Re: [css-d] @import media rule
jack fredricks wrote: I have tried; 1) imported print.css for all media 2) wrapped the content of print.css in an @media print rule but it still doesnt work for silly IE6 FF is fine. FF web dev toolbar shows that print.css was linked properly. Just a tip - Wrapping this way allows u change the @media print rule to @media all, effectively allowing you to see what your page will print like (as ofc is print preview). I guess that means my question is; Is there a way to import a print only style sheet for IE without using a LINK element? I don't think so, as a parsing bug in IE/win - which seems to be present in all Trident-based versions, included IE7, will make that browser look for another file when '@import ... print' is used. I use that parsing bug as a hack[1] - replacing 'conditional comments', but I still have to rely on the @media rule in the stylesheet to prevent it from being a 'media all' stylesheet. Now, all my testing shows that IE6 picks up _my_ printing-styles correctly the way I have applied the @import and @media rules - although IE/win can be quite stubborn when it comes to overriding some of the dedicated screen styles with the equivalent print styles.

[css-d] Firefox 1.03 and floats
Hi, Am having a problem with floats on Firefox ( PC - Ver 1.03). Basic enough page, with a right floated element followed by some text, problem was/is the text ended up being pushed out to the right and ended up half off-screen. I thought I had fixed this issue as it first manifested itself on Firefox on the PC and Safari/Firefox on the Mac, I fixed it then by simply putting in a clearing div after a float right div. This straightened it all out and everything worked well on all browsers I checked in (PC - IE, Firefox, Opera. MAC - Safari, Firefox). Then this morning a user with PC firefox 1.03 found the exact same problem. Is there some known issue with that version of Firefox and how it works with floats and clears etc?

Hi Erik, As you can see, IE6 is 'helping'(!!) you by making sure that it expands the container and causing the problem that you're experiencing!! :) Here is *one* answer (although I must admit, I'm not a big fan of it as it seems a bit 'hack-y'): 1. Add an extra span around the text within the link, eg. a href=[LINK] title=[TITLE] class=ubytimg alt=Penzión Zelený dom - Rajecké Teplice src=[IMG] border=2spanPenzión Zelený dom - Rajecké Teplice/span/a (by the way, you need to get rid of the border attribute - set it in your stylesheet! :) 2. Add the following to your stylesheet: .top-vyrobok a { position:relative; } .top-vyrobok a span { position:absolute; top:110px; left:0; width:100%; } Just tested it in IE6, FF1.5.0.3, Safari2.0.3, Opera8.54, Mac Opera9.00(b3216) and all looks OK.

[css-d] PNG alpha transparency bug in Firefox
Hi, I'm not actually sure what's the problem but here is the description, maybe someone knows what's going on. I tried to make a better example page but couldn't replicate the bug so I must present the whole web page. http://www.pulu.org/transbug/ministri.php?j=weltsu SEURAAVAT KEIKAT in the left column has a PNG alpha-channel background-image. The newest Opera and Firefox support that so I use: html[xmlns] .keikkalistaContainer {background-image: url('../layout_images/pieni.png');} /* not for IE */ For IE I use: !--[if gte IE 5.5000]style type=text/css/* IE \*/ * html .keikkalistaContainer {filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader (src='layout_images/pieni.png',sizingMethod='scale');} /* IE */ /style![endif]-- It worked fine as far as I noticed the strange behaviour in Firefox (1.5.0.3). Leave the URL I gave in background for a few minutes and the background-image has disappeared (well it doesn't always do that...) Scroll up and down and it has appeared back. Opera works well, so does IE (but it uses different codes). I'm not sure but it seems like the bug is only in that specific page, not in http://www.pulu.org/transbug/index.php for example. Another issue is the profile background (middle part, blue bordered) place in IE6 (not in 5.5 for example), it's aligned to left for some reason. Also the profile texts get lost after a while (the page must be in background) and can be get back by painting with mouse or scrolling down the page.

If your goal is to make it the same in IE6.0. FF1.5.2, and Opera9beta, then: 1/ Delete the stuff above the doctype, that is putting it in quirks mode. 2/ div.content { padding-top: 1px; add this to this selector } 3/ Validate the CSS. 4/ Make a back-up copy of your html file. Run it through TidyOnlinehttp://infohound.net/tidy/ to clean up the markup. 5/ Validate the markup. Lucky strike extras: 6/ Trim the page width so it will not draw a scroll bar at 800. 7/ Set the text and side nav flush left(text-aligh: left; 8/ Reset the fonts so that IE can scale them. This one method of doing so: body { font: 100%/1.2 sans-serif;} Delete the font-families you currently have on the selectors; Set the both navs to font-size: 95%; Set no font-size on the content-text(it will inherit default from the body) HTH, ~davidLaakso -- http://www.dlaakso.com/gustave/ __ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7b2 testing hub -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/

The easiest way to avoid that bug, is to restyle like this... .friends { background: #ffeab8; padding-top: 3px; padding-bottom: 6px; } .friends p { background: #ffeab8; margin: 1em 4px 1em 1em; } ...and it isn't a good idea to use borders as pseudo-margins anyway, since borders may end up *black* if border-color is forced by a browser-option. IE/win is good at that :-) Also, the 'margin-doubling on floats' bug in IE is messing up the positions on a couple of other elements. Adding... #main{display: inline;} #content2 {display: inline;} ...will make things render more identical across browser-land. And while you're at it: avoid using pixels on 'line-height'. .alttext {line-height: 14px;} ...should be changed to... .alttext {line-height: 1.1;} ...to avoid overlapping text-lines in IE/win and Opera.

Re: [css-d] CSS 4 print
On 5/17/06, [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Can I use CSS to move things around on the printed page, including before a page break? The short answer is: you definitely can use CSS to do this, but browsers will always mess up your positioning. Basically the only safe CSS-P for printing is: position:static; float:none; As in, the default. From the wiki (http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=PrintStylesheets) : --- (Authored by Kevin Venkiteswaran) Part of browsers' poor support for printing includes butchering content that is laid out with anything but position: static. This includes simple positioning such as relative and absolute. For example, Win/IE5.0 and Win/IE5.5 would show only the top-most onscreen portion of a div that was positioned absolute and had overflow: auto (a CSS setup to emulate HTML frames). Similarly, Mozilla 1.6 had similar problems. The solution was to change all position properties from fixed, absolute, etc. back to static. --- The problem I've seen with floats is that floated images will get cut off and even dissappear. If you just float text it *might* work, but you'll have to test and see.

[css-d] Position menu to new location
Hi all, I have a division element with an id of menu. It contains an unordered list and a search box. It is contained within no other elements beyond the body tag. Currently, it is the second element in the page, both in code and display. I would like to make it the second to last element in code (before the div#footer element), but keep it in its current display position. Currently, this element has a margin style of 0 auto to facilitate centring. Any thoughts?

[css-d] Arbitrary footer trouble.
Hi all, I've been having an intermittent problem with our new CSS/XHTML design -- so intermittent that I haven't been able to reproduce it myself and have only come across it on one occasion when it happened to somebody else and I just happened to be nearby. Sounds real promising, I know. Anyway, as the design is still on an internal test server, I've put the source, CSS, and a fake of what the problem looks like on one of our public servers. If nobody looks at them and has an aha moment, I'll beg IT to make the server temporarily available off-campus and send the problem again. Here's the fake screenshot: http://www1.kenyon.edu/examples/oops_bar.jpg As you probably guessed, that purple bar should be at the bottom of the window, directly beneath and snug up to the yellow bar, not floating around in the middle. This doesn't happen consistently across pages and it doesn't always happen more than once to the same page. Refreshing appears to make it go away. I've only seen it happen in IE 6, but I'm not certain which browser the others who have seen it were using. Here's the source : http://www1.kenyon.edu/examples/oops_source.txt And here's the css: http://www1.kenyon.edu/examples/styles.css Again, don't fool away too much time looking at this if it's not a duh problem.

Re: [css-d] Arbitrary footer trouble.
this probably isn't the ah ha moment answer, but i'm guessing that something is putting your footer at the bottom of the viewport instead of the bottom of the content from the position of the purple bar. i'm guessing your browser window was probably in the 1024x768 range judging by how far down the footer is. again, i doubt this is the best lead, but perhaps i'll get lucky and guess right. :) best of luck! __ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7b2 testing hub -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/

As an example: http://www.nicktoye.co.uk/ I englarged the text and noticed the text going out of the box. In my design: http://www.pamshop.com/Template1/exp9.html I thought I could get the graphics to expand (Latin text box) using a rounded corners method. However the box breaks up as the text is enlarged.

[css-d] CSS onclick event?
Here's an odd one...and this is purely for theoretical purposes. I was just wondering if there was any possible way to have a link remain one color until another one is clicked upon, using *only* CSS. For example, if you had a UL list comprised of 5 links, would it be possible to hover over Link1, have the background color change, and when you clicked on it, it would *remain* the background color...until you clicked on Link 2? (Then Link 1 would revert back to the normal state, while Link 2 remained the hover color?) Does this make sense? Maybe if I put it in the context of a tabbed menu - where whatever section you were on, the tab corresponding to it would pop out - all without switching pages or using a script.

[css-d] A Fairly Complex Design Complete, wishing to implement using all CSS
Hi Everyone, We just received a final design for a new website, in Photoshop format. It looks good and meets the need... And it is fully approved by the client. Now, I could do what I've always done -- slice it up using Adobe ImageReady and output it as HTML/Tables. But I recently did an output using CSS instead, and JUST as I've always wanted, I ended up with a very clean separation of content from layout using absolute positioning. However, the main content area is of dynamic length, and I ran into trouble when it was too long - it overran the footer, and no amount of CSS experimentation would fix it. So, I am ready to start over and reslice the template... But I'd really like the guidance of a CSS expert to help me slice this template up properly so that it does what I want, but in CSS. The main problem is, I only have about $100 left in the budget to get a guru's assistance. This was a fixed-bid project for a non-profit client. That amount is generally insulting to experts, but I'm wondering if perhaps for that amount, someone here would be willing to assist off-list, and just point me in the right direction using the tools that I have available to me. I could provide a JPG of the layout, and perhaps the right person could give me a better starting point than I have right now...? Finally... I am (BRAND) new to the list - please accept my apologies if this post is offensive in any way, as I have not had time to lurk and observe the true etiquette and nature of the list. I just want to get this done, but if a CSS-only layout is too much for this design, I'll have to go back to regular tables. Thanks for whatever help you can provide...

[css-d] [tech] cached images not displaying
This is a problem I've been wrestling with on and on for the last few months. It has been extremely difficult to get a handle on, since it is intermittent and often difficult to reproduce. I am bringing it to this list because it may be a CSS problem; it could also be an IE quirk, and am hoping somebody else may have experienced this problem.. The HTML validates perfectly, and the CSS is conservative level 2 and correct, as far as I can tell. The issue: I'm testing on XP Home, using Firefox 1.5 and IE 6. No problems with Firefox. With IE, a series of 60x60 gif images are inconsistently being displayed. Sometimes they show, most often when I flush the browser cache or start up clean. But usually I just get a small empty box where they should be. I have a light border around each one, so I can see where they are supposed to be. I tried saving as web page complete, and this version always shows all the images, leading me to suspect something about the way the pages are being served. This is on a shared server at dreamhost, using: Apache/1.3.33 (Unix) mod_throttle/3.1.2 DAV/1.0.3 mod_fastcgi/2.4.2 mod_gzip/1.3.26.1a PHP/4.4.2 mod_ssl/2.8.22 OpenSSL/0.9.7e, with Zend memory manager. But since the problem never occurs with Firefox, I haven't been thinking too hard that the server is at fault. Here is one thing I noticed - I specified width and height attributes for the images. If I right click on an image (or where it should be) and look at its properties, I see the correct width/height images. But the size, created, and modified fields all show not available. With the version I saved on my computer on local disk, which always displays correctly, has the correct values filled in for these fields. If I view the access log as I reload the page after clearing the cache, I see the image requests, with a status code of 200, and a correct size of 480 bytes. I don't know why the size/created/modified values aren't available when I look at the image properties, but think this may be a valuable clue. Can anyone shine light on what this means, and why it is happening? __ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7b2 testing hub -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
[css-d] A couple of odd spacing issues...
Hi all, I could really use some help with 2 spacing issues on this page: http://indigopear.com/Clients/rcjl/Index.html The css is here: http://indigopear.com/Clients/rcjl/style.css 1. Margins/padding are set to 0, yet the photo boxes have a space between the rows in Firefox and Opera. 2. In IE6, there is a space at the bottom of the header (above the orangey line). The wierd part is that if you roll over one of the square box links the gap closes up some, and then it expands again when you roll over the top menu. Any insights about what's going on here? Thanks! -Ann __ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7b2 testing hub -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
[css-d] border-collapse bug. (?)
Hi All - I've run into what appears to be a bug, but haven't been able to find any documentation on it. Essentially I'm working with a table with a width of 100%. On the top and bottom of the table are divs with a width of auto (to allow for inner padding). These are used for pagination, etc. The table has a border applied to all the table cells. The divs and table have the same exact width and are fluid. That is until I set border-collapse to collapse. When collapse is applied, the left side of the table extends over 1 pixel in Firefox and 1 pixel over to the right in Safari. I forget what it does in IE, I'm away from my test PC at the moment. Has anyone else run into this behavior, know what the cause is, workaround, etc? My guess is that the calculation of the table width is different (and for some reason off) when border collapse is set to collapse. But it's just that.. a guess. Mostly based of the W3C spec: http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/tables.html#collapsing-borders I've set up a test case to demonstrate what I'm talking about. Any help is appreciated.

[css-d] funny space on div in FF
Hello, I have a situation where I have a div id=content that follows a div id=navbar. FF shows a small space between the 2 div's, that is until I put a border around the div id=content. When I do, the div is pulled up flush with the top div with only the border in between. I've seen this behavior before but have never figured out why it happens. The reason it is a problem on this particular page is because I have a bg image that I need to be flush with the top div. You can see this behavior using FF at this address: http://tibbits.ca/test/Camprotary.ca/info.php If you use IE you can see that it looks the way I want it to. Have I made a mistake in the way I've coded this, or is FF behaving the way it is supposed to? I could put a border around it as a temporary fix, but then there would still be a 1px space between the top of the image (div id=content) and the top div (id=navbar). If anybody could point me in the right direction on this, I would much appreciate it.

You can see this behavior using FF at this address: http://tibbits.ca/test/Camprotary.ca/info.php it is a margin-collapse issue. The problem doesn't happen in IE because the container 'hasLayout' [1] which prevents the margin on the h1 from 'escaping'. Firefox, Safari, Opera, iCab, IE mac, and any browser that supports css 2.x reasonably all show this. Adding a border to the div in question fixes this as you discover; better could be: give the div a small padding (1px) or larger padding (1em) and then zero out the top margin on the h1.

Adjacent vertical margins are combined into one, and placed at the top. When you place the border there, the margins are no longer adjacent. It's the margin from the H1 inside div#info whose margin is escaping. This can be somewhat counterintuitive, but seems to be to spec: http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/box.html#collapsing-margins You can fix it simply with: div#info h1 {margin-top: 0; padding-top: 1em;} This reduces the offending margin to nothing and then adds back the desired space as padding.

[css-d] Fun header challenge?
I'm trying to make what should be a simple header. Problem is that I want it to expand properly with enlarged text sizes. The entire header has a background color. In the center is a centered h1 for the page title, and at the left is an img (a transparent png logo) followed by a span containing the site title. Here's where it gets fun. The logo, of course, is a fixed height. It has more height than I want the background color to be at normal text size. I want the difference in height to be split above and below the colored background. So if the logo is 100px high, and the background color is 80px high, i want the image to start 10px above the background color, and overflow 10px below it. I also need short text above the header. Here's a graphic: http://www.kennygraham.net/help/small.png That I can do. But not in a way that works with text resizing. When the text enlarges, I want the background color to expand to stay 3x as high as the h1, for the logo to stay centered within the background color, and for it all to stay below the text above the header. Here's the good news: I don't need it to work in IE. I'll be serving it as xhtml, so I'm only concerned with modern browsers.

I tried setting widths on the divs, relative positioning, margins, paddings, resizing the window, the whole nine yards and came up with nada. I don't have Safari; IE on Windows came up ok (gasp) but Firefox had the tell-tale, immutable 1px left offset just as you indicated.

Yea, I've been pulling my hair out about this for a while. My only workaround is to forget the border-collapse and resort to top and right borders on the td /'s then creating the exception classes for the td / border's meet the containing table border, which is messier then I want to go. The thing that bugs me the most is I can't find any documentation on this little anomaly.
