Re: [css-d] [ADMIN] Hello, my friends, hello

I haven’t posted on this because I’m not a “real” web developer, just a volunteer webmaster for my church, and wasn’t sure whether my 2¢ would be of any interest or relevance, but for what it’s worth, this list has been a really wonderfully helpful resource for me several times, over the years.

[css-d] Wrong Selector?

I’m trying to build a very small web site for my church’s capital campaign, using Bootstrap, and I can’t change the color of the font in the header. I put a style in the section that changes the background color fine, but the same selector doesn’t change the font color: .navbar {

[css-d] Clearing floats in a clears a previous float I didn't want cleared...

I am a volunteer webmaster for a couple of churches, and on one site all pages have a header div across the top, and below that a navigation div floated left with main content div flowing to its right. One page lists parish events of which we have photos and/or video elsewhere on the site. Curr

[css-d] "Speed Report" sees 2 images loading instead of one?

I just uploaded a new design for the church of which I'm a volunteer web guy. The HTML and CSS validate. A "Speed Report" sees two large background images loading for the header/banner, but I think my CSS only should load one. They're big images, so if it's loading both of them, it's a rea

Re: [css-d] Float Drop by blockquote in IE6

> you apply the 'fix' to the wrong element. Try: > blockquote {word-spacing: 1px;} Ah! I thought it was the italics themselves -- thanks! Hmm... I just tried it, quickly, and it fixed it in IE6 but IE5.5 still has the float dropped. (On the browser comparison service I use, anyway.) I don

[css-d] Float Drop by blockquote in IE6

ML and CSS were checked and validate with the w3c tools. Page with float drop in IE6: http://tinyurl.com/dczg8v Page with no float drop -- only difference is that I commented out the blockquote: http://tinyurl.com/aw4uly CSS (same in both pages): http://ti
