Re: [css-d] Navigation button spacing

 The navigation buttons on my website (http://www.nycss.org) are

  in IE6 on http://www.nycss.org/join.html, they're spaced further 
 apart than on the other pages (example: 
 http://www.nycss.org/index.html). Why?

Some of your pages are triggering standard mode, while some leave the
browsers in quirks mode (the old rendering modes from before any
standards existed). Plenty of differences between those rendering modes,
and there are a number of quirks modes.

Solution: put an identical *and* complete doctype declaration in your
pages. That is: trigger standard mode across browser-land.
That will even out most variations. I'll recommend HTML 4.01 Strict.

Ref:
http://gutfeldt.ch/matthias/articles/doctypeswitch/table.html
http://www.w3.org/QA/2002/04/valid-dtd-list.html

Also, try to write the source-code in accordance with the chosen
standard, as results like these...
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http://www.nycss.org/
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http://www.nycss.org/join.html
...makes the whole thing a gamble in error-recovery across browser-land.

 Also, in Firefox 2.0, they're spaced further apart on all the pages 
 than in IE. How do I get them closer together in Firefox?

You're relying on font-size/line-height and fix-sized backgrounds, which
is not a reliable solution when it comes to consistent spacing and look.

Be that as it may; you'll get better results once the doctype-issue is
fixed.

 And finally, one more Firefox issue: on 
 http://www.nycss.org/links.html, I want the list items in the table 
 (id=linkstable) to line up with the heading rather than being 
 indented. I've managed to make these lists look the way I want in IE,
  but not in Firefox.

Firefox has default paddings on lists while IE use margins, so you
should add...
#linkstable ul {padding: 0;}
...to get the result you want.

Re: [css-d] The clip property - what's the logic behind it?

2006-12-21 Thread francky
Rafael Holt wrote:

 Hi all,

 I've been playing with clip recently and it seems to me the spec is a bit
 counter-intuitive. It is particularly irritating if you are clipping
 non-fixed width elements because if you don't want it to be clipped on 
 the
 right, you have to specify its width for that value. Surely it would 
 be more
 logical for each value to represent how much is clipped from that edge of
 the rectangle? For example:

 clip:rect(10px 100px 80px 20px);

 If the element to be clipped is 100px x 80px, this will cause it to be
 clipped to an area 70px x 80px, where it is clipped 10px at the top 
 and 20px
 on the left. This is fine, but why should it be necessary to specify 
 100px
 for the right and 80px for the bottom? It seems to me it would be more
 sensible for these values to be 0 to achieve this effect. It's easier 
 to get
 your head around.

 Also, why is it that it applies only to absolutely positioned 
 elements? Why
 not relatively positioned ones?

 Cheers,
 Rafael

Hi Raphael,
According to the css2.1 specs 
http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/visufx.html#propdef-clip
... a clipped element is *not* removing certain parts of the element by 
shrinking the margins, but is a porthole to a *defined area* of the 
element (mostly: image) which has to be shown. It is a bit confusing 
because it is a completely other way of thinking! :-)

   * See examples over here
 
http://home.tiscali.nl/developerscorner/imaging/clipping-images-with-css-a.htm
 


I guess it is done this way because of if shrinking of a margin is 
needed, it can be done by placing the element in a container of a given 
width and height (determining the visual area) and a given negative 
margin-top and margin-left to shift the inside image to the right place. 
- This can be done with relative positioned containers too.For IE I 
think it will be needed to set the overflow to hidden, because of the IE 
exaggerating habits.

Second way to accomplish the same, is to put the img as background image 
in a container (giving the needed area), with background positioning to 
get it in place.
Third way could be to make an iframe, and put the (shifted) image in a 
separate html file.
And maybe the easiest way: make a new image just in the right 
proportions by cutting what is not needed. ;-)

The absolute positioning will be a condition to define the starting 
point (0,0) from which the area is computed. Maybe a surrounding 
container with relative position can help to place the clipped thing on 
the right place in the layout.

If in a clipped element there is no clip wanted in a certain direction, 
the specs say a value of auto can be used (not: zero).

To make a clipped element in relative units, I discovered that this is 
not cross browser consistent. IE doesn't recognize a % unit (showing the 
complete image). If you do it with em's, the position is shifting (and 
the area is getting bigger or smaller)(try for the effect!) in IE and 
FF. On the contrary, Opera has it's own zoom mechanism, and does show no 
shift and no enlarged or smaller area, but just a scaled image inclusive 
the scaled clipped area.

And notice that IE(6) doesn't react on the modern way of writing:

rect(50px, 300px, 350px, 100px)

only on:

rect(50px 300px 350px 100px)

while the specs say that both ways are allowed.

Greetings,
francky

If you have a more specific question, we can see what we can do.

Yes, but em is based on inherited values, so it won't scale (in IE) if 
'fixed' values are inherited.

You have styles like these...
#mainContent {
font : normal 10pt Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif;
...
}
body {
...
font-size : 12px;
}
...which are 'fixed' values from IE's point of view - locking down all 
following font-sizes.


You should also look out for IE's em font-resizing bug when you 
correct those font-sizes...

 I think you're attacking the problem backwards. It is more reliable to
 absolute-position the image, and let the rest stay in the natural  
 flow.
 That way it'll self-adjust and take font-resizing quite well.

 There's generally too much absolute positioning of elements in that  
 page
 - which means *trouble* with text and resizing, but I have focused on
 the part you've requested help with.



Hi Gunlaug,
THanks for the tips. It took my brain a few runs at it to comprehend  
what you'd done, but I think I understand now. It makes sense too.  
I'll try to limit my abs. positioning in the future.


 Note that IE/win isn't allowed to resize text naturally when given  
 those
 'points', and the result of IE's 'ignore font sizes' isn't all that
 pleasing.


What I'm not understanding is why IE 6 doesn't scale the text. I  
don't see any pt size declarations. I'd thought em would allow scaling.

Isn't that possible with a wiki site? Or maybe I am missing what a
css site is where the client can upload their own text. Drupal and
the other CMS allow the same as far as I understand your question.

Re: [css-d] ? ? Site building with upload for text ? ?

2006-12-21 Thread Barney Carroll
Phil,


You may need to elaborate a bit on that question. This is a bit like 
those questions from that student researching 'how you describe metadata 
in css'... A terminology swamp (although after re-reading the 
introduction over about 5 times I worked out what he was getting at).

I don't think CSS has anything to do with what you're after. CSS works 
in conjunction with HTML, aka the interweb. You're looking for a Content 
Management System, or possibly one simpler in an in-built editing tool 
like Kupu [http://kupu.oscom.org/].

Without parsing filters, you may end up with inline styles and other 
things that may inhibit CSS which can be dealt with in their own way... 
But generally the ability to 'build css sites' depends almost entirely 
on whether or not you know css. The fact that content may change has 
nothing to do with it on a conceptual level.

Regards,
Barney

[css-d] Horizontal list menu misbehaves in IE 6

2006-12-21 Thread Mark Baber
Hi folks and friends !

I've been plugging at this bug for days ... hope someone has an idea.

In order to reproduce a client site, I've used ul li lists for the top 
navigation menu. There are special graphical images on the left AND right sides 
of the list items that must change when the anchor is hovered over. For that 
reason I added the spans in there, especially as without the spans, I can't get 
a li:hover background-image to show up.
(But that's another problem, which I don't have to deal with at the moment.) 
Let's just leave the spans in there for a moment.

Anyway, it all looks fine in FF 2.0, but things go strange in IE 6.

I have added a special color blue so that it's obvious what happens.
When you hover over the menu items in IE6, you can see that the 
background-color of the anchor is leaching over the top of that same anchor's 
background-image.
To the same width as the parent li.

I tried to track this down with FF Firebug, but of course that doesn't work in 
IE :) and I can't figure out why the blue bit extends over.

It's not the padding-bottom that's causing the error - I tried changing it and 
that does affect something else, but not this leaching problem.

The site is a subdomain:  http://spip.novado.ch/squelettes/pmcbox.html

Any and all ideas most appreciated.
Cheers,
Mark

I think the addition of...

IE6 also needs the addition of...
html {font-size: 100%;}
...to prevent the 'em font-resizing bug'...

It's those 'overflow: auto;' alright. Gecko tends to be a bit buggy when
those are used for containing floats.

You'll have better luck with...
#frame, #rightColumn {overflow: visible; display: table;}


BTW: have you considered creating source-code in accordance with the
doctype you're using? Or alternatively: change doctype to match the
source-code?
What you have there is definitely not XHTML 1.0 Transitional...
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http://www.learningpt.org/page.php?pageID=243
...and it would help immensely if the doctype and source-code matched.

Witout an URL, its hard to say what is the trick in your case.

 I have a problem with a page in IE. I presume it is a fouc-issue. I 
 hoped to resolve that problem by simply inserting an empty stylesheet,

 If you scroll down and refresh the page, you will see that the content 
 of the sidebar is displayed for a second or so. How could I prevent that?

In both ie/6 an ie/7, I see no flash of *unstyled* content. I tried 
this several times-- clearing the cache each time.
When scrolling down, and then re-loading, the page jumps to the top and 
simultaneously flashes the *styled* content. AFAIK, this is correct 
behavior.
FOUC is usually associated with the CSS @import rule, which you do not 
seem to be using.
But, I could be wrong-- maybe someone else can see unstyled content on 
reload?
Best,

A url to a page would help us debug this.  If you tried to put a  
style element anywhere but the head element, browsers (except ie)  
will ignore it because it is not valid to put style or link  
anywhere but in the head.  If I missed the point of the question, put  
up a test page and point us to it.

[css-d] Yet another IE6 to IE7 problem

2006-12-21 Thread Robert Paterson
Hello,
Recently I revised my CSS code in an attempt to fix a problem (of my own 
making, no doubt) with how a menu is displayed in IE7 ... in FF and IE6 the 
fly-out sub-menu items aligned properly with the relevant main menu item ... in 
IE7 the spacing if off slightly.  

The relevant code (the original filter for IE6 and the new one for IE7) is as 
follows (This code is held in a unique stylesheet for IE filters):

* html #sidebar ul li { float: left; height: 1%; }
* html #sidebar ul li a { height: 1%; }

*:first-child+html #sidebar ul li { min-height: 1px; }
*:first-child+html #sidebar ul li a { min-height: 1px; }


In my master stylesheet, the menu styling is as follows:

#sidebar { float: left; width: 150px; margin: 0; padding: 0; font-size: 85%; }
#sidebar ul { margin: 0; padding: 0; width: 150px; list-style: none; 
border-bottom: 1px solid #000; }
#sidebar ul li {  position: relative; }
#sidebar li ul { position: absolute; left: 149px; top: 0; display: none; }
#sidebar ul li a { 
 display: block;
 text-decoration: none;
 color: #000;
 background: #ffd;
 padding: 4px 4px 4px 6px;
 border-right: 1px solid #000;
 border-top: 1px solid #000;
 border-bottom: none;
 border-left: none;
}
#sidebar li.homePage a { border-top: none; }
#sidebar li.overflow a { border-left: 1px solid #000 }

The inspiration for this design came from an A List Apart although I can't 
recall the specifics.

The menu may be found at www.langleyunited.org.

Any help or advice will be much appreciated.  
Sincerely,
R.A. Paterson

[css-d] Site Check - Float Problem... Not Fixed by Overflow:Auto

2006-12-21 Thread Aaron Roberson
Please take a look at:
http://csufresno.edu/friendsforce/layout.php

In Firefox it looks good (except for the bottom right columns). In IE
6 the background on the #content-home div is not showing.

I tried overflow:auto on the content-home div which has two floating
divs nested inside it, but it has helped. I have had this problem
before and know there is a standard fix, but I can't remember what it
is or how to find it.

Thanks in advance,
Aaron
