Re: [WSG] Help With CSS

[Prisca schmarsow]

Olajide,

we are trying to help, you know...

if it's wordpress - you might need to edit your theme templates :-)
(and maybe tighten up your CSS)

the reason for the different behaviour here relates to the theme templates
used by default the index page does have a different template compared
to the individual caegory or post page, ie there can be a different
structure... have a look at your 'boxes' with the web dev toolbar ad you'll
see what I mean...

good luck, Prisca

Rafael,

I personally have used Visual Quickstart Guides for many years now. They are
not expensive, practical to use as a reference and also quite a good read on
a plane or whenever. In the meantime, Indiana
Universityhas
a pretty good write-up on css structure, jack daniels has a good
tool  to see
what's happening, blaze media has a good
wayof filing
your files so that debugging is simpler and Jennifer Madden has
built a firefox
extensionthat
I've used for awhile now (and I love!) that shows the structure of
your
code if you right-click and view source in a preview window.

RE: [WSG] HELP with CSS

[Ted Drake]

Hi Olajide

Your page suffers from a common ailment. You are approaching CSS before
structural markup.

You need to re-build your page with semantic markup and then apply the CSS.

Here are some common problems that you have.

Multiple h1 elements. The H1 should only appear once and should define the
whole page. Flyer Design and Nu' Image... should be h3 elements.

Div class="thumbnail" is repeated. Divs have no structure and are just a
container. This should be an unordered list with each div an li and
class="thumbnail" applied to the ul

Why are you using a block quote when there is no quote inside? 

In 2005, me and a couple of the youth took on this project to start
a youth magazine for the church. Here is the outcome. Designed by yours
truely. 


This is a statement by yourself and you are not referencing an outside
source. The blockqoute is an incorrect use.

Don't use inline images to replace a simple background color: 
  


  


Be careful with using color:#fff without applying a background color to the
container. Look at your site with images disabled, white on white text is
not very useful.

To repeat, you're not alone. Too many people approach CSS without having a
good understanding of structural markup. Your code will be bloated and you
will end up with complicated CSS until you understand how to use the
structural elements correctly.

Actually, the above should *not* work as "index" is not the ID of an LI, but an 
A

Thanks John.

Once I realized the problem was a specificity issue, I changed the 
internal style block to:


li#index a, li#index a:hover ...

Which is not quite what you did, but it's similar.

Yours is better, it's more explicit about what is being styled.

I'd say "specificity", try this:
#every_page li #index, 
#every_page li #index:hover { color: #4F; background: #003173; 
cursor:default;}

Hi José,

I don't think you need a hack for IE, just to set the line height for 
#contentright li. I did this:


#contentright li{
  background: url(images/flech.gif) no-repeat left top;
  font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
  font-size: 0.7em;
  line-height: 1.2; /*!!! new !!!*/
  margin: 5px;
  padding: 3px 0 2px 13px;
}

And the right section looks OK in IE and Firefox, although the difference 
in font size remains.

José,
Before you try to fix the issue with CSS, try removing the whitespace
between the list items in the markup.
IE has a problem with whitespace in there.

Re: [WSG] Help with CSS

[russ - maxdesign]

Hey Jose,

It seems that you are referring to the  elements within the
#contentright ?

I don¹t have IE in front of me but there is a known "whitespace bug" to do
with IE and list items.

There are a range of methods that can be used to fix it including:

1. floating the 

2. setting the  element to display block, moving the background image to
this element and then adding "display: inline" to overcome whitespace
issues. 

3. using negative margins on the 

4. playing with border-bottom on the 

Best to try them all and see which suits your needs.

On another note, you seem to have linked to the one css file twice in the
head of your document.

First link:
http://constantconcept.com/wp-content/themes/mio/style.css";
type="text/css" media="screen" />

Second link:




If the aim is to hide styles from older browsers, the second method may be
best, but it would definitely be best to link to the same file only once...
Unless I am missing something here  :)

Finally, everyone stuffs up their first post or two to mail lists. I think I
stuffed up my first 20 or so... Don't stress about it!

HTH
Russ

It may be a simple case of making sure you set the margin and padding on 
the ul and li elements, as they do have different default values in 
different browsers.  It could be a double-margin float bug.  It could be 
one of many thousands of IE bugs.


Start at position is everything, look through the IE bugs and see if you 
can find one that resembles your problem.  If not, provide much more 
information about your page.  A link to the page is the most useful.

It's not a good idea to start a new thread by replying to another

and deleting the quote (Both of which you initially failed to do.) isn't 
good enough either, since the message may still contain headers that

Re: [WSG] Help with CSS

Jose - Probably a margin padding issue.  Try reducing the padding margin
and position the bullets with the xy positioning on the background rule
for the li or a:li.

I'm not that great with css, you'll probably get some better answers.
Have a nice holiday.

problem I'm having. I'm only new to web design and CSS, and am

I'm trying to create a site but it is displaying differently in 
Firefox and IE and I'm not sure why.
 
It is a two column template, with the navigation in the left column. 
There is an image which is supposed to span the entire width of the 
right column.
 
In Firefox, the left nav displays correctly, but in IE, the nav is 
moved further to the right than it is supposed to be, so I've had to 
make the image narrower than it should be to fit into the right 
column. This means that in Firefox, the image doesn't quite reach all 
the way to the right edge.
 
The URL is http://learnline.cdu.edu.au/pathways if you need to have a 
look.
 
I've gone through everything I can think of and still can't fix it.
 
Any suggestions (in layman's terms) would be appreciated.
 
Thank you,

Welcome, Kym. You're almost certainly falling foul of IE's incorrect 
interpretation of the CSS Box Model. Have a look at Big John's site [1] 
for a rundown on this and other teeth-gnashing inconsistencies you're 
likely to encounter trying to get your site(s) to render properly in 
IE.

One thing I always do is use a Strict Doctype. I find then that the
rendering between browsers is much more consistent that a
Transistional Doctype.
