Re: [css-d] Targeting (or Hiding from) NS7 ?

Yes! There is a hack for this, and it is a lifesaver. One main problem I have with 7.1 and below is that they misinterpret the correct parent when absolutely positioning a child within a relatively positioned box - the absolutely positioned box goes to the grandparent instead of the parent. NN7.2

WHY WOULD IE 6 COPY THE LAST TWO CHARACTERS in the last DIV on a new line??? I mean, it's html code, why would the browser REPEAT IT TWICE? My guess is that it is the !--/div-- comments that you have after the div closes. This happened to me once. I can't tell you WHY ie does this; and it

Re: [css-d] Background Gradient

2005-12-19 Thread Eric Shepherd
If you make the gradient a little wider, it won't be a big bandwidth hit but it will allow the browser to draw the screen faster (it only has to draw a 10px image 100 times, but it has to repeat a 1px image 1000 times, for example).

Re: [css-d] Blocks wrapping

2005-12-19 Thread Eric Shepherd
Your padding adds to the widths you have declared - padding (except in IE in quirks mode) is not part of the declared box width. So, a 70% box with 5% padding added is really 80%. Adjust your sizes and padding so that their total is 99%, and you will be fine. Also, FWIW, I'd consider adjusting

You're displaying your ul as a list-item itself. You don't really mean to do that, you actually just want the lis inside of the ul to be list items. Take that instruction out of .list in your style sheet and you're good to go. On 10/19/05, 2geedesign [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: When viewing the

You have nothing set on the li elements to tell them to stack horizontally. You set display: inline-block on the ul, but the items inside the ul will stack as normal, which is vertically. Setting the display property on the ul will force it to sit horizontally with other block-level elements

The problem with that is, of course, that it is a very nice font, and italic, and substituting plain text would seriously degrade the graphic design. That said, what exactly do you need sliding doors for if you are using a graphic which is already presized? On 9/9/05, CJ Larson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
