[css-d] DIV wrapping

2006-07-07 Thread Vitali Doudko
Hello,
 
First of all this is my very first post here, so please forgive me for
possibly being off on something.
 
I got a CSS layout question in regards to wrapping of nested DIV
elements. How can I make sure that a set of images each placed in a DIV
element wraps inside of a parent DIV like those images would without a
div around them? The reason I want to wrap each image in a div is
because I would like to have description under each one of the images.
Maybe there's another way of adding image descriptions without having to
use tables. Please enlighten me if that's the case.
 

Below is the code in its simplest form, plus you can go to
http://www.p1x44r.com/journal/view.php?id=imstillalive
http://www.p1x44r.com/journal/view.php?id=imstillalive  to view the
original. The code below is by no means final as I keep playing with it,
I just pasted what I had there at the moment.
 
div class=imagebucket
div class=imageholderimg class=image
src=/images/content/imstillalive/thumb_1.jpg /br/I would like image
description to go in here./div
div class=imageholderimg class=image
src=/images/content/imstillalive/thumb_2.jpg /br/I would like image
description to go in here./div
div class=imageholderimg class=image
src=/images/content/imstillalive/thumb_3.jpg /br/I would like image
description to go in here./div
div class=imageholderimg class=image
src=/images/content/imstillalive/thumb_4.jpg /br/I would like image
description to go in here./div
div class=imageholderimg class=image
src=/images/content/imstillalive/thumb_5.jpg /br/I would like image
description to go in here./div
/div
 

Here's CSS for all those classes.
 
.imagebucket {
 background-color:#EFECDF;
 padding:10px 10px 10px 10px;
 text-align:center;
 margin-left:auto;
 margin-right:auto; }
 
.imageholder {
 display:table-cell;
 width:200px;
 background-color:#FF;
 border:1px solid #A8A391;
 padding:4px 4px 4px 4px;
 margin:5px 5px 5px 5px;
}
 
.image {
 border:1px solid #A8A391;
 padding:1px 1px 1px 1px;
 cursor:pointer;
 margin:5px 7px 5px 7px;
}
 

Thanks much for your help, it is greatly appreciated!

[css-d] Page check please.

2006-07-07 Thread Mark Batty (Gmail)
Hi all

I've made some changes since my last post, I think it now works in the 
following:

FF1.5, IE6, IE5.5, Opera 9 (XP)

I believe there are issues in Netscape, Mozilla, Safari and IE5 Mac, 
would anyone be able to check these and any other platforms/browsers for 
me please.

I think ideally I would like it stable in IE6/5.5, IE5 Mac, FF, Safari. 
  Opera would be nice (I think it works in 9) as would Mozilla (which I 
think has a similar bug to Netscape).

If anyone finds any problems I would appreciate any pointers or advice 
as I am now at the end of my CSS knowledge :(

I've used some hack management now as I was getting confused and can 
hopefully drop them one by one in the future.  The main files are below 
and the ie5mac.css just sets the main content text to green to check if 
the filter is working, could someone confirm please.  The portfolio link 
works to test 'you are here' in the main navigation.

If you don't care about centering, you can just float the

I think color:#000; will produce a darker black 8-. (For those that do not
recognize the notation, it is simply shorthand for #00, just as #3cf is
shorthand for #33ccff.)

Hi css-d:

I'm bringing css to my work place, and they've liked it a lot, but we have a
problem.

We went to cssplay.co.uk for a dropdown menu and (as usual) in firefox works
great, but we have a problem with the position in the IE.

Take a look: http://www.utp.edu.co/egresados/index.php
test the drop-down menu in IE and see what i mean.

any ideas in how can I fix this?

Thanks a lot!

It's totally unclear with its black and gray theme where black should be
that it isn't. Other than the absence of specified background color
everywhere, the overall color scheme seem rational enough.

OTOH, it seems incongruous to find all the front and center content text
smaller than all the text that surrounds it.

 These are nested DLs. (I'm using DLs because there is a possibility of

 As far as I can see the code for the two sections is identical yet the
 first has additional white space above the inner DL. Why?
 

 Hi, Rick,

 Because each div within the lists have clear:both, they are clearing
 the left navigation.

 The reason this is happening is that clearing impacts everything
 within the same block formatting context.[1] So as long as the stuff
 inside content area is in the same context as the floated element, the
 float will be impacted by any clearing done there.[2]
   

Rick,

I just wrote a free article for Community MX that covers the block 
formatting context:

Re: [css-d] Border strip on leftnav

 I have a leftnav with dark blue background and a 9px lighter blue

 the top, menu area below it, and a fade below that.

 I keep running into problems with white space appearing as I change
 font size in my browser. I suspect I'm going about designing it wrong.
 Here's how I'm doing it now.
   
snip

I actually don't see any white gaps appearing, but I do agree that it 
could be done a lot more cleanly. Here's how I would do it:

Take a div, give it the id #nav (or some other name more meaningful than 
the current leftbox), and place the image of the logo (just the logo, 
no light blue strip) and the ul inside. Float #nav left. Slice an image 
that contains the full dark blue width and light blue strip and apply 
this as a background to #nav, set to repeat-y. Slice another image that 
contains the bottom fade image. Apply this as a background image to the 
ul inside #nav, no-repeat, positioned to the bottom. Give the ul enough 
bottom padding so that its content doesn't overlap the fade image.

Done. No nested divs, simple CSS, degrades well in non-CSS and non-image 
browsers.

Re: [css-d] can't get my text to wrap!

2006-07-07 Thread Zoe M. Gillenwater
Melissa Carraway wrote:
 I'm developing a site using templates in Dreamweaver. Right now I have an 
 optional area that is enclosed in a DIV tag. I want the non optional content 
 text to wrap around the optional DIV if the DIV is present, and if it's not, 
 I want the copy to just take up the space. Hence the wrap. (the optional div 
 is of a fixed size with an image and text).

 Here is what the style sheet looks like for the two elements:

 #ndc-sub-06 {
   position:absolute;
   left:511px;
   top:120px;
   width:216px;
   height:298px;
   background-color: #cc;
 }
 #content {
   position:absolute;
   left:91px;
   top:120px;
   width:80%;
   height:298px;
   
 }
 where #ndc-sub-06 is the optional block. 
 Does it matter that the optional block is placed absolutely? I tried floating 
 it, and all that happened was that the copy showed up OVER the block instead 
 of under it. 
   

Hi Melissa,

Absolute positioning is not a good way to lay out a site. It's ok for 
occasionally placing small elements within constrained areas, but not 
for layout overall. I'm guessing that you've relied on Dreamweaver to 
write your CSS for you, at least to some degree. This will result in 
very inflexible and potentially inaccessible layouts.

I would encourage you to learn about how floats work and adopt them as 
your layout method, writing CSS by hand. Floats would solve your current 
problem: simply float the optional div. If it is there, the adjacent 
content will move out of the way and wrap around it. If it is not there, 
the remaining content will just take up all the room it can. This didn't 
work on your page because you absolutely positioned the remaining 
content. When you do this, it acts as though nothing else exists and 
stubbornly sticks to the same spot on the page no matter what. That's 
what makes it so awful for layout.

Can we see your current page? I'm sure there are lots of things we could 
help you improve on your page so it works better for you.

Re: [css-d] floated div problem in IE

2006-07-07 Thread Bob Mason

looks like you have:

margin-left: 20px;

assigned to #sideBar... I seem to remeber reading that IE will double the 
margin unless you add display:inline; - (google ie double margin for 
details)


alternatively you could assign one value for ie and then follow with the 
hack

bodyhtml #sidebar { margin-left: 20px; }

for firefox since ie will ignore this...

hope this helps...

[css-d] What can I do about inconsistent spacing across browswers?

2006-07-07 Thread Dova Wilson
I understand that pixel perfect results across browsers are not
realistic, but what can I do to improve this at least a little? 
 
See http://209.211.255.131/newsite/testjuly7.html. The CSS code is at
http://209.211.255.131/newsite/testjuly7.css. 
 
The spacing in IE6 is much more generous than any other browsers I've
tested, including NN6, NN7, and Firefox. In IE6 there is more space than
I'd like between the quick links/search area at the top and the
logo/header and between news and sidebar items. In NN6, NN7 and Firefox
I feel like the spacing is too tight and want to add some padding. 
 
Suggestions on how to add space in those tight browsers without
getting even more space in IE6? 

Thanks in advance for the help.

[css-d] Horizontal clickables thumbnails Scroller : problem under SAFARI

2006-07-07 Thread Jean-François NAUD



hi,

 What I want to achieve : a video gallery. Videos would be presented
as an horizontal thumbnails list scoller. When you click on a thumb, a
video displays.

 Because I id not how to achieve that , I serahced on the web and
found a script : a horiontal rectangle where X clickable (=
hyperlinkled ?) thumbs display (link a on tag img), and where
the others are hidden (around 10). Next and previous buttons, when
they are clicked, makke the thumbs move : the one that where hidden,
now display, the others are hidden under one of the DIVs.

 Thumbs are in a DIV which is on overflow:hidden. This DIV don't grow
up when its content does : I have a frma e(or iframe) efect whithout
any iframe.

 Under FF/Win and MacOS and under IE/Win, it's OK (I don't test under
IE/Mactoo bad browser). Bit it does not under Safari...

 Under Safari :
 what works : some thumbs are displaied in the DIV container which
is on overflow:hidden, the others don't : that is correct !
 what does not properly work : the hyperlinks on the thumbs that don't
display are still active and clickable although the images they are
attached to, don't display, and that on the left of the DIV, and on
its right..?!? +, those links seem to take over the effect of
the hyperlinks that are on my Next and Previous buttons, that is to
say when I click on one of thoses 2 btns, I active the display of a
video instead of moving the thumbs in the DIV..??!?? I tried to
put a z-index:9; on my buttons, but the result is still
the same

 My analysis (which may wrong...) : using overflow:hidden with Safari,
Safari seems to be able to hide cointent when it is just texte or
images, but not when it is links on images...am I right ?

 Questions :
 - is that a bug ? If yes, does a specific Safari hack exist for that ?
 - instead, is there a way to make the wanted effect happen in Safari
and the other browsers I use (FF and IE/win + FF/mac) ?


 Here is the page I worked on :
 http://plume.fuzzmedia.com/plume/live/live.php

 If someone have an idea, please help !!! If not, I'll be obliged
to use iframes.

 ps : France is back !!!

Thanks, Zoe, I'll give it a try. I've managed to fix most of what was
wrong, but only by fiddling rather than restructuring. I sort of have to
put this to bed, but once I've got the docs done, I'll take a run at
restructuring. That's what I really want anyway -- no kludges, no hacks.

[css-d] www.gamespot.com

2006-07-07 Thread michelle m
hey, group.  i recently asked a question about a shadow effect, but
i'm still a little confused about how to create it.  i really like the
effect on the sides of the content area on the gamespot.com website.
could anyone explain to me how to create something similar?  is there
a way to create the effect without using tables and with coding (both
css and xhtml) that would validate?  i would really appreciate any
help.

thanks a lot in advance.

michelle

 Well, I suppose you could just let the software do its thing 
 without intervention :-) ?
 http://www.chelseacreekstudio.com/ca/cssd/layout04.html

I could, but that's not what we want to happen. So that's not a viable
solution.

(and thanks for fixing the 'no subject'...me = embarrassed ;o)

 Why not apply that fix to IE only and spare Firefox?  You could do:

Because...uh...umm...well...that's a good point. ;o)

[css-d] stupid question regarding background position: fixed and IE6

2006-07-07 Thread Paul Seale
I have been working on a site recently and I decided to make the background
fixed.

Well, I assigned the background fixed attribute and it works great with Fire
Fox but not with IE6. Does IE 6 not support this attribute?

Thanks in advance.

Paul

 Nope, maybe in IE7

Re: [css-d] What can I do about inconsistent spacing across browswers?

2006-07-07 Thread Michael Landis

 I understand that pixel perfect results across browsers are not
 realistic, but what can I do to improve this at least a little?

 See http://209.211.255.131/newsite/testjuly7.html. The CSS code is at
 http://209.211.255.131/newsite/testjuly7.css.

 The spacing in IE6 is much more generous than any other browsers I've
 tested, including NN6, NN7, and Firefox. In IE6 there is more space than
 I'd like between the quick links/search area at the top and the
 logo/header and between news and sidebar items. In NN6, NN7 and Firefox
 I feel like the spacing is too tight and want to add some padding.

 Suggestions on how to add space in those tight browsers without
 getting even more space in IE6?

Hi, Dova,

Welcome to the world of inline formatting contexts! Basically, you're
running into several rules -- and interesting interpretations of those
rules -- that impact:

* what the top of a float aligns to [1]
* how inline elements work [2]
* how floats are supposed to expand beyond their container[3] and don't in IE[4]

It's a lot to swallow in one gulp. For the case you have here, though,
it is probably easier to forgo floats altogether and position the
search box absolutely on the right edge of the content area. I've done
this as a sample at
http://www.michael4css.info/examples/gwu/testjuly7.html.

HTH,

Michael

[1] http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/visuren.html#float-position, rules 4 through 6
[2] http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/visuren.html#inline-formatting
[3] http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/visuren.html#floats
[4] When you add a dimension to an element containing a float, the
element will incorrectly wrap around the float in IE. This is probably
the reason you are seeing excess spacing in IE.

IIRC yes, it does, but only on the body element.
