Re: [css-d] IE spacing question

Any help is appreciated, John You are mixing apples and oranges (among other things). An element can't be both float and absolute positioned. Putting the margin for the nav on the li instead of the ul fixes (sort of) IE6 and IE7. The border attribute is not valid with an xhtml 1.0 strict doctype.

Not to rain on your parade but you'll be more successful with CSS if allow the software to do the work and embrace Web standards and accessibility.

The comments I made regarding Opera are when I veiwed it on a mac:
Version
9.21
Build
3678
Platform
MacOS X
System
10.4.9
If page height is an issue could you split the pages or use js to open
and close division sections.
With regard to fonts, I am referring more to IE's inability to scale
fonts when set in pixels, /regardless of page height,/ unless the user
goes through the drill of putting the browser in accessiblity mode
with the ignore font-sizes specified box checked.
One way to avoid this is to set percent at user default (100%) on the
body, and then use percent on individual selectors throughout the style
sheet as needed (line-height is best specified as a raw number).
For example:
body {font: 100%/1.4 arial, helvetica, sans-serif;}
h1 {font-size: 180%;}
#footer p {font-size: 80%; line-height: 1.2;}

Did not try it, but... try re-setting to 100% on the body, reducing the
font-size on the nav (and repeating the image on the nav y-axis)?

font : 100% Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; --- ::

What is the most efficient way to display a non-inline image

As a 'background-image' within a div?
With an inline style, with 'display' set to 'block'?

If as an inline style, is there a way to define this back in the style sheet

Some other way?

If the logo is purely decorative (no image text) then my guess is one
would use a background image.
If the logo has image text then I guess you might call it from the
source document (html); and, call the style for it from an external css
file (rather than using inline styles). For example:
#header img {...}
And, then also provide some means for users, with or without assistive
devises (screen readers), to read the image text. This is one such
technique:

H1-H6 in Opera have their own unique preference sizes in px unrelated to
whatever size you may have set on web page normal text. You didn't set a
font-size on any ancestor of H1, so NAICT, it uses the standard 32px Opera H1
default to have your 685% applied to.
O.K.
The fix (unless someone has a better way) for this particular layout
seems to be:
h1 {
/*font-size : 685%; */ --- :: delete
font-size : 262%; --- :: add
}
#header {
background-color : #c0c0c0;
width : 100%;
font-size : 262%; --- :: add
float : left;
}
And revise the markup so that the ul is beneath, rather than enclosed,
in the header division.

Image replacement is more a means of putting heading content in your file as text. And then overlaying that text /with an image of the text in the particular font/ that is not available on any or all cross user operating systems. You get the advantage of providing the particular font /you/ want in your headings without compromising (maybe) the benefits of accessibility.

Looks the same in IE7.0 as in IE6.0 and FF (all difficult to read at

the fonts go crazy and the right column drops at text-size largest.

Re: [css-d] floats and div widths
Cynthia Page wrote: I am experimenting with layout for divs containing images and text. The outer div will go inside a three column layout. My question concerns floating and clearing images in divs, nested within a floating div. Should I float an image left and clear right to make the text stay to the right of the image, and if I declare a pixel width for the image with padding will I have problems with IE displaying the whole image? I have an example posted. Also is it appropriate to ask such a basic question on this list? Thanks, Cynthia http://hoengerlab.colorado.edu/testfloat/float.html All questions dealing with CSS are appropriate. And your question is anything but basic. The simple answer is what you have works cross browser (don't forget to validate). The practical problems arise in putting that inside a 3 col layout and keeping the float from dropping at narrow window widths (800 or less) and user discretion with font-scaling and side bar use at all window sizes -- /particularly in iE/. It is some what dependent on your base 3col layout-- a fixed width 750px layout may easier to cope with. This [1]is a crude sample of your stuff insie a 3c layout. See source for changes made.

Michael,
It is dropping the right column float at +1 font-scaling in FF.
This may be due to the software being confused by the fact that you've
made no distinction between the horizontal and vertical navigation CSS.
For the sidebar navigation css, try adding #sidebar to each declaration
(#sidebar #navigation {...}.
The horizontal navigation font-size makes that navigation more important
than your written content-- might be a good idea to reduce it to 0.9em
or 0.95em.
Justified text does well (sometimes) in print media, but seldom on the
Web: creates word gaps (rivers). Consider setting it flush
left/scatter right (text-align: left;).
I'd defer to the type designer and /not/ letter-space the content text
as it just makes it difficult to read.
You may also want to change the font-size on the body from 12px to 100%.
This will set the typography base at user default.
You may want to validate the markup.
Best,
~dL

I think their is a list of books and other resources on the list wiki. I suppose if you have fixed width elements, such as images in your layout, that fixed width layouts may be easier to work with tha percentage width layouts. As the window narrows fixed width elements become difficult to keep from escaping their containers with percent widths. But as I remember your layout (although I can't find your uri at the moment) and the difficulties you were having had more to do with the fact that you structured your layout using absolute positioning. Float structured layouts work much better. Your difficulty perhaps has less to do with CSS than a misconception in understanding the Web. It is a fluid medium. Absolute positioning is brittle and best avoid for the basic layout structure. If you like, write me off-list and I''ll attempt to help you get your layout functioning cross-browser.

If you know it is a bad idea, why would you do it?
Your example will likely goofy in IE because of an IE browser bug when
specifying fonts in em. If you specify the font size in em you need to
/declare percent on html or body/ (with so called em guided layouts no
percent on html and no em on body is used, but further in the
specification in percent is needed on a containing wrapper followed by
em on selectors) to kill the bug.
This is a relatively common method of specifying text-size in em:

h1 {font-size: 1.8em;}

Cory,
If you mean what you wrote about transitioning to CSS then you may want
to /continue to employ tables for the tabular data/. But as of now, it
seems to me, you're running a predominately table oriented site with a
doctype.
The way some of us handle Ajax/JavaScript functionality is to use same
with the qualifier the page will work, as well (if not better), without
either or both. Your slow page loads may be more part and parcel of the
Web 2,.0 vibe than
a practical CSS issue. Fast load from the CSS perspective, in my
opinion, has more to do with lean, mean coding practice. Eliminating
inline styles and other table like practices, calling js from an
external file, and reducing white space in the source document /may/
help speed things up to a lessor extent.
Testing at +1 and +2 font-scaling in compliant browsers is a good idea;
and, providing text for IE users without the need for them to jump
through hoops to scale it is always advantageous.
Best,
~dL

RE: http://www.lostinxlation.net/sandbox3/portfolio/cybernomics1.html We are into areas of personal opinion. My opinion is the content area height should not be constrained, and that on scaling it should drive what is beneatn it from here to Havana. However, upon further consideration, it occurs to me that that it might also be beneficial to scale up the dimensions of the overall layout as well... That is one way of going about it. My /opinion/ is you may want the site to work in any screen window. One way to accomplish this is to set min/max width and provide your favorite workaround for IE6. the particular layout I'm using was one I picked for some practice in source ordering and the use of relative positioning, and it has certainly posed its own little challenges. =0) Nevertheless it is a valid concept. One can, and should (yet another opinion), set to maintain the css disabled/text browser source order: doing so can sometimes pose tricky and difficult css manipulation. And this is where others on the list are better qualified than I am to help bring this particular valid concept to a successful conclusion.

Scott,
Generally speaking, your fonts scale well. That is to say there is
little problem for those who may, for whatever reason, wish to view and
read the text of your site at a larger size than you have specified. And
that is good!
If user default can said to be 100%, you've reduced what they prefer by
specifying 80% on the body (or 20% smaller than they /may/ prefer). This
is /sometimes/ problematic for users who are using monitors at a higher
default dpi or screen resolution than your monitor [1]
[1]
body {
font-size:80%;
}
A nice touch, /and this is a personal opinion/, would be to give all
users default [2]
[2]
body {
font-size:100%;
}

I am not sure if I understand what you're after. Or if this resolves the
issue.
As it stands div#bottom is not enclosing the floats contained within it.
One way to open it is to float it left or right:
div#bottom { background-color: fuchsia; float: left; } --:: add to
enclose the floats
div#bot_address p{
margin: 0; --:: add to bring p to the top of its enclosing container
padding-top: 20px; --:: add to push p to the bottom of its enclosing
container
float:left;
font-size:.6em;
line-height:1em;
/*vertical-align:bottom;*/ --:: not needed?
}
div#bot_nav {background-color: lime; --test color
float:right;
text-align:right;
font-size:.8em;
padding-top:5em;
}
You may need to clear those floats as the right float may drop with font
sizing.
When specifying em for font size, add html {font-size: 100%;} to defeat
an em -sizing bug in iE.

Thanks to both you, Jukka, and Philippe, for addressing this problem.
Jukka, I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but neither nbsp; nor creating
a span class with {white-space: nowrap;} has so far worked for me.
If you could possibly take a quick look at my css and mark-up, at:

Oh yes: does nbsp; work in HTML 4.01 Transitional?
Thanks!

I'd be tempted to cut-in the widows in with a #10 x-acto knife and
rubber cement; and, dry up the rivers with a sponge.

David,
I looked at the example you sent, and I see where you
are going with it. The problem in this case is that a
height, or at least min-height, *has* to be specified
on #container for the CurvyCorners script to work
properly... trimmed
~~J. Hodge
(treswife at gmail dot com)
In reference to uri ::
http://www.chelseacreekstudio.com/ca/cssd/hodge01.html
Add both js to the file, and:
#container {
border : 1px solid silver;
margin : 20px auto 0 auto; --- :: the 20px margin at the top as shown ::
text-align : left;
width : 757px;
height : 34em; -- :: add ::
min-height : 34em; --- :: add ::
}
The rounded corners come up in ff/mac and opera/mac on a local file and
hold with font-scalling. You'll need to test in on your server with a PC
withe font-scaling in IE6 and IE and resolve any other issues that may
remain.
Best
PS Still no need to hack Opera on this end.

It is a (another) bug in IE6. Try feeding IE a solid border.

Re: [css-d] some text is rendering different between browsers..

I want it to look like it does in Firefox. Any help will be a big relief. Thank you, John John, Georg Sortun has already spelled out the problems. This is /one/ way to resolve some of them [1]. Note that you'll want to use real text. But if you are compelled to doing a client driven photoshop thingy bites tongue, you'll need to provide an image replacement technique-- search engines and text-browsers are unable to read text set as an image. A fair test for structural purposes is the layout should hold at least a +2 font-scaling in compliant browsers, and text-size largest in the 'evil one.'

Re: [css-d] Safari Overflow:Auto Issue?
Chris Davis wrote:
On a newly developed site I recently got an email saying that the content on
one page of the site only took up 10% of the screen: far too little to see!
The page makes use of overflow:auto and the user is browsing with Safari on a

The page is here: http://monna-vanna.com/cast/
And the CSS for that piece of content is simply:
#cast {
padding-top:5px;
height:360px;
overflow:auto
}
Thanks in advance!
Chris
Yes, this is to confirm that in Safari/2.0.4 the user's comment is
fairly accurate. I regret I do not know the fix. You may want to
validate the markup although this may have little or nothing to do with
the issue at hand: same for the the fact that +2 font-scaling kind of
does a number on the page in compliant browsers.
Sorry. I am not able to bring more than a user's observation to help out...
