I am not advocating Richard Fink's blog as a shining example of page layout, and can't account for his decisions in typesetting. His technical knowledge of the latest in implementations of CSS font embedding is spot on though, and he can be relied upon to keep readers abreast. I think the name of t

Re: [css-d] Trying to Remove Hover BG on IMG

Well, I think I've found a solution to the IE issue with the background-color on hover. I replaced: #main a:hover img { background-color: transparent; } with... #main a:hover img { background-color: #fdf5e6; } It matches the background color. Works :-) But I've discovered another i

Hi, I have two unordered lists, where each list has 1 list item with 2 links. If I float the list items and anchors left, all 4 anchors line up horizontally as expected. If I add a margin to the list items (but not the anchors), all anchors move down and are still horizontally lined up as expec

To clarify - I'm not trying to find an alternate solution to improve my test program work or make it work properly - I'm hoping someone can explain to me why the combination of floats & negative margins that I'm using are behaving as they are -- I'm just trying to understand this aspect of CSS.

I think this makes sense. Because the s are floated the s have 0 height, so they both start at the same location. When you add negative margin to the first it's pulled above the containing . The second when floated left only sees the beginning of the and then is pulled up, and thereby overlappin

Thanks so much for the explanation, Kevin. What you're saying totally makes sense! And it explains why that negative margin acts differently from the positive margin (in the latter case, the 2nd li bumps into the margin). But I'm wondering why putting a1px border on the list elements makes the
