Re: [css-d] Flash, Video, CSS -- Can they live together?
On Thu, 29 Sep 2005, Christian Montoya wrote: But when I'm designing XHTML for N+1 CSS files made by different designers, and some who want to add video and/or flash in addition to their images+CSS, I can't think of how to implement it, other than to give the designers the ability to put custom Javascript files up and auto-include them as well. Your users want to add custom flash and videos? Then stand up to them and say no. If you want to teach CSS, flash and videos are not relevant. If they want to learn about implementing flash and videos, they can go look up the appropriate references for that. Flash is sexy. If I want pure CSS + XHTML (ala CSS Zen Garden) I can't have sexy. I can have sensual, but not sexy. No multimedia for you! From what I've gathered from responses, CSS + XHTML makes embedding flash and video impossible without hard-coding it into the XHTML or including it as a JavaScript functionality. Probably the most ideal solution for now is: Each user can upload their CSS + JS file(s), all of which are included dynamically upon display of the XHTML (which does NOT include flash or video) via PHP. It is up to them to find the way to implement video (Flash will be done with UFO [Unobtrusive Flash Objects] from Bobby VanderSluis). Until Flash, video and other multimedia objects can be included via CSS without fancy JS hacks, including multimedia other than images as part of the look and feel of a page is not pheasable using only XHTML + CSS. That pretty accurate? Thanks to all who replied.

R.
Some suggestions:
-Start with a stable cross-browser reliable layout. This is a good one.
http://www.alistapart.com/articles/negativemargins Add a containing
wrapper if you want it fixed width.
-Zero out: html, body {margin: 0: padding: 0; }, and all id's.
-Use lists that meet your browser support requirements:
http://css.maxdesign.com.au/listamatic/browser-support.htm.
-Apply these avoiding hack principles:

-Feed any un-avoidable hacks for Win/IE via condition anal comments [1].:

[css-d] three layers, not two.
I have long held the opinion that there are three, not two, layers that need to be kept separate. content layout style However, I regard these a meta-layers that should be thought of as orthogonal to the multi-layered web application architecture, containing: data base table layer (plain text) data base management system (I use PostgreSQL) system logic (I use EJB2 - but am currently migrating to EJB3) document layer (JSPs in XML format; in some cases site DTD is written) parsing layer (XSLT which uses a simple table for a three column layout) style layer, with very little emphasis on positioning (CSS, of course) presentation layer (which is where everything comes together: XHTML/CSS) Have a look at a site using this approach http://www.wikidiction.com Look at Geek Notes for an explanation of the techniques used, and the advantages gained. I am curious to know what your thoughts are.

[css-d] An IE problem I can't figure out
Go to http://www.homedesigntrends.com in IE6. Click on the search button on the left side. This should bring you to a page called tables.php. Now, you can either view this page in 800X600 screen resolution or minimize the screen to where weird things start happening. Now, do the same thing in Firefox. There are 2 things I'm noticing going wrong in IE6: 1.) The images of the houses don't shrink like they do in FF. 2.) If you declare a smaller % for the width of the images or their spec boxes next to them (just to play around - not to fix the issue), the columns that the pics and the spec boxes are, still remain too wide to fit on the screen like it does in FF. How do I fix this? I've tried max-width and min-width approaches too. -Chris Harris _ Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!

[css-d] Hodgepodge horizontal menu / submenu help
I'm working on a menu based on Doug Bowman's Sliding Doors. My menu, however, requires a horizontal submenu beneath the main tabs. The problem I'm having is that the absolute position of the submenu aligns the submenu ul beneath the current main tab. I need the submenu to align left of the page. It's easier to show than to explain... http://erichassler.com/test9/ index.php Obviously, the graphics, colors, etc... are temporary. The Home and Calendar tabs are working links. Everything else is #. Click the Calendar link to see the problem. Imagine that behavior if someone were to click the Month End link: the submenu would run right off the browser window. Apologies if this has been discussed before... Also, I'm using Jason Pearce's method of Keeping Navigation Current with PHP, which btw works like a charm. And... I've only previewed this in Firefox and Safari. I'll fix any IE probs later.

[css-d] Background Image not Displaying in FF
I have a background image that does not display in FF, and I think it is because my outer most div (#wrapper) is not getting any height. I looked at all of my floats, and I think everything should be clearing correctly, but apparently it isn't, because FF doesn't display it. Any ideas on what I have done wrong?

Try attaching the id to the h1 itself. The problem here is that you set an absolute height on div#page. Browsers not named IE will take that height literally, and make div#page (and div#wrapper) exactly the height specified, and allow the content to spill out the bottom. I believe what you really want here is min-height, not height. Either that, or change it so that the content is not inside #page. -- http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/ - Get Firefox! http://www.mozilla.org/products/thunderbird/ - Reclaim Your Inbox!
