RE: Re: Re: [ACFUG Discuss] css - a little off topic
The recent posts on this "CSS-a little off topic" thread re upgrading browsers was, I think, triggered by my comment/tip to Dusty to use Firefox as a development browser while coding his CSS style sheets. My reasoning for this was based on (sometimes painful) personal experience of having "styled away" on a site-writing the CSS, using IE 6 as my dev. Browser. Probably because it was the default browser in my CF Studio 5. Everyone knows CSS can be tricky and a pain in the booty sometimes to make it do what you want it to do when it used to be *so easy* to use Table tags. So struggle I would and ultimately it worked and I was happy-until I finally thought to look at the site with other browsers such as Netscape (not 4 heaven forbid) and everything blew up. The problem I ultimately found was that IE had its own way of doing things which were often non-standard with respect to W3C guidelines. Okay, so my site worked in 80% of the browsers out there. Big deal it didn't work for the minority. One day though-before I was aware of the disaster I had coded, my client called me up and wanted to know why their (very expensive) website didn't work at home-but it does at the office. IE at the office, NS at home! So I learned a few lessons here. Now I write CSS using the most standards compliant browser, recommended by many experts within the CSS community, Firefox. AND I check against IE as I go. When I find a condition that is correct standards-wise but fails adversely in IE I first look at my standards-correct definitions to see if there is an alternate approach that still produces the desired layout/style and works in both the "standards compliant" browser and IE at the same time. If I can't easily do that and I need to incorporate an "IE hack" I do so, checking to see that it is still working in Firefox AND I add comment lines in my CSS code flagging attention to the non-standard/hacked definitions. I do this so if and when I need to go back and "fix" the CSS due to a browser upgrade, etc. I can see exactly where to go to do my fixing. I now feel looking back on my learning curve with CSS that ultimately your best product will be one that is as fully standards compliant as possible with as few hacks or work-arounds as possible. I think the evidence that Microsoft's IE 7 team has worked closely with the W3C to (finally) become compliant is testament of merits of this approach. Just like Steven says, make your CSS standards compliant now or fix it later. Your choice. I agree, good advice.

Re: Re: Re: [ACFUG Discuss] css - a little off topic
I didn't mean to insinuate that IE 7 is coming out so eveyone will
upgrade... i was just making the point that if you intend to future
proof your css build for the standard and work backwards because
eventually the non compliant browsers will die off and (hopefully) the
compliant ones will take over. If you do it the other way around you
are just going to end up fixing it later.

Re: Re: [ACFUG Discuss] css - a little off topic
Well technically the EPA only supports
IE 6, but lots of people around here use FF, but I live in the IT world
over here. But also they are big on pushing auto updates out. And
I would think that those that have autoupdates IE 7 would be pushed out
(at least to XP users). So a good chunk of your users might end up
with IE7 (depending on your XP usage).

Dan - I have to disagree with you :) As someone who has been doing html
since it started, my advice is always to either:
a. work in IE because if you get it right there, you can get it right
anywhere
b. check both at the same time.
Checking Firefox only will cause more time/work on you in the long run.
Of course, as my first professor said, there are 1,000 ways to utica. :)
Also, technically to save a line of code - you could bring the margin-left

margin: top right bottom left
so a typical default is:
margin: 0 auto auto auto

Subject [ACFUG Discuss] css - a little off topic
Does anyone know how to center a div using css? I should know this and
maybe just forgot. Google search only produces reference to the text-align
property. I want to center the box on the page not the content inside the
box. For example
Hello World
---
/* css code */
#mydiv { What goes here to make the div box centered on the page. }
Many thanks,
Dusty
