Re: [css-d] Multiple class name support

2006-06-19 Thread Michael Geary
   I'm just wondering how well is the multi-class feature (i.e. 
   class=style1 style2 style3) supported in various browsers.
   Also, is there any significant difference between browsers in
   terms of how the order of class names affects the
   specificity/style precedence? 

 Actually, IE has issues with multiple selectors. Not that it 
 doesn't work, just that there are caveats (that have bitten 
 me several times).
 
 Refer to the wiki for details:
 http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=MultipleClasses

The wiki doesn't say there is any issue with class=one two three in IE. I
use that extensively and haven't seen any problems with any browsers as far
back as IE 5.0. The problem is when you try to use a CSS selector like
.one.two {}, which doesn't work at all in IE. But you can certainly use .one
{} or .two {} to match the class=one two three.

To achieve an and effect like .one.two {} gives and have it work in any
reasonably modern browser, I use nested elements with individual classnames.
For example, if I want to do the equivalent of:

 span class=one two
test
 /span

 .one.two {}

I use instead:

 span class=one
span class=two
   test
/span
 /span

 .one .two {}

It's somewhat ugly but effective. Note that this still works fine if there
are multiple classnames, e.g.

 span class=one three
span class=two four
   test
/span
 /span

 .one .two {} /* identical results to previous example */

But this may or may not relate to the OP's question...

-Mike

Hi,

Since I didn't get any (?) feedback at all last time I thought I'd 
bring it back up. Its only minor glitches with a clean and small 
example and I'm really keeping my fingers crossed that you guys and 
gals can help me work them out. (Old post below)

Hi,

I'm working on making a fairly simple css layout and have a couple of 
small issues that I need to resolve before it works in Explorer, 
Firefox, Netscape and Opera. I'm pretty confident that theres not 
much 
work needed to get it right and I'm hoping to get some pointers on 
how 
to fix it. Here is a list of things I've spotted in the various 
browers


Explorer  6.0.2900.2180
- No problems here.

Firefox 1.5.0.3
- The 2px high gap between the blue box and the black line has 
disappeared

Netscape 8.1
- Same as firefox since its the same engine

Opera 8.54 Build 7730
- Vertically centers the main layout =(
- The background for the footer div gets messed up.


Also, is there any good cross-brower alternatives to the 
FooterStickAlt (which I use) method which doesnt suffer from the 
problem where it could end up hiding contents due to overlapping with 
the contents in the above layer?

Here is the example layout
http://www.selfinflicted.org/css/layout_example.html

Thank you!

 Netscape 8.1

#check has a height: 278px;
#header has a height: 276px; and a padding-top of 2px.

Good browsers respect this height of header, meaning that #check cannot 
respect the padding-bottom of 2px. No gap.

IE7 expands the height of #header to 278px to fit #check.


 
 Opera 8.54 Build 7730
 - Vertically centers the main layout =(
What is the purpose of display:table in #container?

#container has a height of 100%;

Since there is no table-row in that box, I think an UA will contruct an 
anonymous table-row and table-cell, and its vertical position seems to 
be not defined:

http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/tables.html#height-layout
CSS 2.1 does not define how extra space is distributed when the 
'height' property causes the table to be taller than it otherwise would be.

But I may be wrong here.


 - The background for the footer div gets messed up.
same in Safari. What is the purpose of display:table in #footer ? (Here, 
border-collapse:collapse could fix this)

http://www.themaninblue.com/writing/perspective/2005/08/29/
For this scenario you should provide a bit of space at the bottom of 
your content which the footer can rise into without covering anything. 
This can be done with a bit of padding or margin on your content.

 The list items have a red background color which allows the graph to

In my experience, borders tend to print even when backgrounds don't.
Perhaps you could add a border to each bar, which would at least make
the bars visible in print, even if they're not exactly solid.

Hi Andreas,
Then nothing to do for IE, just checking after other changes. ;-)

Firefox 1.5.0.3
- The 2px high gap between the blue box and the black line has 
disappeared
  

Deleting the height of the #header will help (is already defined by the 
height of the #check).

Netscape 8.1
- Same as firefox since its the same engine
  

Netscape 6.2 is o.k. now, suppose higher too.

Opera 8.54 Build 7730
- Vertically centers the main layout =(
- The background for the footer div gets messed up.
  

Deleting the {display:table;} in the #container and #footer will help.

With these changings, I made a testpage here 
http://home.tiscali.nl/developerscorner/css-discuss/test-selfinflicted.htm.

Also, is there any good cross-brower alternatives to the 
FooterStickAlt (which I use) method which doesnt suffer from the

I don't know by head, but maybe things are possible with {overflow: 
auto;}, or you can get ideas from the WIKI footer page 
http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=FooterInfo.
Some general remarks about fixed/not-fixed I put in the testpage: be 
careful with fixing! - As the experimental page is now, it has some 
(major!) issues in it...

Re: [css-d] IE6 Skip to Content workaround

2006-06-19 Thread Christian Heilmann
 Hi all
 I am implementing the Skip to content link at the beginning of the
 page for screen readers to skip the navigation and go straight to the
 main content.
 However, Internet Explorer 6.0 moves the visual focus, but not the input
 focus.
 How do I get this to work in IE6?

Wrong mailing list. This is an HTML problem. The answer is though that
internet explorer needs the target element to have hasLayout,
meaning you need to set either a dimension on it or hack with zoom:1
in the CSS.

Gez did the research: http://juicystudio.com/article/ie-keyboard-navigation.php

[css-d] 4-col and/or 5-col simple layouts: Examples to learn from?

2006-06-19 Thread Micky Hulse
Hi,

I am looking for a few good/bulletproof examples of four and five column 
fixed-width (floated?) simple/basic CSS layouts... no frills or gimmicks 
(i.e. faux columns, negative margins...)

I have a pretty good idea how to tackle this type of layout 
(fixed-width, all floated left, account for IE broken box model), but I 
would love to see some simple/solid examples before I completely 
re-invent the wheel.

Links, suggestions, thoughts, RTFM's... all appreciated.  :)

[css-d] Interesting bug... vanishing links!

2006-06-19 Thread css
Hi there,

I seem to have a bug with vanishing links. The HTML validates
(I assumed I'd missed a  somewhere) so I guess I've screwed up
the CSS somehow?

Please have a look at http://www.wdam.co.uk/clients/dynam/hh/

If you look in IE, all the links (are you a, homeseeker, etc)
work fine.

If you look in Firefox, they all work fine on the front page.
But if you click on homeseeker, the developer and landowner
links stop working. 

On other pages, different links suffer! I can't see a pattern
and nor can my programmer partner - we are both baffled!

Anyone seen this kind of thing before, or can offer advice?

The Web Developer toolbar is your friend. (Especially the Outline
Selected/Current Element.)

It looks like the triangle div is covering those links on some of the pages.

As a quick-fix I tried adding a z-index: 1; to the #sidebar div and
this seems to fix it, but may not be the best way to go about it.

The links on the right are covered by the triangle.
Set a border for #triangle in your stylesheet and you'll see it.

The only reason that on the homepage the links still work, is 
that on that page, you have div#triangle *before* div#navlist, 
and as both have position:absolute, the one that's later in the 
source, will overlap the earlier one.

Re: [css-d] Multiple class name support

2006-06-19 Thread cj
 The wiki doesn't say there is any issue with class=one two three in IE. I
 use that extensively and haven't seen any problems with any browsers as far
 back as IE 5.0. The problem is when you try to use a CSS selector like
 .one.two {}, which doesn't work at all in IE. But you can certainly use .one
 {} or .two {} to match the class=one two three.

not quite true in my experience.  there are three bugs that i know
related to having multiple class/id names.  note that if you're only
working with classes, you only need to worry about the first one.

multiple classes bug:
http://www.quirksmode.org/bugreports/archives/2004/12/IE_CSS_rendering_bug_with_multiple_classnames.html

combining ID with class:

Re: [css-d] rolling over, having a hidden image appear

  I don't understand how to get the label image of each specific

 question marks, when hovering over the individual wineries. Then when
 mousing out, have it disappear.

a) Use JavaScript - would be much easier and you can pull in the logo

b) Embed the logos in the link, and position them absolutely on hover.

[css-d] aligning a p tag with the top of a div in IE

2006-06-19 Thread Debbie Campbell
Hello all,

I cannot figure out how to get the p tag to line up with the top of a
particular div in IE6. It works fine in Firefox.

You'll see the p tag in green, contained in a yellow div, near the bottom of
this page:

I know that vertical-align doesn't work with block elements - is there

As I was about to comment on how the text can just be scaled up to
suit, I scaled it up myself in Mac Flock (FF) and was amazed to see
that when the nav, for starters, gets scaled out of view of my browser
window, I do _not_ get a horiz scroll bar! If i widen my browser
window, the overflow is there, but I can't _scroll_ to see it.

Seems like a problem to me...

Re: [css-d] Multiple class name support

2006-06-19 Thread Sam Brown
 Actually, IE has issues with multiple selectors. Not that it 
 doesn't work, just that there are caveats (that have bitten 
 me several times).
 
 Refer to the wiki for details:
 http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=MultipleClasses

 The wiki doesn't say there is any issue with class=one two three in IE. I
 use that extensively and haven't seen any problems with any browsers as far
 back as IE 5.0. The problem is when you try to use a CSS selector like
 .one.two {}, which doesn't work at all in IE. But you can certainly use .one
 {} or .two {} to match the class=one two three.

 From the wiki:
  Internet Explorer (Win/6, Mac/5.x): broken. The multiple selector will 
select every element with the last class in the selector (order in the selector 
is important, order of the classes in the HTML is not), regardless of the 
presence of the other classes. In other words, IE treats .one.two.three exactly 
as it does .three.
 
 This has forced me, on several occasions to reorder the selector to get proper 
behavior in IE.
 
 To achieve an and effect like .one.two {} gives and have it work in any
 reasonably modern browser, I use nested elements with individual classnames.
 For example, if I want to do the equivalent of:

 The fact that you have to use a workaround to get multiple selectors to be 
applied in IE as they would in other browsers suggests to me that there is, in 
fact, an issue with IE's implementation of multiple selectors.
 
 The flaw is this:
 
 span class=one two fourtext/span
 
 .one.two.four { color: blue; }
 
 .one.three.four { color: red; }
 
 In IE the text in the span is be red. Obviously, it's important that people 
not familiar with the implementation of multiple selectors, like the person 
with the original question, be aware of this issue in IE.
 
 -Sam

so for a two col layout as an example you would float the first col

 I'd say that if you can do it with margin adjustments that's the way
 to go. If you need to get a little more sophisticated then move to
 floats, but use them as sparingly as possible.  For a two column
 layout you need just one float, for example, not two.

 The content div leaves a big gap.  I have a p then it won't allow the next

You also have a br class=both /!--clear floats-- in there, and 
that will clear everything within reach - exept in IE where the #content

 very weird.
 Anybody see a simple solution?

Isolate the #content in all browsers, by creating a 'Block formatting

#content {margin: 0; float: left;}

It works great in Safari and FIrefox Mac/Win, but breaks in IE 6

Ok, I said that I was aware of -- I wasn't aware until now. :-)

Both Els and -Nick pointed out:

The line is the top border of this element:
a href=#narrowparagraphimg src=images/gifs/transparent.gif
alt=Skip Navigation height=2 width=2/a

Which carries the image border thing problem. I placed that there for 
accessibility Skip Navigation, which as my Mom used to say No good deed ever 
goes unpunished.

Thanks for all your most observant help.

Now, one last question.

Why does the background image I use not work in just the those two pages 
showing my menu examples --

http://www.sperling.com/examples/menuh/
http://www.sperling.com/examples/menuv/

-- via Firefox 1.5.0.4 running on Mac OS X 10.4.6 and I assume others?

I've looked at it and the problem isn't obvious to me as to why it's happening. 
Is it the IE conditional statement interfering with the basic css with regard 
to background?

Thanks again for your time.

[css-d] Problem with Firefox 1.5.0.4 / Win and 1.0.8 Linux

2006-06-19 Thread Andreas Kakanis-Silk

Dear colleages

I am very new to CSS, and am trying out some designs for a new website 
using only CSS and HTML as much as possible, based on Eric Meyer's two 
great books, EM on CSS and More EM on CSS. The particular problem I am 
having with Firefox (both under Windows XP and Linux) is that it needs a 
refresh to appear as it should. It works fine in IE7 B2, Opera 8.54 and 
Opera 9 Beta.


Here are 2 screenshots of the page in FF:

This is on 1st load, clean cache: http://www.koperti.gr/ff-pre-refresh.png

and this is after a page reload: http://www.koperti.gr/ff-post-refresh.png

The page is at http://www.koperti.gr/koperti04.html (W3C XHTML 
Validated, no errors)


The CSS is at http://www.koperti.gr/css/koperti04.css (W3C CSS 
Validated, 1 error as I am using a behavior call for IE = 6 for hover 
and a number of warnings, e.g., no color with background-color and some 
redefinitions (IE hacks mostly, plucked from EM's books)


Please, if you know why FF is doing this, please let me know. I am 
tearing my hair out (and I don't have a lot to start with).


Also, the seem to be a couple of minor glitches (that I can live with) 
but again, if anyone knows why please let me know - I am desperate to 
learn this stuff. In IE6, Win 2000, the 2nd and third level menus are 
0.5em to the left of their correct positions and in Konqueror 3.4.3, 
Linux, the 2nd and third level menus ul have lost their right borders.


And one final thing, if anyone can report how it looks in IE5/Mac and/or 
Safari, I would be extremely grateful (I have checked the page with 
Konqueror as I understand it uses the same rendering engine as Safari, 
i.e., khtml.


Thanks in advance for any help

You can test that of course, by taking out that statement and 
check if the problem persists in FF.


Which background-image are you referring to? I don't see anything 
in IE(7) that isn't there in Firefox, except for quite a few 
problems with overlapping texts in the content (on all pages).
Opera also shows me the same thing as Firefox.

 One more detail: apparently the bug doesn't occur on the links
 at the top-right of the page--just on the links that are below
 the horizontal menu.

Hi,

You gave #container display:table;.
You've also set the width of the floated children to resp. 70% 
and 29.5%. This is a percentage of their parent's width, but 
since the parent has display:table, it shrink-wraps around the 
children. Vicious cycle :-)

No idea whatsoever why clicking the links triggers the #container 
collapsing, but if you either take off display:table, or add a 
set width to #container, nothing collapses, so the links don't 
disappear from under your mouse half way clicking them (which is 
why it seems like they're not working).

depends on the desierd effect - here's an example with a single image 
and opacity:

www.dottedi.biz/codesamples/opacity_upon_hover.html

View source - the CSS is contained.  JavaScript is commonly used for 
more complex fading type transitions.

Re: [css-d] Image Fading Effect w/ CSS

2006-06-19 Thread Ben Liu
Current browsers don't have good widespread support for changing  
image opacity. Right now only a few are capable, Opera and Safari I  
think. IE5/6 definitely do not so it can't be done purely with CSS.  
By having two variations of each image, one at 100% opacity and a  
matching one at a lower opacity (which would have to be done in an  
image editing program like Photoshop), you could then swap between  
the two on hover using some CSS.

a short description of the link (dt) in dd, and a bg picture for dt.
I floated and stretched the dta over the the dd, and it works in FF; the
full surface is clickable.
In IE however the dta float is pushed under the dd.
How can this be changed?
Is my method any good? Alternatives for same effect?

[css-d] CSS layout breaks in IE6 when window is narrow

2006-06-19 Thread Debbie Campbell
I'm not sure what to call this problem... When you narrow the width of the
browser window far enough, the right-side div breaks and shows up below the
two left columns (green and blue) in IE 6. Doesn't happen in FF. 

http://www.parallaxwebdesign.com/projects/parallax_r2/

#content-right {
margin-left: 0;
padding: 0;
height: 299px;
color: black;
background-color: transparent;
text-align: left;
overflow: scroll;
overflow-x: hidden;
}

Here's the overall container div in which the three columns sit:

#container {
clear: both;
float: left;
width: 100%;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
background-color: white;
background-image: url(graphics/linepattern_green.jpg);
border-top: 1px solid white;
}

What is this problem called, if it has a specific name? And what can I do
about it? Thanks

It's called a column drop.  The simple cause is too much content for the 
width available.  Something has to give, so a column drops.

Now, the problem with posting code snippets is that they rarely show 
where the problem really is.  In fact, in this case, there is no 
problem.  The reason it works in FF is because of a min-width:550px on 
the body element, and that 550 px is enough to prevent the column drop.

The reason it fails in IE is because no current version of IE respects 
min-width.  So, once the window is squeezed too far, IE drops the column.

Comment out the min-width, and FF will drop the column too.

There are a few work arounds noted in the WIKI:

I floated and stretched the dta over the the dd, and it works in FF; the
full surface is clickable.
In IE however the dta float is pushed under the dd.
How can this be changed?
Is my method any good? Alternatives for same effect?

Here is a test setup:

Hi G,
There are two html tags in the code, maybe IE is falling over that?

Greetings,
francky

 if you either take off
 display:table, or add a set width to #container, nothing
 collapses,

 When I remove the display:table, my pixel borders disappear.
 Do you have any idea about how I can keep those borders but
 get rid of the other unwanted properties?  I'd like this div
 to expand as the width of the browser expands.

Yup, use option number 2: add a set width to #container:
width:100%;
