2007-09-09 Thread Portman
Your embedded styles have a visited link as #33 (which is a grey 
colour, no?) The embedded styles in your page will override the styles 
in the stylesheet. Try putting what you want in the embedded stylesheet 
and see if that helps.

[css-d] Peekaboo perhaps

2007-09-09 Thread Bob Meetin - www.dottedi.biz
Hi, I can't share a link yet but I think this is the peekaboo bug.  
Firefox is fine, but with IE I have some text that is invisible unless I 
do some curious scrolling or excessive resizing of window width. 

The content area of the troubled page begins with an H1 open/close, then 
a paragraph open/close.  The third item is a series for 4 pictures float 
left with centered captions.  I have done things like containing the the 
pics in a div and some other oddball things.  I can probably get a link 
later this week. 

Ideas?

Hi Ross,

you need to define the list as the float and then position:relative as per:

#cat_menu  li {float:left;position:relative}

#cat_menu  li a{
color:#ccc;
/*float:left;*/
position:relative;
padding:5px;
border-right:1px solid #fff;
background-color:#333;
font-size:10pt;
height:20px;
display:inline;
}

Cheers

Ian

Does anybody know what this is please?

Re: [css-d] drop down nav

 Hi all,

 This is my first web site, and I haven't been able to get this drop down nav 
 list to behave
 properly in IE. It behaves better in mozilla, but still not great (for 
 example, the background of
 the drop down nav doesn't resize when the # of items in the list gets 
 shorter, making the space
 between Doll Chat and Contact look funny). Will someone take a look and 
 tell me where I have
 gone wrong?

 http://lovelydollcompany.com/

 Thank you!

 Ellen

 PS I know the site should be using more css and less tables... I'm working on 
 it (actually, I'm
 hoping the new version of Dreamweaver CS3 will have a nice, unstyled template 
 that will solve all
 my problems, but I have to install more RAM to run it)

Hi Ellen

I have played around with the CSS (sliced it to pieces), and rearrange some of 
the code.

http://css-class.com/x/doll/lovelydollcompany2.htm

Working the same now in IE7, FF and Opera. You had a negative left margin on 
the #left float containing the menu and this caused the #left element to drift 
slightly out of the viewpoint on the left when the viewpoint was narrowed far 
enough. The reason you this was obviously to not have the menu overlap the baby 
doll image. The lasted demo shows that the menu is slightly overlapping the 
baby doll image. Can those menu images have a transparent background instead of 
a pink background. This overlapped of the image I find ok, since all background 
colors have been removed.

Please note that I have removed all font size 12px. This causes IE to freeze 
the font.

At this point the menu is not highly accessible. It can not be tabbed through 
and if images are disabled, the main menu images items don't show.

Please note that both #left and #right (blue border) floats has the Georg 
Sorten's removing floats technique [1] employed using negative margins. The 
reason is that the divs containing the baby doll image have hasLayout with a 
width specified. The removing the floats technique counters the bug where 
elements with hasLayout don't flow around floats [2] causing the hasLayout 
elements to drop below or be shifted by floats. Please see the demo without 
these negative margins. Mote how the #left float forces the image divs to be 
pushed right and the #right float forces the image divs downwards.

http://css-class.com/x/doll/lovelydollcompany3.htm

Now the removing floats technique does wonders for Firefox to (more so then IE 
would you believe). Initially the baby doll image is well down the page and 
when the menu items are hovered, the images drops more.

[2] http://www.satzansatz.de/cssd/onhavinglayout.html#nextfloat

How IE6 will respond to the changes is a mystery to me. I hope this helps.

Kind Regards, Alan

Well, since you have an *idea* of the problem at hand, and the symptoms
would certainly indicate you are correct, try the standard peekaboo
fixes:

Give hasLayout to the content div that contains the floats and see how
you get on.

[css-d] Background color not showing

2007-09-09 Thread Joanne

http://www.melbournecostumehire.com.au/test/

In IE6  7, the background of this navigation is black. In Firefox  Safari,

only the hyperlinks are black background and when they finish, the
background color of the rest of the #navigation div is showing as white.

How do I fix this?

 Hi! I've been lurking for a while now, I was introduced to this list

Welcome over :-)

 The site is now at a stage that, before I go any further, I would 
 like some more knowledgeable people like yourselves to have a look at
  it and tell me what I've done wrong, what I've done well, and what 
 could have been done better.

 http://www.ratking.co.uk/circuits.css

The content of the right column (with the style switcher) does overflow
the background image quite easily when subjected to font resizing.
Happens at first load at my end since my preference is 'minimum font
size = 14px, and in all browsers if I touch font resizing. Maybe you
should test a bit more and redesign that part for a better appearance.

The navbar links are invisible without image support and are missing
completely without CSS support, but that's compensated by duplicated
links at the bottom. Looks funny though.

Otherwise it looks ok and seems to work.

Georg

IE/win is saved by its 'hasLayout'[1] bug which makes the container
auto-expand, while other browsers need to be told to expand the
container to include its floating children.

Adding...

#navigation {display: table;}

...will solve that by establishing a new block formatting context[2],
which enforces expansion without interfering with the dropdowns.
