Re: [WSG] CSS height/padding

2007-08-01 Thread al morris
Hi Christian,

Use option 1 with em units instead of pixels for your top and bottom
padding. The padding will increase as the text resizes.

Re: [WSG] Disappearing positioned footer in IE7 - works in IE6

2007-04-27 Thread al morris

Sorry, I should have mentioned it only works in Strict mode.

This is an excellent example of why not to use hacks, but use your design
skills.

Agreed, it's a mess, but Cole asked for a hack version. Conditional comments
is the best method.

Re: [WSG] Disappearing positioned footer in IE7 - works in IE6

2007-04-24 Thread al morris

Hi,

IE 7 now supports the *html hack, so the 'position: relative' style is being
applied. You can still add hacks for IE 6 and/or IE 7 but it's tricky..

If you need to send something to IE6 and nothing else: use the underscore
attribute hack (_border:1px solid pink;)

If you want to send something to IE7 AND IE6, use the attribute hack
(*border:1px solid black;).

If you want to send something to IE7 and NOT IE6, use a combination
(*border:1px solid black; _border:1px solid pink;).

Try adding an underscore in the IE 6 class...

*html #bottom_nav {   /*Enables the footer to be positoned below the
wrapper in IE6*/

   _position: relative;

   bottom: -75px;

   right: 25px;

   text-align: right;

   width: 100%;

   height: 50px;

}

 Hello All –



I was having an absolutely-positioned footer problem in IE6 which was
fixed with the following:



#bottom_nav {/*Compliant Browsers*/

position: absolute;

bottom: -75px;

right: 25px;

text-align: right;

width: 100%;

height: 50px;

}



*html #bottom_nav {   /*Enables the footer to be positoned below the
wrapper in IE6*/

position: relative;

bottom: -75px;

right: 25px;

text-align: right;

width: 100%;

height: 50px;

}



Yes, well, now that IE 7 has come out the footer ***Poof!*** vanishes –
like it did under IE6 previous to the implementation of he above *html
declaration.



Could someone give me a lead on what to do about this issue in IE 7?



Unfortunatly, I am not allowed to use conditional comments to issue
version specific declarations – which makes problems like these very
difficult to deal with.



If you'd like to see the problem live, please go to
http://terashock.terapad.com/ in FF or IE6 and scroll to the bottom of the
page to view how the footer is suppose to look; then view the same page in
IE7.



Any and all assistance greatly appreciated!



Cole

Re: [WSG] background image

Most likely it's a bug in IE, try adding position: relative to fix it.
