
position: relative; top: -7px; left: -7px; width: 225px; height: 30px;
font-size: 21px; line-height:28px;
}
I was surprised at how much % slack was needed for IE6 to provide for
the 4px of borders.

Second question:
Both columns will have a min width, either set via css or determined by content.
When this causes the right column to drop below the left, I would like
both columns to expand to use all available width (roughly 95%). Is
this possible? With or without javascript?

Just to make things really fun, I'd like to nest a similar pair of
expandable floats inside one of the columns.

Diane,

> 

I've run into similar problems when using csshover.htc. IE seems
especially picky about the path when using "behavior" (I don't know why).
Specifying an absolute path worked for me. Have you tried that?

In your case this might be:

body {behavior: url(/dallas/csshover.htc);}

Also, if memory serves, putting this in a conditional comment is
unnecessary because only IE will recognize the (invalid) behavior and
download the file. Other browsers ignore that style rule. But better read
the autho'rs page to verify this.

Position:absolute /does/ eliminate the collapsing, but you're right,
relative doesn't.  This may be a corner of the spec that few, if any,
browsers have implemented.

This property defaults to "baseline" so although your #button is in the
middle, #search is still on the baseline.

Add vertical-align:middle; to #search as well, or simply:
#wrap input {vertical-align:middle;} to handle both.

> but since the vertical-align css is based on the elements parent

It's not based on #wrap, but rather the first /line box/ in #wrap.  The
specs call the line box a "strut" (I've removed bits as it applies to your
situation): 

"The following values only have meaning with respect to ... the strut of a
parent block-level ... element."

Scott,

That seems odd, I wonder if you have somehow written the
declaration wrong and gotten the system default sans-serif
in place of the intended Arial Narrow?

I just made a quick test case in a local file and used the
following to see how it looks.

CSS
.arialnarrow  {font-family: "Arial Narrow";}
.arial{font-family: arial;}
.sansserif{font-family: sans-serif;}

Markup
Text sample here.
Text sample here.
Text sample here.

This behaved as I would have expected, with Arial Narrow
being very markedly condensed compared to the other two.

What happens if you use Arial Narrow in a productivity
app like a word prcessor? Is it rendered narrower than
Arial in that case?

[css-d] header question

Hey there,

I was wondering if there is a way to center my logo
image between the borders of my header div. Or, I'd
like to bring both the top and bottom borders in to
meet the top/bottom edge of my image ...so far, when I
try and adjust the height of my div, only the bottom
border moves and my image stayes put. 


Take a look at www.pdrsolution.com

Here is the .css
--
#Header {
margin:50px 0px 10px 0px;
padding:17px 0px 0px 20px;
/* For IE5/Win's benefit height = [correct height] +
[top padding] + [top and bottom border widths] */
height:23px; /* 14px + 17px + 2px = 33px */
border-style:solid;
border-color:black;
border-width:1px 0px; /* top and bottom borders: 1px;
left and right borders: 0px */
line-height:21px;
background-color:#fff;
font-family:ITC Avant Grade Std XLt, OcrB;

/* Here is the ugly brilliant hack that protects
IE5/Win from its own stupidity. 
Thanks to Tantek Celik for the hack and to Eric
Costello for publicizing it. 
IE5/Win incorrectly parses the "\"}"" value,
prematurely closing the style 
declaration. The incorrect IE5/Win value is above,
while the correct value is 
below. See http://glish.com/css/hacks.asp for details.
*/
voice-family: "\"}\"";
voice-family:inherit;
height:100px; /* the correct height */
}
/* I've heard this called the "be nice to Opera 5"
rule. Basically, it feeds correct 
length values to user agents that exhibit the parsing
error exploited above yet get 
the CSS box model right and understand the CSS2
parent-child selector. ALWAYS include
a "be nice to Opera 5" rule every time you use the
Tantek Celik hack (above). */
body>#Header {height:100px;}

[css-d] IE6 no change in text with a:hover

I am a CSS beginner, starting to work on changing my church's web site from
tables to XHTML/CSS.  I frankly have been a bit discouraged by reading this
list for a week or so, because if people who clearly know vastly more than I
are having this much trouble getting the CSS that works so nicely on their
system to work on other people's systems, gosh, what sort of chance will I
have?

But I really like the idea of cleaner, more accessible, more easily
revisable, more logical code, and separating content from design, so I'm
going to try it anyway.

At the moment I'm working on a "sliding doors" navbar prototype that isn't
fully functional, yet, but it does what I've asked it to quite nicely so far
in Firefox, but in IE6 there's no change on hover.

It seems to me that I've read something about IE not recognizing "hover" on
this list, but I can't find it, and what I can find suggests that it should
work.  So probably I've just done something wrong.

If you'd be willing to look:

HTML:   http://tinyurl.com/8a4au
CSS:  http://tinyurl.com/deo29

And I saw someone apologizing for using tinyurl in an earlier post.  Is this
an offense for some reason?  The reason I did it was that it was just easier
to post this "demo" to a mostly-unused site that winds up many directories
deep and a ridiculously long URL.  Please let me know if somehow tinyurl is
frowned upon here.

Many thanks!

Theophan Dort

Arial Narrow seems to be significantly less common than ordinary Arial:

See link for sampling:


As for the word processor, lets see: ah ha, I get it, A stock install of
Windows XP, does NOT have Arial Narrow in it.  I am a total windows noob, so
I just did the default install in Virtual PC, I don't even know where the
fonts are located at to look for the narrow.

Ok, found then: Arial, Arial Black, Arial Bold, Arial Bold Italic, Arial
Italic.

So, I guess we can not rely on Arial Narrow being there, unless some other
app has installed it.  I suspect Word/Office does, but I do not have that
installed, and can not assume everyone does.  Thanks for helping me get to
the bottom of this though.

RE: [css-d] CSS for shadows around thumbnails (tight wrap of DIVaround image)

Hi there,

 

Steve, I followed this link, http://www.brunildo.org/test/#cen
  . Some interesting examples there. 

 

Can someone explain one of the examples to me, though? On this page --
http://www.brunildo.org/test/ImgHoverTest.html -- in the example labeled
'border on inline ' there's a bottom border (gray/red) and then the
border on the left and right go up only about a fourth of the way. I looked
over the styles and html, copied them to play around with and even recreated
it. But I still can not figure out how those side borders are put together!

 

I hope I'm not missing something really obvious or I'm gonna feel pretty
foolish - oh, well!

I am a long time Mac user, and recently bought a Dell...scratch that, I
bought a $200 version of Internet Explorer.  I only use the Dell to test Web
sites that I build using my Mac. I have not installed anything on it other
than IE 5.0, IE 5.5, FireFox, and Opera.  The Dell is running (closer to a
jog, really) Windows XP Home.

I do not have Arial Narrow installed by default.  I have Arial, Arial Black,
Arial Bold, Arial Italic and Arial Bold Italic.  I'd say that a majority of
PC buyers, looking to save money on their purchase, probably get a machine
with XP Home, but that's totally a guess.  I'm sure there are a million and
one sites out there with XP Professional vs. XP Home Vs. what ever pointless
version of Windows exist under XP.

I do have a lot of Futura fonts in XP Home, so that might be an option?
Futura Light might work?

Charles,

It seems to be a specificity thing.

#header #nav li a:hover {
color: red;
font-weight: bold;
}

works fine, as does

#header #nav a:hover {
color: red;
font-weight: bold;
}

Your bolding makes all the nav elements jump around on rollover though,
it might be better to make all the links bold to begin with, or leave
the hover state without bold.

The IE not supporting hover doesn't apply to the anchor pseudo-classes,
(a:hover, a:visited, etc), it does those just fine.

Scott,

Indeed a Windows install doesn't have Arial Narrow out of the box.
Most of the common MS apps (home and business types) provide it though.
See:  http://tinyurl.com/ddws8

There really aren't any other condensed typefaces that are likely
to be installed on more than a tiny percentage of Windows PCs.
If you want a condensed sans-serif face it is the most likely.
You absolutely cannot assume that everyone has it, but I think
a reasonable percentage would have it. Felix's link suggests
that about 85% of Windows users do have it. As long as a fall back
to Arial or other more generic sans face doesn't destroy your
intended page design, I'd say go ahead and specify it as your first
choice.

Curious, whats with the tiny url stuff I see here, does not wrapping links
in < and > work just fine?

Example:

I have a feeling this will be clickable and fine to most users.

[css-d] drop shadows

Can anyone tell me how to add drop shadows to a div? I
am doing my first site in CSS, so if it is too
complicated, I will just pass.  Thanks in advance.

Re: [css-d] In search of 2-column, fluid, equal length layout.

Browsing around in the wiki, none of the fluid two column layouts seem
to have equal length.

What I'm looking for is:
Two content columns, equal width, % based with % gutter. (see my
current css below): Left column to come first in source, either column
may contain more content.
 


Try wrapping your head around this mind boggler by Ingo Chao.



Just to make things really fun, I'd like to nest a similar pair of
expandable floats inside one of the columns.
 


First things first.

RE: [css-d] CSS for shadows around thumbnails (tight wrap ofDIVaround image)

That border is the consequence of the fact that an inline anchor doesn't
really wrap an image (included in the anchor, in the markup.)  The height of
the anchor is dictated by the font size, and the heigth of the image is
completely ignored (not so the width, of course.)  Try changing font size,
and you will see that left and right borders change their height.

The above is true in standard browsers (like FF), not in IE where the anchor
fully wraps the image.  So that is a sort of usually undesired effect, since
usually one wants a border around the whole image.
If you really want a similar effect working cross browsers, that can
probably be obtained, but no so easily in IE/Win. If you instead want a
border completely wrapping the image (possibly omitting some sides), then
simply choose another method, like putting the border on the 'img' element
instead of the 'a' one.

hth,
Bruno
