[css-d] decapitated picture

Well, good ol' IE6 does it again. On this page, the top left pic is  
chopped in half. Don't know why.

HTML validates. CSS sort of does, if you don't mind the IE hacks. I  
know, they're everywhere, but I'm not paid to rewrite the entire site  
or page. Just add more stuff to the mess that's already there.

Here's the site: http://www.lorettosedgwick.org/pages/aboutus.html

Thanks in Advance,

the margin-top:-3em; in the content is the culprit

[css-d] Popup CSS Help Please

2007-04-09 Thread Richard Brown
Hi

On this page I am trying to use a popup to display the lower words.
http://www.lostwithiel.eu/calendar
http://www.lostwithiel.eu/wp-content/themes/brownsite/style.css

The relevant html is:
span class=calnk nowrap=nowrapaRiver ChurchspanTime:
10:30br /br /Come and worship God/span/a/span
The css attached is this:
.calnk a { text-decoration: none; }
.calnk a:hover { font-size: 99%; }
.calnk span.link { position: relative; }
.calnk span.link a span { display: none; }
.calnk span.link a:hover span {
color: #33;
display: block;
position: relative;
margin-top: 10px;
width: 290px;
z-index: 100;
}

As you can see from the page that there is some reaction to what I
have done but not what I expected. What I wanted was for the text to
pop up but currently it is on permanent display. Any ideas how I
achieve a pop-up effect please?

Many thanks.

Re: [css-d] What's wrong with my line-height calculations?

2007-04-09 Thread Jukka K. Korpela
On Sun, 8 Apr 2007, Chris Hoffman wrote:

 I've been playing with overlapping text and line-height is causing me
 some confusion.

This seems to be a rather confusing topic.

  p span {
background-color: #ccc; /* make the lines visible */
  }

I used black background for body and white background for span. I think 
this makes the line boxes even more visible.

  p {
font-size: 12px;
line-height: 14px;
  }

I get no gap between lines on IE 7 or Firefox 2 for most fonts.
There is a gap if I use Courier, though.

Using different larger values for line-height results in larger gap, 
instead of making the line boxes (the rectangles with the specified 
background color) taller.

What puzzles me, from the perspective of the specifications, is that as 
far as I can see, line-height inherits to inner elements and should set 
the minimum height for them. It's intuitively (from a typographic 
perspective) more natural that an increased line-height value results in 
added leading, not in increased line box height. I guess this is what CSS 
specs are meant to say but they seem to say the opposite.

 As I understand it, the text box (inline box?) -- to which the
 background-color applies -- should be 12 pixels high.

That seems to be how browsers generally ínterpret the situation, and 
probably the intended behavior. From the wording of the specs, I get a 
different view, but let's ignore it.

 The difference
 between that and the line-height (14 - 12 = 2 pixels) should then be
 divided in half, and half added to the top of the inline box and half
 to the bottom. Then the lines should be stacked in the paragraph.

Yes, and such things normally happen. But the actual behavior seems to 
depend on the font family in use. For example, testing with Lucida Sans 
Unicode, I don't get a gap even for line-height: 16px. There's probably 
variation across platforms too (I'm using Windows XP), since this may 
relate to errors and inaccuracies in computations, and unless I'm missing 
something, Windows internally expresses font sizes in points, resulting in 
some inevitable rounding errors when other units are used to declare 
font-size.

I'm not sure what constructive conclusions we can draw. I guess it depends 
on why you set line-height.

The issue I'm having is that I am trying to get a left and right-side

under 800px), but for some reason the footer clips when collapsed.

Also, I cannot get the APPex icon to float:right; correctly.

Here is the link to what I currently have in-place: http://

I am pulling my hair out at this point trying to figure the problem  
out, and it is not easily found via a Google search.

Could someone lend me a hand and shoot me some ideas on fixing this

[css-d] Weird Firefox/mozilla refreshing and jumping issue

2007-04-09 Thread Craig Givens
Hello -

I'm running into a strange Firefox bug which I can't figure out, and
hoped a CSS guru out there could tell me what's wrong.

Here are screencaps of the problem. This is running on FF 1.5-2.0 Windows:
http://www.geocities.com/craiggivens01/screen.jpg
http://www.geocities.com/craiggivens01/screen2.jpg

That left column div (called leftColumn-home and leftColumn in the
css) sometimes renders way down below the fold when Firefox loads the
page -- leaving all that white space gap in between. When I hit
refresh on the browser, it sometimes gets cleared up and jumps back up
into place. Other times it reverts back down. This doesn't happen in
IE -- only Firefox and Mozilla.

I figured this has something to do with the way the float is set for
that div, but who knows what it could be given the crazy markup order
of the page (which was necessary to preserve the design).

Here are my 2 template pages below. From the index page, click on the
left orange blocks which say Click this Title to see the same effect
on the subsequent page.

http://www.geocities.com/craiggivens01/index.html
http://www.geocities.com/craiggivens01/page2.html

It usually happens on a first load of the page. If not, Hit the back
button from page2.html and try clicking on the link once more to get
the page to re-load.

Any advice you can offer on fixing this or any other helpful tips in
tightening the CSS is much APPRECIATED!

- Craig

[css-d] Scrollbar In Firefox adjusting layout.

2007-04-09 Thread Johnny G's
When the page requires a scrollbar firefox pushes the contents of the window
over.

There was a post a few issues back that suggest this:

html {
height: 100%;
margin-bottom: 1px;
}

this does work, but it permanently adds a scrollbar that scrolls 1px to all
pages regardless if the contents fit the height of the window.

Is it just me that gets a scrollbar that scrolls 1px?

Is there a way to have no scrollbar when not needed yet the layout not be
adjusted when Firefox adds one?

Hi -

http://home.bellsouth.net/p/PWP-dzine

I'm trying to get the body text not to bleed over the footer and

linked from that homepage.

I've tried this code:

contents {
width:970px;
background:#ff;
display: table;
min-height:500px;
height:auto !important;
height:500px;
}

but that didn't seem to work well.

thanks for any help!

For the screen Windows internally expresses font sizes in pixels.

The CreateFont function creates a logical font with the specified

font for any device. The height of the font (nHeight) specifies the 
height, in logical units, of the font's character cell or character.

A logical font is the specification of the font one actually wants. The 
device here is the screen and the logical units for a screen are pixels.

For the CreateFont GDI function:
If the value of nHeight is, say, 20 then one is requesting a font height 
of 20 pixels.
If the value of nHeight is -20 then one is requesting a font size of 20 
pixels.

Hi John,
The #globalContainer is 825px wide, so it is greater than the intended page 
width 760px.
The diference 825 - 760 = 65px is causing your main content to be shoved to 
the right.
Assigning #globalContainer { width: 760px; ...} will  fix.

Looks ok in Firefox and IE 6  7.  Your design is a little unusual, but 
hey, it works!  Some of the folks on this list might be tempted to use

So you've got some columns where every cell represents instance of the
same day of the week, and you have some rows where every cell presents
a day in a particular week ... and you didn't use a table?

And if you turn of style sheets (remembering that documents should be
usable without CSS being available) you get:

 Each page validates XHTML 1.0 Strict (except for a two legacy pages

Actually, I get an unexpected end of XML source error on line 34 in

 There are several outstanding issues that I know about, and don't yet

 In IE 6, the drop down menu, the entire box for the first entry is  
 clickable, yet the subsequent boxes only the text link is hot. Also  
 in IE 6, there is a 1 pixel white line that appears on the right of  
 the header graphic when the window is resized to some, but not all,  
 widths. And finally, I'd like to be able to center the entire nav bar  
 inside its container div, but am not sure how to make that work.

 Thank you!
 Bob

   

I think you have to surround the text in the anchors with a span to make 
the entire box clickable in ie.  Do a Google search on ie clickable 
region fix and you will get a bunch of links to various solutions.  
There's even been some discussion about this on the list, no surprise there.

Centering block level elements is accomplished by setting the left and 
right margins to auto.  You may have to create another nested division 
in the nav bar to do that.  This doesn't work in IE 6, but you can 
usually accomplish the same thing by doing text-align: center for IE.  
You might want to fix up a few of these issues and then post another 
question for any specific problems that still remain.  I think you 
message may have been lost a bit.  Posting a question to a specific

First it looks very nice!
Second, it shows why you don't use overly descriptive terms for the 
classes and id's.  Every day is classed Sunday.  It makes no real 
difference, but still.

Third, if you don't expect people to have styles off I suppose ... then 
do you worry about it?
I think you may do well to experiment with the use of unordered lists or 
maybe even definition lists which may help with the issue that is

can be done.

I presume you are dynamically going to generate this in the end?

This is a known problem in FF.  Another solution is to set the height on 
the html element to 101% - then you don't need the bottom margin.  
However you still wind up with a scrollbar that scrolls nowhere :-)

I think your only other option is to let the content flow to the width 
of the browser window.

You are declaring display:table on #contents.

div#contents contains #topicheader, #rightColumn, #leftColumn.

We've seen similar issues related to display:table in Fx [1]. An element 
coming too late, depending on the connection, will land in a next 
generated anonymous table-row.

The reason you are using display:table is most probably because of the 
containment of floats in this new block formatting context.

I'd try another float containing method. Please report back if it fixes 
the problem.

Thanks for the feedback. I've gotten so wrapped up in trying to learn
table-less design that I guess the obvious appropriateness to the use of
tables in this instance escaped me.

I think it would be best just to use a table for my calendars, but it's been
good practice anyway.

First it looks very nice!
Second, it shows why you don't use overly descriptive terms for the 
classes and id's.  Every day is classed Sunday.  It makes no real 
difference, but still.

Third, if you don't expect people to have styles off I suppose ... then 
do you worry about it?
I think you may do well to experiment with the use of unordered lists or 
maybe even definition lists which may help with the issue that is 
mentioned there.  I haven't thought about it at length, but I think it 
can be done.

I presume you are dynamically going to generate this in the end?

Yes - Inaccessible websites have legal implications in many
jurisdictions, and users don't always do what you expect.

 I think you may do well to experiment with the use of unordered lists or

This wouldn't allow you to relate a day to a week or a day of the
week, and if it was a list, then order would be relevant.

 maybe even definition lists which may help with the issue that is
 mentioned there.

You aren't defining terms, and definition lists don't describe a two
dimensional relationship.

 Add 'position: relative' to the image in question, to fix IE6'

 Good for you that you don't have to fix anything else :-)

Ian and Georg, Thank you TONS for your assistance! Of course it  
worked. Have a great day!

Re: [css-d] Weird Firefox/mozilla refreshing and jumping issue

2007-04-09 Thread Craig Givens
Hi Ingo - Thanks for responding.

display:table is the only method that works. Using anything else for
#contents will cause the #rightColumn to appear underneath the
#contents div or render otherwise incorrectly

That #rightColumn is tricky -- it needs to stay within #contents but
with a negative margin so that it overlaps and floats on top to the
right. We wanted #rightColumn placed where it is in the markup for the
screen reading order (Accessibility/) as well as keeping with the
vision from the designer.

I've been racking my brain for weeks trying to figure this one out,
but no luck so far. If you have any other advice or hacks/tricks --
I'm all ears.

- Craig

  http://www.geocities.com/craiggivens01/screen2.jpg
 
  That left column div (called leftColumn-home and leftColumn in the
  css) sometimes renders way down below the fold when Firefox loads the
  page -- leaving all that white space gap in between. When I hit
  refresh on the browser, it sometimes gets cleared up and jumps back up
  into place. Other times it reverts back down. This doesn't happen in
  IE -- only Firefox and Mozilla.
 
  I figured this has something to do with the way the float is set for
  that div, but who knows what it could be given the crazy markup order
  of the page (which was necessary to preserve the design).
 
  Here are my 2 template pages below. From the index page, click on the
  left orange blocks which say Click this Title to see the same effect
  on the subsequent page.
 
  http://www.geocities.com/craiggivens01/index.html
  http://www.geocities.com/craiggivens01/page2.html
 
  It usually happens on a first load of the page. If not, Hit the back
  button from page2.html and try clicking on the link once more to get
  the page to re-load.  ...


 You are declaring display:table on #contents.

 div#contents contains #topicheader, #rightColumn, #leftColumn.

 We've seen similar issues related to display:table in Fx [1]. An element
 coming too late, depending on the connection, will land in a next
 generated anonymous table-row.

 The reason you are using display:table is most probably because of the
 containment of floats in this new block formatting context.

 I'd try another float containing method. Please report back if it fixes
 the problem.

Not so.

It's the mix of absolute positioned and floating elements inside
#contents that is causing most problems now.
No absolute positioning should be used there, and the floats will
contain floats behavior will solve the rest.

Replace the styles you have - *all of them* - for the two elements in
question, with the following...

#contents {
background:#fff;
float: left;
width: 100%;
}

#leftColumn-home {
margin-left: 5px;
float:left;
display: inline /* fix IE6 bug */
}

...and the containment and alignment problems will be solved across
browser-land.
