Dusty,

 

Here is the email to an EXCELLENT css user group. Once you get signed up
you'll probably get too much traffic from the list.  But there are some real
pros out there that can help you.

 

css-d@lists.css-discuss.org

 

 

Yours,

 

Dan Kaufman

Hi,

Indeed. A very fun site.
 
http://www.csszengarden.com/?cssfile=/190/190.css&page=1
http://www.csszengarden.com/?cssfile=/193/193.css&page=1
<http://www.csszengarden.com/?cssfile=/193/193.css&page=1> 
http://www.csszengarden.com/?cssfile=/195/195.css&page=0
http://www.csszengarden.com/?cssfile=/201/201.css&page=0
 
The same content all the time w/ different css applied. Wouldn't it be a
wonderful chaos to throw a different style at your users for every page
on your site -- even a different style for the same page everytime?
Sweet!

RE: [ACFUG Discuss] OT does anyone have a favorite CSS user group to recommend?

[Dan Kaufman]

Dusty,

 

Here's my approach to the cross-browser problem with CSS.  The problem
begins with how Microsoft in particular "interprets" the CSS standards.
What should be a "standards" behavior for such-and-such sometimes get
embellished or enhanced in their interest of marketing.  It's not just
Microsoft, Netscape can create problems for you too, and older versions of
browsers can be a problem. Basically designing with CSS becomes a
"compromise approach".  Okay here's my approach:

 

1.  start with, develop with the most "standards compliant" browser such
as Firefox.
2.  keep copies of IE and NN open and check yourself as you go, looking
for failures.
3.  It's virtually impossible to have your site render EXACTLY the same
in all browsers and versions thereof. So approach your design with some
flexibility. What works best across the top 3 browsers. But keep your CSS
standards compliant. Don't use browser specific hacks.
4.  Most of the time it is IE that causes me the most grief. And it's
very easy to "fix".  CSS means cascading, and that means as you go down the
page (of  your CSS) every succeeding rule has precedence over any matching
identifier before it.

a.  For example: if you had a style rule for say the id="nav"

#nav {margin: 0 0 0 0;

padding: 5px;

etc. }   (this would set all margins to 0, padding to 5 px, etc.

 

And then somewhere later down the page you had the rule again:

#nav {margin-left: 10px;} 

 

This subsequent rule would override the left margin value only. All other
rules would continue to be applied.

So, here's how to deal with a condition where IE only is messing
up your design.

In your  section, immediately following your 

 


 

>>>at this point, insert a Browser detection tag, and test for, say,
Internet Explorer. Then.

 

 (whatever IF statement you need to recognize that
the browser looking at you is IE, or.)





 

.and the CSS file _ISEXORER.CSS contains "subsequent" rules to any in your
_Base.css file that are having problems with IE. Most of the time my
_IsExplorer.css file is only a rule or two.

 

The advantage here is that your "base" css file is always "standards
compliant so that as new browsers come on the market, etc. your site will
continue to run correctly. If you use browser hacks you will have to go back
and figure out where they are as IE figures out how to "follow the rules"
and your hack doesn't work anymore.

 

Hope this idea/procedure helps.

 

 

Dan

Re: [ACFUG Discuss] OT does anyone have a favorite CSS user group to recommend?

[Steven Ross]

I went to a conference a few years ago when i worked for St. Jude
(http://stjude.org) and after it I saw the light of css and moved the
design to pure css (except for embedded content on pages where users
enter their own html through the CMS). The nicest thing was when we
needed to roll out a design. I literally uploaded the style and images
and changed 4 loc and the new design was active.

The same content all the time w/ different css applied. Wouldn't it be a
wonderful chaos to throw a different style at your users for every page on
your site -- even a different style for the same page everytime? Sweet!

One that I believe our pal here Allen Underwood turned me/us on to a couple

Now, it's not a place for asking questions, but I sense that the ones
offered below are not either, so I thought it worth adding to that list.

Re: [ACFUG Discuss] OT does anyone have a favorite CSS user group to recommend?

[Steven Ross]

There is really no need to do this as you can use various techniques
to build one stylesheet to support multiple browsers. You simply set
the style to what your base browser is and then employ various
techniques (css 2 selectors) to override the base set.

ie:

#someDiv {width: 450px; padding: 0 5px 0 5px;}
html>body #someDiv {width: 460px;}

Dusty,



Here's my approach to the cross-browser problem with CSS.  The problem
begins with how Microsoft in particular "interprets" the CSS standards.
What should be a "standards" behavior for such-and-such sometimes get
embellished or enhanced in their interest of marketing.  It's not just
Microsoft, Netscape can create problems for you too, and older versions of
browsers can be a problem. Basically designing with CSS becomes a
"compromise approach".  Okay here's my approach:



start with, develop with the most "standards compliant" browser such as
Firefox.
keep copies of IE and NN open and check yourself as you go, looking for
failures.
It's virtually impossible to have your site render EXACTLY the same in all
browsers and versions thereof. So approach your design with some
flexibility. What works best across the top 3 browsers. But keep your CSS
standards compliant. Don't use browser specific hacks.
Most of the time it is IE that causes me the most grief. And it's very easy
to "fix".  CSS means cascading, and that means as you go down the page (of
your CSS) every succeeding rule has precedence over any matching identifier
before it.

For example: if you had a style rule for say the id="nav"

#nav {margin: 0 0 0 0;

padding: 5px;

etc. }   (this would set all margins to 0, padding to 5 px, etc.



And then somewhere later down the page you had the rule again:

#nav {margin-left: 10px;}



This subsequent rule would override the left margin value only. All other
rules would continue to be applied.

So, here's how to deal with a condition where IE only is messing
up your design.

In your  section, immediately following your





>>>at this point, insert a Browser detection tag, and test for, say,
Internet Explorer. Then…



 (whatever IF statement you need to recognize that
the browser looking at you is IE, or…) 






…and the CSS file _ISEXORER.CSS contains "subsequent" rules to any in your
_Base.css file that are having problems with IE. Most of the time my
_IsExplorer.css file is only a rule or two.



The advantage here is that your "base" css file is always "standards
compliant so that as new browsers come on the market, etc. your site will
continue to run correctly. If you use browser hacks you will have to go back
and figure out where they are as IE figures out how to "follow the rules"
and your hack doesn't work anymore.



Hope this idea/procedure helps.





Dan

Hi Dusty,
   Did you solve the issue? I am just curious and also I want
to get an idea of moving from table design to tableless desing i.e pure css.
It would be great if you could share your experience with us or if you are
still facing any issues.
