[WSG] Thursday drinks in Sydney
Hi everyone, Due to the lack of a Sydney meeting this evening, a few of us regulars are planning to hold our own little get-together, discussion will include (among other things): - Just what constitutes a 'standard' drink - The accessibility of the bar area - Usability of the bathroom facilities Where: Ship Inn, Circular Quay (http://www.whereisthepub.org/modules.php?name=Newsfile=articlesid=77) When: 6:30pm, AEDST If you haven't had the (mis)fortune of meeting anyone from the list before, then I'll be the one wearing the MXDU 2003 t-shirt jeans, and most likely have a pint of Guinness in my hand :) So if you happen to be in the Sydney CBD this evening, then come and join us! -- Lindsay Evans.

Re: [WSG] Footer on the very bottom of the viewing port
Hey Mike, Check here http://scott.sauyet.name/CSS/Demo/FooterDemo2.html Regards Chris Blown http://hinterlands.com.au On Thu, 2004-04-08 at 17:01, Mike Kear wrote: I want to have a footer stuck to the bottom of the browser window, but if the window reduces in size, the footer goes over the top of other page content. What I'd like to do is have the footer stick to the bottom of the browser, except if it collides with other page content, which will push it down below the bottom of the viewing port and have a vertical scroll bar appear. Is this possible with CSS? I know it's done with tables, because that's how this site is now, but I want to get rid of these tables.

(if you look in firefox the wrapper is the little white bit at the top that is supposed to fill the whole site) Looks fine in ie again.If i display it as table-cell; it seems to work but thats not widely supported is it?site: http://www.mockorange.com.au/mocksites/test/jugernaut/index.htmlcss: http://www.mockorange.com.au/mocksites/test/jugernaut/css/juganaut.cssJackie ReidMock Orange Web Site Development1st Floor92 Victoria StreetMACKAY Q 4740Ph: 07 4953 4035[EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: [WSG] GLITCH WITH MARGINS
Total up all of your widths and margins of you left and right columns, and you will see that they equal more than the width of your wrapper id. The right columns falls below the left if you narrow the browser window as it is. Once you add more margin space, it's probably lowering the threshold at which point it wraps, which led you to notice it.

Yes it does, create a testcase to see it yourself. Example: #testdiv { width: 100px; padding: 10px; background-color: green; } The green rectangle should be 120px in standards mode.

Re: [WSG] ?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8? in Win IE6?
Hi Christopher, No. But you should probably serve up XHTML 1.0 Strict to IE and 1.1 to Mozilla/FireFox/Opera. Here is the link on how to do this: http://xstandard.com/page.asp?p=16A6EBD1-9EEC-4611-98C8-C0F6234B9737 Regards, -Vlad XStandard Development Team XHTML 1.1 WYSIWYG editor http://xstandard.com - Original Message - From: Christopher M Kelly [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, April 08, 2004 10:34 AM Subject: [WSG] ?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8? in Win IE6?

[WSG] CSS problem
Hello; Can someone take a look at this page: http://vikberg.net/IAMU and suggest how I best separate the blue links from the white content area so it doesn't 'hog' the line? TIA ~Veine Veine K Vikberg http://www.vikberg.net Professional Web Guru
Re: [WSG] CSS problem
Thank you, appreciated :o) However, no solution to my original problem, I think the box not expanding is just an oversight on my part not to use clearing div's :o) *Note to self, check out Mac platform too! :o) ~Veine At 02:01 PM 4/8/2004 -0500, you wrote: Veine, Just wanted to let u know that in Mac OSX/IE 5.2 the body copy overflows the bottom blue footer bar... screenshot attached (I know it's small but I didn't want to hog everyone's email). later, Z Veine K Vikberg http://www.vikberg.net Professional Web Guru
Re: [WSG] CSS problem
Veine Your left col div is containing your center div you should close the the left div before you open the center div ... e.g div class=leftcolleftcol-content/div div class=centercenter-content/div and not div class=leftcolleftcol-content div class=centercenter-content/div /div as you have it now Leo On Thursday, April 8, 2004, at 06:26 AM, Veine K Vikberg wrote: Will; Thanks for the suggestion, I did it and it seems to add a little to separate in IE6 WinXP Home at least, however, in NS (Moz RC1) it does not,... I am running out of ideas here. As for the suggestion, note taken and should probably not be h4's but I was thinking search engine work ahead of time so to speak, as it seems to be indexing way more h4's then lists, I will probably change this. Any other suggestion to see if I can get it to separate?

Rather, use an unordered list to gain better control over their display and establish better semantics in your markup: ul lilink 1/li lilink2/li /ul For a great example, read A List Apart's Taming Lists at http://www.alistapart.com/articles/taminglists/ Will Chatham oOo www.willchatham.com --- Can someone take a look at this page: http://vikberg.net/IAMU Veine K Vikberg http://www.vikberg.net Professional Web Guru * The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list getting help *
[WSG] Guidelines reminder - attachments/caps
Hi all Just a quick reminder that the guidelines for the list are at http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm - one of these includes a no attachments policy. If you want to send a screenshot to someone please do it off list - I'm pretty sure Peter doesn't want to send out a 345 kb email to 500 people. It's also a kludge to download for those on dial-up. Also, using all CAPS to write a subject line can lead to readability problems for some - try writing the subject as a normal descriptive sentence. You may also end up getting weighted towards Nigerian bank spam by some types of filtering packages :D Cheers James * The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list getting help *
