This list is not for IE bashing.  We're all aware of the fact that IE 
has some serious limitations and many of us have to deal with them 
everyday.  However, venting your frustration publicly and using subjects 
like I Hate Internet Explorer or Internet Explorer I Hate You! isn't 
the most constructive way to deal with your problems.

That's because of the way IE incorrectly handles 'height'.  It 
effectively treats it like 'min-height' and because the list items 
within the ul end up being higher than the height specified for the ul, 
the ul gets stretched.  You need to make sure the total height of the 
list items (including 'height', 'line-height', 'padding', etc.) does not 
exceed that of the ul.

RE: [WSG] I Hate Internet Explorer Pt 2

2006-09-13 Thread Kepler Gelotte


 ONE: I have a min width but it doesnt work in explorer so the right flash
file drops down when its minimised.

Since IE 6.0 doesn't support min-width, you need to use (a CSS invalid)
expression:

min-width: 800px;
width: width:expression((document.documentElement.offsetWidth 
820)? 800px: auto );

 TWO: underneath the menu bar I get a blue bar that should not be there

I don't see that one.

 THREE: when you click on the news tab you go to the news page and the
about and news links are squashed 
 together. Im thinking it may be due to teh blog style sheet as i have had
some trouble with it and am still
 'trying' to clean it up ( http://www.jp2designs.com/Blog.css)

You have a bad end anchor tag (/a) for about:

div id=navlist
ul
lia href=http://www.jp2designs.com/index.html;home/a/li
lia href=#http://www.jp2designs.com/AboutUs.html;about/a/li

[WSG] parsing microformats

2006-09-13 Thread Ross Bruniges
Hey guys, 

Am wondering if any guys can help me with a little problem I am trying to solve 
in regard to parsing a bunch of vevents I have marked up and am trying to get 
into peoples outlook2003 calenders here at work.

I have managed to get all events to export into an .ics file via the Technorati 
service but am wondering if there is a way I can target a single event at a 
time -  so in this example I would provide a 'download event to calender' link 
for each of the events so people can get details for just the events they want.

Each vevent has an ID which I am trying to use to target things (the example 
link is trying to get the academic board - 11th October) but no joy - any 
ideas???

My example page is at : 
http://www.lsbu.ac.uk/sbucomm/rossNewSite/tests/hCalTest/ 

Big thanks for any help :

Hi Ross

Most microformat parsers support fragment identifiers for targeting only
part of a page. This is the #something on the end of the URI. Therefore,
passing in http://example.com/mypage#foo will return results for the
element in the page with the ID 'foo' and its decendants.

The trick to watch is that the fragment identifier by default is not
passed to the server when you make an HTTP GET. Therefore you'll need
to encode it to make sure it gets to the server. I think the correct
encoding for # is %23 - but check.

If it is not important content - important info as opposed to just
decorative - make it a background image:

Div.your divnamehere{background:#pink url(path to your image) bottom center
no-repeat;}

Change center to left or right, etc.

Safari is a decent browser but I don't what Apple was thinking when it 
tied updates and bug fixes to OS upgrades. In any event, Safari bugs 
are related to the OS X version you are running. I believe that if you 
order your style sheets, thusly, it might work around the bug:


1. handheld
2. screen

Let us know if that works.

It changes quite a bit, but still is messed up.  The handheld sheet
styles elements that are unstyled in the screen sheet.  I could
probably fix it by doing the handheld sheet first as you suggest, and
then specifying styles in the screen sheet for everything the handheld
sheet styled.  However, I'd really like to leave browser defaults for
the screen sheet on these elements if possible.

Re: [WSG] Safari filter

2006-09-13 Thread Al Sparber
FWIW, my experience is that you won't get very far using media types 
for applying screen versus handheld styles  anyway. Internet 
Explorer  Mobile, for one, will load both screen and handheld media 
types, and  a communication from a member of the Windows Mobile team 
told me that  this was by design. Other handheld browsers will 
load both because  they were written by some jerk who didn't read 
the spec, and never  realised what they were supposed to be doing.


I think the fact that a screen browser is rendering a handheld media 
type is the issue, no? Frankly, my job would end with a proper 
handheld style sheet. If someone was using a browser that didn't honor 
it, I wouldn't consider it my problem. I would be concerned about a 
screen browser that can't process the media type attribute correctly - 
even if it's a minor player like Safari.

[WSG] vert shift in IE *some* of the time...

2006-09-13 Thread Bekka Borg
I'm working on a new site that has a content shift down some/most of 
the time when you load/reload a page.  But not all the time.  And not 
the entire page.  The left column seems stable.  This happens in IE 
6.0, beta IE 7, and Opera 9.1 on the PC, but *not* in Firefox 1.5.0.6 
on the PC.  And so far not in Firefox 1.5.06 on the Mac.  Safari 
2.0.4 on the Mac won't do it unless you continually reload the same 
page over and over, and then every once in a while it will do the 
jump.


http://bbi.syr.edu/aboutbbi/
css: http://bbi.syr.edu/common/level2_all.css

If you go down the main navigation links on the left, sometimes the 
new page does the vertical jump as it loads, sometimes not.  And even 
if it doesn't, if you hit reload it flashes somewhat, but may not 
jump.


The homepage has a similar thing going on (related or not I don't 
know) if you hit reload.


http://bbi.syr.edu
css: http://bbi.syr.edu/common/temp_home.css

I hesitate to blame it on a browser bug, since it's happening to 
different degrees in more than one browser/platform.  Validated my 
HTML and CSS to see if it was something obvious, but that hasn't 
helped so far.  In a previous thread someone had mentioned width:100% 
on a container causing something similar...  but didn't help here.


Can anyone point me in the right direction??  I'm stumped.  Not that 
it takes much these days but there's got to be an explanation. 
Right?  I don't have a solid grasp of how IE handles width/height 
issues, but since it's happening in Opera too I'm thinking there'd be 
more to it anyway.


Thanks!

Bekka

very far using media types for applying
screen versus handheld styles  anyway.
Internet Explorer Mobile, for one,


My Samsung A900's ugly default browser uses handheld stylesheets
pretty much flawlessly, seems to just love the xhtml mime type... it
just plain respects standards.  Considering the quality of IE's -main-
browser, I can only imagine how horrible some side-project based off
of it is.  Luckilly, as far as I know, it doesn't have extremely high
market share in that segment.  I have an aversion to using the link
element for some reason.  Actually I think the head and body elements
should disappear, and content (and only content) should be directly
inside the html element.  Hey, I can dream!  haha.  I think if there's
no CSS filter or other relatively easy fix other than not using PIs,
I'll just remove one rule from my handheld stylesheet which is causing
overlapping text in safari, and let the other bugs (all purely
asthetic, colors mostly) stay buggy.



If you can, post a link to the page, I'd like to test it in Safari on
Panther to see if that version has issues too.

Fails on Panther Safari (1.3.2) too. Passes on Camino, Firefox, and 
Opera.

On a conventional xhtml page, this passes in Safari:

style type=text/css media=handheld
h1 {color: #FF;}
/style
style type=text/css media=handheld
@import url(kenny.css);
/style
link href=kenny.css rel=stylesheet type=text/css 
media=handheld /


The external sheets contain one rule:
h1 {color: #FF;}

RE: [WSG] vert shift in IE *some* of the time...

2006-09-13 Thread Kepler Gelotte
 I'm working on a new site that has a content shift down some/most of 
 the time when you load/reload a page.  But not all the time.

Hi Bekka,

It appears to be caused by the nifty.js and your windows.onLoad() function
to Round() the box corners. 

I would try a different javascript to round the corners. I used the jQuery
library at:
http://jquery.com/blog/2006/08/31/jquery-101/

and the rounded corners plugin at:
http://methvin.com/jquery/jq-corner-demo.html

who didn't read the spec, and never  realised what they were  
supposed to be doing.


I think the fact that a screen browser is rendering a handheld  
media type is the issue, no?

...
I would be concerned about a screen browser that can't process the  
media type attribute correctly - even if it's a minor player like  
Safari.




Well, Safari handles the media attribute of the link element just  
fine in my tests on 2.0.4 (i.e. it ignores the handheld  
stylesheet). Given that Kenny clearly wants to serve different styles  
to handheld devices, I thought it was helpful to point out that with  
current technologies, he'll have to override just about everything  
from the screen stylesheet in the handheld stylesheet too.


Frankly, my job would end with a proper handheld style sheet. If  
someone was using a browser that didn't honor it, I wouldn't  
consider it my problem.


When your client is a big organisation, hundreds of whose employees  
are accessing the site with IE Mobile, the fact that you've delivered  
a proper handheld stylesheet doesn't matter - as far as the chairman  
of the board is concerned, it doesn't work on his company phone or  
PDA, so it doesn't work full stop. It's more likely to work correctly  
if one devises some way of sending only the styles needed through  
server-side techniques.


Delivering content to handhelds makes me feel like I'm back in 1996 :-(

Cheers,

Nick.

RE: [WSG] How to align images at the *bottom* with CSS?

2006-09-13 Thread Ted Drake
My suggestion ( p img {vertical-align:bottom }) makes it easier to align an
image with a string of text.  Matthew's is better for placing an image in a
block, which is what your were asking for.
However, I’d suggest avoid vague positioning. i.e. don’t use
background-position:bottom. Use background-position:0 100%; instead. The
same for your positioning, use bottom:0, left:0…

I’ve worked on a number of large sites that change over the course of time
and vague positioning falls apart when someone updates the image 6 months
from now. Or tries to over ride it later on with a more specific rule.  It’s
just a good practice to define your positioning specifically.

Unfortunately, that's not the case with the majority of mobile  
browsers. There's a decent article about the hoops
Yahoo!'s people went through creating a mobile-accessible site for  
the FIFA World Cup:

http://www.designinteract.com/features/yahoofifa/

They found it necessary to test on ten different devices, and  
implement two different sets of markup, just to be sure they were  
allowing the maximum number of devices access to the site.




Considering the quality of IE's -main-
browser, I can only imagine how horrible some side-project based off
of it is.


In fact, it's better than IE 6 - I think that, just as IE Mac used to  
be, it's a different team with a different codebase. The version I  
have on my PDA supports transparency in PNGs, for example, and it has  
support for attribute selectors. On the other hand, it has no idea  
what the button element is... There's a table showing its CSS support at

http://blogs.msdn.com/windowsmobile/articles/213771.aspx


Luckilly, as far as I know, it doesn't have extremely high
market share in that segment.


Actually, there's a large number of handheld devices (phones and  
PDAs) running Windows Mobile; I felt the need to buy such a device  
purely for testing.



I have an aversion to using the link
element for some reason.


I have an aversion to doing most of the things one has to do to get a  
working cross-platform implementation for handhelds :-)


If it's for your own site then you might as well just do what works  
for you, but if it's a commercial site, or something you're doing for  
a client, I'm afraid you're in for a world of pain :-(


Good luck,

Nick.

[WSG] textarea wrap attribute

2006-09-13 Thread Pierre-Henri Lavigne

Yellow all !

I would like to know please how you are using the css property overflow to 
avoid the wrap=virtual attribute in xhtml 1.0 strict. I'm trusting css but 
I'm not shure I'm using it well. Maybe you are using an other css property.

Even if the Web is a chaosmosis, it will not be an apology to make this list 
the same. :D

Cheers,
Peter

What exactly does wrap=virtual supposedly do?  I could not find any 
documentation for the value that described its purpose.  None of my 
tests indicated any difference from the default behaviour or wrap=soft 
(which is documented as being the default).


The WHATWG have documented both the hard and soft values.
http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-forms/current-work/#extensions1

MSDN have documented an additional off value which only differs from 
soft in presentation, not function, which is why it was not included 
in the WHATWG's work.

Luckilly it's a semi-personal site.  It's an interface for a database
used by me and a large group of friends.  That's why I'm able to serve
as XHTML.  I can just say if you want access, don't use IE.  So
Safari support isn't a complete necessity, but since it's generally a
good browser, I'd rather not discourage its use among my non-nerd
friends.  But you mentioning that most mobile devices are buggy with
styles makes me strongly consider solving all this by simply not using
a handheld stylesheet.  Because of the type of site it is, styling
isn't at all necessary.  Each page pretty much consists of:  h1, h2,
ul, h2, ul, h2, ul.  IE may have many more bugs than Safari, but at
least there they can be worked around with something as simple as a
child selector or a conditional comment.

Well, it is a annoying bug in Safari. It simply ignores all media  
attributes and the 'alternate=yes' attribute - and maybe more, but  
I didn't test further than those.

Here is my test file:

You might consider filing a bug report

(I didn't find any open bug on the subject)

Can you give a specific example? I don't see what the issue is myself. Is it
really random? Do you refresh the screen and see a different layout?
