Thanks Andrew :)
I need something more cross-browser compatible though :(
I did do something that's a bit ugly but it works great - thought I
would share in case anyone else needed the idea for future reference (or
can improve upon it!)
Basically, I created a print class in my stylesheet - in
I've seen a lot of requests (in my searches for this answer) for people
who want to display background images with CSS. It seems I want
something different, and I can't seem to find the answer to this. I'm
hoping you all can help :)
What I want to do is display the alt text for my images,

How about the fact that you're using font tags that are overriding the
CSS calls?
a title=Another Vietnam, from National Geographic Books
href=http://short Link target=_blank
font face=Arial color=#d8d8d8 size=2Another Vietnam/font/a
You need to get rid of those font tags.

Wow - a lot of you responded :) Thanks so much! Let me see what I can
say about this...
1) I'm trying to avoid javascript solutions at all costs - I'd love for
this to work in CSS-only. I've been playing with the idea for a lng
time and I've partially gotten it to work (got it to work
Here's an odd one...and this is purely for theoretical purposes.
I was just wondering if there was any possible way to have a link remain
one color until another one is clicked upon, using *only* CSS.
For example, if you had a UL list comprised of 5 links, would it be
possible to hover over

Yes, but that only works when you click the button (or mouse down).
When you unclick and move away, the color doesn't remain behind, it
reverts to the visited color. What I'm looking for is the active
state to stay, until another link

Hey all - I'm hoping you can help me out with this. I just got a brand
spankin' new site to work on today - again this is someone else
designing, and I code the layout from the image they send me. I haven't
started yet, so I'm clean as a whistle and prepared to take on any
suggestions or
Interesting! But difficult to say ( for me, though) if there is no
concrete code: lack of data. Does it need to be horizontally liquid?
Right now, I'm going to say no. I'm planning to code this out with a
fixed-width site that gets centered - that's *typically* what my boss
wants. But the
And I don't see *why* the need for floating the caption.
OMG - Duh. I guess sometimes all you need is a fresh pair of eyes! I
had it floated from something I was trying about a week ago - I guess I
forgot to remove that! Thanks so much - that totally fixed the problem :)

I was hoping someone could tell me why IE5 Mac is displaying table cells
so very weirdly on this site:

There are two tables on the site - one for the header stuff (and it's
displaying just fine), the other for the tabular data on the right of
the screen
You can't use the swf in the css background property. But you could
place an object with absolute positioning and z-index under a div. You
have to add background transparency to the flash (and pray...).
Actually, this will not work. Flash uses a plugin which occupies a
z-index outside the

When the page initially loaded, I didn't see a stylesheet. So I pulled
up your stylesheet and it looked fine. Both the HTML and CSS validate.
What's funny is, when I clicked the back button in my browser,
suddenly the stylesheet was applied.
The only thing I could think of that *might* be

That's the site in question.
I got it to look like it should in everything I've got to check it in.
However, for some reason, the header - in IE only - is jumping. When you
load up the page, it is pushed up against the left dotted side thingy, but

Nothing like a good giggle in the morning, thanks all.
I just wanted to address this quickly, since the point is moot now. No,
this was *not* for a local intranet - it was for their actual website for
the public. These guys seriously believe that the majority of their clients
use IE4.
I've just been told that the site I'm working on - the target browser is
*IE4*. I'm like, you've got to be kidding me.
Would anyone here have good links or information on what happens with a pure
CSS layout when using IE4? Is it like Netscape 4 when it comes to CSS? I
haven't even seen one
Just for the record, this can be seen as a feature. Wrapping ensures that
all the text is still visible and readable without scrolling.
I *s* agree with this. I was just saying this *exact* same thing to
someone else today.
But I understand how clients generally don't like it.
Why can't

Now I have a new question :)
I'm trying to make this site completely CSS-based. This is something I can
usually accomplish without an issue. Most times, I can create a site with

it's no one's issue. Things are still
This is an interesting one posed by a new client site. They would like to

I was hoping someone here might be able to give me an alternate idea for
this situation.
I'm using the Son of Suckerfish dropdowns on a client's site (I can't post
the link, as I'm a subcontractor, and I have an NDA - so I'll do my best to
describe the issue at hand!). The issue is this:
When drodown or flyout menus have more than 6 or 7 items, it is probably
time to rethink the navigation design.
This seems less of a CSS issue and much more of a design/IA issue.
Although, normally, I'd agree with both of you, for the question I posed
these comments don't follow through :(
Well, I thank you all for your help on this :) I love it when clients ask
the impossible and get all pissy when you can't deliver. Now they don't

see all the stuff - they want it to hover LOL (No, please - make it
Now, I'm usually not concerned at all with IE 5 for Mac. This question is

So, I'm trying to
I like it (from a design perspective) :) As a former WW player myself, this

I don't know how much I can help with this, but I'm going to take a chance
and step out there with what little I know :)

looks the same in all three browsers (which also looks the same on Mozilla

Something I have found - and I don't know why this is - but if you remove
the background-position from your #wrapper div in your stylesheet, the
flicker will stop. For some reason - even if your page is set to reload
every visit, in IE, if you have the background position set, it'll make the
I have a project coming up in the very near future. It's for a company that

It's because you have invalid characters on your page. Most likely, you got
the content from a Microsoft Word document, instead of a plain text file?
And you just copied and pasted it? Microsoft Word (and other formattable

A problem I see with some of these so far is the use of floats. I have
seen and know of problems with printing floats.
Yes, but when printing your pages, it's easy to fix that issue - just put
float:none; in the print stylesheet. Usually, that's all it takes. You
might have to mess with

Normally, I don't have a problem creating a print stylesheet. It's rather
easy to just remove the images and display:none to stuff that's not
important so you just get the text. I'm also aware that, under normal
circumstances, you should really try to avoid putting in images and such so
