[css-d] Problem with ul/li in IE

2008-11-10 Thread Atkinson, Sarah
I can't seem to alter padding or margins to my lists in IE on the left or right 
side. Works fine in Firefox but not IE 6. I haven't tried IE 7 since I don't 
have it on my machine

does show up in Firefox 3.0.3 and Safari

Please advise, I have read everything I can on this topic and tried all 
those fixes but they are not working.

Thanks for looking at this.

This sort of thing works for me:

body{
background-image:  url(../images/background.gif);
background-position: 0px 0px; 
background-repeat:repeat-x; 
}

HTML-elements and -comments have no place inside stylesheets. Clean it
up and use @media print and @media screen wrappers instead of
style-elements.

Right now your intended print-styles are overriding your screen-styles
for the body-element in some browsers, while other browsers simply
ignore chunks of styles.

Georg

[css-d] IDs on W3C.org

2008-11-10 Thread HARDIE.CA
Hi,

Sorry if this is a little bit out of left field, but I was looking over
a colleague's work today, and I noted that he should be using IDs
instead of classes for elements which appear once on a page.

He told me that he had modeled what his page on the www.w3c.org splash
page, and there were indeed elements which appear to be singletons
(banner, navBlock) but used classes instead of ID. Is there some
technical reason for these layout divs to be marked up with classes?

Cheers,

Chris

I often battle with myself on this issue. I tend to use a single index 
file and pipe everything through it using PHP, so for me, the real 
question isn't whether or not something appears only once on a page, but 
whether or not it is permitted to be replicated.

For example, I'm unlikely to replicate a footer, so this gets an id. 
Likewise, the masthead only appears once, so it too gets an id. I could 
very well replicate menus; admin menu, user menu, blog roll and so on, 
so they get classes.

I don't use ads, so I can't comment on banners. Perhaps this is a 
different question for me, since I use my own templating system, but if 
something _might_ be replicated, or _could be_ replicated, I class it, 
otherwise, I identify it.

Hope that makes /some/ sense.

Re: [css-d] IDs on W3C.org

2008-11-10 Thread Tim Arnold
I often find myself using classes where I would normally use IDs when 
coding templates for any number of .NET-based content management 
systems.  Many .NET controls output system-generated IDs which forces us 
to use classes instead.  It bugs me every time, but there's not really 
much to do about it, from what I understand.  Worse is having to deal 
with the nightmare of embedded tables used for layout in many of the 
.NET controls.  Very, very ugly.

[css-d] help with margin-top IE versus FF

2008-11-10 Thread Angela French
I have two divs that sit on top of each other (in the html). I have
applied a margin-top to the bottom div to provide space between the 2
divs.

IE7 renders the margin-top, but FF2 won't.  I have tried !important;
but cannot get some space between them. 

 

Can anyone suggest what I might need to look at or try?

 

Thank you

I don't think there's any should here. An ID has several uses - 
for HTML anchors and JavaScript as well as CSS.

Using an ID for CSS not only indicates that the element is unique
on the page, but adds specificity to any rule using it as part of
the selector chain. For this reason, I suggest caution in using very
many IDs on a page.

I had a small JavaScript job to do earlier this
year. The script was an easy adaptation of a YUI calendar, and
did not take me long. When it came to adding it to the client's
pages, though, I discovered long selector chains in their CSS that
included two or more IDs. The work of overcoming so much
specificity made the CSS work take longer than the scripting!

Fortunately, the client paid for my time. :)

Cordially,
David

Is the problem resolved in Firefox/3.0.3; and if not, could you provide 
a clickable link to the page/problem in question?
