 My question is, would it be easier to start from scratch or convert 
 the existing site to CSS?

Definitely better, although not necessarily easier - especially if it is
your first attempt on CSS layouts, to start from scratch.

You have what looks like a 2 column solution with header and footer
throughout the site, which normally is one of the simplest to structure
for CSS layout. Easy to add into and expand on.

Plan site-structure early, so you know at which ends your site will grow
in the future. A site-map may come handy, and in many cases having one
or more site- and/or section-maps will make life easier both for you and
your visitors than having complex menus on every page.
Example: http://www.gunlaug.no/contents/toc_7a.html


Before starting, the following sites provide good information...
http://www.opera.com/company/education/curriculum/
http://reference.sitepoint.com/
...which will help keeping you on track towards a good solution.


While planning a new design/structure: more important than switching to
CSS based layouts would be to avoid losing information on the HTML
level, like this...
http://www.gunlaug.no/tos/alien/notes/dws.png
Information usually comes through best if it is presented as plain
text on all levels...
http://www.gunlaug.no/contents/wd_additions_24.html
...and visually decorated to go with your ideas for the right
look/feel on screens - design.

[css-d] Float trouble in IE

2009-02-05 Thread Del Wegener
Good Morning;
The site giving me trouble is:
http://www.edi-cp.com/homepage2009_sandbox/edi-index.shtml

In FF and others it looks exactly like I and my client want, but in IE 5, 6, 
7 one of the floats does not behave.
The BAD BOX should float right, beneath the Menu box, and text should appear 
to the left of the BAD BOX.

The borders are temporary.
I have Googled and read, but can't correct the problem

What kind of fix do I need ?  Thanks.

Hi Kris,

I've had a look at your HTML code and for example:

Should this not be changed to li class=more to include the arrow?
The sub menus inside this have the arrows.

I would recommend you put the left hand text in it's own DIV.

div id=wrapper2
div id=search_etcsearch bit/div
div id=menumenu bit/div

div id=leftcontentpElectrochemical Devices Inc., founded in 1986,

div id=blendmeimage bit/div

Then float:left on that div. You may also want to try it with and without  
the clear:both as this can sometimes help or break floats!

Hi Kim,

I can't explain why it's not working on your design but here simple example  
of a two column layout with a specific background which may help.


HTML:

div class=wrap
div class=rightcolRight column/div
div class=contentLeft column content/div
div class=footerLeft column footer/div
/div


CSS:

.wrap {
width: 755px;
margin: 0 auto;
}

.rightcol {
width: 150px;
float: right;
background: transparent;
margin: 0px 0px 0px 5px;
}

.content {
width: 600px;
float: left;
background: #00;

.footer {
width: 600px;
float: left;
background: transparent;
}

The entire 'content' div will have a black background but everything else  
is left transparent.

  Now on my computer the box floats to the right but the text is pushed far 
down on the page.  If I put the text is a div floated left then the text will 
not flow around/under the BAD BOX.

Thanks Georg.  As always you are right on.
This is not the first time that d--- div has caused me trouble because I 
don't use it and hence forget about it.  It is part of a commercial program 
which displays the pictures.  But we don't want to have captions.  If I just 
delete the div, the program fails.  Probably I need to look at the program 
and remove all reference to this div

In the meantime simply float: right did the job.  It also seems that 
display:none removes the problem.  Do you foresee any problems with using 
display:none for this purpose?

http://fm.no-ip.com/SS/delweg01.jpg at life size is 366mm wide. That equates
to a 17 WUXGA laptop (1920x1200) @ fullscreen. That's the largest WUXGA I
know of. Others are smaller at 16 and 15.4. The default browser font is
12pt, which equates to 22px at the 133 DPI of WUXGA on 17.

No zoom or minimum font size has been applied. What you see is exactly as it
first paints. Yet, you can see text jumping out of containers already, and it
gets worse if the default is larger or text zoom is applied.

Think so, but it has been a while since I tested it...

http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/generate.html#content
http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/generate.html#counters

...and I can't remember where I left those tests :-)

Won't work in IE7 and older. IE8 should do fine, I think.


Also: if numbering is important part of content, generated stuff won't
do - not even an ordered list's regular counters. Only numbers as real
text will work then.

 When you come back, please explain what you mean by broken.
 We have tested on several different computers, with different browsers. with 
 different resolutions different window size, different zooms, and it seems

 what do you mean by broken?

 Thanks.

Sure. For example, among other things (scroll entire length of page):

Broken on landing in all browsers.
Drawing an h-scroll bar and broken on landing at 800. Note (among other 
things) that the header and footer image is too wide.
Minimum font-size 24px in FF and minimum font-size in Opera shoots 
content out the bottom of all containers.
Font-scaling @ + 2 in Safari, Camino, and SeaMonkey destroys it.

One solution may be to remove the border from the body and set it as a 
first to open last to close wrapper. Set no height on it. Clear it so 
the red and orange wrapper reside within the black wrapper. Delete the 
height from both wrappers you currently have. Trim the widths of the red 
and orange wrappers so as not draw an h-scroll at 800. Ditch the space 
beneath the footer. Crop the header image on the left side so the black 
rule abuts its wrapper and crop the overall width of the image so it 
will not break right. Set it as a foreground image: h1img src=... 
width.. height.. alt=your page title /. Set the primary content p at 
default (100%). Test in compliant browsers at twice default. And in the 
IEs at text size largest.

[css-d] IE problem with menu

2009-02-05 Thread Jody Levinson
Hi all,

On this site: http://web536.fog.plainblack.net/ the menu on the left  
works in FF but not IE7 or IE8.

Other pages work fine. Just not this one.

In IE7, I see the text [if lte IE 7]![endif] [else if lte IE 6]  
in the upper left and I'm assuming the problem lies there. I checked  
all the other page templates and they all have the exact same code in  
that space:

!--[if lte IE 7]link rel=stylesheet type=text/css href=/styles/ 
mainIe.css media=screen /![endif]--
!--[if lte IE 6]link rel=stylesheet type=text/css href=/styles/ 
mainIe6.css media=screen /![endif]--

I even repasted the block from a working page just in case there was  
some stray character in there.

Any clues?

Thank you so much!

Jody

litabbed in 2 px or so/li

/ul
limore/li
/ul


I want to control the amount the li items of the second ul are  
imbedded. The tabbed in 2px or so part is what I'm talking about.  
Can some some give me a clue how to do that?

BTW, IE/6.0 gets your page wrong. IE/7 and compliant browsers are

[css-d] Floated column invades content area

2009-02-05 Thread Inês Teles
Hello all

I haven't done any CSS for a while now and I must be a bit rusty as I can't
figure this out:

I'm using a Drupal theme (that's why there are loads of extensions to div
names and such) and modifying it to look like a design I drew up in
photoshop.

The site is at http://www.gofair.org with some dummy content.

My #right-sidebar is a floated 200px column, css as follows (in layout.css):

#sidebar-right {

float: right;

width: 200px;

margin-left: -200px;

margin-right: 0pt;

padding-top: 0pt;

padding-right: 0pt;

padding-bottom: 0pt;

padding-left: 0pt;

}

There's a #skip-to-nav which I've used to put a background photo on the
right corner of the header. Whenever I add the CSS to add this background
image, the right-sidebar floats into the content area. If I comment this
tiny bit of CSS out, it goes back into place. Could anyone please tell me
why it's doing this and how I can fix it?
CSS:
#skip-to-nav {
position:relative;
width: 114px;
height: 130px;
background-image: url(images/header_photo.jpg);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}

The actual stylesheet is at:
http://www.gofair.org/sites/all/themes/gofair/gofair.csshttp://www.gofair.org/sites/all/themes/gofair/gofair.css?L
I also have a problem with how the header displays in IE but I'll post that
as a seperate question.

Thanks in advance for any help you can lend me!
Ines

 Think so, but it has been a while since I tested it...
 
 http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/generate.html#content
 http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/generate.html#counters
 
 ...and I can't remember where I left those tests :-)
 
 Won't work in IE7 and older. IE8 should do fine, I think.
 
 
 Also: if numbering is important part of content, generated stuff won't
 do - not even an ordered list's regular counters. Only numbers as real
 text will work then.
 
 regards
 Georg

Georg, thanks yet again for your help.

Do screen readers not read generated list counters? Acck! JAWS and 
WindowEyes both, or just one or the other? How would you let a screen 
reader know that you are in a list if you are using real numbers?

Would an li with no bullet work if you wrote
lispan class=number2.1/span List item content./li

Is there another reason than accessibility that numbers as real text are 
what we need?

thanks!

Re: [css-d] centering a jquery slideshow

On 05/02/2009, at 11:49 PM, Daniel Kessler wrote:
 In another test page, I had changed it out for p tags like you but  
 that hadn't helped it center.  The major difference seemed to be  
 width:100%.  For educational reasons, why did that work?

Without the width specified the p tag block will will only be as wide  
as it needs to be for it's content. There's not enough content  
width in the image and caption to push it out to the width of your  
containing div.

What can sometimes help to visualize what's going on is to set a  
different temporary background color to the (mis-behaving) tag.  
Makes it easier to see where the problem(s) lie, and finding the real  
problem is often the biggest obstacle in working out the fix.

Cheers,

Setting a nested list can be tricky if you are not used to it. See:

Yes, the #skip-to-nav occupy space downwards into #main, where
#sidebar-right has to move out of the way since its margin-top reaches
up into the same space.

The addition of...

#skip-to-nav {margin-bottom: -50px!important;}

...will make #skip-to-nav take up no space in #main, and thereby make
the problem disappear.


Can't help but say that that source-code showcases divitis and classitis
to a degree I haven't seen in years, and the CSS is simply ...
nightmare-ish :-)

 There's a #skip-to-nav which I've used to put a background photo on the
 right corner of the header. Whenever I add the CSS to add this background
 image, the right-sidebar floats into the content area. If I comment this
 tiny bit of CSS out, it goes back into place. Could anyone please tell me
 why it's doing this and how I can fix it?
 CSS:
 #skip-to-nav {
 position:relative;
 width: 114px;
 height: 130px;
 background-image: url(images/header_photo.jpg);
 background-repeat: no-repeat;

Not sure, try:

You've got the styles for #skip-to-nav split on two style sheets. I 
consolidated them to one declaration:

#skip-to-nav {
position:relative; -- :: delete
position: absolute; -- :: add
top: 0; -- :: add
right: 40px; -- :: add
z-index: 1; -- :: add 
width: 114px;
 height: 130px;
background: url(header_p.jpg) no-repeat;-- :: amend to read
float: right;-- :: delete
margin: 0 !important; -- :: delete its 0 by default
font-size: 0.8em;
}

And:

 #header
{ position: relative;}-- :: add

Above quick checked only in IE/7.0 and Mac OS X 10.4. 11 latest version 
Safari, Opera, FF, and Camino.

Re: [css-d] Float trouble in IE

2009-02-05 Thread Del Wegener

 The site giving me trouble is:
 http://www.edi-cp.com/homepage2009_sandbox/edi-index.shtml

Crop the header image on the left side so the black
 rule abuts its wrapper and crop the overall width of the image so it
 will not break right. Set it as a foreground image: h1img src=...
 width.. height.. alt=your page title /.

Thanks for everyone's comments.  I am a lot closer now.   When everything is 
in the proper location, then I will remove the borders and hopefully the 
horizontal scroll bar will no longer be a problem.

The header image is 800 X 210, so I may need to trim a few pixels from the 
right end.
Is there some problem with the header image being in the background rather 
than the foreground.
I just seemed easyer to place divs over the image if it was in the 
background.  Is my reasoning flawed?

Del

[css-d] Tricky 3-col layout issue

2009-02-05 Thread Jenn Mears-Nickerson
Hello,

This may be a simple fix, but I think I have familiarity blindness at this 
point.  I have a templat layout that I have been customizing and I almost have 
it working here:

http://testblog.jennmearswebdesign.com

As you can probably tell, I'm trying to squeeze a third column in on the right, 
but the center content keeps forcing it down.  I tried wrapping the left column 
and the content into their own wrapper div, but it made things even crazier.

Is there a way to float the content (posts) in the center without having to 
wrap it into another div?

Here is the relevant CSS as it stands now.  I put a string of asterix next to 
the tags that I have been modifying from the original:

/* Layout */
.outerMost {
margin: 0 auto;
width: 950px; 
background: url(images/950-main_table_bg.gif) center repeat-y;
}

#wrapper {
margin: 0 auto;
width: 912px;
background-color: #FFF;
text-align: left;

}
#header {
background-color: #F5F5E7;

}
/* Header Styles */
#header h1 {
margin: 0;
font-size: 1.8em;
}
#header h1 a {
text-decoration: none;
color: #80904F;
}


#content {  ***
float: none;
margin: 0 0 0 10px;
width: 350px;
display: inline; /* IE double margin bug fix */
}

#sidebar {
float: left;
margin: 0 10px 0 10px;
padding: 0 0 0 0px;
width: 206px;
font-size: 0.9em;
display: inline; /* IE double margin bug fix */
border: 2px solid #DFD5BC;

}

* html #content, * html #sidebar {
overflow: hidden; /* For IE */
}

/* Blog */

.post {   *
float:left;
width:350px;

}
.posttitle {
margin-bottom: 0;
width: 400px;
color: #FFF;
overflow: auto;
/* Width and overflow to clear '.posttitle a' */
}
.posttitle a {
float: left;
padding: 0 10px;
background: #9BBB38 url(images/posttitle.gif) no-repeat top right;
}
.posttitle a:link, .posttitle a:visited {
color: #FFF;
}
.posttitle a:hover, .posttitle a:active {
background: #E8E7D0 url(images/posttitle.gif) no-repeat 100% -91px;
color: #80904F;
}
.postmeta {
margin-top: 0;
padding-top: 1px;
background: url(images/postmeta.gif) no-repeat top left;
font-size: 0.9em;
color: #999;
}
.postentry {  **

width:350px;

}
.permalink {
margin: 0 1.8em 0 0;
padding: 0 0 0 14px;
background: url(images/permalink.gif) no-repeat center left;
}
.commentslink {
padding: 0 0 0 17px;
background: url(images/commentslink.gif) no-repeat center left;
}

Thanks in advance for any help!

Jenn Mears-Nickerson

Re: [css-d] BG doesn't cover desired area

2009-02-05 Thread Kim Brooks Wei
Here's another way of explaining my problem:

I want a plain blackbg #0E0F0F to sit behind .spacedps and .content 
and I thought I'd coded my page to work this way but it doesn't work. 
The blackbg appears behind .spacedps but not .content.

The reason I don't put it in the bigcol div is that I want the footer 
and btmnav to not have the blackbg; I wish the tiled bg to show 
behind these elements.
