[css-d] A little border dispute

2007-12-20 Thread Trevor Nicholls
Hi

I am having problems formatting a copyright footer on my pages. A minimal
page and CSS file may be seen at http://trevor.freehomepage.com/copy.html
and http://trevor.freehomepage.com/test.css

(sorry about the advertising).

The browser is IE as my pages are delivered through an IE component inside
another application.

What I want is to see a single pale line above the copyright block, but the
black border from a normal table appears to be trumping the colour setting
I have applied to a .copyright table.

The copyleft block appears as I would expect; the border: 2px solid green
is applied correctly. The ordinary table border colour is not being
carried through in this case.

If I insert a border: none; in the .copyright table style ahead of the
border-top (hoping that this will kill the black border) I still see a black
top border.

What is going on? Can some kind person explain what I obviously don't
understand about inheritance here?

Thanks

Cheers
Trevor

These are the CSS rules applied to the table with the top black border:

.copyright table {
border-bottom:medium none;
border-left:medium none;
border-right:medium none;
}
table {
border:thin solid black;
border-collapse:collapse;
margin-bottom:0.5em;
margin-top:0.5em;
}
table {
font-size:1em;
}

None of them override the black border applied by the table declaration

Adding border-color:#AA; to the first declaration will solve the problem.

The Firebug extension to Firefox is very useful when it comes to 
troubleshooting this kind of problem

Re: [css-d] IE Mac doesn't like Georgia

 It looks like in IE Mac, display:inline-block and float fail to
 enclose floats if  Georgia is used as font-family (a couple of
 other fonts seem to create the same issue).

 http://tjkdesign.com/articles/block-formatting_context/ieMac.asp

As far as I know, IE Mac has always problems when a float encloses a
second float embedded within some text. Depending on the width of
the external float the enclosing works or not.
When you change font the width changes, and this makes to problem to
appear and disappear. If you change the text zoom in the browser,
there is a similar effect: at some sizes the problem is present, at
other it is not (whichever the font-family.)
I have an old page here [1], with the width of the external float set
at 80%.  When resizing the browser width, the enclosing sometimes
works, sometimes doesn't.
I haven't tested with inline-block, but there is probably something similar.
(I never tried to study this more deeply, since a clearing br solves
the problem.)

Kind regards,
Bruno

Hi Thierry, I hope your not advocating the use of invalid CSS.

Setting hasLayout in IE 7

.newBFC {
overflow: hidden;
_overflow: visible;
_overflow-x:hidden;
_height: 0;
*min-height: 0;
}

The last line is not needed to set hasLayout in IE7 as overflow:hidden already 
does this. The universal selector and the underscore is invalid CSS. For the 
good browsers you can have.

.newBFC {overflow: hidden;}

For IE6 and earlier (hidden from IE mac)

/*  \*/
* html .newBFC {
overflow: visible;
overflow-x:hidden;
height: 0;
}
/*  */

For IE mac (hidden from other browsers)

/*\*//*/ 
.newBFC {display: inline-block;}
/*  */

Having such ugly hacks keeps people aware that sooner or later they can remove 
these hacks from their CSS as these legacy browsers fade away.

Re: [css-d] Revisit our navigation layout semantic.

2007-12-20 Thread James Leslie
Firstly, I feel that the attack on David is wholly unjustified, and the
general tone of the mail is unlikely to endear your views to the
mindless majority (of which I appear to be one), however I do not wish
to be in any way involved in a flaming war, and do have a couple of
questions about your post :-)

Can you clarify why exactly list items are parasites?
Which browsers stumble with the selector parasites of 'div ul', or
similar?
Also... You say Apart from a garbling war between M and A to show off
the best proprietary fit, there is a much easier and non-confrontational
way to code css navigation. That method replaces OL, UL and DT with
DIV.

I can't see this method alluded to anywhere Could you expand on
this?

Cordially,

James

Re: [css-d] CSS Hacks

2007-12-20 Thread Gabriele Romanato
Hi.
Hacks involve CSS parsing. there are tow kind of hacks: valid hacks (which
validate)
and invalid hacks (which don't validate).

1. * html element
Match IE6, 5.

2. *+html element
Match IE7

3. element {property /**/: value}
avoid IE6 to see the rule.

These are valid hacks. Note that a css scanner will ignore the above
constructs and mark
them as error (for instance, Firefox marks them with the NS_ERROR flag). you
can find
more valids hacks on www.brunildo.org/test

Which part of the page has the expanding menu? The navigation bar across the

the broadcast hyperlinks do not work on IE 7 either.

 Having such ugly hacks keeps people aware that sooner or later they can

I used to think that way, I used to use Conditional Comment to serve just 1

the best approach (at least it is for me). The above is extra bytes and
create one extra rule. I never cared for CSS validation.

Thanks for the heads up :)

Thierry responded:

Speaking for myself, I care for CSS validation, in the way I care
to spell check my documents. But I don't regard either check as the 
final arbiter of what goes into the a document.

If I write about the Sheraton Centre in New York, for example,
my (US) spell checker tells me that Centre is misspelled. Still,
I see no need to correct the spelling since the sign on the complex
spells it that way.

In the same way, I don't hide proprietary CSS from the validator
in order to pass validation. I don't see the point, as the document
gets the invalid code anyway.

Likewise, if you need to hack the dead, what's the difference
between using a leading underscore and using the star html aka. 
Tan hack? (And since when has the universal selector been invalid?)

Yes, the underscore does not validate, while the Tan hack does.
So what?

David

Hi Juliann,

I'm not sure why you would want to make so many different stylesheets in the 
first place, since you can make an almost 100% accurate stylesheet with one 
file to cover all browsers, but that's a different thing.

Anyway... I think your css is in the wrong directory...
You're using relative URLs. The css you're calling should be in 
www.pcg-advisors.com/new/theteam. It is in www.pcg-advisors.com/new

[css-d] Centering a div with an image

2007-12-20 Thread Jan Erik Moström
OK, this is probably really, really simple but I can't for the 
life of me figure out how to do it, my only excuse is that I'm 
no CSS expert.

The effect I'm trying to achieve is a photo page. It should have 
a dark background color, a photo background in a lighter color 
with the image and caption text.

What I've done is this:

div id=singlephoto
 div id=photobackground
 img 
src=foto5/2007/2007-05-10_fritids/2007-05-10_09-46-46_549.jpg 
alt= width=800 height=535 /
 h1Någon rubrik/h1
 p
 Här kommer nu själva beskrivningen
 /p
 /div
/div

My problem is how I center the photobackground div, I've played 
with various way of doing it but I can only figure out how to do 
it if I know the width of the of the photo (this is going to be 
used in a gallery generating program over which I have no control):

singlephoto
{
 position: absolute;
 left: 50%;
 margin-left: -410px;
}

So my question is: Is it possible to center the photobackground 
without knowing the size of the image? If so, can anyone please 
give me an hint on how to do it?

[css-d] Need footer assistance please

2007-12-20 Thread Big Moxy
url - http://projects.missioninternet.com/proweb/index.php 
css - http://projects.missioninternet.com/proweb/css/proweb.css 

The page validates as HTML 4.01 strict. 

1) This occurs on both IE 7 and FF - I have a curved bottom border 
that I want to place right after the footer text. The border graphic 
consists of 3 files - left curve, right curve and a straight line in 
between. The problem is that it does not center. I placed the html 
between the end of the footer pad div (has blue border for now) and 
the end of the footer div. The bottom border is 810px in total - 15, 
780 and 15. 

2) On FF the footer is at the bottom of the page while on IE there is 
considerable space between the footer and the bottom of the page. I 
want the page to end with the curved bottom border and the footer text 
right above it (like FF). 

Could someone please shed some light on these issues? I'm baffled. 

Thank you in advance! 
Tim

The first thing I would try is setting position:relative -- that makes
IE6 put it in it's own stack order - I believe it has to be lower in
the source for that to work most of the time, though.

Re: [css-d] Centering a div with an image

2007-12-20 Thread Gunlaug Sørtun
Jan Erik Moström wrote:

 So my question is: Is it possible to center the photobackground 
 without knowing the size of the image? If so, can anyone please 
 give me an hint on how to do it?

Centering an element is easy enough, but the actual solution depends on 
whether you want to center only the image or the entire div.

Block-elements - preferably non-positioned (no 'position: absolute;' 
used) - can be horizontally centered by declaring 'margin: 0 auto;' on 
the element itself.

Inline-elements - that's what an image is by default - can be centered 
by declaring 'text-align: center;' on the container for that image. 
That's then often followed by declaring 'text-align: left;' on any 
text-carrying elements inside the same container, so only the image gets 
centered.


If you want an exact solution for your case, then you must provide a 
link to a live example. We need to see what other styles and conditions 
it's subjected to.

As an example of how you can manipulate positioning/centering of images, 
the following may be of some use...

Then you must give the div surrounding those bottom-borders the same
width - 810px, or else the 'margin:0 auto 0 auto;' will have no effect.

In addition to that, add...

#bottomBorderLeft {
clear: both;
}

...and you'll get the intended line-up and centering.

A more normal way to add borders would be to include the bottom-border
parts in the main page-container - without that extra container-div, and
just clear them below the footer. Then they will center along with the
page without any further styling.

 2) On FF the footer is at the bottom of the page while on IE there is
  considerable space between the footer and the bottom of the page. I 
 want the page to end with the curved bottom border and the footer 
 text right above it (like FF).

Delete...

#pageDef {
height: 100%;
}

...to prevent IE7 from stretching that element too far. I know that'll
destroy your attempt on full window-height, but since that part is
interpreted strangely by IE7 anyway I don't think much is lost.

[css-d] Direction: rtl inverting an image?

2007-12-20 Thread Anne E. Shroeder
This is too strange.  In IE5.5, some background images that are contained in 
a div defined with direction:rtl are being inverted and in some cases even 
turned inside out.  I want to know how CSS can corrupt an actual image 
file!?!

The screen caps showing the correct and incorrect image placements are here:
http://www.ddiv.com/clients/voa/final_builds_modified_110107/screencaps.htm

The file without the weird images (where code works) is here: 
http://www.ddiv.com/clients/voa/final_builds_modified_110107/test.html
And the file with the .headlineListCalloutSide text called, where the 
problem occurs, is here: 
http://www.ddiv.com/clients/voa/final_builds_modified_110107/test_problem.html

WHen this piece of CSS code is called, the images break:
.headlineListCalloutSide {
 width: 190px;
 float: left;
 margin: 10px 2px 0 0;
 padding: 0 0px 0 0;
 direction:rtl;
}

It makes no sense!?!  Am I not seeing a typo somewhere?

Right, well I've just figured out the fix - just don't know WHY it made the

margin: 10px 2px 0 0;
from the code I mention below, the graphics right themselves.  Anyone

[css-d] Picture flopping out of div box

2007-12-20 Thread Bob Cohen
Please take a look at this:

http://3mb.mojotools.com/pub/services/services.html

This layout has a liquid center.  As I expand the view port, the box  
created by the div shrinks up past the image.  I'm not really sure  
what needs doing to remedy this problem.  Any help would be appreciated.

Simply based on your screen shots alone, I'd say that the images weren't being 
turned inside out, but were instead positioned differently, and repeating. 
Since the area they were to display in was so small, you got the repeat in the 
middle of the image in that browser, and thus saw the end of one repetition and 
the beginning of the next, which made them look rather odd.

Just a guess, though.

The image is floated. When the parent box is large, the height of the  
non-floated content is smaller than the height of the image, and the  
parent box does not expand to contain the image. That is the normal  
behaviour, given that floated elements are taken out of the flow.
You'll need to read up on the subject of 'containing' floats. This

[css-d] IE Windows is playing tricks on me!

2007-12-20 Thread patrick mattison
I'm having problems with IE Win rendering my page. Can anyone offer  
me a clue???
The whole content section gets bumped below the menu, so i tried  
adding a style sheet for IE and added:
  #content {margin-left: 0;}

that brought it up to where it's supposed to be except It looks like  
the #content area is about 10px to the left.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
