Hi Mike I had a play - wow - I seriously didn't realise that you could do this, (although now I think about it, its how Google sends data back to themselves in a 1px by 1 px image yes?) So while I think its a fun tool, I'm wondering what the applications actually would be. And are there

Hi David, A browser will fetch a style sheet but only fetches an image background it contains upon use in the XHTML. Consequently overwriting background-image: url('http://example.com'); With background-image: url('data:...'); will not fetch the image but use the data version. So to the

Hi Chris, Thanks for taking a look at the tool. The main application is to reduce HTTP requests and thereby increase page delivery speed. Right clicking on a data URI image and using Save image as will save it in its original form. Regards Mike From: li...@webstandardsgroup.org

Hi Chris, That's a little beyond topic scope but here goes. The image / CSS / data URI layout used on the page is a little complex I'll agree. It was optimised to provide the key images first and quickly, even in IEv6. Note the different sub-domains used. The CSS is served via a gzip and cache

[WSG] the mysteries of overflow: hidden

2010-02-10 Thread Jody Tate
(I'm a list lurker. Also, apologies if this has been covered before.) In CSS, setting a div to overflow: hidden solves a problem it shouldn't--at least from the name of the property and value, it seems like it shouldn't. Often I'll have text, e.g. an h1, overflowing its containing/parent div,

Apparently he is talking about overflow:hidden as a clearing floats fix. ( http://www.quirksmode.org/css/clearing.html) Let me reformulate the question: why the property that serves for hiding smth just make the wrapper stretch to accomodate containing floats. As for me - i still consider this
