Philip. The document that Ada has it which you did some work is xthml traditional, has way to many divs and table elements. It has text-align:center for the container. This does center block elements in IE6 and IE7. The document basically caters for the lowest dominator, that being IE5.
OK, I hear you, but do we need to know any of this in order to help Ada solve her problems ? All I did was to adjust the width declarations of UL LI and UL LI A in the context of her horizontal spry menus until the menu fitted the container. Oh, and tweaked a colour setting somewhere.
Come on Eric : rule the remainder of this message off-topic and declare the thread closed :-)
Why?
Oh, just so that we can focus on helping Ada and other troubled souls, and maybe move "Is there any place for invalid code in the 21st Century ?" to comp.css.advocacy or similar !
We can now use opacity:0.1 and that filter is something to help older versions of IE with that spry menu.
Good news.
Did the document in question have IE conditional comments?
Pass. With limited time to assist, I tried to focus on solving Ada's reported problems rather than performing some global analysis and optimisation of her inherited code.
Mmmm, I arrived late for the good old day by say 10 years.
What, you weren't there for Mosaic, or remember when Adobe Acrobat was Adobe Carousel ? You'll be telling us next that you hope to start shaving next year :-)
BTW, not that I fully support Georg and his CSS technique. I presume he has come out of hibernation since Molly the cat has been aroused at hearing about a new toy to play with. Maybe IE9 may show Opera up a little. :-)
Hmm, that one has passed straight over my head, but I probably don't need to know the gory details. Oscar the cat did bring me a juvenile rat today, as a wake-up present, but now we are getting /seriously/ off-topic.
