RE: [WSG] Opera 9.10 Margin

Hi Kepler, Many thanks for your reply. However I already have a background image on the elements (the vertical pipe separating each link), and I have not found a way to add this extra image as a background the the first element. Do you have any suggestions please? > Hi Sarah, > > The problem

[WSG] Opera 9.10 Margin

One more query please: Can anyone please explain why in Opera 9.10 (both WIN XP and Mac OSX) that the first navigation list element sits a pixel lower than the others. They all line up perfectly in other browsers (despite the icon in the first link). URL: CSS:

Re: [WSG] IE 6 Horizontal Menu Shift

Many thanks Philippe, I managed to add a 40px left padding to the IE6 style sheet, and leave it as 4% for other browsers. Not perfect, but workable. Much appreciated :) > > When you click on a link in Win XP IE6 the whole list moves > > horizontally. > > > > I've tried lots of things, but can't

[WSG] IE 6 Horizontal Menu Shift

Hi all, Wondering if anyone has a quick minute to look at this problem. When you click on a link in Win XP IE6 the whole list moves horizontally. I've tried lots of things, but can't seem to find the bug. URL: CSS: Man

[WSG] Usability Questions for Quicktime

Hi all, I am using the code below to embed a .mov file, which is standards compliant in XHTML 1.0 Strict. Two questions please: 1. What is the best way to "hide" the movie from browsers that don't support quicktime (or from users who don't want to download quicktime)? 2. Is there a different fi

Re: [WSG] including files with php produces 12px margin height ???

Perhaps a little off topic, but I'd suggest that you may have introduced some white space before and after your php code. Any empty lines between xhtml and php will introduce so-called "margins". > I don't know any more... Is it me, or it is some kind of stupid > software's > sh... problem? > >

[WSG] Broken Links and New Windows

Hi all, On the subject of opening new windows (which I am also opposed to), how should a "report broken link" be configured? My thinking is that if someone bothers to take the time to report a broken link, we should make it as easy as possible for them to do so. Opening a new window allows them

[WSG] Accessible Multi-Column List

Hi all, I have been researching the best way to display a multi-column list, and have come up against some problems. Basically I need to show a list of links in two columns, alphabetical vertically (one column will not suffice as the list is too long). I've seen a number of options for styling a

[WSG] Absolute URLs, RSS Feeds & Mod_Rewrite

Hi all I am playing with mod_rewrite to make user/SE friendly urls of a database driven website. I have noticed that CMSs like WordPress (I'm *not* using WP for this project) make use of absolute urls, and that someone on WP's forum mentioned that absolute urls are important for RSS feeds. I alw
