You can rearrange a float-based 3 column layout to an 2-1-3 or 3-1-2 
source ordered layout by the use of negative margins, see [1, 2].

The main container holding these columns, coming first in the source, 
may leave some em-margin above. Coming later in the source, the header 
element may be positioned absolutely on top of the main container. 
(Inside the header, you may swap the order by using position:absolute, 
too.)

The first element in body should then be a skip-to-navigation link. In 
addition, a skip-to-advertisement link may be semantically correct, but 
is not necessarily helpful in the real world.

As with all layouts that use absolute positioning to reposition large
parts containing text, the result depends entirely on to what degree you
have control of the dimensions of elements that should appear _above_
the element(s) you want first in the source-code.

Usually that control is lost if/when font resizing options are used in
browsers. However, if you can work your way around that and provide a
suitable space for the top-stuff also when the layout is subjected to
font resizing, then the rest is just a matter of arranging and wrapping
  floats - as Ingo has already pointed out.


FWIW: I don't think there's a need to flag limited browser-support, as
all major browsers today will handle a layout like that - in any order.
I don't use any of the supported browsers on a regular basis, but the
ones I use have no problem with the existing layout, and won't have any
with a properly built rearranged version either.

[css-d] simple css question

2007-08-20 Thread Francesco (Sin City Creative)
I was trying to help a friend with a layout and ran into something.  The
page is XHTML 1.0 Strict, btw.  He wants a 40px tall header with two cells,
50% each.  Sounds simple, and it works as expected in FF 2.0, with two cells
side-by-side.  In IE 7, the right cell drops under the left cell, instead of
staying next to it.  Below is the CSS and relevant html.  Does 50% x 2 not
equal 100% in IE 7?

body {
  border: 0;
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  color: #000;
  background: #FFF;
}

#container {
  width: 100%;
  margin: 0 auto;
}

#headerLeft, #headerRight {
  height: 40px;
  width: 50%;
}

#headerLeft {
  float: left;
  background: #F00;
}

#headerRight {
  float: right;
  background: #0F0;
}

div id=container
  div id=header
div id=headerLeft/div
div id=headerRight/div
  /div
/div

  even IE7, but IE6 falls over with how it handles the float right
  column.

 I couldn't see the version in the css - do you use the latest v0.4 of
 blueprint? It handles certain IE6 issues.


 Gruss, Ingo

Hi Gruss,

After some more research, I think my hacking around with blueprint ( I
was using 0.4) to allow content first in the source order has made me
come a cropper on the IEWin double margin bug.

Will investigate more tonight when I'm back from work.

[css-d] 5 column 5 row table

2007-08-20 Thread Gary Williamson
Generator Microsoft Word 11 (filtered medium) I' m trying to recreate a five 
column, 5 row table using CSS which is fluid(resizes with browser dimensions), 
similar to this one (code below) but using CSS is driving me mad! Sometimes it 
works in Firefox but doesn' t render in IE and vice-versa. I can' t use 
margin.left: with different values as IE doesn' t like it. Should I use float 
for the first column and then float again for the second column etc? Should I 
work across then down or down then across? Should I have separate divs each 
holding each image and surrounding text? So many questions and so many 
problems!!

Quite often, it doesn't, since IE has emotional issues with padding due

Simple that works is difficult. Complex that fails is easy.

/One way/ to close the gap is to run the markup of the four items as one 
continuous string-- rather than stacking them as you have.
Don't forget to run your page through the w3c markup [1] and css [2] 
validation services.

It looks like you've got the as in there all by themselves, and
since they're inline elements by default, the browser parses any
whitespace--including new lines--as spaces between the elements. So
the space you're seeing between them actually /is/ a space.  It's like
if you had a sentence with four links in it, e.g., aHere/a
aare/a asome/a alinks/a. (I don't know how Gmail's going
to parse that last sentence, so imagine all the words in Here are
some links are enclosed in anchor tags.)

You've got at least a couple of options here:

1) You could just put all the links on one line, all mashed together;
ugly, hard to edit, but it works
2) You could float the links left
3) You could enclose the links in a list of some sort, as is often
done with navigation links these days.

Good luck!

Hi Henry,

Instead of adding the background image and empty (superfluous) list
items, you could just use a bottom border on the #navigation li
elements. 
Alternatively you could put the background image on there using a 1px
image set to left bottom repeat-x, with the desired main background
color stated after it to fill the rest of the li space. 
Adding padding:0; to the same element should sort out the spacing
issues.

Also I noticed that you have href attributes in your img tags which is
causing validation failure.

Hope that helps,

James

[css-d] Footerstick, and transparent absolute background

2007-08-20 Thread Arnold Gregory
Thank you for taking the time to consider my problem.

QUESTIONS?

1. How can an absolutely positioned background div be effected by relative
and floated divs not contained in it?

2. Is there a better approach to achieving the layout I am attempting?

I am trying to combine the footer stick technique with faux columns and
opacity on this page:

http://sandboxv3.erau.edu/pr/0pr-dev/index.html

#page and #nonfooter are used to achieve the 100% height. The footer which
is outside #page and #nonfooter would not be visible without a negative top
margin to bring it in to the window. Code borrowed from:
http://www.themaninblue.com/writing/perspective/2005/08/29/

I can't use #page and #nonfooter for the faux columns because the columns
must be transparent to allow the clouds image (body background image) to
show through. If I make either either of these dives transparent then all
the page content contained in them becomes transparent also.

The only solution I have come up with is a transparent absolute div centered
with a repeating image to create the columns. Since the footer would always
be at the bottom of the window, I should not have the problem of the faux
columns showing under the footer.

To see the problem resize window so that the footer in no longer visible and
scroll to the bottom. The background absolute div is somehow shortened and
does not reach the footer. Strangely in IE6 if you refresh the page the div
magically extends to the footer until you resize the window again.

Here is my structure. Everything validates except the opacity properties.

body

div id=columns/div

div id=page
div id=nonFooter


div id=header
...stuff
/div!--END HEADER--

div id=content
   div id=contentMain/div
   div id=section_navstuff/div
div class=clearer/div
/div!-- END content --

/div!-- END nonFooter --
/div!-- END page --

div id=footerstuff/div

/body
/html

Under certain conditions IE6 has problems with selectors like this...
#maincontent.mainlayout {

}

...but will work fine if given the following, simplified, version...

.mainlayout {

For older IE/win versions you'll also have to work around the standard

http://www.w3.org/International/articles/serving-xhtml/Overview.en.php#quirks

You can either...

1: feed the old versions different width for all containers that have
both width and side-paddings, since paddings are not added to width in
the IE/win quirks mode box-model.

2: delete side-paddings on elements that has a width, and give all
browsers a new width. This usually means replacing side-paddings with
side-margins where horizontal spacing is needed, and generally avoid
situations where box-model differences create problems.


Note: it is always easier to debug layouts when the source-code is up to
the declared standard. Most of the 57 errors are non-essential and
script induced, but at least one ID - #content - is lost in there...

This is more like it for that doctype...

...and validity does help at this stage...

after running my tried-n-true method of keep deleting lines and
refreshing until ie gets it right, i found that ie7's problem is (at
least) with your font-variant: small-caps; rule.  i can't tell you
what ie7's hang up is, but the menu lines up again after deleting that
rule.

Thanks, cj.

It's odd, I had decided to use small-caps, but to keep the text the 
same height, I used all lower-case in the a link. But, when I went 
back to the HTML, and capitalized the words, the error goes away, and 
the text changed size.

You've already changed your test case. Here is a bug reduction. The li 
itself is pushed up if the span inside does not contain a space.
