Re: [css-d] Forcing Widows on Paragraph to Right of Floated Image Not to Wrap Under

2015-04-15 Thread Philip Taylor
In all the p.~1 examples currently visible, the problem could be solved by simply treating the problem as a 2-column one; for a more general solution that would allow very long text over-runs to continue under the image rather than alongside, I would try an approach that places each paragraph in it

[css-d] Forcing Widows on Paragraph to Right of Floated Image Not to Wrap Under

2015-04-15 Thread Rick Gordon
I'm wondering if there is a pure-CSS way to force widowed lines in a pargraph to the right of a floated image which is long enough to have a line or two wrap underneath the image. See the bottom couple of posts at http://www.theshelterblog.com/ , where at a 1200+ px window width, the lines wra

IMHO, from a UI standpoint, having a hover on anything implies that a user can click it or something will happen to add to the experience, like your dropdown or a pop-up of additional information for example.

The z-index allows you to effect the "vertical stacking order" of elements. That is, the order of page elements as if they were stacking up, getting closer to (or farther away from) you. https://css-tricks.com/almanac/properties/z/z-index/ On Wed, Apr 15, 2015 at 10:14 AM D'Arcy J.M. Cain wrot
