[css-d] Could browsers miss CSS declarations?

Hello, Browsers usually miss downloading images, due to some network issues. But I've never come to see browsers miss interpreting CSS declarations. Is that, technically speaking, possible? The most obvious example in my head is CSS background colors. Lets say this CSS style rule is declared on a

[css-d] Expandable Divs

Hi all, I have a situation where 2 divs are sitting next to each other (floated left and right), sometime the right div is not required and it is not shown, is it possible for the left div to take over that place left by the right div? Thanks. __

[css-d] HTML source editing in textarea for RTL languages

Here's an issue that's been puzzling my mind for a few days: How do speakers of RTL languages use an online HTML source editor? Take this example: http://lensco.be/lensco.be/test/html_in_RTL_textarea/ It's nothing more than a bit of valid html inside a textarea. This is the way virtually all onlin

Hi, I was reading this article on Smashing Magazine which shows how to increase code readability, http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2008/05/02/improving-code-readability-with-css-styleguides/ but I have listened to Andy Clarke over Lynda.com saying that one should save the white space as it incre

This is one of those 'Horses for Courses' arguments. Having been a programmer in machine code which had to fit onto 1K (yes 1K !!!) ROMs, I've been used to "byte fighting" and I've seen so called code optimisers, which have never been as good as the human hand. These days, life's much easier, b

Re: [css-d] Implementing "float: center;"

The only way I can think of to achieve what you are after is with two or three divs, each with a %-based width, with the text broken up into left and right of the picture. If you have dynamic content, which I am guessing you do, that may not be practical. If you want text to the left of a picture

Re: [css-d] Implementing "float: center;"

See http://developer.apple.com/internet/webcontent/bestwebdev.html. They call it "CSS with Minimal Tables". Nothing wrong with a little structure, and using tables is much easier and faster then divs and floating things about. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL P

[css-d] Overflow Hidden Headache

I can't for the life of me figure out how to do what I'd like. I've tried several 3-col layouts that get very close to what I'd like to do. But one issue I can't figure out is how to have my round image in the upper right of the page IN the right hand column, but also have the top edge of it hang
