If your response is going to be that I need to validate the html/CSS before you can consider my question, then please STOP NOW and do NOT reply; no hard feelings - I understand. While I am aware that the html and CSS will not validate (around 70 errors); I'm in a corner here. Our CMS does not pr

Re: [css-d] Float drop... Can float:left drop left?

2012-05-11 Thread Venditelli, Daniel - Web Development Administrator
The columns are dropping the way they are as much because of the source order of your code as the float properties. I think the only way you'll be able to get the LEFT columns to drop instead of the RIGHT columns would be to reverse your source order AND use float fight. i.e. As I understand it yo

Since I haven't seen another reply to this, while I certainly don't KNOW the answer, I have a very strong feeling this has to do with how retina displays scale background images differently due to the increased physical resolution of the screen. Perhaps the following discussion might help.. - http

Maybe I'm missing something, but if you design for a larger screen resolution, than without the scroll bar the smaller screen view would not only have the information off-screen, they would never be able to see it. Seems like the scroll bar is helping you out there rather than hurting you. Beyond

I won't speak to appropriate min/max sizes for "most" as that debate seems to already be handling itself quite nicely without me. ;) However, if you want to look into responsive design, Ethan's books is short, to the point and filled with more than enough info to get your feet wet. It's well worth

You can easily add a margin on the tag within the footer to push the text down the page to where you need it to be. The height and width you added are NOT for your background image but rather for the DIV you are assigning it to. Otherwise that div will only grow as large as your content, the cop

Shame they didn't refer to it as grid-cell, grid-row and grid-column. At least then it wouldn't be so confusing given that so many of us have been around long enough to remember when tables were the only method for complex layouts. Maybe they're just expecting that full and final adaptation won'

Just keep in mind that if you do use than you layout won't hold up as soon as someone with slightly older eyes uses their browser settings to increase the font-size even a single step where-as the table MAY hold up a little better. Or, if you're not worried about that, keep a note somewhere so
