[css-d] Hover delay

2008-04-24 Thread Alan K Baker
Hi all.

I'm looking for a way to delay the action of a 'hover' detection for a photo 
gallery. What I want to do is to move the mouse pointer across a block of 
thumbnails and then have an 'auto-enlargement' appear over the entire block, 
ONLY after the pointer has been stationary for 500mS or so. Then when the 
pointer is moved away from the enlargement, the thumbnail block should revert 
to its former state.

I've put a rough example at:

http://www.webbwize.co.uk/Test_Area/AllSaints/scripts/gallery.html

which is far from satisfactory and contains no real positioning for the 
'enlargement'. I don't necessarily want to 'fix' the current code, but to find 
a way of navigating to the center thumbnails without triggering the hover 
state, which in any case at present is too unstable.

Ideas welcome.

Regards, 
 
Alan.

[css-d] Does all elements include head etc.?

2008-04-24 Thread Pentasis
If a CSS property is said to apply to *all elements*, does this include 
head, meta, link, base, style and title?
I know, these are not rendered visually so the question is a bit strange 
perhaps. It is just that I am making a table with all element, attribute and 
property relationships and I would like it to be complete; no matter how 
strange.

Re: [css-d] Override CSS Line

2008-04-24 Thread Foundation Flash
Victor,
firstly, this is the first time I have ever responded to a query, so bear with 
me and expect to receive an email from someone else refuting all I say here, 
but here goes anyway:

1) If it's not a typo, your circular brackets: ( and ) need to be curly : { and 
} around the width:5em; bit.

2) .menu ul #AB means (as I understand it) and element with an id of AB 
_inside_ a ul. Remove the space between ul and #AB to make it mean the ul with 
an id of #AB;

3) If that doesn't fix it, it will be due to the fact that the first section 
gives the width to the link, not the ul. In this case you will want to override 
the links' width (not the uls')

4) If it still isn't working, you have a problem with specificity. I'm not an 
expert, but you may want to add in as much information as you can. 

If you need to follow all 4, you would be left with:
 
.menu ul#AB li a, .menu ul#AB li a:visited{width: 5em;}

Hope that lot helps,

Harry

Yes; no reason why not.

It depends. In terms of CSS, they conceptually have display: none set 
for them. If you set display to another value, the situation changes. 
Whether browsers actually support this is a different issue. To some 
extent they do.

[css-d] tiling and css sprites

2008-04-24 Thread Aurelie Gaudry
I'm using a css sprite and there's a 1px wide by 35px tall image in it
intended to be repeated horizontally as a background.  So I'm positioning it
like so:

#ft .menu{
background-image:url(master_sprite.gif);
background-position:-844px -177px;
background-repeat:repeat-x;
height:35px;
width:940px;
}

But, of course, when I repeat it, instead of tiling that one pixel, it
displays everything to the right of it in the sprite.

I'm not that familiar with some of the other css background declarations.
Does anyone know offhand if something exists that I can use to get it to
tile that one 1x35 area of the sprite?

Thanks,

Aurelie

[css-d] IE 6 is butchering my pages.

2008-04-24 Thread Jess Jacobs
Hi all,

A small troubleshooting problem that is driving me CRAZY:

http://www.akisma.com/design/carrot/

Renders fine in every other browser I've checked, but in IE6, the home
page renders fine, aside from a little bordering around the photo that
looks trashy (any suggestions?) but all the other pages get their main
content bounced out of the main div. Any ideas? I've validated,
checked doctypes, etc, but I'm not a master at this and I'm trying to
improve my browser-argument skills. Also, I haven't checked it in IE7
since I don't have a unique copy of windows (I develop on a mac), so
I'm not sure if it's being screwed over there, too.

Any help would appreciated, especially pointers to articles with a
rundown of IE problems in addition to this specific-case advice.

Thanks all!
Jess

[css-d] CSS Layout problems with Safari

2008-04-24 Thread lisa wong
Hi there,

I'm having layout issues in Safari ver 3.1.1 on Windows, but not IE 7, FF,
or Safari ver 3.04 on a Mac. In simple areas like this:
#menu{
margin-top:55px;
margin-left:300px;
font-family: Papyrus;
font-size: 14pt;
color:#FF;
width:475px;
text-align: left;
}

The issue seems to be with the margin-left and width properties. Items
layout differently in Safari v. 3.1.1 on windows than the other browsers.
Also seeing issues with margin-top spacing. Does anyone have any ideas on
what may be going on here?  Or how to call a style-sheet for Safari only? I
now how to call one for IE and its different versions, but not finding
anything on safari.

Thanks!

[css-d] Positioning- relative or absolute?

2008-04-24 Thread Tawnya
Hi list,  I've been lurking like a mad fiend for awhile here and I have
to say I have found it to be very rewarding. In fact reading css-d is my
coffee break reward! LOL

I have almost run to deadline and would like to be a bit more flexible
in the placement of the gallery and popup box. I would like to be able
to position the box relative to the gallery div, but I seem to only be
able to get it positioned  relatively or absolutely to the hyperlinked
thumbnail. Every which way but where I want it. My best solution was to
place the gallery at the top of the content and position the popup image
fixed to the page also at the top.

I also am having trouble with loading this page and crashing one of my
browsers (FF 2.0.0.14) on my machine but not on a laptop running the
same browser and OS. The page runs fine from my own HD but crashes when
live. I need to know if this is just my machine or not (I apologize in
advance if it crashes yours). I have only tested it in FF and IE6 so
far.

Any comments or critiques that could help me write better CSS are
appreciated :)

Apparently firefox doesn't recognize percentage based sizes unless its got a

I think your response is quite cogent. However, I had all 4 correct. Perhaps
you were looking at an eariler post; I remember having a space between the
ul and #AB before.

I think the problem lies in the fact (as stated somewhere previously in this
post) that Stu´s css menu places the entire menu in a ul and then each
element of the menu that has a drop-down in a nested ul. Thus, if, for
example, I set the ul width to 100%, some browsers (like certain versions of
IE7 but_not_all) fill the entire menu with the first element, while others
give each element a line the height as set by the ul, and others render all
the elements in a single line like I want them to. But of course, I want
them to show up right everywhere, right? I mean, that´s the idea :)
TIA,

[css-d] CSS Layout problems

2008-04-24 Thread bookpage
My first time to post and I hope I am asking in the correct way. I am 
have trouble trying to debug my CSS when there is an error between IE 
and FF. I have tried to use Firebug, but just can't seem to understand 
how to use it.

There are several differences between IE and FF on this page 
http://tavbooks.com/test/test.html.

FF has a small space at top before heading and IE does not (I would like 
to keep the space).
The menu is not showing correctly (it has double the height) in IE but 
is showing correctly in FF.
The content box is wider in IE than in FF.
The hr above the footer menu is not showing in FF but is in IE.

Can someone take a look and show me how to find these errors? Would 
greatly appreciate the help.

[css-d] IE6 and 5.5 issue with sidebar

Hi all,
 
My website, http://www.pixelagogo.com is not acting correct in IE6 or
5.5 yet fine in all others tested.  When I did a browser check, these
are the two that are giving me fits.
 
The issue is that the sidebar div doesn't align at the top as it does in
all the other sections of the site.  It is just this home page that is
having the issues.  I was using Firebug to try to see what is up but
can't seem to find what is different on the home page vs. all the others
that is causing this.
 
If anyone can scan it and see what might be happening I would sure
appreciate it.

Re: [css-d] IE6 and 5.5 issue with sidebar

2008-04-24 Thread Valerie Wininger
Cory,

It looks like you've got a case of the doubled-margin bug:
http://www.positioniseverything.net/explorer/doubled-margin.html
You've got a margin-right:15px applied to your sidebar div.  This is
doubling in IE6 which doesn't leave enough room for the sidebar up next to
the content where it belongs so it is being pushed down.  To fix, just add
display:inline; to the css for the sidebar div.

http://www.quirksmode.org/css/clearing.html

In your case there are a couple of things you can do. On your #main  
div add an overflow: hidden and a width of 100% such as:

#main {
background-color: #f2e7a7;
padding: 5px;
padding-bottom: 20px;
border: #A09460 solid 1px;
overflow: hidden; /* added this */
width: 100%; /* and this */
}

this is one way but another way might be to use the * hack such as  
this. Your #main would remain the same, but add the following just  
below it.

#main { background-color: #f2e7a7;
padding: 5px;
padding-bottom: 20px;
border: #A09460 solid 1px; }

* html #main {
height: 1%;
}

OR

* html #main {
zoom: 1;
}

OR

* html #main {
display: inline-block;
}

The * html hack makes it so IE6 will obey any rules set inside the *  
html hack.

I hope this info if helpful

 Hi all,

 A small troubleshooting problem that is driving me CRAZY:

 http://www.akisma.com/design/carrot/

 Renders fine in every other browser I've checked, but in IE6, the home
 page renders fine, aside from a little bordering around the photo that
 looks trashy (any suggestions?) but all the other pages get their main
 content bounced out of the main div. Any ideas? I've validated,
 checked doctypes, etc, but I'm not a master at this and I'm trying to
 improve my browser-argument skills. Also, I haven't checked it in IE7
 since I don't have a unique copy of windows (I develop on a mac), so
 I'm not sure if it's being screwed over there, too.

 Any help would appreciated, especially pointers to articles with a
 rundown of IE problems in addition to this specific-case advice.

 Thanks all!
 Jess

Re: [css-d] CSS Layout problems with Safari

 Hi there,

 I'm having layout issues in Safari ver 3.1.1 on Windows, but not IE 7, FF,
 or Safari ver 3.04 on a Mac. In simple areas like this:
 #menu{
 margin-top:55px;
 margin-left:300px;
 font-family: Papyrus;
 font-size: 14pt;
 color:#FF;
 width:475px;
 text-align: left;
 }

 The issue seems to be with the margin-left and width properties. Items
 layout differently in Safari v. 3.1.1 on windows than the other browsers.
 Also seeing issues with margin-top spacing. Does anyone have any ideas on
 what may be going on here?  Or how to call a style-sheet for Safari only? I
 now how to call one for IE and its different versions, but not finding
 anything on safari.

 Thanks!

Hi all,

I suppose my question was too general to get useful answers. This time
its more concrete, you can try it:

Lisa,

I get the same results as you on the menu in  Safari PC and Safari  Mac. 
The structure is brittle. The page (all pages) loads in the PC with the 
menu on two lines. (minus) -1 font-scaling corrects it and puts it on 
one line. On the Mac (higher dpi) the menu loads on one line. (plus) +1 
font-scaling breaks the menu -- drops out of its containing division -- 
and puts it on two lines. Not much you can do, imo, other than allow for 
greater width (decease the menu margin-left), and provide no overly 
restrictive height declaration. Adding padding-top to the copyright line 
should give more spacing of it for both OS.

[css-d] IE 7 6 not behaving

2008-04-24 Thread Terri Chicko
Hi
I finally have my template layout sort of working on this page  
correctly for FF and safari.
but it falls apart in IE's. the content box drops to the bottom of the  
page and so does the body text.
The Image needs to stick to the left nav.

Could someone every so kindly take a look?

Thanks

That is the correct and expected behaviour. Gecko, WebKit and Opera

I hope no-one will mind an off-topic reply, as I think you are genuinely 
looking for an answer in CSS, but the answer's really in HTML. I think the 
simplest answer to your question is to use a br / after each image and 
before each span like this example (first line of your td code:

tda href=# target=_blankimg src=images/starledger_icon.gif alt=Star 
Ledger Logo //aa href=# target=_blankbr /The Star Ledger/abr 
/spanFREE ADS*/span/td

Re: [css-d] Need Text To Wrap Underneath Images

2008-04-24 Thread Elli Vizcaino
I did a Googling and found this: 
http://www.tjkdesign.com/articles/how_to_style_thumbnail_and_caption.asp
from one of our very own on the list. I had started
out with a UL of images and links and it wasn't
working especially to achieve the alignment the
designers were looking for, so my boss instructed me
to revert to tables for that section and which I
wasn't crazy about since those images and links aren't
tabular data but, based on what I just glanced at,
looks like I'll be able to achieve what I'm looking to
do, with a DL. Will have to give it a try!
