Re: [css-d] Rounded Corners -- Simplest Way
On 7/8/08, Sohail Aboobaker [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, What is the simplest way to create rounded corners using CSS. I saw a technique using 3 extra div tags for three corner images (left-bottom, right-bottom, left top) which seemed cumbersome and the posting was old. Are there any newer and simpler ways of creating rounded boxes containers? Depends on your requirements: The need for multiple elements is based on the idea that using background images as corners is morally better than adding foreground images (and looks less ugly in the absence of stylesheets) - you need one element to hang each background on*. If you have a fluid-width, fluid height box, you therefore need four elements. If the box is fixed-width, you only need two. If it has a fixed height as well, you can get away with one, but I'd only risk this on an element containing nothing but a single image. If the element has borders, it gets more complex: I've seen methods using 8 elements (just as bad as a table) or using positioning jiggles with mixed success. The wiki has a pretty comprehensive round-up of methods. *Until everyone implements the backgrounds module of css3, at which point rounded corners will become much easier, but I'm picking that everyone will support border-radius before that. -- Richard Grevers, New Plymouth, New Zealand Dramatic Design www.dramatic.co.nz __ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/

[css-d] Reference docs for Internet Explorer Mobile?
Hi, I'm working on slowly making an iPhone web application into a more generic cross-browser mobile web application. At the moment I am trying to get it to work and look nice on Internet Explorer Mobile Edition. I intend to initially target Windows Mobile 6.x, with a view to adding support for 5 if we think it needs it. Unfortunately I am finding very little help online on what Internet Explorer Mobile supports in terms of CSS. For example, it doesn't *seem* to support IE conditional comments. I can't seem to find a way to adjust the font-size, which is a major problem as the font-size is ridiculously huge on the Windows Mobile device I'm testing on at the moment. Any pointers would be very gratefully received. TIA.

Hi there, Many thanks for for your kind help. It was good to see what you removed and what was added :) To me, the initial typography is too big. But as you say, it's a personal thing. You have been very helpful. Thank you Kind regards Karl /After Philippe/, and with correction of the quirksmode issue he raised, how about we take it up a couple of notches beyond that and try to provide what is also needed to make it work beyond removing the comment above the doctype, validate the markup, ditch some of the redundant and unnecessary code; and, as important (to me, at least) since you posted on another another thread yesterday regarding typography, attempt to make the page readable for children of all ages?

[css-d] Opera sees content and draws a scrollbar, others ok
Hi. I've got a site with a fixed (em-based) height (I know, but the client insisted). It makes use of overflow: auto to cope with long passages of text. On some of my text links I've included supplemental information that becomes visible only on :focus (the mouse users generally get similarly-worded tooltips instead). An example markup would be: a href=#foo title=this is valid anchor textspan class=onfocustextthis is valid/spananchor text/a CSS: a .onfocustext {position: absolute; left: -px;} a .onfocustext:focus {position: relative; left: 0;} This works fine in browsers including (for a change) IE. Except opera. On pages where these focus-enhanced links appear within the overflow: auto parent div, Opera seems intent on seeing invisible content and drawing a scrollbar. Also, clicking a link designed to jump to a fragment further down in the overflowed content scrolls the entire browser window, not the scroll bar on the overflowing div. 'Focus-enhanced' links *not* inside the overflow: auto div do not trigger this phenomenon. I was initially seeing this behaviour on webkit browsers and Firefox as well, until I realised that the parent div lacked a position: relative rule. That corrected the problem in those browsers, but I can't work out why Opera is still complaining. I don't know whether it's a bug or whether it's reacting to something in the CSS that the other browsers are more forgiving of. An example page giving the trouble: http://novatest.sharkattack.co.uk/development.php I'm seeing the same thing in both mac and windows versions of opera (v. 9.5.1) Can anyone help? -- Rick Lecoat www.sharkattack.co.uk __ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/

Hi Sohail, I would guess that you have padding on the LI tag or margining on the A if the whole background of the A isn't matching the whole background of the LI. Another way around this is through the use of an HTC behavior file for IE6. You can see this implemented here: http://theholiergrail.com/tests/cssmenu/index.html That file allows IE6 to emulate the *:hover functionality. Feel free to download the csshover.htc file from the same directory or google whatever:hover to download it directly from the author. Hope it helps.

I am using a Mac and primarily used Safari and FF 3.0 to check my work. The page looks okay on my screen, except in Safari it looks like the red border around the left navigation links doesn't go all the way down to encompass the border. Also, I was able to look at the page today in IE7 and the body is not next to the left navigation links like it's supposed to be, the links are stacked on top. What am I doing wrong? http://www.prairiedreamstudio.com/testindex.html http://www.prairiedreamstudio.com/css/layout.css Thanks for the help! Carol Carol: Fix this in your CSS first, #bodytext{ float: clear; ... should be ... #bodytext{clear: left; and fix the color in your footer, I take it you mean color: #CC or color: #999CCC You've got a number of validation errors, most likely unrelated to your issue above. http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.prairiedreamstudio.com%2Ftestindex.html Best, Peter www.fatpawdesign.com __ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/

This is blowing the doctype away in IE 6. Secondly, #banner_container is floating, and #sub is not, so you can either set #sub to float, or say clear: both; to get it to drop down to the bottom edge of #banner_container Third, a similar issue is there because of the floating #banner_container. IE and Firefox differ on how they handle the height of objects with floating objects inside them. A floating object however will expand based on the floating objects inside it in all browsers, so you should experiment with these, or set fixed heights up there in the navigation to get around it. Fourth, it looks like there is heavy whitespace around the !-- end tabs -- and 'div id=sub' section which was causing me some hassle in IE 7. Maybe that will send you in the right direction -Adam Ducker __ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
