Hi Tee,

As James mentioned, what is the Bug Report number (#) you were  
issued with? I'll follow up here for you.


Kind regards,


Frank and James, thanks for the response.

I haven't a clue what the Bug Report number is, and I don't remember  
if I ever gotten one. It was a web form system, I simply filled up the  
form, gave the symptom, detail, and link for the example. I must have  
prompted a 'Thank you for filing a bug report' message after it was  
sent. Sorry, that's all I could remember.


Here is the page with opacity declared in CSS
http://www.lotusfromthemud.com/about1 (bottom section)

and here is the recent encounter
http://marinersq.com/

It's a mootools slideshow, using ken burns effect, when the image pans  
out, you can clearly see the opacity is lost. I informed the author of  
the script, he said he will look into it and see if it can be fixed  
from his ends, however I really think this is caused by Opera opacity  
bug.


I also think this bug must be quite random and unpredictable. As you  
can see, the background for the caption also has opacity, and it does  
work. When I googled 'opera opacity bug', I landed a few sites that  
reported it was fixed, I checked the examples, it seems it was. But  
it's not for my case.


is there -opera-opacity rule?

What you would want to do is learn a programming language like PHP 
http://us2.php.net/tut.php


Stay away from FrontPage it isn't even supported by Microsoft anymore.

Just a note on web standards

You can also be interactive with html.  You will also have your
guestbook run faster and be more accessible.

Re: [WSG] firefox treatment of wrapper overflow height

2008-07-16 Thread kevin mcmonagle

Thank you david,
a tip from that article has me sorted.

I put a div at the bottom of the rapper content like this:

   div class=clear/div

.clear{clear:both}

nice trick just kind of forces,


but I still dont understand why the outer wrapper would'nt scale 
automatically with three
columns in an inner wrapper with no heights set anywhere /unless /the  
outerwrapper was floated left or right itself..


-best

hi,

this? -



Yes. If the content has A.P. blocks or floats that are not contained
then the containing DIV might not expand.

If the problem is due to floats, there are several methods available
for containing them here:

These days it's also known how to do a clear without an additional clearing
div... try giving the troublesome div overflow:hidden en you should also be
sorted.

Re: [WSG] Semantic markup of a byline date/time

2008-07-16 Thread Ben Lau
Hi Jens,

Normally I'd use spans for all 3 elements, but I'm quite interested to find
out a better way of doing this.
Did you manage to find a solution to this?

Regards,
Ben

 Hi all,

 I'm trying to find a semantic representation of the following construct
 which is part of an article template:

 Byline goes here
 July 15, 2008 - 3:51PM
 Page 1 of 2 | Single page

 The current implementation uses proprietary byline and date tags and
 a span for the pagination information.

 I thought of using a low-level h5 for the byline since it's somehow
 connected to the main h1 further up the page. Maybe a ul for the
 pagination info?

 Suggestions welcome!

 Cheers,

 Jens

Normally I use DIVs with appropriate class names.
