[WSG] IE footer problem at low resolution

2007-02-22 Thread Lyn Patterson

Good morning

http://www.westernwebdesign.com.au/test/newindex.html

I am having more trouble with this relatively simple design than with 
far more complicated sites. . The problem only seems to occur in IE at 
res  800 x 600.   At res 1024 x 768 it is fine and in Fx at 800 x 600 it 
is fine but at the lower res in IE the footer jumps up and some of it 
disappears behind other content.  Have tried all sorts of fixes but 
obviously not the right one.


Hope someone can spot the problem.  Thank you

Lyn

It's margin-bottom: -40px on #container which is causing the problem. 
If it's there to make the footer stick to the bottom, you might want 
to look at a different implementation.

Thanks John but having removed it, the problem remains.

Re: [WSG] IE footer problem at low resolution

2007-02-22 Thread Lyn Patterson


* html, body { height: 100%;}
* html #container {height: 1%;}

The first one is wrong because there's a comma in there and you're 
applying a rule that you already have on the body and the second one 
isn't needed because you've already applied a height to #container.

Thanks for that John - I can see that now!

Check out footerStickAlt from the man in blue - 
http://www.themaninblue.com/writing/perspective/2005/08/29/
Your css looks similar - you might read through his write-up and see 
if there are some clues. I notice that he uses position: relative for 
the footer, which you don't, and that might keep the footer in the 
normal flow. Just a thought.
Thanks Rolf - looked at several options for footer sticking - will start 
again.

[WSG] Images enlarging themselves

2007-01-11 Thread Lyn Patterson

www.westernwebdesign.com.au/test/flora3.html

I have an image gallery with thumbnails and  use  js to enable them to 
open a larger version in a box on the same page.


The problem is that some thumbnails - like the one shown - enlarge and 
distort themselves instead of  staying the size they actually are.   
This only seems to happen with thumbnails that are taller than they are 
wide. I have no idea why this is happening - there should be plenty of 
room for them. I make them a max of 80px high


Is there anything in the CSS that is causing this?

Thanks

Lyn

[WSG] Missing border in IE

2006-04-23 Thread Lyn Patterson

Good morning

http://www.westernwebdesign.com.au/ppg/index.html


While it is fine in FX and Opera, the little box containing the words in 
red  What we are currently doing is missing part of the top padding 
and the top border in IE.  Strangely, if I use the Web Accessibility Bar 
in IE to check divs, it shows completely.


Hope someone knows what is going on - thanks!

Thank you, Jason - that fixed it but I will certainly look to changing 
the p to an h*.
