 Before you go any further, consider the following...

 - Precise positioning of elements on top of a background-image by using
 em, is a flawed method - regardless of direction. Those elements are not
 anywhere near their intended position in any of my browsers, simply
 because their position - in em - rely on font-size.
 Font-size is not a factor you can control all that well.

 - Opera has a rounding-effect on large em margins and paddings. See...
 http://www.brunildo.org/test/emarg.pl

 - Firefox (2.0.0.1) offers no horizontal scroll, and I need at least a
 1450px wide window just to see the entire page.
 That's the effect of 'minimum font-size: 14px'.
 It's the same in other browsers, apart from that they give me a
 horizontal scroll-bar.

 - Height in em on those anchors means I see both horizontal and vertical
 repetition of background-images. Pretty confusing link-text, I think.
 Again: it's the effect of uncontrollable font-size.


 So, when you want to position anything precisely on top of a fix-sized
 background, you'll be better of by using a fix-sized unit for positions
 and dimensions - like px.

 Also: especially IE tends to be a bit unpredictable when all
 'top'/'left'/'right'/'bottom' values are left out and positioning rely
 on default-positions and margins.

fixed the em - px issue , but the problem with opera and FF is still there.
i know what the problem is - opera always calculates the position from 
the left, even if it's a rtl page.
FF calculates the position from the left on a regular page and from the 
right in an rtl page.
the question is which of them has the bug (if it's a bug) and can it be 
fixed in css ?

regarding IE - i always leave the css code breaking for the last in a 
separate file.

Yes, you're right, the main forum is definatly a table.

And what of the threads themselves? Two columns, no real headings or
complex data, that part of the forum is crying out to be an ol to

I think this markup is fairly appropriate, any thoughts?

I'm only after usability and a bit of logic, so a couple of my own
variations on top of Opera's built-in set of user styles and options
will do.

I do not spend time on creating site-specific user styles - ever. If a
site doesn't suit my taste, then again: I use Opera and strip the
visited site back to basics. If a site doesn't survive then either

 fixed the em - px issue , but the problem with opera and FF is still  
 there.
 i know what the problem is - opera always calculates the position from

 FF calculates the position from the left on a regular page and from the
 right in an rtl page.
 the question is which of them has the bug (if it's a bug) and can it be

It seems Opera does have a bug on absolutely positioned elements when  
directionality is rtl and also left and right being 'auto'. Anyway, the  
page looks good across browsers (Opera, Ffx2  IE7 atleast) with the  
following style.

#logo
{
 position:absolute;
 left:80px;
 top:5px;
}

If not for any other reasons, it would be better to specify left and top  
values for an absolutely positioned element and place it w.r.t. to its  
containing block.

Yes, it can be fixed in CSS, *if* you use proper *positions* as
starting-points for 'position: absolute'.
You're still positioning out of thin air with margins, which is not
how you should absolute position elements to go with a fix-sized
background.

In fact: I can not see any good reason for using 'margins' in
combination with 'position: absolute' at all in your case, as
'top:??px;' and 'left:??px;' will achieve pixel-perfect results for
absolute positioning across the entire browser-land - regardless of
dir=rtl vs. dir=ltr.

Example:
#logo
{
 position:absolute;
 /* margin:-80px 800px 0 0; */
 top: 10px;
 left: 100px;
}
...will position that logo in _exactly_ the same spot in _all_ browsers
that understands absolute positioning - which should cover all CSS1
capable ones. The margins are commented out - not in use, so you may as
well delete them before going on with similar positioning for the other
overlaid elements. Success is guaranteed.

 regarding IE - i always leave the css code breaking for the last in a
  separate file.

Fine, although I can't see any good reason for that either in this case,
as IE6 has just told me that there are 'collapsing margins' problems
in there, and they should be dealt with at an early stage if you want to
avoid covering up for designer-bugs instead of browser-bugs across
browser-land.
IE6' basic flaws and bugs can provide a lot of information about
design-weaknesses, although we cannot follow IE's lead when it comes to
solving them.

Add...
#header
{
 padding-top: 1px;
}
...to see the 'collapsing margin' from...
#nav
{
 margin: 10px;
 width: 90%;
}
...in Firefox and Opera too. That's the 10px top margin that IE6 is
preventing from collapsing onto body because of the infamous
'hasLayout'[1] bug - resulting in 10px offset for the #nav in IE6.
You'll have to decide how that margin shall be handled across
browser-land, but you can't affect how IE6 is handling it since you
can't get rid of the 'hasLayout' bug.


So, you're definitely not fighting browser-bugs here - apart from in
IE/win. You just need to apply proper positioning.

Georg

[...]I think you're being too paranoid. Javascript for presentation is one  
of the most unobtrusive things you can do with the language. And I  
hardly think the tiny bit of JS required even qualifies as bandwidth.

Unless you're talking about a specific solution. A quickie script (  
test case):
[...]
You get the gist. I don't even think that JS adds up to 1kb.  

Hi Parag,
Richard's script is giving as generated html:

div id=element
 ptest/p
 span class=corner topLeft/span
 span class=corner topRight/span
 span class=corner bottomLeft/span
 span class=corner bottomRight/span
/div

* See testpage
  
http://home.tiscali.nl/developerscorner/css-discuss/test-cornerscript.htm

So this script is working as a method to put the span's in the html, 
with an alternative css way for getting some smaller corner images on 
the right places (for painted borders some extra's are needed).

* Comparing: the script is about 12 lines of code, and adding the
  span's directly in the html is 4 lines of code.

I should say: no real advantage for the script, it's only delaying the 
download time (though not very much), and if javascript is turned off 
client side, the visitor doesn't see the corners.

- My interpretation of the question was using an image replacing 
javascript, which is drawing the corners (pixel by pixel) on the fly.

* Like the Nifty Cube javascript method
  http://www.html.it/articoli/niftycube/index.html

In that way, indeed quite some javascript exercitions are applied. In a 
quick view, the needed niftycube.js is about 9kB.

* Comparing: the combined top-foot image in my example is 2.4kB and
  the middle gif is 108bytes. If you combine them with other
  background images in the page, you can save the 2 http-requests to
  get them (and save the packet filling empty space), and use even
  less bandwith for downloading.

And for me the most important reason to use css + images (apart from the 
js not enabled problem): you have total freedom about what is 
displayed on screen (the shadowing etc. like you mentioned). :-)

As Tedd said already, a flexible width (self adapting to the surrounding 
box) is possible as well: no problem!
Some more liquid examples you can find in:

* Liquid Corners Playgarden
  
http://home.tiscali.nl/developerscorner/liquidcorners/liquid-corners-playgarden-index.htm
* Liquid Corners (and Borders) article
  http://home.tiscali.nl/developerscorner/liquidcorners/liquidcorners.htm
* The Gap Safe Alternative
  
http://home.tiscali.nl/developerscorner/liquidcorners/liquidcorners-gapsaver.htm

I should go for the css + images method! [You guessed this already, I 
suppose ;-)  ]

Succes and greetings,

Hi Richard,
You're right too. For heavy cornering pages [1] a javascript to 
implement the span's or div's can be easy for writing the code, and can 
save markup-lines.
On the other hand, if there are elements with slightly different 
corners/borders, the script has to be extended, while with the extra 
html-lines it's just the use of an other class to get (or easy change) 
the used images/borders. But also that is possible by script.

If we make a function of the amount of coding characters for the script 
and for the markup way in a special case (in relation to the download 
time of each), somewhere will be the break even point, and we can make 
the decision depending on what side of the graphic we are. :-)

- And indeed, the usability isn't hurt by disabling js.
So I think it's up to the developer's (or client's) taste what is 
wanted: a site which is always the same looking, script or noscript or 
not.

Oh, I almost forgot the alternative of serverside scripting. [2] If for 
instance php is possible, then in the html some php-includes can replace 
the repeating lines. Then the javascipt disabled problem isn't 
occurring, and the 40 markup lines only have to be 10 lines. Can be done 
by shtml too, I think.

Greetings  a good 2007!

[1]
Or for adding corners to an existing page, without changing the html.

[2]
The download speed will be the same as the complete html way, but the 
html code of the page is cleaner.

I am not absolutely certain what you regard as wrong...
...but...

I see the first list is going to be a navigation list? (id=navlist)?

You have opened the UL tag twice with a different class in each.

Instead: give the UL the id=navlist:

ul id=navlist

and create a style for that:

#navlist li{
etc:whatever;
}

Then leave other lists as the default adn style them as:

ul{
etc:whatever;
}

Does that help?

Welcome.  I hope you enjoy the list as much as I have.

 On a webpage I want to have a piece of text with in between a few  
 lists. Now, with my current design and stylesheet make-up, I have  
 the lists with items floating between the text.
I'm not sure I understand the question.  However, I have a few  
general suggestions.

The first step should be to write valid markup.  The page is missing  
some starting and ending tags.  When browsers have to guess at where  
elements start and end, they each do it differently.  This causes a  
lot of frustration for you.

Second, the link to the stylesheet is incorrect, so we are seeing the  
page without any style applied.  When I fix the link element I see  
that the paragraphs and lists are overlapping.  This is caused by  
setting the height on the p element.  Remove that and the overlap  
will stop.

Third, validate the css also.  You have some font names that need to  
be in quotes (because they have spaces in their name).  While you are  
there, try setting your font-sizes in percent or ems.  That way  
readers with low vision can easily increase the text size of your  
site so they can more comfortably read it.

I cleaned up/validated the html and got something like this.

That depends on where you see them and why they are there. If you see
them in Firefox, they are probably the result of the rule set

  /* titles */
  abbr[title], acronym[title] {
border-bottom: dotted 1px;
  }

in the `html.css` file of your Firefox installation. You should then
be able to set border-bottom for these elements to some different
value using a similar rule set in your style sheet.

[css-d] IE6: content-div is pushed to bottom

2006-12-28 Thread Martin Krumme
Please look at http://www.nees.uni-bonn.de/2007/test1.html

In IE6 the content-div is pushed to bottom if the window is narrowed to 
about 700px. Is there a way to prevent this without using a 
Javascript-solution?

Regards

Martin

If you need a reference of semantic markup for a forum, take a look at
PunBB (http://forums.punbb.org/)- they pretty much use valid, semantic

The dotted line is simply a border. To get rid of it:

abbr {
   border-bottom: 0;
}

Re: [css-d] What is a simple alternative to JS+CSS rounded corners

2006-12-28 Thread Jon Stockdill
Doesn't use images or JS:
http://www.spiffycorners.com/sc.php?sc=spiffybg=fffg=0a67e6

Uses images, but no JS:

Please let me know if these work out for you.  I considered them, but
eventually choose Nifty.

 Thank you for your replies.

 Yes, i was talking about NiftyCorners with sytanx that i briefly saw
 looked like this:
 Rounded(div.box_3_1_T,top,transparent,#8BBDF7);
 Rounded(div.box_3_1_T,bottom,transparent,#CFE2F8);
 Rounded(div.box_3_2_T,top,transparent,#4799E6);
 Rounded(div.box_3_2_T,bottom,transparent,#B6D7F7);
 Rounded(div.box_3_3_T,top,transparent,#306799);
 Rounded(div.box_3_3_T,bottom,transparent,#7EB2E1);

 I want to avoid that.

 The following is what I have implemented with my method:
 http://test.un-identified.com/misc_images/roundedCorners.html

 I want to come up with something like that, but i dont believe a JS
 solution will give me such shadowed borders...point me in the right
 direction if there is such a method which uses images!

 See how I have freedom with images and shadows in phtosohop, and I am
 limited only by the fact that the width must be fixed?

   3rd party (no JS to worry about). There are only DIV layers and CSS
   classes that are already defined, so no JS is involved in
   presentation.
   Another benefit is that I can give the boxes any type of shadowing and

  When I came across this problem I thought, just look at what the
  javascript does, and use that directly: it manipulates the DOM and
  inserts spans and divs, as far as I remember. These have classes which
  produce the appearance of rounded corners.
 
  I don't know how this would compare to what you have assembled.
 
  In general, I don't think it is wise to let the page appear
  differently when javascript is turned off.
 
  If you are generating the page with PHP, or Rails, or Java, etc. a
  helper method could do the rounding on the server side, instead of
  the browser.

It's a bit difficult guessing what is your current design and

you say which page it is, or can you upload a testpage?
