Re: [css-d] How will firefox 3 affect web developers?

2007-12-02 Thread Gunlaug Sørtun
Since there always are a few designers who could learn a trick or two
about how to break their carefully crafted CSS based layouts before
their visitors do, I think it might not hurt to finish off my
contribution to this thread with one last comment.

 This is what I am trying to solve with layout stability.

Fine. Existing guidelines are a bit old...

If you can improve on things than nothing would be better.
This looks like an ok place to start...

...and the rest are better suited for...
http://www.webaim.org/discussion/

 Come on give up now :) .

Why :-)

Since we're onto font-resizing: I usually test my creations to '200%' or
'minimum font size = 28px' and check for readability. Minor breakage of
design is the norm, and your portfolio is no different in that respect.
Plenty of sites that can't take any font-resizing though, so of course
you have a point.

I also zoom pages to 200% on a 1280 screen - with the mentioned 'minimum
font size', and that can be very hard on many layouts. Yours is still a
bit too rigid for such treatment, but I've sure seen them worse.

 ..., but I don't care one bit if it breaks a whole set of rules, 
 definitions and best practices in order to be more flexible than 
 required by known media.
 
 Then you are ignoring those who need more readability, Usability and
 a better user experience. My goal is to providing a better
 environment for Human Computer Interaction or (HCI).

Gosh, that was part of my working title back in the mid 80'. We didn't
have the www, HTML and CSS to deal with then, but we had the problems...

 - If I think a weak User Agent should be supported, then I'll
 give it something on a level it can handle - without disturbing the
 better User Agents.
 
 I agree.
 
 That's a natural part of an inherently unstable approach anyway,
 and doesn't yield worse results than any other approach.
 
 Well not necessarily, It can be an inherently stable approach.

So, we have two approaches that aim to solve some of the same problems.
Good, I have no problems with that. Let us know how it turns out.

I'll continue tuning styles for Opera Mini 4 now.
I also have to check up improvements/changes in CSS support in Firefox 3
and Safari 3 vs. older versions a bit more in depth, to see if there's
anything that affect my work as a web developer. So far all I can say is
that I don't think so.

 to provide a better user experience. My portfolio located at:
 http://cssfreelancer.awardspace.com is a sample of such a design .

 Thus it provides a flexible-rigid data-exchange

 At +3 steps up from default font in Firefox 2 on Linux, your left side
 menu overlaps the text.

It only takes me +2 in Epiphany, and that's not its only problem. Several
weeks ago on http://lists.evolt.org/archive/Week-of-Mon-20071105/192473.html
is a thread on Tohidy's Layout Stability, where I demonstrated other
problems on that page and touched on how to fix some of them. It has some
widths set in px, so it poses typical problems at high DPI and the
significantly higher text sizes in px generally necessitated in that context.
He's since changed his color scheme, but I demonstrate its user experience
degradation and compare to using ems at:

You should have all major browsers available for testing even if they
are pretty close on most CSS related stuff. Firefox 3.0b1 doesn't look
too bad so far, but Fx 2 is/was a bit behind.

With all due respect to Opera and Safari's users, based on the visitor 
stats of the sites I manage (and on stats from sites like thecounter.com), 
by testing in Firefox and IE, I _am_ testing for all _major_ browsers.  I 
should probably add Safari, as its usage seems to be approaching 5%, but 
Opera is hardly even a blip on the radar, usually falling below unknown 
or other on the various lists.

Yeah, I know Opera includes a built-in user agent switcher that could 
deflate its stats, but if it's own users won't even stand up and be 
counted, I'm not going to bother trying to guess how many of them there 
might be. :)

2007-12-02 Thread Jan Christian Anker
Thanks Philippe for replying, it was a great help (see below),

but problems with www.putti.no http://www.putti.no/  still remain!

 

 Now, do a refresh, and the menu is back in place, but

 still with problems.

I don't see any problems when compared to Safari, Gecko nightly build  

and Opera.

OS X 10.4.11.

Not with IE 7.0 either, it is FF that has the problem.

 

 I would also be most happy if somebody could test the

 page in FF 2.0.0.9; I believe that the behavior is

 OK there.

I strongly doubt it would be better in Fx 2.0.0.9.

As I recall it, it worked correctly in FF 2.0.0.9 (?).

 

The reason: your image (PPP-logo_skrift613x150.gif) has no dimensions  

specified.

Give it width and height in the html or the stylesheet, and the  

problem will be gone.

Have done so for both top pictures, that did eliminated the double 

loading, that I consider a bug in FF.

 

However, there is still a problem with the font in menu and text,

it should be Comic Sans MS (as displayed in IE 7.0) and not

Arial as displayed in FF.

 

Thanks,

Jan Christian Anker

Wouldn't it be nice if Adobe made it's own browser and distribute it like flash

way control the diffs in browsers and most people would download it like they

Count me out then - I never surf the web with any other browser :-)

It is not a question about being counted. There are too many sites
that create problems for Opera-users for no other reason than to create
problems for Opera-users - probably mixed with a solid dose of
ignorance, so regular users of that browser got no choice, really.
Once being forced to switch I suspect regular Opera-users to leave its
id in the state it happens to be in, since only dysfunctional sites use
browser-id as protection.

I use the whole array of id's and other tricks built into Opera when I
test the quality of sites and the work of their developers. It's an
efficient way to separate the good from the not so good, and learn what
not to do in web design.

As a designer: I never read stats since I have no interest in knowing
what visitors to any of my creations are using. I don't make guesses
either, since my only interest surrounding browsers is what each of them
are capable and not capable of so I can work around their weak spots.

As a user: it's the same capability I use as guide. Has made my choices
rather simple so far, I'd say.

Since this thread started off with a question about the upcoming version
of Firefox, for me that browser doesn't make it near the top neither for
developing nor using in the state its beta is in, and it doesn't advance
much compared with previous versions. I hope that'll improve before the
final gets released.
Firefox is easy to fix so visitors aren't being bothered, but it
excludes itself on, for me, essential points, so Firefox 3 will still
only be useful for testing - of itself.
Of course, Firefox 3 has no effect on me as a designer since, as
mentioned, nothing much has changed and I don't read stats.

 stats of the sites I manage (and on stats from sites like thecounter.com),
 by testing in Firefox and IE, I _am_ testing for all _major_ browsers.

Absolutely agree... FF and IE are the *only* major browsers.  All the rest are
just wanna-be's.  So few people use the other browsers they don't deserve
any of my time to accommodate their off-the-mainstream preference.  And it's
not about which one is the best browser... it's all about what most people use.

Therefore, right now at least, IE truly is the only *major* browser.  Even FF
is simply a more serious contender.  Notice a wrote *more* serious contender.  
Not
even a serious contender, yet.  It's simply enough in use that I decide to
devote time to making content look good on it.  What makes a browser *major*
is simply how much usage it has.  Not how much it does or does not comply with
standards.

If Opera had 80% of the market share of browser usage, Opera would be my main
develop target.  But...

As far as standards go, the most important standards are decided by the using 
public,
not by the W3C.

Some developers are idealists who want to live in the world *they* develop as 
far
as what browsers deserve attention and development time.  The rest of us live in
the real world.

I challenge any developer to develop an app for general consumption that works
perfectly in FF and looks terrible in IE and see how much money that make from 
it.

Rick

PS - @ Erik... sorry, I meant to post this to the list and not just you, 
personally.

 You should have all major browsers available for testing even if they
 are pretty close on most CSS related stuff. Firefox 3.0b1 doesn't look
 too bad so far, but Fx 2 is/was a bit behind.

 should probably add Safari, as its usage seems to be approaching 5%, but

 Yeah, I know Opera includes a built-in user agent switcher that could
 deflate its stats, but if it's own users won't even stand up and be
 counted, I'm not going to bother trying to guess how many of them there
 might be. :)

It is not a question about being counted. There are too many sites
that create problems for Opera-users for no other reason than to create
problems for Opera-users - probably mixed with a solid dose of
ignorance, so regular users of that browser got no choice, really.

I've _occasionally_ run into sites that have problems with 
standards-compliant browsers, and when I do, I change my user agent with a 
Firefox extension that I installed years ago (it was one of the first 
available extensions, IIRC).  Otherwise, I leave it as is.  I don't even 
remember the last time I had any need to use the user agent switcher, 
though.  Most issues I've seen in the last few years have been with sites 
genuinely using IE-proprietary features (usually MS apps like Web-Outlook, 
which my employer uses), where changing the user agent doesn't do the trick.

Given that Opera's standards compliance is about as good as that of Firefox 
2 (I'm not going to argue about which is better - each fails at things the 
other succeeds at, but both are at the top of the list), I wouldn't expect 
Opera users to need to mask their user agent frequently, either.  That's 
why I figure users who use Opera and mask their user agent have only 
themselves to blame for no one taking Opera seriously based on visitor stats.

[css-d] How to centre text in a div

2007-12-02 Thread Clare
Hello!

I have a general question about vertically aligning text within a div, I
would just like to check which is the correct way to get this to happen.
When I have a div say for example 50px high and I have a line of text within
the div, I normally either use padding to get the text to appear roughly
central or I set the line height to 50px. Is there an easier or more correct
way to accomplish this?

Regards,

Clare Green.

[css-d] Forms and Line Spacing

2007-12-02 Thread Ocean Mist
I am doing a form using CSS, not tables. However, when I change the line 
height in the fieldset, I am finding that the label and the input box do 
not line up as they should. There's too much space between the lines if I 
leave the line height at 1em. Is there a way to fix this? I am viewing it 
in IE6.

PS Not a good idea to use px for line-height as it sometimes trips some 
browsers. Usually, no unit of measure is used with line-heght-- just a 
raw number such as 1.7;.

[css-d] floats and IE

2007-12-02 Thread Cynthia Page
Hi,

I have a few pages on my website that display images, or videos or even just a 
list of contacts that I have put in divs with the float attribute. They don't 
work (they don't stack up under themselves, they hide off to the right of the 
page) in Windows/IE7. I have looked into fixes online and I am very confused.

At best I just need to add a width dimension on the #floatwrap div that I have 
wrapped either the #left55 (on the jc page) or the #floatleft (on the people 
page).

On the video page I see I didn't even wrap the #left55 divs... They all work 
Mac/ FF

or do I need a clear:after somewhere?

OUY I am brain dead.

Any help much appreciated.

Thank you!

Cynthia

[css-d] content not wrapping around a float in IE

2007-12-02 Thread Lisa Goettel
I'm not sure if the enclosing div should have layout or not in  
order to get the content to wrap properly around a floated div.  In  
any event, I've tried numerous ways to set it up both ways and still  
IE shoves the content down below the float.  Suggestions appreciated...

or contact.html, or artists.html...)

has issues and I'm resolving them now.)

Same in all IE/win versions, it seems.

There's no such property/value in any existing standard.

Only checked this page: http://bio3d.colorado.edu/docs/jc.html

Add a 'hasLayout' trigger...

#floatwrap {
height: 1%;
}

...and delete the following 'clear: right'...

.floatleft {
clear: right;
}
.left55 {
clear: right;
}

...since they upset IE/win' tender feelings :-) and doesn't do anything
useful anyway since there's nothing to clear in that direction.

Not all Opera users know about UA identification. Opera used to default to
identifying itself as IE, and I believe upgrading leaves that old default
undisturbed. This means most likely mostly only recently created Opera
profiles are resulting in ID as Opera.

Dear Shawn and Georg,

Thanks so much! 

Will this not work in IE6 because of width:auto? Does one need to declare the 
height:1%, and is this for the HasLayout trick?

In case it matters: that won't work properly in IE6.

 Dear Shawn and Georg,
 
 Thanks so much!
 
 Will this not work in IE6 because of width:auto? Does one need to 
 declare the height:1%, and is this for the HasLayout trick?

IE/win (all versions) needs a 'hasLayout'[1] trigger on that #floatwrap,
and 'overflow: hidden' only acts as such a trigger in IE7, while
'height: 1%' acts as a 'hasLayout' trigger in all versions.

The 'width: auto' is default, and doesn't have to be written since
IE/win understands that much anyway.

Note that the combination of 'overflow: hidden' and 'height: (any
value)' may result in hidden content in some even older IE/win versions.

The safest solution is actually to write two sets of styles...

#floatwrap {
overflow: hidden;
margin: 10px;
border: thin solid #FF6600;
}

* html #floatwrap {
overflow: visible;
height: 1%;
}

...to make it work reliable in all IE/win versions.

regards
Georg

 Okay, thanks for all the suggestions. The problem is that I don't know

Looks like when you made your last edit you nixed an ';'.

.left55 {
margin: 10px;
padding: 5px add the ';' and it works fine ;)
float: left;
padding: 0px 2px;
border: 1px solid #FF6600;
}

note: you've got padding specified twice in that rule.

The styles should work for your video page as well (although I confess 
I've never tried it with embedded quicktimes before).
