overlay the border, rather than right into the margin, where it makes

But I digress... that's not relevant here. I fixed it by adding:

margin-top:-1px; to the list items. Now there's another quirk, but at
least it's the same across IE 6, Opera, and FF.

Site check in Mac/*nix please?

something that has since occurred to me though is, that in the example

different classes.  Which, surely, *is* invalid code - ID needing to 
be unique on the page and all, in which case I don't see a benefit to 
using the ID.Class notation ?

why would you use id.class on an element (apart from the fact that it 
doesn't work in IE) when giving a page element an id (consistent 
throughout the site but unique per page - e.g footer)  and adding  a 
class (declared by element in the stylesheet) works just as well.

e.g

on one page:

div id=footer
psome text/p
/div

on another page

div id=footer class=fancyfooter
psome different text/p
/div

 I guess what I meant by Not too sure of a workaround was that I do

 If it is a bug though, one would hope they would fix the problem rather
 than have us web-developers hide JS from Firefox... I am sure it
 happens with other scripts where the JS needs to be read by Firefox...
 Specifically, I think the problem has to do with the
 document.getElementById.

I think it's actually that there is something wrong with the JS. IE is
very forgiving about JS, but Firefox is not! If you are using 1.5, you
should see a red exclamation mark in the top right corner everytime
there is a JS error. This means that there was a problem in the JS,
and FF skipped it, whereas IE will let it run.

I've found that most scripts that do not work in FF work fine once
they are scripted correctly.

Re: [css-d] [RE-POST] IE page flicker (not rollover)

2005-12-02 Thread Mark Batty
 At least on my end, Georg's -1px margin fix does stop the flicker.

 As a side note, I wonder why I only could see the bug when cache
 settings were changed from Every visit to page to Never?

The -1px fix does stop the click/hold vanishing logo problem which was the
biggest headache.  I've made it more specific by using margin-left, setting
any other side doesn't work.

The other problem (still present but not so important) is page flicker when
switching pages or when repeatedly loading the same page, such as clicking
'Home' repeatedly.

Strange that you get different results from cache settings, I get the same
flicker with every cache option, but as Ian pointed out this may be
something to do with my machine.

Its all fun and games hey :)

Cheers.

Mark.

Isn't ID more specific than class? So if #footer has font-size:1em;
and then in .fancyfooter you try to override that with
font-size:1.1em; it won't be overridden, because #footer has
precedence?

So doing:

div class=footer /div

and on another page:

div id=fancyfooter class=footer /div

would be more bulletproof.

good point, bad example on my part.

I'm more likely to add a class to the p in my example, rather than the 
footer, so the footer ID carries the defaults and classing the p 
allows me to deviate from them..  (probably why I can't get my head 
round the id.class is it just a more specific shorthand?)

No.  It is most often a case of collapsing margins.  Putting padding or

[css-d] How to control the look of anchors with disabled=disabled attribute?

2005-12-02 Thread Mark Marlow
Hi All,

 

I am using ASP.Net Webcontrol to emit some HTML. The control is either a
HyperLink or LinkButton.  When I disable the control (by setting the
controlls Enabled property) the following example HTML is emitted:

a id=MainNavBar1_mnuUserReports3 disabled=disabled  class=navbigger
yel boldReports/a

 

IE shows the Reports link with greyed out text.  Firefox honors the
stylesheet.  I would like control over the color, size, font.  So. how do I
set the look of  anchors that have disabled=disabled attribute?

 

- Mark

Re: [css-d] [RE-POST] IE page flicker (not rollover)

2005-12-02 Thread John Jameson
Hi Ingo

 As a side note, I wonder why I only could see the bug when cache
 settings were changed from Every visit to page to Never?

I have found flicker problems in the past in IE which I believe are caused
by known caching bugs - the effect being that images are unnecessarily
reloaded.

The flicker is therefore likely to be a function of the browser settings
rather than the content or styling of the page, as you are hinting.

This takes it off topic so email me direct if anyone wants more detail.

HTH.

 1. use server-side script to generate CSS files, so that the image path can
 be stored in one variable.
 2. move also the CSS files to the image location, so the css files can still
 use relative reference. The only change is the import location in the HTML.

 While solution 2 seems to be a lot easier and reasonable (to me), it needs
 our customer approval to do so. Any suggestion on this?


How about this?

3. Use server configuration options, e.g. Alias directive in case
server is Apache:

Also, what is a skip link for when there's nothing to skip past in
browsers that may need it? Nothing to skip _to_ either, since all
content is in the image - and there was no alt-attribute or other
alternative.

I can't read such a blurry text in a normal browser on an ordinary
screen - had to blow it up to 400% over a 3200 wide screen in Opera in

At least use 'png'-quality for that sort of thing, so it can be kept
readable, and use those alt-attributes for images that's part of the
content. Either alt= or alt=some proper description, depending on
what it's all about.

Suggest a rethinking based on content-value, so you don't end up with a
page/site like the one described here...

apparent base of 2005 code/css. That's not what standards are all about

 If you hadn't have said that it was a bug, I would have left the site

Then you have seen the fixed version. Which is the one I can live with.

[css-d] Origin and width problems with IE6 in strict mode

2005-12-02 Thread Andy Shaw
My first post to this list so please be gentle!

OK can anyone tell me what is going off with the following code

!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC -//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN 
http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd;
html
head
titleIE/win Box/title
/head

body
div style=position:relative; border:5px solid green; padding:10px;

  div style=position:absolute; top:0px; left:0px; width:100%; 
height:100%; border:1px solid bluenbsp;
  /div
p
p
p
/div
/body
/html

Sorry I don't have a public website to post this on. Basically in 
Firefox the inner blue div border is aligned with the inside of the 
outer green border. This is what I would expect. However in IE6 the top 
edge of the blue rect is aligned with the top outer edge of the green 
rect, the bottom edge of the blue rect is in the middle of the green 
rect and the left and right edges are inset from the green rect slightly.

I've spent ages looking round at various sites reporting IE problems and 
as far as I can tell this sort of thing should not happen in strict mode 
in IE6. So what am I doing wrong?

Re: [css-d] annoying blue background in IE around my png images

2005-12-02 Thread Gale Stafford
regaridng my issue with annoying blue borders:

 I have this annoying problem that only shows up in IE -- Firefox,
 Opera and Safari all do not exhibit this.

 What's happening is, IE places a light blue background around my
 images. These are png files.

Just want to say, thanks for the tips everyone.

I followed the procedure on this page

http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fixing_transparent_PNGs

to save my PNG files (using GIMP) in a format that IE can handle.

Problem is now resolved.

thanks much!

As you are using your machine for development, you will have set IE not to
cache stuff but to check for new content every visit to the page. This
means it is re-fetching the image every time.

To see it as a normal user would, got to Tools  Internet Options 
General tab  Temporary Internet Files fieldset  Settings button, select
the Automatically radio button and OK all the way back out. After you
reload the page the flicker should have vanished.
  


If you want the flicker to vanish even with this setting on, you can 
modify your site's htaccess file to kill the flicker:

[css-d] making progress but... jumping CSS on nav bar buttons and weirdness between IE/FF

2005-12-02 Thread Laura Greenwood
hi..

my page http://tempinc.com/index8.htm

on this page, about 2 seconds after the screen refreshes, some of the
elements on the left nav bar jump and a larger whitespace is shown
between them but not all of them

the one between about temp and facility tour

and about temp and contact us

(This is in IE)

now in firefox, the nav bar jumps with 3 elements after products,
facility tour and contact us.


In firefox, the page layout just doesn't work right at all. IE is how
I want it to look... but its completely different in firefox.

the map I want to locate next to the ISO logo, but for now I am
leaving it at the bottom because I just don't know how come it is over
the RFQ form in firefox... but if I can at least get them looking kind
of the same I'd be happy. Interesting, in Firefox... the grid in the
content div is only like one line width wide, instead of behind all of
the blocka-blockd boxes like it shows in IE.

Oh and... my css validates, I have one non validating  statement on
the xhtml (nohref=nohref) does anyone know how to get that to
validate? It sure makes life easy... Hate to take it out.

Anyhow, I'm plugging along... some of you may have seen this before
and without all your help,  I surely would not have gotten this far.


Thanks for listening. I just keep on truckin here...

 The page works in Safari2, Firefox1.5  Opera8, but the IEs breaks 
 the layout in both side columns. I have tried to work around the box-

 without breaking the layout.

 http://www.eystein.no/vimenn/

You have a 'part-float' construct already. Now, make it an 'all-float'
construct, which is something even IE/win understands... :-)

.column-two {
background: #999 url(../../Media/Common/column_fade.jpg) left bottom
repeat-x;
padding-bottom: 65px;
margin: 0 -10px 0 0;
float: left;
width: 128px;

}
.column-three {
background: #999 url(../../Media/Common/column_fade.jpg) left bottom
repeat-x;
padding-bottom: 65px;
margin: 0 0 0 -10px;
float: right;
width: 188px;
}

...all browsers will be happy with that one. The negative backside
margin (-10px) is just a precaution - in case something should push
IE/win's broken box-model too hard at a later date... :-)

Now, the basic additions for IE/win...

@media screen {
* html .column-two * {
width: 128px;
widt\h:120px;
}
* html .column-three * {
width: 188px;
widt\h:180px
}

* html .column-two *,* html .column-three *  {
float: left;
margin: 0;
position: relative;
overflow: hidden
}
* html .column-two * *,* html .column-three * * {
float: none;
width: 99.7%;
overflow: visible;
}
}

...this rule will control width and overflow in IE/win for all
elements down the columns, and rearrange the rule for elements nested
further in. A simple trick that only works when stuff is supposed to
fill the columns in width, so you may have to specify any deviation from
that rule to avoid stretching.

A bit of fine-tuning is needed at your end if you want both IE5+ and IE6
to appear close to identical. IE5.0 is not perfect on those lists yet,
and I don't have IE5.5 available for checking.
---

Note: if at all possible, put all IE/win styles inside the same @media
wrapper for better organizing of hacks.
---

The original layout - with the above additions - can take a lot of
stress and will not break when font-resizing is applied i IE/win or
other browsers. It will however hide stuff in IE/win and let it overflow
in other browsers, if you don't make sure text can wrap. Should be no
problem when content is added correctly.

All tested in Opera8.5/9prev1, Firefox1.5, Safari1.2.4, IE6  IE5.0.
IE/Mac got the columns right, but is missing some other stuff and
navigation.

Excuse my noobieneess...

Why not:

div id=tabs class=ski.../div

/* Make .ski green: */
#tabs .ski {
   background-color: green;
}
  


This selects an element with the class of ski *inside* an element with 
the id of #tabs.  This is because the space between the two parts of the 
selector makes it a descendant selector.  It does not select an element 
with both the class and the id on it.  The syntax from the original 
poster is correct to select something with both set on it.

I can't stress enough that everyone should read this article.
http://css.maxdesign.com.au/selectutorial/

Not understanding desendant selectors is a very common problem but an 
essential one to eradicate if you want to work with CSS.

/* Make .ski red: */
#tabsTwo .ski {
   background-color: red;
}
  


This would only make ski red if it was inside #tabsTwo.

/* Or, make #tabs and .ski green: */
#tabs, .ski {
   background-color: green;
}
  


This would work.

/* Or, even: */
#tabs, #tabs .ski {
   background-color: green;
}
  


This would work, but only because of the first part of the selector.  
The second part selects nothing in the HTML snippet provided.

I don't see the problem of the focus outline causing jumps in other 
pages, so I wonder if there is something in your particular setup that 
has caused the problem.  In particular, note this example from ALA that 
uses tabs [1] -- no jumping seen.  Perhaps you need to rework how you 
have constructed your tabs to avoid this issue?

Yes, sometimes that combination can trigger bugs in IE.  They're pretty

position: relative on a float unless you have to.  Like, say, to cure an

I recently tested a site on the following browsers:

Win IE 6
Firefox 1.0.x
Safari 1.2+
Opera 8

Of these, only Opera failed to preload some gallery images that I had  
hidden (for exposure on hover) by using display:none; and  
position:absolute;

I changed it to visibility:hidden; and some swapping of z-index  
values and achieved the same gallery effect, but now Opera is  
preloading the image. Since then I've also tested on Win IE 5.5, but  
the CSS was already changed so all I know it works with the new method.

YMMV.

You'll generally find this to be true if you build for IE and then try 
to fix Firefox.  It's never going to work because  you just can't hack a 
good browser to act wrong like IE does.  IE's wrongness is much too 
mysterious for that. ;-)  So, instead, use proper CSS that gets your 
page looking right in every other browser than IE, and then tweak or 
hack for IE if you need to.  You'll have much better success this way.

the map I want to locate next to the ISO logo, but for now I am
leaving it at the bottom because I just don't know how come it is over
the RFQ form in firefox... 


The cause of this is not immediately apparent, but using the DOM 
Inspector in Firefox I can see that the problem is that the div that 
holds the RFQ form is ignoring the form.  The textarea in the form is 
not properly closed (per the validator) so I wonder if fixing this would 
help Firefox recognize the form and move the paragraph with the map 
image down accordingly.  Try it and let us know if it works.

but if I can at least get them looking kind
of the same I'd be happy. Interesting, in Firefox... the grid in the
content div is only like one line width wide, instead of behind all of
the blocka-blockd boxes like it shows in IE.
  


Hide the height: 1% that is on #content from every browser except IE and 
apply a float containment method to #content.

Oh and... my css validates, I have one non validating  statement on
the xhtml (nohref=nohref) does anyone know how to get that to
validate? It sure makes life easy... Hate to take it out.
  


You actually have two errors, the one of which is causing a problem with 
your page.  This error that you mention doesn't appear to be, so why 
worry about it?  Validation is a tool to help you debug your page -- 
it's not the end goal itself.  There can be perfectly good reasons to 
knowingly fail validation.  Get as close as you can, make sure your 
errors aren't hurting anything, then don't worry any more about it.

[css-d] Opera 8.5 bug

2005-12-02 Thread Lindsey
Hey-

I've designed a template for a client that is currently up for 
demo/testing here (my domain, not clients):

http://cssgirl.com/

Anyway, finally after hours of fooling around, I got the top menu and 
search bar working in all browsers. Or, so I thought. I was testing on 
Firefox 1.0.7, and 1.5, IE6 and Opera 8. When I finally upgraded to 8.5, 
I saw that new Opera completely distorted my menu bar!

Are there hacks to hide code/ modify code for Opera (such as using an 
underscore for ie like, _margin:whatever).

I know my css doesn't validate because I am using some underscores for 
positioning things (which I may or may not modify) - but any suggestions 
on how to modify this problem in opera?

What I need is for it to look the same in those three browsers (Firefox 
1.5, IE, Opera 8.5). And what did Opera change that had it correctly 
working in vers. 8, but messed up in 8.5?

Thanks,

Lindsey

Yes, it is...

The problem is collapsing margins[1], and the reason IE/win has
already fixed it is that the element is given dimensions. That'll
provide IE/win with a 'hasLayout'[2] trigger, so it encloses the element
and isolates the margin.

We may also apply any of the methods to create 'a self-contained[3]
block' to solve this margin-problem. Depends on what layout we have created.

However, a simple...

  #navigation {padding: 1px 0;}

...seems to work best in your case/page.

 margin:70px auto 0 auto;

Try adding

Well, I thought it was completely broken at first glance, but it is just
a lot of text and divs overlapping because you have used fixed height on
containers. Not a good idea if you want anyone with less than perfect
eyesight to read anything on that page - because they can't.

Using auto-height (default), maybe combined with 'min-height', would
work much better.
---

Layout is otherwise fine in Opera with 'min-font-size=11px', but is
breaking all over the place in Firefox with 'min-font-size=14px'.
Looking best in IE6 since that browser ignores 'height', although the
right column dropped down at normal font-size (16px).

I think you have the ideas right, but should test and improve some so
the layout holds together when subjected to basic browser-options.
Also, the page looses content if javascript is turned off, so Coffee
News was lost on me :-)

[css-d] Scrolling/Overflow Issue

2005-12-02 Thread Steve Westmoreland
Hi All,

I've composed a mock-up page from a photoshop file and it looks good across
browsers, but since using height: 100% on the body and wrap, the scroll bar
appears and there is unnessecary whitespace on the bottom of the page after
the content. I can hide the overflow, but this creates a problem if the
content flows past the browser viewport.

Could someone look at my source and give me some pointers on this one.

[css-d] How to: get rid of unwanted white space using CSS?

2005-12-02 Thread Amol Katdare
Hi,

I am using some indentation to maintain a little bit of code readability.

Here is a sample snippet:

span class=... onmouseover=... onmouseout=...
a href=# class=... onclick=.../some text/a
span id=... style=... 
a href=# style=... class=... onclick=... title=...x/a
/span
/span

The problem: This indentation (TAB/CRLF) displays itself as unwanted
space(s) when the HTML is rendered.

Is there any way to get rid of white space only text nodes using CSS? (FF
and IE)
I tried white-space attribute but couldn't get it to eliminate (though it
collapses spaces) the white space only text nodes.

Thanks,

There's also that 'display: table' to make FF hold the element around

Re: [css-d] help with IE needed gain

2005-12-02 Thread Holly Bergevin

 -Original Message-
 I have intergrated my orum with my site. so far so good. except the
way
 IE renders the page.
 
 if i could get away with swearing i would lol. for now i shall cry.
 
 can anyone suggest a fix, or see where i have gone wrong?
 
 all fine in FF windows, just IE is the problem
 http://www.soddengecko.com/forum/

I've looked at your poor site half a dozen times now, and I can't seem
to spot where IE is messing it up.  Hopefully someone else here will
have a fresh set of eyes to peer around with.

There are a few things you can do that will improve things significantly. The 
first is to get IE6 out of quirks mode by giving your page a complete doctype 
[1].

Then, you can simplify your life by changing all the widths of your tables to 
99% instead of 100%. 

Finally, with a selector something like the following, change the margin and 
padding settings for the class=buffer div that holds all forum post tables - 

#middle .buffer {margin: 0; padding: 5px;} 

I didn't look at your style sheet, so I don't know what the values set for 
margin and padding on .buffer are, but the above should override them for that 
middle instance of the class.

I hope that helps,

~Holly

[css-d] Strange float issue with Explorer 6

2005-12-02 Thread Alisha
I don't really know how tom explain this issue. but anyway... here's the 
css and xhtml which are driving me crazy.

http://www.synthetic-effulgence.com/glitch/home.html
http://www.synthetic-effulgence.com/glitch/style.css

In a container div (medium) there are two divs (main and menu)
I need menu to be on the right, and I made it floated and not absolute 
positiong cause in this way, the thirs div inside #medium can clear it, 
since it's supposed to be the longest one, and with the clearer div also 
the #medium div will be just as long.

Now there is the glitch.

On the #main div there's an h3, which I wanted to have a bg picture to 
fill the whole width as to cover for the top part the background of the 
container div #medium, even if the #menu is floated, I supposed that 
setting no background for it at all it would have stayed transparent, 
showing me both the #medium bg and what's on the bg of the #main h3.
well it does work fine on firefox, but in explorer 6 seems like even the 
#menu floated has a top margin which should allow the h3 to show its 
entire width that it blocks it anyway at the point where it starts, even 
in the top part which should be empty from the menu cause of the margin-top.
if i try to set the width of the h3 to the whole width of #medium then 
the whole #main, with the h3 as the first element, when pushed down the 
page till the end of #menu.

anyway, better explained by the page itself.

http://www.synthetic-effulgence.com/glitch/home.html
http://www.synthetic-effulgence.com/glitch/style.css

Anyone please can expliain me why is this happening and why so different 
from firefox to explorer, and how can i get the same effect on both browser?

thanks a lot

Yes. What you want is a Server Side Include[1]. It's not a CSS feature, 
though, but a server-side thingie.

 Could someone look at my source and give me some pointers on this one.

I see a fairly standard header + 2 col layout.  You don't need absolute 
positioning for this, and it is getting in your way.  Absolutely 
positioned elements are removed from the page 'flow'.  This means that 
their containers take up no 'space' and disappear.  Specifying heights 
for these containers only masks the problem.  These specified heights 
are causing the problems that you see.

In general I recommend removing all the 'height: 100%; and most of the 
'position: absolute;'.  Replace top and left with margin-top and 
margin-left as appropriate.  If you need further help, ask away.

 1.Background color not extending full length of NAV div (white gap
 on the far right)
You need to either float #nav ul or add a clearing element after the 
final /ul but before the /div  Currently the #nav and #nav ul are 
collapsing down to nothing because all the li are floated and therefore 
don't take up any space in the container.  Then add the bg color to the 
container (If you float the container you will need to set a width of 
100%). like so
#nav ul {
float: left;
background-color: #435a72;
width: 100%;
}

 2.Hover/gold color sticking out farther than width of navigation
 item (yes, I changed some width settings-something isn't working)
Remove the width from #nav a.  The padding is _added_ to the width if 
one is specified.

Actually Franklin Gothic is so unique that Georgia isn't too far off in
terms of similarity of possibly available web fonts. It's quite small as
sans fonts go, and its normal weight is bold in most sizes.

 Franklin Gothic is what the client requested, but if you know a better
 fallback list, let me know.

I spent hours on this on Linux, doze and OS/2, and only came up with
marginally better:

font: 600 medium 'franklin gothic medium', 'news gothic mt', georgia,

The similarity between Franklin and News varies considerably by stroke
and size and OS. Here are my worksheets:

Re: [css-d] Consistent navigation bar

2005-12-02 Thread Jacky
For maintenance, you should keep it in a seperate file, but this has nothing
to do with CSS. Just remember to use unorder list to keep the navigation bar
semantically correct.

[css-d] Dynodes: Cross-Domain Scripting using Dynamic Node Creation

2005-12-02 Thread Kent Brewster
 Hi, folks. In certain edge cases, XMLHTTPRequest is impossible or unpalatable. 
It could be cross-domain security issues. It could also be that you've got a 
friendly script on the other end that supplies a JSON object with a callback, 
so you don't need to take the extra step of proxying it through a server on 
your domain.
 
 
 Dynodes use CSS, unobtrusive Javascript, and the Document Object Model to 
create, import, run, and destroy foreign script nodes on demand, without the 
usual security restrictions faced by AJAX. They seem to run under most of the 
DOM-aware browsers I’ve tested, without leaking a disastrous amount of memory. 
 
 
 A working prototype is online here:
 
 
 http://www.mindsack.com/uxe/dynodes/
 
 
 I would especially appreciate feedback from Safari 1.1 and 1.2 users. I know 
dynodes work on 1.3, but not 1.0.x, so pinpointing exactly where on the Safari 
continuum they drop out would be very useful.
 
 
 Thanks for your time,
 
 
 --Kent
