[css-d] Site (menu) check please

I wonder if you could help me check a menu I have employed in a new web site : www.treyarnon.com I have used the suckerfish routines to provide one link to a dropdown (the images) and I currently have no access to IE7 or 8. I have checked in safari, opera, IE6 and Firefox, but a reliable sour

Re: [css-d] Vertically centering text in a paragraph

Tim: I know you said that you didn't want to go the table way, but a table in this case is perfectly acceptable, insofar as the relationship between the image and text is a tabular one. I wouldn't hesitate to use a table here, so long as it's marked up properly. Bob - Original Message --

Wayne, I have used Dreamweaver libraries for some years now, and found them invaluable. Google "dreamweaver libraries" and you'll get lots of hits. Here's one: http://webdesign.about.com/od/dreamweaverhowtos/a/aa090406.htm (picked at random). Libraries will change your life! Bob www.gwelanm

Re: [css-d] Site check: List Item menu in different browsers

Hi Scott, It seems to be a function of text size. It works at some settings (small), but falls apart as you enlarge. Your text height is set in ems, whereas your margins etc are in pixels. HTH, Bob - Original Message - From: To: Sent: Tuesday, March 03, 2009 4:40 PM Subject: [css

Re: [css-d] vertical align div

A properly marked up table with 1-row of 3-cells (in this case) is valid (and accessible) and is the only robust solution I know of for all browsers. The extremists will complain about table layout of course, but it's a case of being pragmatic in making the thing work - simply, and without any

[css-d] IE6 not working in XHTML

For IE bugs I usually just keep widths and heights, padding and margins in separate "boxes". And this site (www.tibbles.net/misc/blog) works fine in IE 5.5, and 7, 8, firefox, NN, and a bunch of others that I got screenshots for. What on earth is going on with 6.0?? I'm completely stuck here

Re: [css-d] Double space after a period

I've looked around for a stable solution which doesn't involve putting  ,   etc all over the content (that's presentational :-) ) and can only come up with using the old tag (for strikeout): s{ padding-right: 1em; text-decoration : none; } then, blah blah.blah blah. It seems to work,

Hi Janie, If you are talking about small(ish) graphics, you can produce the graphic twice the size it should be, then specify the graphic dimensions as 50%, so that when someone resizes, you've got some way to go to get to the 'real' size, then a bit more until it breaks up, or pixelates, or

[css-d] font family?

I was 'brought up' to believe that, when specifying fonts, one should quote a family such as 'Verdana, Arial, Sans Serif'. This means, of course, that if a user doesn't have Verdana, the page will select the next available font on his/her system. However, when I validate CSS, it tells me th
