Re: [WSG] Problem with Navigation in IE 6

2007-02-23 Thread Carolyn Diaz

Thanks so much! I should have seen that right off. Isn't that also known as
the Holly hack or some such thing?

 The problem is the left navigation in IE 6. The sub elements or 2nd
 level of
 the navigation loses its background, sometimes the color, sometimes the
 image...in other words, extremely buggy behavior!

Add...
li {height: 1%;}
...or another suitable 'hasLayout'[1] trigger, to those list-items.

That's one IE/win bug that is fixed in IE7.

[WSG] Stylesheet problem

2006-12-01 Thread Carolyn Diaz

I have a problem with the stylesheet on a huge site. The folders are set up
on the site so that sometimes they are 5 levels deep. For example:

- Folder1

- Folder 1a

- Folder 1b

- Folder 1c

+ Folder 1d


All folders use the same stylesheet, but some of the font sizes seem to
change depending on how deep you are on the site. (I'm using percentages for
font sizes.) The 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th levels seem to be using the
stylesheet in the root level as the parent and some font sizes are smaller.
Actually, one whole section of level 5 folders have font sizes that are
larger than the root level.

Has anyone ever had that happen? Will I need to stop using percentages for
font sizes?

I'm afraid I'm on a closed system, so I cannot send a link.

Thanks in advance.

Carolyn

[WSG] Print Styles and Display:None

2006-11-09 Thread Carolyn Diaz
I'm trying to convert the main content of a table-based layout to accessible content. The client wants me to prioritize converting the entire site, so it's main content first, then we'll convert everything else. I'm also working on a print/handheld style sheet in this first phase of the conversion.
The layout has a left navigation, header, and footer in tables. I've styled the header and footer for print by using display:none;, but cannot get my main content all the way over to the left margin. It's as if the left navigation is somehow preventing it from moving all the way over. I even put the entire left navigation in a div id=mainmenu and styled it with:
#mainmenu {display:none !important;}but to no avail. Also, I've tried pushing the main content over to the left by using a z-index of 1 and a negative left margin...nothing there...the text just disappears under the space for the left navigation.
Could someone please help me? I just know I'll slap my forehead when I see the answer, but for now, I'm just frustrated!Thanks a bunch!

[WSG] Print Styles and Display:None

2006-11-09 Thread Carolyn Diaz
Hi all,Thanks for all the offers of help. I couldn't provide a link because I'm working in a closed system (government). However, I sent my files to someone on the list and it didn't take him very long to figure out that I needed:
td {width:auto;}
It was, for me, a real forehead slapping moment. Thanks, Alexander for all your help. This list rocks!Carolyn

Re: [WSG] email stripping out the css from tables?

Or...give subscribers the ability to choose whether they would like to see a test-based newsletter or (X)HTML one in the same sentence in the bottom where you've put the link for them to unsubscribe if they wish. You do have an opt-out option, don't you?

[WSG] HELP: Disappearing text and other problems in IE

2006-05-25 Thread Carolyn Diaz
I have been given the task of updating a web site to a more accessible, standards-compliant version. Right off, I'm having problems with the absolutely positioned navigation (main navigation and smaller help navigation near top) in both IE and Firefox. Depending on the resolution and Firefox version the navs move around slightly with the help nav partially disappearing in some versions. In IE, the navs don't show up at all! Is all this caused by the fact they are absolutely positioned? The client will not budge from the navs being positioned where they are.
Also, I'm having a problem with the header in IE leaving a space between the header and bottom border. Help! What am I doing, or not doing?The template page is at:

Re: [WSG] Ultimate 2 columns' requirements

2006-05-09 Thread Carolyn Diaz
Take a look at http://www.projectseven.com/tutorials/css/pvii_columns/index.htm. Although css is NOT the solution, It is one option you could use.
To use css, check out http://www.alistapart.com/articles/fauxcolumns/.Both methods present very interesting challenges.Carolyn

Has anyone got a solution to 2 column layout using css that does thefollowing:- 2 columns.- columns stay equal height, even though either column could have morecontent and be longer.- right column does not drop below left column as width of browser is
shrunk. The horizontal scrollbar should appear rather than this happening.- ability to vertically align either column to top, middle or bottom.- width of columns should be able to set to a fixed size or a percentage.
- container width of columns should be able to set to a fixed size or apercentage.- works in IE6.- content below does not overlap (clears properly).Is this possible?Thanks,Stephen
