Re: [WSG] Why does IE show text decoration on these buttons?

2010-05-03 Thread Kathleen R Dery
Mike, In your CSS all I see are general rules set with text- 
decoration: underline.  I don't see the text-decoration: none  
anywhere.  I would make your rules more specific.

Hello group,

It's another brain fade moment for me, so I hope someone can help me.

In IE7, the nav buttons are showing a black underline when the mouse  
hovers
over them, even though I have specifically put text-decoration:none  
in the
IE style sheet.   (In other browsers the buttons do what they're  
supposed

to)

Can anyone see what I've missed please?

[WSG] Comments Please? Site Check.

2010-05-02 Thread Kathleen R Dery

Hello!

I have one more week to develop this site, and I wonder if someone  
would give me feedback.  I don't really like the Dreamweaver widgets,  
but there they are on almost every page.  The Cars page will have a  
widget as well.  The only child page I have is for Lecture Tours.   
Does it have any hope?

[WSG] .box breaks up on feedback page.

2009-11-12 Thread Kathleen R Dery

Hello,

I have a .box on my lists.  All of them have round corners except the  
one on feedback page.  I was able to get the corner on the bottom- 
right round last night at one point, but when I moused over it, it  
changed.  Not that corner is not round at all.  I am chasing errors,  
but have not found it yet.


Will someone help?

Thanks!!

[WSG] .box in IE won't go away

2009-11-12 Thread Kathleen R Dery

Hello,

I am going to reframe my question for clarity:

There is a browser difference in rendering one of my round cornered  
boxes on the bottom of my feedback page.  In IE7 PC, it breaks up.   
The same box on other pages work fine.  Maybe there is an error in  
coding, but I am trying to remove it in IE only by using another  
stylesheet with a conditional comment on that page in question.

http://198.189.180.32/ma-ftp/media-arts/DMA_C111/dery/site/main.css
http://198.189.180.32/ma-ftp/media-arts/DMA_C111/dery/site/ie.css

Regards,
Kathleen

I am using this code, but the box remains in IE7:

!--[if IE]
link rel=stylesheet type=text/css href=ie.css media=screen /
![endif]--

Yes, I reframed the question again in the forum.  It only happens in  
IE.  I am trying to remove it in IE only with a conditional comment.   
Still it persists.  Thanks!

Kathleen


It work fine in Firefox 3.5. It might be a browser quirk.

Re: [WSG] .box breaks up on feedback page.

2009-11-12 Thread Kathleen R Dery

Thanks Russ;

I have no problem with hover.  My nav and all other links hover fine.   
I am confused.  Does this affect my box?


I reframed my question to the forum.

Thanks for the feedback!  You are kind.

Hi Katherine,

This is a case of the specificity, or the weight of one selector  
winning over another selector.


You initially apply a rule using this selector:
#navigation ul a { }

You then apply a new rule for the :hover pseudo-class, using this  
selector:

#navigation a:hover { }

The third rule you apply is aimed at the last link in your  
navigation, where the class of feedback is applied. This only  
takes place when you also have the id of feedback applied to the  
body element.

#feedback #navigation .feedback a { }

The first rule's selector has a weight of: 0-1-0-2 (no inline  
styles, one ID, no classes and two elements)
The second rule's selector has a weight of: 0-1-1-1 (no inline  
styles, one ID, one pseudo-class and one element)
The third rule's selector has a weight of: 0-2-1-1 (no inline  
styles, two IDs, one class and one element)


As you can see, this third rule has much more weight than the two  
rules above so it wins out - the :hover rule will not be applied in  
this case. There are a number of solutions, but the quickest is to  
write a new rule just for this case, making sure the selector is  
specific enough, and has enough weight:

#feedback #navigation .feedback a:hover { }

Does this all make sense?

I have a simple presentation about specificity and the cascade  
online here if it helps:

Thanks
Russ

Re: [WSG] .box breaks up on feedback page.

2009-11-12 Thread Kathleen R Dery
Thanks Kepler!  I do think it has to do with browser-specific margins  
and padding also.  However, when I tried your CSS, there were two  
problems:  The filenames for the box parts are supposed to have an  
underscore.  I fixed that after trying the code the first time.  The  
results from both times of trying the CSS you provided are a square- 
cornered box.  I am puzzled because the boxes for the lists on other  
pages are fine with my CSS.  It is just the feedback page with the  
links, the bullets, and the external link icons.


Thanks again!

I think the problem is related to the different default margin/padding
values that different browsers default to. Try replacing this in  
your css

file:

/* --larger flexible rounded corner box--- */


.box_two {
   width: 400px;
   background: #da9c73 url(bottom-left.gif) no-repeat left bottom;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
}

.box_outer {
   background: url(bottom-right.gif) no-repeat right bottom;
padding: 0 0 5% 0;
margin: 0;
}

.box_inner {
   background: url(top-left.gif) no-repeat left top;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
}

.box_two ul {
   background: url(top-right.gif) no-repeat right top;
padding: 5% 5% 0 5%;
margin: 0;
}

Thanks, that is practical advise.  I will try it.

This is a good example where using a *logical* debugging process can
help immensely, especially when working with CSS and potential browser
bugs, and even if you aren't a CSS expert.

Based upon your statement above, have you confirmed that the feedback
page is in fact ok by removing all the aforementioned content to
confirm? Strip it back to the basic template with an empty content
column and only your list with the rounded corners and see what  
happens.

If everything is ok, then add the links, bullets etc back in one at a
time until you are able to re-create the problem. Once you know which
item is the offender, you can better deal with it.

FWIW I see the rounded corners just fine in FF 3.015 and FF 3.5.
