It scrolls very very very slowly here, too. In both FF and IE.

Doesn't work in IE6 here, either. Don't know about Mac IE.

"Full speed" and no problems in IE6 on my machines.

> This design doesn't seem to include any of your workarounds.

The IE-expressions that I use as workaround, are non-valid CSS -
proprietary Microsoft "scripting-in-CSS", so that design would probably
not make it into the zengarden with any of those on board.

If a machine is low on speed and resources, then IE-expressions can "eat
up" resources and slow it noticeable down over time.
Have only noticed such effects if I have a dozen or more IE6 windows
open over longer periods - an hour or so, on one of my slower machines.

It's a tradeoff. Either you want IE6 on board despite the potential
problems, or you accept that it is to old. Anyway, it is better to leave
IE6 behind if too many expressions are needed for _simulating_ proper
CSS support in such an old browser.

I want IE6 on board, so I add IE-expressions to simulate 'position:
fixed' and a few other non-supported layout-details whenever I see the
need - like for my home-pages...

Georg

What do you see in this Zengarden design in IE6? Is it scrolling very 
slowly for you, too, or is that just my machine? This design doesn't 
seem to include any of your workarounds.

IE6 and lower on windows don't support 'position: fixed'.

IE/Mac supports 'position: fixed' pretty much all the way, but it looks
like they've shut IE/Mac out from the relevant styles for that page. A
pity, really.

IE6 needs workarounds, but that doesn't pose much of a problem, IMO.

Basic CSS frames are described and demonstrated here...

...and the IE6 workaround is described here...

How well does CSS Zengarden Design #202, "Retro Theater":

work in IE 6 & lower? On my IE6.0 machine the frame doesn't wrap around 
the way it does in Firefox & IE7. I would say it breaks gracefully, 
except page-down is painfully slow for me in IE6. I don't know if it's 
just that machine, or something about how putting position:relative on 
the body works (or doesn't) in IE6.

Does it look OK in IE on the Mac?

I'm asking because I'd like to use some of the tricks in this design for 
"pseudo-framing", but I'm not going to get into it if it's going to be 
too painful in IE6.

This is really a CMS issue. 

Even if you *COULD* do this, then you'd have to *UNDO* it once client want's
the link "clickable". From a professional perspective, I'd just tell the
client they're suffering from a concussion! And, do you want someone else to
look at your code and say, "Cutting edge, but WTF! What was he smoking?"

Not knowing what the CMS is, I can't speak to specifics, but open source
CMS' -- e.g., Joomla -- allow you to create menus that do not have "live"
links, by virtue of the different menu entry "types" it provides. 

Within the CMS, why can't the client simply define the link as "#", so that
it just "parks" on the current page? This would seem like the most sensible
way to do it, because as another mentioned, your trying to intervene on
functionality, when CSS is meant for display. 



If you do figure this out can you please come over to my house. I have this
nice wooden picket fence, that I want to be maintenance-free vinyl. I don't
want it to LOOK like vinyl, I like the rustic look of the wooden picket.
What I want is that it ACT like vinyl and have the PROPERTIES of vinyl. 



That's kind of what you're trying to achieve here!

Then there's quite a lot you can do, such as

:link, :visited {
display: none;
visibility: hidden;
font-size: 1px;
color: black;
background: black;
text-decoration: none;

I've done this when doing tutorials where I show a link to a non-existent

I either replace the content within the href with a # or else will apply a

No, clickability in the general sense is an inherent property of a link: 
a link points at something in a manner that makes it possible to 
"follow" the link. Take that away, and it's not a link any more. In the 
specific concrete sense (a link can be "followed" by clicking on it), 
it's a browser feature. These things belong to functionality, not 
presentation.

It does not make the link non-clickable, even though it may make it more 
difficult to click on it.

You can e.g. position a link 99 pixels to the right, and this will 
usually make it so difficult to even notice the existence of the link 
that it probably won't be clicked. But it won't really make it 
non-clickable, partly due to the CSS Caveats (reasons why your CSS might 
not do what you expect, see 
http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/css-caveats.html ).

So I think you need to clarify what you really want (and "why" is 
generally an essential part of such clarifications, because only then 
can others see what you mean). Why would you want to have a link and not 
have a link? This might not be a CSS issue at all, but there are ways to 
prevent links from _looking_ like links, thereby making it less probable 
that users click on them, if that's what you really want.

A block level element without a width will expand all the way across
the available area all on it's own, without the need to declare a
width of 100%. It's impossible to imagine what the actual problem
might be without looking at your page/code.

[css-d] Help with containers?

2008-03-18 Thread John
Hello;

First post here...

I am having trouble with setting up a container properly...it works  
for the most part. I need for the background colors contained by it  
to extend as wide as the browser window is — I know some folks have  
those nice 30-inchers! — and that seems to be working with the code  
that I've written, but when you make the browser window very narrow,  
it "breaks" in that you can scroll the page tot he right and see the  
background colors end, and it looks sloppy.

Chances are the average person isn't going to do this, but they MIGHT  
do it and at any rate I'd like to make the little beasty behave right.

I've been playing with this:

#container {
height:150px;
width:100%;
background:rgb(173,173,173);
}

150px is the height of the jpg which is part of the area to be  
contained (containered?) and I assume 100% means 100% of the browser  
window, however wide or narrow a person has it on their computer.

Another related thing to this, as I'm pretty green at coding, is how  
things affect each other, and I'm just not experienced enough to know  
this. Mainly, I take code from elsewhere which works, and put that  
into my style sheets. Mostly it works. Sometimes, as this instance  
shows, it doesn't.

Thanks for taking a look/helping me out and sharing any advice..

David,

It's the following:

a {

padding:0pt 0pt 0pt *10px*;
text-decoration:none;
}

I removed that 10px of padding and it fixed the problem.

Tony gave all browsers ambiguous markup and CSS and that does play a role in 
things. It was a minor stress test on browsers. :-)

What I have seen reported concerning layout issues is very little and how can 
Tony report something that he does not understand? I don't even know why 
browsers interpret this test case (has been added to) differently.

http://css-class.com/test/css/floats/float-position-relative.htm


Dennis, if MS is bombarded with such cases as fully coded pages how are they to 
work out what is going wrong? They would have to unpick the code just to find 
the bug (there are several operators present). This would be just like what 
happened with IE7 beta but differently. MS are looking for strong bare test 
cases.

The bugs I see in IE8 are concerning float and stacking, position relative and 
display property bugs. Severe stress testing of IE8 does show many bugs but 
similar bugs are also present in other browsers. It's just that IE8 has the 
lion share. :-)

Tony paste this into your CSS and see if it helps.


a.comments, a.permalink {
   float: none  !important;
   margin: auto !important; /* play around with vertical margins */
}

and possibly

#box1bot {position:absolute !important;left:0;bottom:0;}

and change the bottom offset (0 ~ -20px) for correct positioning or wait and 
see if a later IE8 beta fixes it.

On a MBP @ 1680 below 628px, or so, there is a solid gray like color. An 
"off-the-wall" suggestion:
Try re-setting the body declaration from what you have to:
body{background: #dae2e7 url(http://www.myrvspace.com/images/ms_top.png) 
repeat-x;
Note: different background-color, top.png not bottom.png, and only repeat-x.

It looks right in IE7 and Firefox 2.  In IE6 where the light blue starts to
go back to dk blue there is a distinct line where the darker blue starts.
If that makes sense.  You might check out Browsershots too--

As David said you should wait before correcting what may not be broke
when the final release of IE8 is out.

If it truly is buggy in this beta you should first check if it has been
reported and if not enter a report. The more seemingly insignificant
bugs that can be squashed before the final release the easier it will be
to adapt to the new IE.

I seem to remember the same scrambling-to-fix when IE7 beta was
released, a lot of which became unnecessary after the release.

Don't mind the CSS or layout. I know it needs a lot of work, and
unfortunately it will never get done unless we're not given any more
projects to add onto the site. Frankly, it's been patched together by
numerous rush jobs.

Anyway, I'm getting a single complaint about there being some weird line at

background somehow stops and shows the color below the image. I think it

What I'm just hoping for is that the background looks like it's fading from

I didn't notice the clearing br but I do see that the relatively positioned 
div#box1bot is covering the floated links at the bottom of div#containertop. 
Here a test case with divs and no clearing.

http://css-class.com/test/css/floats/float-position-relative.htm

Both IE8 and Safari 3 shows the floated red box covering the r.p. box which is 
later in the source. Safari 3 doesn't show the bug on the page in question. 
This is possibly since Safari is using the clearing br. Tony removing   
from div#box1bot seems to fix it.

Have anyone seen any bugs with relative:position?

is it worth trying to fix it up?  Or should I wait for a newer IE8 release...

[css-d] IE8 conditional comment seen by IE multiple versions

2008-03-18 Thread Alan Gresley
Hi Everyone


If you are allowed IE8 to overwrite IE7 and you have multiple versions of IE 
[1] by Yousif Al Saif on your PC then the conditional comments meant to target 
IE8 are seen. Testing in IE6 and IE5.5 I see this.


[if lt IE 9][if IE 8] [if gt IE 7] [if gte IE 7] [if gt IE 6] [if gte IE 6] [if 
gt IE 5] [if gte IE 5]

http://css-class.com/test/bugs/ie/8/ie8-cc-seen-by-ie6.htm


Not that it really bothers me personally but for those who have multiple 
versions of IE, allowed IE8 to overwrite IE7 and use conditional comments will 
find they may not work anymore. Can anyone please confirm that IE8 installed of 
a virtual PC doesn't show this in any legacy IE version. I guess there maybe be 
a simple fix, maybe from Yousif's site.

Amazing how the ones for IE7, IE6 and IE5 only are not pickup but if it's 
greater or equal to, they are shown.

It happens because those images are not contained in the div, and not
controlled by it. All browsers need containment of floats and more solid
styling for line-up, and IE6 and 7 need 'hasLayout'[1] triggers.

The entire layout has too many weaknesses for in-depth debugging - would
require complete redo from scratch, but here's a copy with the relevant

Kim:

A couple of things. It appears that you have the nav sidebar nested within 
the .narrowcolumn. And you will also have to declare an explicit width on 
the .narrowcolumn, other wise it will expand and fill the entire width of 
#content, and not allow anything to float next to it. It has to be narrower 
than width of #content - .navigation.

You are not validating because you appear to be missing a closing  tag 
(or an extra one!).  Which may also be why the nav and .narrowcontent float 
isn't working!!! Try sticking a  tag either right before  OR one right before the closing  tag. Then 
revalidate. Your page may look wonky but it may get a green light by the 
validator.

IMO, you should add a comment right before the nav div so it is easier to 
find.

Best Regards,

Peter

[css-d] Can't find source of block-level error

I could use some help with this. I've managed to totally confuse 
myself. My sidebar won't snap into place to the right of my 
narrowcolumn, and my page won't validate. I can't figure out what's 
going on.

Thanks  . . .

[css-d] Image alignment within div

2008-03-18 Thread Pete Harrison
I have a div with 3 images all floated left. In FF they show fine, but in
IE6 the first image is shifted up for some reason. I cannot see why this is
happening so any help would be appreciated.
 
The page is at www.biofuels-maritime.com/n-index.asp and the css is at
www.biofueld-maritime.com/bio.css
 
Many thanks
Pete
