Rather than try to divine my intent, I'll simply repeat my query, does anyone know of a tool that allows one to inquire of a browser, what exactly is that font, right ... there? If the answer is no, fine, I'll play the trial-and-error game. Thank you. From: Felix Miata [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [css-d] background color not working in div

2006-07-31 Thread Chris Williams
Because your div with the background-color defined is called main_content, and it is empty (div/div), and the div with all the text in it is called main_content_text and it has no background. Perhaps you meant the /div for the main_content div to be at the bottom of the main_content_text div,

2006-05-09 Thread Chris Williams
I'm experiencing a weird space difference between IE and Gecko (FF specifically) and want to confirm it with the group. Do IE and Gecko handle empty divs differently? I have a case where there are a couple of empty divs (programmatically generated) at the bottom of the page. It looks like IE

I'm trying to get a search bar at the top of each page. But I don't want it to take over the world... I want a relatively small entry field with a reasonably sized search button just to the right of the text entry box. This will live on the right side, with my breadcrumbs on the left. So I
