Re: [WSG] Text Escaping from Floats

The height is constraining the box... I think you have two choices: add overflow : hidden|auto (will hide or scroll excess content) remove the height attribute and control height some other way. Good Luck. On Fri, 15 Oct 2004 15:35:14 +1000, Natalie Buxton [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi

There is a height set on the .floatleft class of 240px on the page you listed in your msg. Tania - Original Message - From: Natalie Buxton [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, October 15, 2004 2:21 PM Subject: Re: [WSG] Text Escaping from Floats On Fri, 15 Oct 2004

scrap that - it now works as expected. Thanks for pointing out the height! It doesn't work in my real-world code (not uploaded) though - must be some other element in the actual page causing the issue. Thanks again. On Fri, 15 Oct 2004 17:07:36 +1000, Natalie Buxton [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

hi Natalie, just delete the height rule from the .floatleft div. that way the divs will expand to contain the text. in fact, Mozilla and Firefox are behaving exactly as the standards say they should - it's IE that is getting it wrong by expanding the div beyond your stated height. On Fri, 15

[WSG] Semantics of Breadcrumb you are here links

2004-10-15 Thread Gavin Cooney
Hi all, Apologies if this has been asked on WSG before, but I was wondering the general opinion on the most correct semantic way of coding breadcrumb trails. There's many webpages dealing with this: http://www.simplebits.com/notebook/2004/02/23/sqxii_conclusion.html

2004-10-15 Thread Gavin Cooney
In most legal documents the number is very important and is referenced in dozens of places, other documents etc. For this reason I'm not sure if ols even with css 3 support are that suitable beyond the inital creation of the document. I'd just use a h11 main section/h1 and h21.1 not so main

Option 4 is... interesting. There is something subtlely wrong with it, but I can't quite put my finger on it. Perhaps it just seems overkill? I think at this stage i'm an option 4 convertee... unless you can convince me otherwise! It just seems the most semantically correct... turn off styles

Option 3 for me, on the grounds that yes, it's a list, but that the order of the list items is important (as it effectively denotes a step-by-step path from the site's home page to the current page, and these steps need to be taken in that particular order). It's this hierarchy inherent in the

in my opinion this is still rather sketchy, i am yet to see some examples where people are using this technique in the realworld. yes there are a lot of 'how to' on the w3c site but i am more interested in the realistic examples. But anyway thanks for your replies guys. It would be good to see if

Re: [WSG] How do I find the document width in ie and mozilla?

2004-10-15 Thread Terrence Wood
I think I understand... You want to make the semi-transparent div cover the entire window, and to remain covering the window on window.onresize. Moz will do this for you using CSS only, provided it is not contained in another element with positioning, or the containing element is body: /* css

I was having a great week in my Mac world of coding my newest client's website in CSS XHTML. All was well in my happy little MacLife. The site was working just fine in Mac Safari, Firefox, Netscape, IE 5.2.3. Then I got curious as to what was going on in the PC world. So I went to a
