Re: [WSG] Link underlines in MSIE - amended
Peter,
Thanks very much for the suggestion of a grey border on the other link
styles - you're right, it looks good.
I finally realised what was causing the bouncing; I had
"padding-bottom: 2px" on the hover state, but not on active or visited
- d'oh!! I'll get the hang of this one day...

Do you have a border on the a:link element? I think the bouncing is
because all the link styles should have bottom border (even if the
color
is transparent) although a pale gray would look nice, which goes darker
on rollover.
#navlist a
{
text-align: left;
margin-right: 10px;
display:block;
float:left;
}
#navlist a:link, #navlist a:visited
{
border-bottom: 2px solid transparent;
}
#navlist a:hover, #navlist a:active
{
border-bottom: 2px solid #color of your choice;
}

Hi,
I'm starting a new website and have a border-bottom style on the
a:hover menu links. It works perfectly in Safari but doesn't show up
at all in MSIE on the PC. Would a kind person take a look and tell me
where I'm going wrong?

Thanks for your help, Graham. The border-bottom rules appear now, but
the logo has disappeared and the banner image jumps when I mouse over

[WSG] Site which only works in IE?
Good morning, I'm working on the first three pages of a new website, www.zebragraphics.co.uk/tcs, which seems to only work properly in PC IE6 and breaks in Firefox (PC & Mac) and IE5, Safari and Camino on the Mac. I'm used to this being the other way around... There are working links to the 2 other pages, about.html and contact.html, the rest are unfinished and not yet uploaded. I've used 3 stylesheets, first.css which applies to the home page only, and main.css and second.css which will cover the rest of the site. (These differ only slightly, and will be chosen for each page depending on whether the navigation or content has the greater length) They are at www.zebragraphics.co.uk/tcs/styles/... The html and css all validates, except for some errors relating to a form on contact.html, (which I'm still working on) but I don't think that has any direct bearing here. Can anyone tell me what changes I need to make to please the other browsers?

Re: [WSG] when navigation schemes go bad.

For what it's worth, I thought this style sheet might be interesting.
We have a navigation that can be as deep as three nested elements. This

depending
on where the page sits in the navigation list.
[on v2, I changed sub1 to nav1 which is a better description for the

The following styles open, close the nested elements, highlight the

Of course, they say, why couldn't we just put a style in the head of

I've put an 'announcement box' near the foot of the page at www.ragamuffinbridal.co.uk (css at www.ragamuffinbridal.co.uk/styles/first.css). The text looks vertically centred in IE5, Firefox, Safari and Camino on the Mac, but again there's a problem in IE6 PC. I'm not sure if the text has shifted to the top or bottom (no PC here at the moment) but as the client has asked for it to be centred, it must be wrong. How do I fix this? XHTML and CSS validate.

CSS is at www.zebragraphics.co.uk/ragamuffin/styles/main.css First, I have extra space above and below the banner image - I just want 10px space, same as at the sides. Second, I've added a 15px top margin to the content div to get some space between the navigation and first heading, but IE6 Windows seems to add more. I know, it's Windows, but why this is happening? Last, IE5.3 Mac adds some white space below the footer, ie between the footer background colour and the container div border.

[WSG] First table-free site - part 2
Thanks to the help of other list members, my new website is coming along nicely, but now I have another question. See www.zebragraphics.co.uk/newzebra/pages/brochures/babtaca5.html for a sample page from the portfolio section of the site. I have tried and failed to come up with a way of putting the caption text to the right of the BABTAC image, within the content div. For now, I've put the text beneath the navigation buttons in the sidebar div, but I'm not really happy with it being there; to the right of the image seems a more appropriate place. So, can anyone tell me how/if I can put the text where I want it and, ideally, continue to have the whole page centred within the browser window?

I assume you want it to be just 100px in width, but in Firefox at
least it
is being rendered as 110px. To my mind this would explain the extra
5px at
either side of the logo. Try without the lines I've indicated above
and see
if that makes a difference.
If Iain's right (and I think he almost is), you should do the same for
the width declarations for div#container as well. Not sure that you've
got the hack right - IE5 can still see the \width declaration with the
leading slash. The w\idth declaration will work for IE5 if the width
needs to be different, but it's not complete See

Re: [WSG] First table-free site
Wow! I'm overwhelmed - many thanks to all who responded - my page is
looking good now. Just another 30 or so to do...!

Mary,
Firstly, welcome and well done for getting on with table-less design.
Like
the nutty electric zebras :o)
You challenge is to do with padding on the image container. Simply set
that
to 0 --
#banner {
padding: 0;
margin-bottom: 5px;
}
(Incidentally, you don't need to specify what is zero. zero is zero,
so you
won't need 0px, just 0.)
you can also kill the bottom margin if you want a flush fit with the
body.
and then adjust your overall width down by 10px to compensate --
#container {
width: 700px;
\width: 720px;
w\idth: 700px;
...
}
Since the masthead contributes nothing to the accessibility of the
page, you
may want to make it a background image to the banner div by sticking
the
image reference in the CSS using --
#banner {
background: transparent url(../media/webheader.jpg) no-repeat top
right;
padding: 0;
margin-bottom: 5px;
}
Have a good one,

Subject: [WSG] First table-free site
I'm new to this list and this is my first post. I'm trying to produce
my first table-free website - tables have been my very dear friends in
the past!
I used the CSS from
http://www.inknoise.com/experimental/layoutomatic.php and it's going
quite well except for one thing - there seems to be an extra 5px
padding above and to the left of the image in the banner div - see
www.zebragraphics.co.uk/newzebra/index.html. CSS is at
www.zebragraphics.co.uk/styles/main.css. This is very much a work in
progress so the links don't work yet, but can anyone tell me where I'm
going wrong? Have checked in FF, Safari and IE5 for Mac, and FF and IE5
for windows - all have same result.
I tried validating the page before I posted this message, but was very
confused by the results - there were 32 instances of: "end tag for
meta ommited, but OMITTAG NO was specified"??? The end tags are
certainly there. I don't know what OMITTAG NO means.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Mary Wright
