[css-d] IE6 a:hover issue - all images disappear!!

2008-07-24 Thread Blake
Hi list,

I have an issue in IE6 and I can't find any information about it online.

I have a sub-nav list with a bunch of links and I have a background
image that is set to appear on the links on hover. In IE6, when you
hover over the links all over the images on the page (but not
background images) disappear and they don't reappear under any
circumstances (apart from a refresh of course). The bug seems to occur
if any background property is set on hover e.g.

#sub_nav li a:hover { background: no-repeat; }

I am really lost as to why this is happening. Any solutions?

The code for the nav and sub-nav is below.

Thanks,
Blake

Dear List,

I've got a template which I intent to use for our intranet, but in 
Firefox 3 there's a strange whitespace on top of the template:
http://ebrius.nl/fileadmin/template/mem_don/3/
And I can't seem to fix it. Iexplore 7, 6 render it correctly.

Anyone know what causes this whitespace?

Try this: h1{margin:0}
It looks like collapsing margins to me.

Hope it helps.

The usual thing, and IE (6+7) is wrong. Gecko, WebKit, Opera look all  
the same and are correct.
The issue is one of margin-collapsing (-through). The margin-top on  
the h2 is outside of the blue box (#header).
That doesn't happen in IE, 'cause you have declared a 'height' on the  
div (triggers 'hasLayout'), and that prevents the margin of collapsing  
through.

Try adding a 1px border at the top of the div. That will fix the issue.

 #flashbox is positioned in a way that causes part of it to display outside
 your body, while #topbar is fully contained in your body. You have also
 applied padding to #topbar, and it contains no content. height:152px might
 accomplish what you want visually without giving you grief when you add
 content.

 I echo *several* other people on the list: generate an image (using your
 favorite digital tool) of what you want your page to look like when
 finished. Then we will have a better idea of how to help you style it
 cleanly.

 --G

 To everyone: It is #topbar that if you resize your browser it won't hug
 the right hand side of the browser.


 Christopher,

#topbar is the item I mention. If you use Firefox and either Firebug or the
web developer plugin, you can remove #flashbox from the html (using Firebug)
or the styles for #flashbox (using Pedrick's excellent CSS editor), you will
see that the #topbar goes to 100% of the body width. The 500px left-margin
on #flashbox is your offending item.

If you use Firebug and select the inspect option, you'll be able to
mouse-over the various block items in your page. Resize the window to a
smaller than 500px + 430px (width of #flashbox). See that the #topbar is no
longer 100% width of viewport. Start the inspection, slowing moving around
the screen. When you highlight the body object, you'll notice that #topbar
is 100% of body, but #flashbox extends outside the body.

I am saying your problem is not in the styling of #topbar, but the styles
set on #flashbox.

As an FYI, #topbar DOES remain at the right edge of the viewport in
FF2 and Safari on Mac.

I've been hesitant to offer anything to this thread due to the extreme
vagueness of it most of the time. However, I will add a couple things
that will help any who are trying to read and analyze your CSS.  If
you are determined to write out rules longhand that have a shorthand
equivalent, then it's very nice to keep like items together.  I offer
this from your CSS as an example:

#gallerybox {
background-color: #FF;
border-right-width: 200px;
height: 300px;
margin-left: 135px;
margin-top: -35px;
border-left-width: 0px;
padding-left: 35px;
padding-right: 150px;
left: 40px;
border-top-width: 0px;

The rule above includes several border property:value pairs that are
sprinkled throughout the rule rather than being together. To me, this
is harder to wade through than putting the like properties together.
Even better, just use border-width: 0 200px 0 0 to accomplish the same
thing.  Or, yet another option is to just declare the one side that
has a border width unless the element you're applying the rule to has
a default border.  If not, there's no need for the '0' values.

As a side note, '0' values on anything don't require a unit (px, em,
%, etc).  0 is just 0.

Another small thing that can shrink your CSS.  Any hexadecimal numbers
(#ffccff or #003311) that have three pairs of identical numbers (ff cc
ff or 00 33 11 from the examples just given) can be reduced to a 3
digit version (#fcf or #031).

Shorthand notation is wonderful for shrinking CSS files!  Why use:

border-top-width: 2em;
border-right-width: 2em;
border-bottom-width: 2em;
border-left-width: 2em;
border-top-style: solid;
border-right-style: solid;
border-bottom-style: solid;
border-left-style: solid;
border-top-color: #FF;
border-right-color: #FF;
border-bottom-color: #FF;
border-left-color: #FF;

when you could use:

border: 2em solid #fff;

A reduced version of your current CSS for #flashbox would be:

#flashbox {
height: 410px;
width: 430px;
margin-left: 500px;
margin-top: 70px;
background: #000; /*removed the repeat property as there is no image
to repeat or not repeat */
z-index: 3;
position: relative;
padding: -12px 0 0 0;  /* note I left the -12px in, though padding
can't have negative values, only margins */
border: 2em solid #fff;
}

I think the consensus of those that have tried to help you is that
there are many basics that need to be learned first before really
proceeding very far.  So much basic CSS and HTML info is easy to find
online that will help you properly structure your documents if you
will only seclude yourself and study it some.  Only then will you be
able to really get out of a list like this what you need to without
making a thread quite laborious for the list.

That's not to say you have to be advanced to use a list like this.  By
no means!  I'm still learning a ton myself.  However, with little
basic understanding of general concepts it's hard to even formulate
the questions in such a way to get the desired answers.

One of the simplest requests throughout this thread which has yet gone
unheeded is to provide a static graphic comp of what it is you're
trying to achieve.  Do you have one?  A Photoshop file, a scanned hand
drawing, anything that shows the concept you're after?  if so, the
ones trying to help you would love to see it.

One final note - two of your images specified for that page are not
available on the server.  One is called topbarfade4.png and I don't
remember the other one.

Good luck with your project.

 Christopher,

 I think you'd be surprised at the difference in the markup and
 associated styles generated by some on the list if you
 provided an image of the final design. I know I've learned by
 seeing how someone else would create my design (after I'd
 spent many, many hours on it). Many times, the fewer
 divs/ID/classes you include, the fewer ways you have to cause
 yourself grief down the road.

 --G

 Alright, if it gets the blue bar fixed sigh Can you upload
 images to this list or just use a 3rd party site?


 You can't upload to the list (attachments are a no-no). However, you 
 can put the file on your website and provide the link.

 Why are you so opposed to doing something that will only take a couple 
 of minutes (at most), considering how much collective time has been 
 spent helping (this said as someone who has not invested much time at 
 all, but I've read many suggestions from others on numerous topics)?

 --G
I'm not opposed of it, I do appreciate the time that everyone on the 
list has given me or solved for me it has been more appreciated then 
words can say, well here I upload a mock up of the page
some of the graphics are gone but that just due to I may alter them I 
may not you can see the box more importantly you'll see the #flashbox 
and the #topbar in the mock up, then I hope
someone can help me solve the #topbar not touching the edge of the right 
hand size dilemma.

Thank You all :)

Please just post your mock up.

Even if you don't think it will help.

Even if you think you're one keystroke away from perfecting your site.

Just as a favour to the people who have freely donated their time to  
trying to help you.

Please?

#flashbox is positioned in a way that causes part of it to display outside
your body, while #topbar is fully contained in your body. You have also
applied padding to #topbar, and it contains no content. height:152px might
accomplish what you want visually without giving you grief when you add

 To everyone: It is #topbar that if you resize your browser it won't hug
 the right hand side of the browser.


 Christopher,
 

 #topbar is the item I mention. If you use Firefox and either Firebug or the
 web developer plugin, you can remove #flashbox from the html (using Firebug)
 or the styles for #flashbox (using Pedrick's excellent CSS editor), you will
 see that the #topbar goes to 100% of the body width. The 500px left-margin
 on #flashbox is your offending item.

 If you use Firebug and select the inspect option, you'll be able to
 mouse-over the various block items in your page. Resize the window to a
 smaller than 500px + 430px (width of #flashbox). See that the #topbar is no
 longer 100% width of viewport. Start the inspection, slowing moving around
 the screen. When you highlight the body object, you'll notice that #topbar
 is 100% of body, but #flashbox extends outside the body.

 I am saying your problem is not in the styling of #topbar, but the styles
 set on #flashbox.

 The usual thing, and IE (6+7) is wrong. Gecko, WebKit, Opera look all  
 the same and are correct.
 The issue is one of margin-collapsing (-through). The margin-top on  
 the h2 is outside of the blue box (#header).
 That doesn't happen in IE, 'cause you have declared a 'height' on the  
 div (triggers 'hasLayout'), and that prevents the margin of collapsing  
 through.

 Try adding a 1px border at the top of the div. That will fix the issue.

I see that you have the *about me* box with rounded corners and drop

I will point you to this demo.

In a browser that is quite up there with CSS standards (Safari 3) this 
appears like this.

http://css-class.com/test/images/box-shadow-rounded-corners.jpg


Before you go crazy with divs to create rounded corners and drop shadows 
you may want to just wait for the other browsers to catch up.

I will do a few demos for you later but I will remind you now, creating 
what you want in your graphic, I can see many hour or even days of work. 
Be very patient with us.

 The background image in the outer wrapper does not multiply vertically

Yes. You can pre-load background images by including them in the
markup at the top of the page BODY. Apply a width=1, height=0 so
they don't take up space, and enclose them in a DIV that's positioned
off-left using your favorite method for doing it.

Because in-line images generally load before those declared in CSS,
this method is pretty effective cross-browser. Just be sure to give
them a dimension so they are in fact downloaded. I find that the
1-pixel width I used above works pretty well. (Hat-tip to Thierry
for this, from his TIP image placement.[1])

[css-d] Vertical Positioning?

I asked this once before and never received a response from the group so I
thought I would try one more time.

At the link located below, is there any way to position Test Image Box at
the bottom of the column on the left hand side?  I know I can vary the top
margin of the div test on each page to force this image to a position, but
I wanted to avoid doing this for every page.  I also though absolute
positioning might work but have not tried it yet.  Any suggestions on how I
can make this work?

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.  I just need to know if I am

Hello, Alan thank you for helping me out! The problem I am trying to 
overcome is if you take a
look at http://www.walkfar.ca/test/productionsite14.html is the 
#flashbox is not in the position I would like it, In order
to get the #topbar to touch the border of the browser I have been 
informed to put a float element on the #flashbox
this has put the #flashbox not where I need it to be and everything else 
like the graphic where main is to some how disappear.

I understand the layout is a visually catching but as you said 
technically challenging.  As it's a little late here I will take
a look at those links tomorrow and I look forward to your demos and I 
understand how everyone on this list get a lot
of emails and so forth and is trying to squeeze the time so I can finish 
this as quickly as possible. 

Thank You Everyone.

 That is a lot better Christopher. Now you seem to be listening. Thank You.

 I see that you have the *about me* box with rounded corners and drop 
 shadow. Technically this is quite a tricky thing to do with CSS. The 
 graphic that you have provided is eye catching but very challenging in 
 respect to which browser could show this affect. This would require a 
 few extra divs for this to work in IE.

 I will point you to this demo.

 http://css-class.com/test/css/shadows/box-shadow-blur-offset-light.htm


 In a browser that is quite up there with CSS standards (Safari 3) this 
 appears like this.

 Before you go crazy with divs to create rounded corners and drop shadows 
 you may want to just wait for the other browsers to catch up.

 I will do a few demos for you later but I will remind you now, creating 
 what you want in your graphic, I can see many hour or even days of work. 
 Be very patient with us.

I look forward to the demos as well.  I did take a look and even 
previous states of the page look good in FireFox3 or Opera they do fall 
apart or things
are not aligned properly in IE7

I would just take your PSD of the desired look-and-feel, minus the text, and
use it to make one giant bacground image.

Then just position your content, absolutely or otherwise, over the boxes
where you want it.

The big blue bar strikes me as kind of an odd user interface, and not
necessarily worth all the time and effort.

Well, I could do this but I've almost got it, it's just IE has some 
problems that my design does not look well in.

[css-d] David Laakso

2008-07-24 Thread Christopher
This is for David Laakso, I was hoping you could tell me what is wrong 
with my layout that you got yours to work good even with IE7, I could 
use your
template and just adjust it but I'd like to adjust things like my 
#flashbox and get it to look how it looks in FF3 in IE 7 I was hoping 
you could pin point the problems and hopefully
also the solutions, I would really appreciate it as it would help me 
understand !
