Re: [css-d] changes in W3C validator?

 Has anyone noticed that the W3C's CSS validator is now parsing style

Hasn't it always done that? (In HTML documents where they are supposed

comments, or CSS files where they are syntax errors).

Do you have test cases?

 I haven't seen any mention of it, so I'm wondering if
 they just kind of snuck a new version in

New versions tend to get announced. Its possible that something was
upgraded on the server, but since the CSS validator is all Java, its
not as likely as if this was the Markup Validator.

, or if I missed something obvious. I know they were working on a
 new XHTML parsing engine, but it didn't sound like Jigsaw was included in 
 that...

The Markup Valdiator does have a new XML parser (
http://validator-test.w3.org/ ) to try it out.

Jigsaw is, IIRC, the HTTPD / Servelet container that the CSS Validator
runs under and I haven't heard about any changes to either of late.

Re: [css-d] I'd like to create a splash page?

2007-05-15 Thread Brian Crescimanno
I'd like to tell you this is impossible as (for many reasons) splash
pages are overall a bad idea.  A couple of references:

http://webdesign.about.com/od/navigation/a/aa020303a.htm
http://www.websiteoptimization.com/speed/tweak/splash/

(just happened to come up at the top of Google searches, I'm sure
there are even better resources out there).

However, as I understand that there are clients out there who demand
this sort of thing no matter how much we as designers and developers
try to talk them out of it, I will say that the solution will rely in
javascript which (I'm not sure as I'm new today) would be outside the
scope of this mailing list discussion.  I will say that you should
look into the code for Lightbox as I'm sure it's layer technique could
be easily adapted to create a splash page effect.

From http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms530751.aspx

In Internet Explorer 4.0, the block, inline, and list-item values are
not supported explicitly, but do render the element.

I think that means no... but most developers appear to have dropped
support for IE 5.0, and many have dropped IE 5.5. I'm very surprised
anyone is still trying to support IE 4, which has been unsupported by
Microsoft for a very long time.

For me I know that if you're using positioning you're essentially 
telling the browser: Yes, I know this doesn't normally go here but just 
trust me! And so I know it is probably going to be prone to various 
rendering bugs so I usually make sure everything is displaying 
properly and try using position: relative when it is not because it is 
usually due to the way a positioned element is contained (ie: logic 
error) rather than an error in implementation.

Re: [css-d] Inline Lists in IE4 - possible?

2007-05-15 Thread Peter-Paul Koch
 I've been lurking for a little while and I'm pleased to present my first
 question :-)

 This may be common knowledge, but is it impossible to render a list as
 inline in IE 4.0 (Win, for the sake of this argument)? I cannot get 'float'
 or 'display' to work.

 This is for the purposes of a horizontal navigation bar.

Off the top of my head:

1) IE4 has bad support for the display declaration.
2) IE4 supports width on only a few elements, and I'm not sure if LI
is one of them. Without a defined width float-based solutions won't
work because the element will float, but will also take 100% width (or
the width of its inner text).

I think you should drop the ul/li-approach and instead place every
link in a div and float that div and give it a width. That should work
(I think).

I'm not sure I'm understanding--do you want to hide:

1) an input type=text?
2) a textarea?
3) The scrollbar from a textarea?

For 1 and 2, you can simply use display: none to prevent them from
displaying.  For #3, I'm not sure if there is a way to not display the
scrollbar in a textarea.  Someone else will have to comment.

Del, 

You can use input#id { display:none; } to completely hide the text box. Or
(at the risk of suggesting a non-CSS solution), change the type to HIDDEN
and it won't display, but the form will still contain the input.

input type=text name=someinput id=someinput value=Text you need to
keep, but do not want to show becomes input type=hidden
name=someinput id=someinput value=Text you need to keep, but do not
want to show and all is well.


 Thanks for any help.

Hope this qualifies!

That sounds like a hopeless task, and I wonder _why_ you would want that. 
I'm pretty sure there is a more constructive approach to the original 
problem.

If you just wanted to _hide_ them, display: none or some other hiding 
method would work rather well, with the usual CSS Caveats or course. But I 
suppose you want to hide their being text fields, i.e. to display the 
content of a field as if it were normal text. For this, there would be 
many things to consider: border, font family, font size, line height, etc. 
Besides, the field would still be focusable, and you cannot prevent this 
in CSS (though possibly in JavaScript).

[css-d] PNG transparency in IE7

2007-05-15 Thread Peter Osborne
Hi list,

I'm trying to use transparent PNGs as backgrounds on a new site. It  
seems to work fine when I add the transparent background PNG to the  
navigation and content divs independently (see http:// 
dev.careermovesgroup.co.uk). However, the client wants the two  
columns to be of equal height.

I've attempted to achieve this by adding a wide (760px) transparent  
PNG as a background image to anew  contentwrapper div  (see http:// 
dev.careermovesgroup.co.uk/index2.php). This works fine in Safari /  
Firefox. Unfortunately, in IE7 I seem to get an artefact where a  
darker background bar sometimes appears at the bottom of the div.  
Sometimes you have to refresh several times before you see it (or  
flick between two tabs). I haven't defined backgrounds for the divs  
that sit above contentwrapper but I have tried setting them to  
transparent with no effect.

index.php and index2.php reference different stylesheets so it's not  
simply a matter of two partially transparent divs overlying one another.

Taking out the content of the page helps (see http:// 
dev.careermoves.co.uk/index3.php), but even here the artefact is  
reproducible on clicking between tabs.

I'd appreciate any thought anyone might have on this.

Thanks in advance,
Peter

[css-d] The case of the disappearing content

2007-05-15 Thread Tom Dell'Aringa
Hi everyone,

Disclaimer: I didn't code this site, it was delivered by an agency - just
want to be clear about that :)

We have something of a conundrum on one of our brand web sites. The problem
appears on only two pages. When you roll over the brown menu items (they are
drop down menus), the main content on the page disappears. This happens in
IE6 only, FF and IE7 respond just fine. My best guess is that I am dealing
with the peekaboo bug, but my attempts to fix the problem have been
fruitless.

The CSS is a total mess. (Example, the .menu class on that dropdown menu
that appears at the top of the page is located under the footer comment).
I've tried to give various elements hasLayout, but that has not worked.
Maybe this is a problem with the dropdown menu CSS interacting with
ours...and if it is, oh boy.

The dropdown menu was purchased and slapped in there, again by the agency.
It is the Ultimate drop down menu Version 4.44 by Brothercake (
http://www.udm4.com/). To say the css and JS for this menu is complex would
be an understatement.

Maybe the solution is simple and sitting right under my nose... (hoping) so
I figured I'd post it here. The page is here:

http://www.trugreen.com/tg/offers/contact.dsp

In IE6 rollover the menus, sooner or later the page content in the white
area poofs away. You can't get it back without reloading the page.

The CSS:
/tg/include/styles.css - main CSS made by agency. Messy.
/tg/include/udm-resources/udm-style.css - Brothercake drop down menu CSS -
hopefully the problem is not in here

If anyone has any ideas I could try, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

please CC me at pixelmech at gee mail dot com with ideas.

Tom

The overflow property will work with that.  One thing that I noticed

overflow:hidden.  Maybe you could utilize that styling with a known

 Hi all,

 I have heard a few things that got me worried so tested my website

 This is something that has only started to happen recently and I
 can't think of what changes might have caused this.

 http://www.3pointdesign.com/index.html
 http://www.3pointdesign.com/styles/one.css

 I am limited to the testing I can do:

 Safari 2.0.4
 Firefox mozilla 1.5.0.9
 Webkit (safari)
 Netscape 7.2
 Opera 9.20
 Internet explorer 5.2

 all mac browsers.

 As you can see my problem is with Internet Explorer. Are there any
 mac users that no a way that i can test on I.e without having to wait
 2 hrs for browser shots to take pics before I see whether my changes
 have worked? I do not have an intel mac yet so cannot use parallel
 and I am not interested in a pc emulator.

 Thank you in advance for any help.



just from a quick glance it looks like your #rightcontainer is having the
margin-right doubled pushing things down. try to add display: inline; to fix
an IE double margin float bug. i always try that first and see if it is the
problem
hope it solves your issue

[css-d] Line-height problem in IE

2007-05-15 Thread Brooke Nelson
Hello everyone. I have having a problem with line-height in Firefox vs. IE.

I have set the line height at 1.5em for everything in this page. It
views correctly in Firefox, but in IE the line height appears to be
1em for everything in the family tree box (the page is a family tree
chart). Since the majority of people will be viewing this in IE, I am
concerned, because with the lines so close together, it makes it a lot
more difficult to read. Any ideas as to what is causing this?

Thanks for the suggestions, I think I stumbled on a fix.  I put a height:

DIV for all the content, and it seems to be working. I'm going to test it on

You may want to look into using the whatever:hover behavior file rather
 than a javascript drop-down menu. By having your server distribute the
 behaviour file you need not rely on the user having javascript enabled
 for your css menus to work. Read about it here:
 http://www.seoconsultants.com/css/menus/tutorial/

 Checking this out will allow you to just remove the offensive code
 entirely and it will be code that is clearly understandable to you.

[css-d] Layout Issue With IE 6 7

2007-05-15 Thread Alicia Orth
I'm working on a template that will be used as the basis for a 
Zope/Plone CMS that my group is implementing.  This template will 
eventually be used to implement a couple of hundred sites within our 
Plone system (for departments, centers, programs, offices, etc within 
the University where I work).  Each department will have a designated 
person(s) responsible for inputing and updating content in their site.  
For the most part these designated people have no HTML experience 
what-so-ever. 

My goal is to create a layout that has the following:

   1. 3 column layout with a header and footer (the footer can either
  sit at the bottom of the 2nd column, with the 1st  3rd columns
  wrapping down beside it.  Or, it can sit under and span all 3
  columns).
   2. 100% width fluid layout - 1st  3rd column are fixed width while
  the 2nd column is fluid
   3. All 3 columns will be filled with their own color and need to be
  of equal height (I would prefer using color codes rather than
  images if possible)
   4. It can't matter which column will have the most/least amount of
  content
   5. If a page is short on content I would like the footer to stick to
  the bottom of the page.  However, I don't want mock frames (the
  header and footer should scroll with the page).
   6. 100% height - if a page is short on content I would like the
  columns to expand all the way down to the footer
   7. I would like to be able to enforce the set width of the 1st and
  3rd column.  I don't want long unbreakable URLs or emails to break
  the set width.
   8. I would like to avoid using JavaScript if possible.


I have read many articles that address each of these issues individually 
but none that put it all together.  It is when I put working solutions 
together that inevitably something breaks.

To address several of these issues I have been leaning towards the use 
of one main table for the layout.  I know, I know, you just cringed.  
But it does seem to be the lesser of evils when looking at some of the 
workarounds needed to get the above to work.  Also, with a table I can 
use table-layout: fixed to enforce the width of my 1st and 3rd column.

My test site is located at: http://www.med.unc.edu/~aorth/test11.htm

I've tested in the following browsers:

* Windows - IE 6  7, Firefox 1.5  2, Opera 9.2, Netscape 7.1
* Mac - Firefox 2, Safari 2.04, Camino 1.03

This simple layout does well in all the browsers except IE (both 6  
7).  If the page is short on content the header and footer cells expand 
beyond their specified height (100px in my test page).  Is there a way 
to prevent this?

The only other issue (and it's a minor one), is that a long unbreakable 
URL placed in the 1st or 3rd column expand beyond the column width even 
though overflow is set to hidden.  The important factor is that the 
design doesn't break and the rest of the column content doesn't flow 
outside of it's container.  This issue will be more of a training issue 
as links should be made from text that describes what the link pertains 
to.  However, since I can't monitor every page of every customer's site, 
it would be nice to somehow enforce the set width.

Third and last question: are there any other issues that you see with 
this layout?

I am open to a purely css or table based solution that can get all of 
this to work.

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

-Alicia

 Hello everyone. I have having a problem with line-height in Firefox vs. IE.

 I have set the line height at 1.5em for everything in this page.

Felix mentioned the possibility of using a plain number (1.5), which is 
generally a better idea. But in this case there is no difference, 
since you use the same font size. I even tried setting line-height to a 
value in pixels, with the same results.

 in IE the line height appears to be
 1em for everything in the family tree box

That applies to IE 6. On IE 7, the bug seems to have been fixed.

This appears to be the Line-height / Replaced Element Bug described at
http://www.positioniseverything.net/explorer/lineheightbug.html
Basically, when an element contains img elements, IE 6 goes crazy with 
line-height.

The document is pessimistic about fixes. However, in your case, perhaps 
you could circumvent the bug by replacing the images by suitable special 
characters. For example, you might consider replacing constructs like
img src=block1.gif width=11 height=6 /
(where block1.gif presents a thick minus sign)
by e.g.
span class=mminus;/span
with some font-level styling for span.m.

Making the plus and minus symbols align vertically might be somewhat 
complicated but probably possible. It's more difficult to make their 
lines thick enough. But we can return to this issue if you find this 
approach potentially feasible. Note that you should fix the img element 
markup anyway, since the elements now lack the required alt attribute, and 
you might just as well considering doing some _different_ change.

It may be the combination of px for font-size and em for line-height.
FWIW, re-setting the body to:
 body {font: 100%/1.5 verdana, sans-serif;}
and deleting /all/ instances of font-size: 11px;
and /all/ instances of line-height: 1.5em
makes it readable in all browsers /and/ scalable, as well, for your 
primary target browser, IE.

[css-d] Problem with dropdown menu - link widths different in Firefox and IE

2007-05-15 Thread Brooke Nelson
I am having a problem with my dropdown menu. For each item in the
horizontal menu, I want the width of the link to be variable, based on
the width of the text, plus 12px padding on the right and left. This
works in Firefox, but in IE6, the width is the same for each item
(96px, I believe). What is it in my CSS that I have to change to make
it display correctly in IE?

Here is the page:
http://brookenelson.com/statescape/test/StateScape.html

Here is the CSS (the relevant section is under /* NEW HORIZONTAL NAV BAR */):
http://brookenelson.com/statescape/test/style.css

Here is the Firefox and IE screenshots compared:
http://brookenelson.com/statescape/test/screenshot1.jpg

This is the relevant CSS, but I have a feeling it's something else in
the CSS that is causing this, so please look at the full CSS linked
above:

.menu ul li {
float:left;
height:24px;
line-height:24px;
display:block;
}

.menu a, .menu a:visited {
display:block;
float:left;
height:100%;
font-family: verdana;
font-size:10px;
font-weight: bold;
text-decoration:none;
color:#ff;
background:#3D539C url(navbg.gif);
padding:0 12px;
margin: 0;
}


By the way, the menu is based on ones from here:

Hi Lauri,

The main advantage is actually to define your stylesheets in a
separate file and link that file as such:

link rel=stylesheet type=text/css href=/path/to/cssfile.css /

This allows you to make one change and have it apply throughout all
the pages of your site.

The response to your second question is that what you're seeing is an
HTML comment inside a stylesheet.  HTML comments apply only to HTML
code--stylesheet comments look like this:

/* body{ background: #000; } */

The /* and */ open and close the comment in CSS.

Hope this helps,
Brian

A1 - Defining styles in the head of the document allows you to define a 
style once instead of on each and every element (say, I want all of my 
top-level h2 tags to have the color #33 I could just declare it once 
instead of many times over). It is usually better to link to an external 
stylesheet though as then you can change documents depending upon 
situations and re-use code across pages.

A2 - The comment is html style which has no effect upon css which uses C 
style comments: /* comments go here */

Hi Lauri.

I guess I'd answer 'Reusability and Maintainability' for that one.
Granted, it depends on how you are defining the styles, but if we compare
head
style type=text/css
.Highlight
{ background-color: red; }
/style
/head

vs (somewhere in the body)
div style=background-color: red;This should be highlighted/div

It seems fairly equivalent *at first sight*.
However, it is quite possible that you wish to have different elements in
the same page sharing style.
So, if I had 4 or 5 divs that need to be highlighted, I can define the
.Highlight style in the head
and apply it to all of those elements, instead of having to give each of
them their own style attribute.
The day we want to change the Highlight style from a red background to, say,
being underlined and bold text,
we can do so in a single place.

Of course, the same concept extends farther to style you wish to share
across multiple pages.
That's why I'd reccomend using external stylesheet and simply importing them
from your head element:
head
link rel=stylesheet type=text/css href=myStyles.css /
/head
(or by using an import statement, of course).

#2 is it normal that the style info looks to be commented out, but still
 works?
 http://www.somtndesign.com/contactus2ak.htm


Well, in that page you are 'commenting' the styles by using the HTML comment
delimiters (!-- .. --).
Those are not CSS comment delimiters, so modern browsers will still read the
CSS
and use them.

There's a bit about CSS comments over at the W3C school site:
http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_syntax.asp

Also, see this page to see how the HTML comments impac styles defined in the
page:

Useful as that might be for other reasons (but please no font size wars!), 
it does not seem to fix the problem that IE 6 gets the line height wrong. 
You can see this more clearly if you use, for testing, a gross value like 
2.5 instead of 1.5 for line-height.

 you change the content inside the div's often.

 2) Add an extra div to each #pg- div, so your markup would be: div id=pg-
 rubydiv...content.../div/div
 Then, apply margins to the inner div of #pg-ruby. Not as simple, and it adds 
 an extra
 div, but it works well, and you'll have less headaches when you debug for ie.

 
 

 While option 2 means more markup, I have discovered another advantage:
 If you put padding on the inside DIV instead of margins, any top and
 bottom padding stops margins on inside elements from bleeding through.

 Just 1px padding will do the trick.

 Cordially,
 David
Thanks Matt and David. This advice got things working the way I wanted. 
As for Bulletproof Web Design, the new version is prepaid so I just need 
to wait a couple of months for it to be released and shipped.

Thanks,

[css-d] 100% height problems on Mac

2007-05-15 Thread Lee Powell
Hi,

Wonder if anyone can shed a little light on this problem. I've  
created a test page here:
http://www.sixtyten.co.uk/sandpit/testheight.html

Which includes a simple DIV with some content. HTML and BODY are set  
to 100% height, as well as the DIV, however when previewing in  
Firefox and Safari on a Mac the DIV's height only seems to be 100% of  
the inital browser window. When scrolling down the page it gets cut  
off!!

Any ideas on how I can fix this? I've tried several things and  
nothing seems to be doing the trick

Thanks
Lee

You want to put your nav ids inside the a tag. See

Re: [css-d] Creating Actice Link

I've not had luck doing this in pure CSS.  You will possibly have to do 
some server-side scripting such that as you move from page to page the 
different color is read as that link/variable is selected.  However, 
that is not really a topic for this list. Offlist I can respond.  -Bob

 When scrolling down the page it gets cut off!!

You're right: html and body, and subsequently the div, are taking height
from the window - regardless of how tall that is. The text will then
overflow the div. You must replace 'height' with 'min-height', to allow
the div to grow taller when necessary.

Change...

div {
height: 100%;
width: 600px;
background-color: blue;
}

...to...

div {
min-height: 100%;
width: 600px;
background-color: blue;
}

...to make it work.

 In IE6 rollover the menus, sooner or later the page content in the white

The div class=MainContent id=mainContent (or was it MainConTent)
has position:relative, but not haslayout. Add zoom:1 here (this is not 
valid, but the page does not validate anyhow).

The rule of thumb is ... never expect a relatively positioned container 
to be stable without haslayout.

The hovering the menu system (I did not look into it due to your

Confirmed under FF 1.5/Win and FF 2.0/Win.  Not a problem under FF 2/Mac.

You have to go to Mozilla.com to install FF2.  It's a major upgrade, so 
it's not part of the regular updates.  FF 1.5 is still being supported.

Since it works under the Mac and not under Win, I'd have a closer look 
at your font sizes.  Also, even when it screws up, hitting the refresh 
button fixes it - as if there is something that it can't quite figure 
out on the initial load.

I'll have a bit more of a look, but you might want to use Firebug to 
double-check your widths and padding on your divisions, if you haven't 
done so already.

Do you need the display: table on the content division?  In one of the 
times that the problem manifested itself, I removed display:table using

Firebug redraws the screen when you change the CSS, so I may be way off

happen on my test site http://www.liztestsite.com/indexTest.shtml.  If it
had I would have fixed it before making it live. I wonder if there is
something different about the servers.

Re the font sizes -- on the left, they are all the same except for the
dropdowns which are smaller. Maybe the percentages are not good. I will look
in there more closely to see if there is something I messed up with all my
experimenting.  I will also experiment with the font sizes and Firebug as
suggested.  

Thank you all for your help.

I think I needed the display table for either the right column to stay put

 had I would have fixed it before making it live. I wonder if there is
 something different about the servers.

 Re the font sizes -- on the left, they are all the same except for the
 dropdowns which are smaller. Maybe the percentages are not good. I will 
 look
 in there more closely to see if there is something I messed up with all my
 experimenting.  I will also experiment with the font sizes and Firebug as
 suggested.

 Thank you all for your help.
 Liz

Liz:

I changed the font sizes using the FF text-size tool. See 
http://www.fatpawdesign.com/textresize.jpg Maybe obvious, but maybe not. So 
this is a client-side (tex) styling technique you'll have to accomodate (or 
not). I haven't looked at the html or style sheet, but probably more 
important than the actual font size is how the site degrades when they are 
changed. If the site changes form gracefully, the font size may not be so 
important.

Good Luck,

Peter

[css-d] Getting things lined up

2007-05-15 Thread Alan_Akhlah
I am trying to redo my site without tables and I am working on the 
template for the layout. The main banner of the page has two images that 
go together for a total of 800 px wide. The first one is taller than the 
one to the right of it and the navigation buttons (css of course) are 
under it. Right now it is not lining up.

here is the code: (I included the CSS and the direct links to the image 
files)

Re: [css-d] firefox display problems - need urgent help

2007-05-15 Thread Liz

 Do you need the display: table on the content division?  In one of the
 times that the problem manifested itself, I removed display:table using
 Firebug from the content division and it corrected itself.  Mind you,
 Firebug redraws the screen when you change the CSS, so I may be way off
 base here.  However, I didn't see any difference in the layout with
 display:table removed, so I wonder if you need it.  Certainly IE doesn't
 understand that anyway.
 
 Just a thought.
 
 Lori
 

Lori,
Thank you so much for your suggestion, that fixed it! I had display table on
both the content and page styles.  When I took it off of both it fixed the
problem. I never would have thought of that. Styling with CSS is still
mostly a mystery to me but thanks to the help of the list I'm slowly
figuring it out.  Thank you others who helped also -- I will also take a
closer look at my font sizes.

Liz

[css-d] Inline Image 4px Gap

2007-05-15 Thread Nate Kresse
This is probably really basic, but can anyone tell me why there is a 4px gap
between inline images. Padding and margins set to 0 and still the gap
persists. I've searched through the archive and see references to it, and
obviously if you float the images the gap disappears, but I'm curious as to
why this occurs.

Here is my test case:
http://www.stammbt.com/testing/css/inline_images/

Anyway, no big deal, but if anyone can point me to an answer I'd be curious
to find out more.

Thanks,
Nate Kresse

[css-d] Banner and Menu problems

2007-05-15 Thread Richard Brown
Hi All

This is a new site for me and I am having difficulty with the best way
forward. I am trying to create a site where the nav is suckerfish and
is placed right at the top of the site. Then there is a banner spread
right across the monitor and finally the site content. The site is
760px wide with margin set to 0 auto. And here is the link:
http://testbed.cregy.co.uk/
http://testbed.cregy.co.uk/wp-content/themes/sgafluid/style.css

The problem I am having is how to set the banner fully across the
page. I have placed the width and margin values on three divs;
navcontainer, header and wrapper. Then placed a repeating image in the
header so that I get the banner. However, this image overlaps into the
navcontainer div, so I need to set a height. As soon as I do that, if
anyone increases the text size then I run into problems.

Any idea on how I achieve this please and keep the site accessible.

Many thanks.

Re: [css-d] csshover.htc question

Hi Sara,

This problem is a subtle one. I assume you are looking at this on a Windows
xp system with SP2 installed. That is, on a fairly up-to-date PC.

A change occurred with SP2 that requires your host site to send .htc
files with a MIME type of text/x-component -- Opera is telling me that
yours is being sent as text/plain.

For details, see this post at Aldo's blog:

[css-d] Problem with dropdown menu - link widths different in Firefox and IE

2007-05-15 Thread Brooke Nelson
This is the third time I have sent this to the list the past almost 11
hours, and it still hasn't shown up. I see it in the archives on the
web site, but it hasn't made it to the e-mail list. Any idea what's
going on?

-- Forwarded message --
From: Brooke Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Date: May 15, 2007 12:35 PM
Subject: Problem with dropdown menu - link widths different in Firefox and IE
To: css-d@lists.css-discuss.org


I am having a problem with my dropdown menu. For each item in the
horizontal menu, I want the width of the link to be variable, based on
the width of the text, plus 12px padding on the right and left. This
works in Firefox, but in IE6, the width is the same for each item
(96px, I believe). What is it in my CSS that I have to change to make
it display correctly in IE?

Here is the page:
http://brookenelson.com/statescape/test/StateScape.html

Here is the CSS (the relevant section is under /* NEW HORIZONTAL NAV BAR */):
http://brookenelson.com/statescape/test/style.css

Here is the Firefox and IE screenshots compared:
http://brookenelson.com/statescape/test/screenshot1.jpg

This is the relevant CSS, but I have a feeling it's something else in
the CSS that is causing this, so please look at the full CSS linked
above:

.menu ul li {
float:left;
height:24px;
line-height:24px;
display:block;
}

.menu a, .menu a:visited {
display:block;
float:left;
height:100%;
font-family: verdana;
font-size:10px;
font-weight: bold;
text-decoration:none;
color:#ff;
background:#3D539C url(navbg.gif);
padding:0 12px;
margin: 0;
}


By the way, the menu is based on ones from here:

Simple. You have spaces between each image. Try adding an HTML comment
between each IMG tag, or put them all on one line without spaces between.

Did you have a CSS question?

Hi Georg

Unfortunately that doesn't seem to fix it when I test it in Safari or  
Firefox on a mac...
Any other ideas?
