Re: [css-d] List items in columns

I'm not sure if it's quite what you want, but you could use something like: LABEL:VALUE ... with css specifying a width for label in ems (and other styling, of course). Zach On Wed, Sep 10, 2008 at 00:35, Gunlaug Sørtun <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Jim wrote: > > Is there any way to lay out

Re: [css-d] Selecting from sibling elements

2008-02-02 Thread Zach Shepherd
I'd suggest reading up on sibling selectors ( http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/selector.html#adjacent-selectors, http://www.456bereastreet.com/archive/200510/css_21_selectors_part_2/). I believe (someone jump in if I'm giving bad advice), that it could be accomplished using something like what is belo

icles/2007surveyresults. It'd be nice to see a survey focused on css development habit, but it would be silly to go to the effort of development if there's very limited interest. Regards (and apologies for the slightly off topic post), Zach On Jan 25, 2008 10:44 PM, Zach Shepherd <

Re: [css-d] Doctypes rendering comparision table (my 5c)

2008-01-27 Thread Zach Shepherd
I may be the only one who feels this way, but what started as a reasonable question has become very off topic (DTDs have nothing to do with CSS). I say this not only because off topic messages are considered annoying by some, but also because it means you are asking the wrong group of people. Those

If you're interested in quirks mode, what affect is has on css rendering, and how to use doctypes to avoid quirks mode, http://www.quirksmode.org/css/quirksmode.html has a pretty good explanation. Zach On Jan 26, 2008 6:55 AM, Toby Curl <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Gunlaug Sørtun wrote: > > > Al

I'll bite. I haven't seen any comprehensive surveys about css development habits and I certainly think it'd be an interesting thing to get some more information on. I'd certainly be open to suggestions about questions/topics. In the interest of keeping Off Topic posts off of the list, I'd ask tha

The menu works wonderfully now, thanks... it hadn't occurred to me to set the positions of the sub menus, but I can see why you'd need it. I was hoping that fixing the menu was going to fix everything, but I'm still seeing the other issues (the double bottom margin in pre IE 7 as well as the motto

[css-d] Strange difference in IE

2007-01-08 Thread Zach Shepherd
I've been working on a rough layout, and can't figure out what exactly IE is doing or why... it looks "fine" in FF2, and (I just checked quickly) appears to look the same in Opera and Netscape... The layout obviously isn't very far, but the area in question is the navigation menu. It's based on qu

"Accepted" and "very correct" have two different definitions as far as I'm concerned (how can something be very correct anyway?) Would creating a hack to force the display of two spaces not be akin to using tags improperly (such as using a h1 tag simply to make big text)? I do agree that with mon

I'm having some issues getting a page to display properly in MSIE (what a surprise). http://shepherdspecialties.com/p-ville_dev/ In FF and Opera, it looks fine to me (the bar on the right is a bar on the right), but MSIE seems to have a problem re-arranging it. I can't figure out if it's a bug i

This may not solve your problem, but it would be my first guess: Give all of them an tag, anly put href on the links that need it, and use 2 seperate classes; one that sets the background for the current link and one that sets the background for the rest... Maybe someone can improve on this... O
