RE: [WSG] WHYYY??? WHYYYY???
Hmmm, a) it doesn't validate... Should really be fixed before posting unless validation is the question. b) Box model hack? There are ways around this. I strongly suggest you lose this and structure the page so that is doesn't require it. c) Why the ? I think would work much better and save some noodles in the soup. This may well have something to do with it. Extra div there pushing things around. I know Russ showed you this at some stage but I believe it was for a particular reason. You could also just add the rule to the required divs. I changed the width of #content down to 558px and then it works so you have an issue in the space held for that div.

Re: [WSG] WHYYY??? WHYYYY???
There's no margin or padding. These days this is the first thing I check. Thanks to the inestimable, exalted, talented, selfless, charitable Hugh Todd it's starting to work. If in doubt, make both of the b*astards float left. How do you all handle this folks? My brain is going to pop. As I said to Hugh, I always hated Rubik's Cubes, and this CSS stuff is like one big twenty-sided one. With colours that randomly change.

Re: [WSG] Can a list have one item?
Wow man, that's deep. I would say yes. You are simply stating what follows is a collection of elements. It might be zero, one or many elements. The purpose of wrapping around your item(s) is to put those item(s) into context. To answer your second question, I'd say it's not a list when you choose it not to be! But maybe I'm wrong.

RE: [WSG] WHYYY??? WHYYYY???
Hey Peter What happens when you reduce the width by a few pixels? Does it move up? If so I'd say that you've got some IE box model weirdness going on. margin+border+padding+width (in IE6) > margin+border+padding+width (in everything else) If that does fix it I'm at a loss.

RE: [WSG] Can a list have one item?
I think a list with one item is ok, for example: Mark - Shopping List Ciggies That's still as list in my book. However I think you should check the count server side anyway to avoid the following: Mark - New Years Resolutions The DTD backs me up on this one A+ = A must occur one or more times.

This is a bit existential, but can a list have one item?

Re: [WSG] Unordered list with id
Gavin, You want to be able to identify the current page with a distinctive background for the appropriate list item? Here's a site on which it works well. Take a look at the code at the bottom of the site's style sheet. In the body id code for each HTML page he names the current page/area of the site, which triggers a background inside the appropriate tag (by calling on the appropriate a#mnu style for that page). http://www.wasabicube.com/ http://www.wasabicube.com/s/wc.css Hope this helps. -Hugh Todd Now i want to highlight the current page using a different CSS style. I have tried all sorts of combinations, and in this example i have an ID="thisquestion" on the relevant and a class="thisquestionlink" on the inside the . It just wont seem to style for me.

Good question There is actually already a lot being done on the server side and this solution is partly trying to split the load, but mostly the 200 or so other outstanding bugs that our 2 java guys are working through means that I have to try this solution for primary release. To be honest we were actually planning on doing this whole thing in a visual interface probably using flash, but that hasn't happened yet.

RE: [WSG] Cache Tutorial
I really don't think this is OT at all. HTTP is the basis of everything we
do and is very much a "web standard".
I think that if you put the following line of code in your stream.php file:
header("HTTP/1.0 304 Not Modified");
it should solve your problem. Use the LiveHTTPHeaders plugin for Firefox to
test the results out.

Re: [WSG] Cache Tutorial
Thanks Mark [OT] though relevant to web caching. Has anyone been able to convince a browser to cache images that are served like this Adding various header directives in the response should work, but the browser always insists on reloading the image. During standard image requests the web server responds with a "304 Not Modified" response when the image is cached, so that the browser doesn't bother to reload the image. I cannot seem to emulate this behaviour via a fpassthru() PHP call.

[WSG] Javascript question
OK, so a different standard from the one we usually talk about
I have this page
http://positionrelative.com/snippets/jstest.htm
Now if you visit the site you should see a huge list of suburbs, to
which I am adding some letter headers for each letter. Sounds simple
enough except that it takes far too long for the JS to work, and I'm
stuck as to how to improve it.
My js function is
function recurseNodes(aNodes) {
for (var i=0; i
if (aNodes[i].nodeType == 1) {
if (aNodes[i].tagName.toLowerCase() == "label") {
//label found
//get first character
var c = aNodes[i].innerHTML.charAt(0);
if (c != currentLetter) {
//insert node for for new letter heading
var newNode = document.createElement("h2");
newNode.innerHTML = c.toUpperCase();
aNodes[i].parentNode.parentNode.insertBefore(newNode, aNodes[i].parentNode);
//for safari
//var newNode2 = document.createElement("a");
//newNode2.setAttribute("name", sPrefix +
c.toLowerCase());
//aNodes[i].parentNode.parentNode.insertBefore(newNode,
aNodes[i].parentNode);
//set current letter
currentLetter = c;
}
}
//recurse
if (aNodes[i].hasChildNodes) {
recurseNodes(aNodes[i].childNodes);
}
}
}
}
The safari bit was for another additional function which has now been
curtailed (I have very much the moving goalposts on this one!)
If anyone could think of a better way to do this, or even an efficiency
tweak I would be very grateful.
p.s. this page is just a snippet so may be a little messy...apologies

Re: [WSG] bit of help needed !
As far as I can tell it's a bug in Moz/Netscape. I've had it happen a few times before, and got myself so worked up trying to figure it out that I wanted to start shooting things. On the plus side, IE5.2, Safari 1,2, and Opera 6.03 display the nav right. Opera of course has the 4px or so gap at the top, and the whole content part is shifted 10 or 15 pixels left. But, on the bright side it's not collapsing the borders. I don't have the time to try this, but see what happens if you take the "line-height: 1.8em" out. I vaguely remember that as a possible cause for problems, but it's been a while so my mind might just be playing tricks on me.

RE: [WSG] Cool No-delay image rollover technique
So in that case there’s no difference between _javascript_ rollovers or these single image rollovers from the user’s standpoint - they either download the image every time they roll over it on both or they don’t, depending on whether they have caching turned off – but there’s a benefit in terms of the size of the code and accessibility to using the CSS method. Does that sum it up fairly?

Firstly Michael, I was under the illusion if you tried to use the W3C
CSS validator with a ".html" extension, you wouldn't have a hope of
getting it to validate, as surely it is a ".css" only validator?
Therefore how can it validate .html? (jigsaw validator, I mean).
You'll probably have a simple explanation for me, I hope so, as I'm
getting a bit lost with this one.
As i said, I'm still quite green to this myself.
Also I know the CSS is untidy re: double ids etc. (still working on
it).

Here's the issue in your #container:

You can't have two values here. Correct ones would be::
margin-bottom: 0ormargin-bottom: auto
Were you trying this maybe::margin: 0 auto(0 on top & bottom,
auto for left and right)
The CSS could use some cleaning, looks like there's some doubles in
there (ids) and alot of double stating on things like background in
some ids.
I.E.:
#container {
width : 100%;
margin: 0 auto;
background : url(img/xr.gif) repeat 100% 50%;
background-repeat : no-repeat;
background-position : 100% 100%;

font-size : 0.9em;
color : #333;

}
Two questions arise there...in one you have it repeat, then you don't.
You have it position 100% 50% then 100% 100%. The later of the two
override the first ones. Be easier to condense everything into:

Re: [WSG] Hover issue
Michael, Peter and Lucian appreciate the feedback.
I'm still on a steep learning curve.
Firstly Michael, I was under the illusion if you tried to use the W3C CSS validator
with a ".html" extension, you wouldn't have a hope of getting it to validate, as
surely it is a ".css" only validator? Therefore how can it validate .html? (jigsaw
validator, I mean).
You'll probably have a simple explanation for me, I hope so, as I'm getting a bit lost
with this one.
As i said, I'm still quite green to this myself.
Also I know the CSS is untidy re: double ids etc. (still working on it).
New draft version at http://lc55.co.uk/test/index.html (where I have moved the
background image to top right).
and the uncondensed CSS draft is at http://lc55.co.uk/test/d.css
Help with condensing the CSS would be very appreciated if any of you guys can spare
the time.
Hope I'm not boring you guys to much, but I suppose we are all here to learn from each
other.
Thanks again, JG

Here's the issue in your #container:
margin-bottom: 0 auto;
You can't have two values here. Correct ones would be::
margin-bottom: 0ormargin-bottom: auto
Were you trying this maybe::margin: 0 auto(0 on top & bottom,
auto for left and right)
The CSS could use some cleaning, looks like there's some doubles in
there (ids) and alot of double stating on things like background in
some ids.
I.E.:
#container {
width : 100%;
margin: 0 auto;
background : url(img/xr.gif) repeat 100% 50%;
background-repeat : no-repeat;
background-position : 100% 100%;
background-color : #d4dfd1;
font-family : "Trebuchet MS", "Lucida Grande", Verdana, Arial,
sans-serif;
font-size : 0.9em;
color : #333;
line-height : 115%;
}
Two questions arise there...in one you have it repeat, then you don't.
You have it position 100% 50% then 100% 100%. The later of the two
override the first ones. Be easier to condense everything into:
background: #d4dfd1 url("img/xr,gif") no-repeat bottom right;

Re: [WSG] Cool No-delay image rollover technique
I experience the same issue as Peter in Firefox with caching turned off. (although I don't see a delay, I know it's loading a fresh copy of the image when the firewall winks at me every time I roll over tabs on the Fast Company web site.) Here's a real purdy looking tutorial from Dan Cedarholm, note the comments bring up this very issue. http://www.simplebits.com/archives/2003/09/30/accessible_imagetab_rollovers.html I agree with Peter, it's a clean way to handle roll-overs. And the majority of users might have caching turned on. Otherwise if you follow the link at the bottom of the Pixy tutorial, there's a simple band-aid.

RE: [WSG] Hover issue
Hi JG, If you validate the page using the HTML validator, there is a link to check the CSS as well and this parses the page to validate the CSS (easier than validating all the CSS files individually if you have more than one and more correct as it uses the parsing tree). So go to: http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http://lc55.co.uk/test/index.html (perfect!) and there is a link that says: "If you use CSS in your document, you should also check it for validity using the W3C CSS Validation Service." Click on "check it for validity" and you'll get: http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?uri=http://lc55.co.uk/test/inde x.html Errors URI : http://lc55.co.uk/test/d.css Line: 0 Context : #container Invalid number : margin-bottomToo many values or values are not recognized : 0 auto Line: 0 Context : #container Invalid number : margin-bottomToo many values or values are not recognized : 0 auto _ Now.. Why is this so? Sorry, I can't help you there right now, but probably something to do with the parsing tree.

[WSG] text size controls
Title: text size controls so I need some text size controls on a news article page, and while I can easily comprehend the method behind the style switcher method that is everywhere to switch between a few preset sizes - like www.wired.com - I'd like to use the " + / - " method that you see around the place.. say , like here: http://www.sacbee.com/content/business/story/8273039p-9203704c.html that allows you to bump up the size progressively and limits you at either extreme of sizing. question is, the options for the " + / - " method I've seen use _javascript_ that seems a little excessive - in saying that tho I know next to nothing about writing _javascript_ (i'm a copier and paster in that department :). Can anyone point me to a particularly ellegant execution or tutorial for a " + / - " text size method? obviously keen to keep it all on track & standards based aswell :) should also mention my site css uses keywords to define the base font size and %'s for variations. I like the idea of the wired.com method cause i can specifically target the article body copy and have it enlarge it quite a bit, but limit the 'enlarging' (?) of navigation to a smaller increment so as not to break it. i'm not sure the " + / - " method is going to allow me that much control...? any help appreciated. pete
