[WSG] IE 5.5 issue
Hi group, This is my first post but I have been eavesdropping on most web related conversations for the past 6 months... www.fagandesign.com.au/PROJECTS/UmamiByDesign/indexNew3.html http://www.fagandesign.com.au/PROJECTS/UmamiByDesign/indexNew3.html is a site I'm working on at the moment. I haven't validated the HTML or CSS yet but I've noticed an annoying problem when viewing the site in IE 5.5. I have seen this problem before on other sites I have built and thought its just about time to get some clarification. The problem is in IE 5.5, the content of the page is left-aligned when it should be centeredI dare say on all recent browsers the content is behaving properly (works fine in IE 6.0 + 7.0). Any ideas? -- Christian Fagan Fagan Design www.fagandesign.com.au *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ***
Re: [WSG] IE 5.5 issue
Thanks for replying so quickly, Re: Ben - Im not really all that concerned about getting it absolutely 100% correct across all older IE versions but would be good to know for future (just in case). Re: Andrew - It was my understanding that older versions of IE had problems with the 'margin' attribute (as you say) but that's why it should be accompanied by the 'text-align: center' attribute? Andrew Krespanis wrote: It's been a while since I've had to include support for IE5 (and how great that feels), but I'm pretty sure your problem is the use of margin:0 auto; for centering -- if I remember correctly, IE 6 doesn't understand it. You can do: position:relative; width: 550px; left: 50%; margin-left: -225px; -Andrew -- Christian Fagan Fagan Design 0432 220 579 [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.fagandesign.com.au *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ***

[WSG] CSS Layout issue - height attribute
Hello all,
I am about to go insane
I am creating a website for a client that has, as its main visual impact
feature, a drop-shadowed background. This background was originally designed
to dynamically resize to accomodate all text-sizes (I've attached a small
screen shot).
ie. using the 'background-image: url('1pxTall.jpg ')' and
'background-repeat: y' attributes the background would repeat as many of
these 1px tall images as it would need to perfectly contain the page
content.
My problem now is that I have had to give the div id=container of this
background-image a*height - because without it, the it automatically sets to
0the content stays in the same spot on the page but the background-image
shoots upwards - like a vertical blind that has been yanked too hard and
just flies up.
Now, before you suggest something like giving the container a value for
height based on text-size: like 38em, I tried this exact value for the
container and it looks fine for the normal text size on FF and IE but if you
increase the text size, some of the page material falls outside the
designated area - doesn't look very good. And, in general, I'd like the
background-image to perfectly complement the page material no matter what
size...
Is there a way I can either give the container a height value or not so that
it will 'contain' all content within AND apply the proper background effect?
And...what is making this container appear empty, without a height value,
when it contains all page content???
