[css-d] Same CSS, Same Browser But Looks Different Locally/Online

Hello CSS Discuss, I am really stumped by why there are some slight differences when viewing my work locally and then online, since I am using the same exact CSS and the same browser. Unfortunately, I can not provide a URL to the page because it is proprietary and I have signed an NDA.

Thanks for your reply. No I have not tried comparing the markup in winMerge, is that for windows only? I am on a Mac. I am using Dreamweaver and that is what I use to save my files. I have been working on several pages of the site for the past few weeks and this is the first time I am running

Wait, are you comparing the preview in Dreamweaver to what you see in a browser? I don't use Dreamweaver, but IIRC the appearance of the preview should be taken with a grain of salt, and to look at the page in whatever browsers you are planning to support. Kevin On Thu, Mar 24, 2011 at 11:45

No. I only hand code in Dreamweaver so I don't use their design view. I am viewing the files via FF, through a local mamp web server. And then I view the files again, in the same browser, FF but on the web server on the domain name of the site. and that is where the discrepancy shows up. Elli

[css-d] Browser Stacking Issues

2011-03-24 Thread Tim Wolf
I'm running some browser-specific stacking issues with Flash objects on two different pages: 1. In Chrome (Mac Win) and IE 7 8, the css drop-downs on the left of this page fall behind the flash MP3 player in the left column. Seems like this would be a stacking issue but can't pin it down.

- Try floating the img left, and add something to clear the parent div. - Or putting the cork board before the image, which seems contrary to normal flow, but with the cork board floated right, the img shouldn't bump down. Kevin On Thu, Mar 24, 2011 at 1:26 PM, Rory Bernstein

First clear all cache files from your system; Then if this doesn't solve, then try loading the files from your desktop to your server using the ftp client. DON'T USE DREAMWEAVER'S FTP FACILITY; It is likely that dreamweaver is not loading the changed files. I have seen these things happen

In my opinion this could have a bunch of causes. Did you load the local files with file://... or do you have a server running locally and go through localhost? Might the remote server have a OS running that uses case sensitive file names, whiule your local OS does not? Maybe when viewed

[css-d] height and width specifications

Is there any reason to specify an image's height and width on the img tag rather than (or in addition to) specifying in the CSS? Could specifying the width and height only in the CSS be a reason that an image might load more slowly (in modern browsers)? Thanks, Sara

Is there any reason to specify an image's height and width on the img tag rather than (or in addition to) specifying in the CSS? Setting and image's width and height in the HTML code, reserves the space for that element before image gets loaded. I don't think there is any other advantage,
