Re: [css-d] Columns inside a select
On Thu, 23 Aug 2007, Les Mizzell wrote: I just got asked this by a client. I don't think it's possible. What they're looking for is a drop down list showing different versions of a product with several attributes all in equal width columns. In practical terms, it isn't possible, but you can achieve something similar by using other kinds of input fields (form controls). Kinda like: Item #Size Color Radius -- select option 123A12Green2' /option option 123B14Red 7' /option option 123C15Blue 9' /option /select No way - right? Since the option element has plain text as its content, by HTML specifications, there is no way to apply different CSS styling to its different parts, e.g. to make part of it start at a specific horizontal position. Pseudoelements might in theory change this, but there's nothing to look for in that direction. You could hand-tabulate the content as above, using no-break spaces instead of normal spaces, and set the font in the select elements to a monospace font. That way, you could get tabular-looking appearance much like you did in your email, except that you needed extra operations. (Using white-space: pre should make even normal spaces non-collapsible, but it does not seem to work for select elements, at least on IE 7.) So what's left ia a different design, where you put the data in a table (after all, it is tabular data, isn't it?) and make the first column of the table contain radio buttons. The user would then click on a radio button, rather than select from a dropdown list.

Re: [css-d] Logo Image Disappears in IE7 (squeaking the wheel)

I posted a few days ago about a problem where some images set as
background images in div tags were not displaying in
Internet Explorer version 7.

The HTML is essentially just nested div tags:
div id=logo
a href=/spanArticlass/span/a
div id=logo-right
div id=logo-left
div id=main-menu
?php menu(main_menu); ?
/div!-- ends main-menu --
/div!-- ends logo-left --
/div!-- ends logo-right --
/div!--ends logo --
The tag logo has a background image that repeats. The logo-left
div has a background - the main title text - that doesn't
repeat and is positioned on the left. And, as expected,
the logo-right div has
a thin background, positioned on the right.
I'm not sure if the following is the only reason, but surely it contributes:
You have #logo-left { height: inherit; }
The inherit keyword is not supported by IE (IE7 included), so you are not
getting the desired height for your #logo-left.
Assign an explicit height, I think 180px is what you want (you can probably
also use height:100% on both #logo-right and #logo-left, since this is the
explicit height on the parent #logo.)

[css-d] Question still not Answered-
This question was posted previously, but I have not received any answers yet. I cannot figure out how to reply back to my same original thread (so if someone can help with that question that would be great too). I'm trying to please as many resolutions as possible, and have coded the example below for 800X600. It seems to work fine in Firefox, but there appears to be a scaling issue when viewed with IE6 and a monitor set to 800X600 resolution. Here are additional details: I just checked www.cssbuddy.freesuperhosting.com using my desktop computer set to 800X600 resolution and it looks like crap with IE6. I thought it was this scaling problem with Dell, but it's happening on a standard desktop computer too. I know IE sucks, I hate it, and personally avoid using it whenever possible; but what are you going to do with the morons who still think IE is the greatest thing since perforated toilet paper? ~~~ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~~~ __ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7 information -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/

Sorry RR, That's the result of my partial advice (it's debateable as to whether or not it's good practice but I always treat IE bugs as exceptions to be dealt with as and when they come up): IE needs the abstract MS-proprietary property of 'hasLayout' to apply conventional box model logic in some cases. There are two ways of dealing with this depending on how you feel about 'clean' coding: • You can give it the non-W3-spec MS CSS zoom:1, and all other browsers will simply not process the rule (the downside being invalid CSS). • You can give it height:1%, and still have entirely valid CSS but having given every browser a piece of what makes very little sense (but it won'y screw anything up in rendering terms).

I believe that IE will only recognise the 'hover' pseudoclass if it is

Ah, but what you do not know - because I neglected to say so - is that the 800px body was just for troubleshooting so I didn't have to scroll horizontally. The actual layout didn't specify the body width. My basic problem turned out to be that to contain a float, float its parent doesn't scale very well at all. I really didn't need a floated fieldset; that was floated only so it could contain other floats. Instead, I used a self-clearing float down at the field level, and everything works nicely now.

Oh it's there alright on mac/ff but may not be exactly easy to see at

FWIW, deleting the height (s) on this selector will prevent the content

[css-d] Min-Height
I'm trying to use min-height in FF, which is supposed to support the
style, but it's ignoring it. IE, ironically enough, is honoring it because
I'm using the IE7 javscript library.
Anyway, here's the relevent code.
fieldset {
border:1px solid #369;
border-left:3.4em solid #369;
display:block;
margin-top:1em;
padding:1em 1em 1em 2.5em;
padding-top:0;
position:relative;
}
#dealInfoLegend {
height:185px;
left:-4.7em;
margin-top:-90px;
position:absolute;
top:50%;
width:12px;
}
#dealStructure {
clear:right;
float:none;
min-height:185px;
}
fieldset id=dealStructure

Re: [css-d] Differing font-sizes between operating systems

Hi,
I'm working for a company in which the boss (who's originally from the
print industry) insists on having equal line lengths in the browsers on
different operating systems.
So in an example text, hello, i'm example text!, if the text is split to
the following line at example on Firefox Windows, it must be split at
example in Firefox Mac/Safari as well.
On Windows, I had to resort to inserting manual line-breaks where the boss
wants the split which are not honoured on Safari for example.
How do you solve this technically, if at all? My reasoning that you cannot
finally determine the user's operating system and settings is not
acceptable for the boss.
Please assume that influencing the line-length or font-size for the
diferent operating systems is what needs to be solved. Please, no
discussion how and why you should *not* influence it, that wouldn't help
me. It's probably to do with resolution which differs between WIn and Mac
OS, but I'm facing the situation as-is.
The most robust solution for you might be to use the HTML element
pre - which is intended to preserve whitespace and line breaks, and
to override its default monospace appearance with
pre {font-family:Arial, Helvetica, serif;} or something similar.
You should avoid making the container fixed-width (pre will overflow
the container by default if lines are too long) or specify the width
in ems.
Using a font-size as small as 62.5% will cause the layout to break
more quickly, as it hits people's minimum font settings or they need
to text zoom in order to read. It sounds as though your bosses'
browser is set to default fonts larger than he likes - that is where
things need to be fixed.
Also, pre gets a smaller font size by default in nearly every
browser (13pt vs 16pt, IIRC) so you would at least need to allow for
that.

Safari is 13px vs. 16px, as is Gecko on Mac and windoz. Gecko is 12px vs. 16px on Linux. In Konqueror and all versions of IE, monospace (PRE) is the same size as proportional. Since IE represents more users than all other browsers combined, it's fair to say that most users will find unstyled PRE text to be the same nominal size as unstyled normal text. -- It is impossible to rightly govern the world without God and the Bible.George Washington Team OS/2 ** Reg.

[css-d] Insertions rather than popups
Greetings: I'm working on a large document with translations and footnotes, and I do not want popup windows. Instead, I have the text appearing in place (mockup sample at http://users.rcn.com/rtberg/try_me.html), using javascript and enclosing the note or translation text--which is sometimes fairly structured--in object tags. Is there a way to do this with pure CSS and no javascript? (I'm new to the list, and I searched the archive with popup, but that didn't help much. My apologies if this is old hat.)

Re: [css-d] Min-Height
Interesting... I don't know why (I didn't find anything on the spec) but it
seems you need to specify the height property. It also seems that pretty
much any value works.

[css-d] help with table height
I am writing a CSS for printing invoices (via Flying Saucer). That's a page with three DIVs with fixed heights, header, body, and footer. Target is DIN A4. OK, I would like to emulate a common layout in printed invoices: in the body I would like to have a table that fills 100% the DIV both horizontally and vertically, with vertical borders in the columns. Even if there are only a few rows in the invoice, the borders should go down to the bottom with empty content. At the bottom there would be border-bottoms. The closer I've got to this is a fake last TR with nbsp;s in each cell and some fixed height for each TD's padding-bottom. But I don't know how to turn that fixed height into whatever remains available. Any idea? -- fxn __ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7 information -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/

[css-d] positioning guidance
Well, I am finally working on my own site. I want three boxes lined up next to each other (the light blue boxes). I tried floating them but somehow that made them go into the footer (which has a red border on it while I am trying to figure this all out). So then I absolutely positioned them inside a relatively positioned div. Now the footer is up behind the boxes. Does anyone have a suggestion or a good link for a tutorial that will help me figure this out? Thanks, Jennifer Looking for a deal? Find great prices on flights and hotels with Yahoo!
