Re: [css-d] centering block elements in IE 6.0 fails

2008-05-20 Thread Daniel Kabs
Hello,

almost two years ago I had trouble horizontally centering an absolutely 
positioned element:

  The page works on Firefox and Konqueror but not on IE 6.0 (SP2).
 ...
 IE6 can *not* relate A:P elements to opposite sides of
 parent-container, so only one of these properties is used...
left: 0;
right: 0;
 ...not both. IE ends up positioning '.center' according to 'left: 0;'
 and ignores 'right: 0;'.
 Result: the auto-margins becomes useless in that browser.

I found a workaround by setting the element to relative positioning and 
wrapping it with an absolutely positioned element instead. This now works 
on IE 6 and 7, too.

I updated the test page and the css wiki page accordingly.

Cheers
Daniel

[css-d] Block elements blooey

2008-05-20 Thread Kim Brooks Wei
I've gotten myself in trouble with this layout, and I can't figure my 
way out of it, although I've been trying for a while.

This is what I want the layout to be:

* Textured body borders right and left and ivory content box centered 
between them
This works now but I don't why. I can't see where I've 
defined right and left margins.
* The logo should center to the page
* The left nav box is in the right place
* Everything else should center to the area between the left nav box 
and right border of content box.
This isn't happening. Some items almost center, some don't 
center at all. Apparently the uls are pushing their contents to the 
right.

TIA for help.

[css-d] ie problems with text spacing

2008-05-20 Thread Melinda Odom
Hi,

Can someone look at this page in the ie browser?
http://www.eddieandalice.com/index.html

I simply cannot get the text to be the same distance from the bottom  
of each box with all of the browsers.  If there is a way to do this  
please tell me.

Thank you!

Melinda,

On a 1680/116dpi laptop it is necessary (for me) to bump the font-size 
to read the text.  Plus 2 font-scaling in FF exposes the structural 
weakness of the layout. Setting height on containers sometimes causes 
grave issues as the text expands it has no place to go except to shoot 
out the bottom. You might try deleting the restrictive heights, and 
declare padding-bottom in em on those containers.

[css-d] Broken borders in IE 6 and the third column placement

2008-05-20 Thread Sohail Aboobaker
Gurus,

We are trying to design a simple CSS based layout but it turns out nothing
is as simple :). The design can be seen at
http://www.newwavecell.com/design/Index.html

There are two issues:

a. The border lines are broken when we scroll down using IE. It works fine
with Mozilla.
b. The content in third column always shows up in the bottom and we can't
make it to appear at the top.

What could be the reason and how can we fix this?

Thanks for your help.

Regards
Sohail

There are anumber of ways to get any column longest/equal height 
columns, that will function with font-scaling, see:

Add...

#content {position: relative;}

...to correct IE's stacking bugs.

 b. The content in third column always shows up in the bottom and we
 can't make it to appear at the top.

Rearrange markup so you have...

div id=pannelone
.
/div

div id=panneltwo
.
/div
div id=content
.
/div
div id=footer
.
/div


...as that's the only order that'll work with such a margin-centered in
the flow main-content column. Both floating columns must come first in
the source-code.


Also, add...

#pannelone {clear: both;}

...to prevent the line-up from breaking in decent browsers when
subjected to font-resizing.

regards
Georg

Re: [css-d] Nested div break in IE7

 Dear all,

  I have been a subscriber to the css-d list for a long while and always
  found it an interesting read. I'm not a web pro, my background for a
  while was a tester on a large travel website, so I have a fair-ish idea
  of things.

  I'm building a site at the moment as per below url:

  http://beta.bedazzled.name

  It looks fine in FF and Opera, a little broken in Konqueror and
  completely broken in IE7. I use Linux and I don't have IE7 at home
  (though I am looking at installing ies4linux), but I've had a look at work.

  It should look like the below mockup I built:

  http://beta.bedazzled.name/mockup/mockup.png

  The main background for the body is a tiled 1px image, as are
  backgrounds for both nested div's, if there is another way of doing it
  to avoid this any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi Daniel,
I would strongly recommend recreating all your bakground images wider
than 1px. Tiling tiny images slos some browsers to a crawl, as they
have to process each instance of the tiled image. With a vertical
gradient in a .png or .gif image you will find that an image 20px or
even 100px wide is not signifiantly larger. (If they are jpeg images
they shouldn't be!)

Angus,

Its no larger in IE/7 than FF on this end. Check your IE/7 settings to 
see  that the text-size is set to medium. You may have it set to 
larger or largest.

Since IE7 behaves the same as FF2 and Safari, but not Opera, it seems
apparent that FF3  Opera may have a bug. I can't put my finger on the why of
the behavior you see, but http://fm.no-ip.com/auth/tmp/crf_header.html works
around whatever it is.

Note same behavior as FF3b5 in FF3rc1.
