RE: [WSG] Is there any way to set the width of a file input field in Firefox?
Hi, Irina
Sorry, I misunderstood the problem (that's what happens when we read
too fast :-(
I've found something about styling input=file on
http://www.quirksmode.org/dom/inputfile.html.
I don't know the quality of the solution (I could not test it yet), but
it worths the try.
Good luck!

Angela,
Your suggestion is for input type=text. It does not work for input
type=file. See shots attached produced by the following style:
div#Attachment {width: 600px;background-color:yellow;border: 1px solid black;}
#txtAttachment {width:400px;background-color:red;text-align: right;}
Cheers, Irina.

Styling file input is inconsistent cross browser and platform here
is a work around:

[WSG] IE fixed: PNG transparency working like Firefox???
Hi, A developer on my project showed me a site with a lot of PGNs using alpha transparency. Formely we had to include a piece of javascript to get it working the way we want in IE 6.x Since the last patchday it seems that IE 6.x got a security update that fixed the alpha transparency issues as well. Is there some one who can verify our findings?

Hi everyone
A reminder about attachments on the list - not allowed. Please post
links to your files instead.
This is covered in the mail list guidelines. Reasons:
1.They increase the traffic and bandwidth through the WSG list server.
2. Viruses commonly fake file extensions.

Re: [WSG] IE fixed: PNG transparency working like Firefox???
So far, IE 6.x on Windows supports PNG-8, which has index transparency. The only way I know of to make IE support alpha transparency is to use a javascript, such as Dean Edward's IE7, or to use Microsoft's proprietary filter: in CSS (Read more here: http://www.koivi.com/ie-png-transparency/). Hope this helps. :-) --Zachary JW wrote: Hi, A developer on my project showed me a site with a lot of PGNs using alpha transparency.

Re: [WSG] Why DO floats not stretch their containers?
Andreas Boehmer wrote: Can you give an example of where standard-compliant browsers expand the outer container with a float as content? I believe Roger pointed to the almost perfect example: http://www.complexspiral.com/publications/containing-floats/ Myself, being a heavy user of floats, simply forgot to point to the obvious: floats will expand to contain floats, unless we fix the container's dimensions in such a way that the content-float overflow its container. - Standard compliant browsers will respect the dimensions first, and expand to contain other floats if allowed to. - IE/win will need some negative margins on the content-float, to reduce its actual dimensions, or dimensions set on the floating outer container will not be respected.

[WSG] Proper way to embed fonts?
Hi, I'm working on redesigning a company website to make it more accessable and I've done a pretty decent job with makeing everything scale with the font sizes, but I have one big problem. Our company is developing a particular font that we want to use for our company name, a font that will be used on all our products. So, either I put the text in an image (which is making me cringe already), or I find some way to enable our visitors to download the fonts automatically. I did a little searching around and I found that there is a way to do that for certain versions of IE, but I was wondering if there was a way that works that I could do this that would work on all browsers, or at least NN4, IE=5, FF, Moz, Safari, Opera. Has the W3C created and standards to allow this to work? ** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list getting help **

This confirms my opinion that Safari is the Victorian Parent of the browser world (ie: overly strict IMO) but why would it break a perfectly valid page? I think it is something to do with its handling of overflow: auto(?). See the right column of graphics links are munged in Safari. Works fine in Firefox 1.0 and IE6 and even IE5.2 on a MAC. Has anyone come across a problem like this? Here's my test page if anyone has the time to point me in the right direction... http://www.skyrocket.com.au/Concepts/Grindley/BuildingProjects.html It is not a problem with overflow:auto; but with Safari acting up on the ul adjacent to the floated images. Having the images part of the li should help fixing the problem.

Re: [WSG] accessibilty and responsibility
Ok, I see your point here, but I'm the web designer for a company. Most of our customers probably wouldn't know what a 'browser' is and think that the 'e' is the is only way to 'download the internet'. I can't simply forget my customers browsers without alienating them as well, because they have no clue what the issues are.

Re: [WSG] Proper way to embed fonts?
Thanks for the resources. I dont' think I can use sIIR cause we have an IIS server (as far as I could tell it's php only), but I'll try sIFR. Is they're any quick tutrials on how to implement it?

[WSG] help with mystery IE padding
Hi All I've been pounding my head against the desk for a while trying to figure out why I'm getting a space between my h1 tag and the topnav. It looks fine in firefox, naturally, but in IE, there is about a 10px margin between the h1 and ul#topnav. This is visible by the jog in the blue bar as it extends past the top nav. http://tdrake.net/cruise/index.html check out the nifty use of class=here to move the cruise ship around. It's not exactly mind blowing, but should get a grin from the bosses. I've tried using borders, changing heights, using !important to declare 0 margins, and removed whitespace in the code to see if those would fix the issue. I have validated the page already. Thank you for any advice. Ted ** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list getting help **

Once you know a site works well in the latest versions of Opera, Safari, Gecko and so on-- and IE6-- and no one is shut out, then it is just a question of going back and see if there's a version of any of these that is less than a few months (or a reasonable timespan) older than the one you have coded for. Maybe a small workaround is needed for one of those 'older' versions, but most likely not. None of the older blue 'e' are within such a time frame, so their users need a little hint that their more than 2 year old blue 'e' is in need of an upgrade. If that happens to be a new blue 'e', so be it. No one is suggesting you should forget IE6 (although we wouldn't mind if we all could do just that ;-) ). IE6 is the latest for those who wants to 'download the internet', so it's about time they 'downloaded it'. regards Georg ** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list getting help **
