Re: [css-d] Text won't flow around images in IE

 Apologies if this has been asked a million times, but how do I get text to 
 flow around floated images in IE? I don't put my images in divs; I just plunk 
 them at the beginnings of paragraphs or heads and float them right or left. 
 But in IE, the text won't wrap; it jumps below the bottom of the image. Code 
 is:
 
 .leftimage {   float: left;margin: 10px 15px 10px 0;  }
 
 Is there a workaround?
 Thanks for any advice, Carolyn


There is no work around apart from markup changes. The only browsers 
that handle this construction correctly is IE8 and Opera 9. please see 
test case.

Now having the chance to check in Safari 3.2.3 I see that it handle this 
construction correctly. I see the drop in Firefox 3.0.10 (haven't got 
3.5.4 to check) and IE7- and only if the floated element is an inline 
element img span.

Re: [css-d] PNG alpha transparancy

 What do you guys think? Use it or lose it?


 You could use one of the many tricks to add PNG alpha transparency to
 Internet Explorer 6 [...] My preferred option for PNG transparency,  
 though, is to create PNG-8
 with alpha transparency [...]

I recently learned that filters have a serious backdraw: they heavely  
increase the memory consumption in the client,

.

So it's wisely to avoid them and go for the PNG8 suggestion Erik  
mention here.

I should say that this should work correctly in Firefox 3.54 if it is 
this bug.

[css-d] site check please?

2009-05-17 Thread Jody Levinson
Hi, all,

I've created this site: http://evamoon.net and it looks all right as  
far as I can see in FF and current versions of IE, but when I open the  
pages in DreamWeaver the left sidebar appears in the lower right and  
the navbar position overlaps the top of the content area. I don't  
really care if it looks odd in DW, but the fact that it does makes me  
worried that it might be broken elsewhere and I just haven't seen it.

Would you all mind terribly having a look and letting me know if there  
are problems with the CSS? The CSS validates, though there are some  
warnings and the HTML mostly validates except for things related to  
the flash slide show.

Thanks so much! (and btw, Eva Moon is my stage name)

What you describe in your testcase [1]  _is_ that bug, and it does  
work according to spec in Firefox 3.5b4.

[css-d] site check / footerstickalt problem

2009-05-17 Thread Richard Grevers
Hi,
we are making some cosmetic tweaks to a site I designed five years
ago: Eliminating some of the fixed and pseudo-fixed elements and
rearranging elements on the home page. This has also permitted a
change from quirks mode to standards mode rendering. There is still
some use of

The reworked page is at http://www.newzealandmint.com/nzmint_test.html
(all css inline for now)
The old page is at http://www.newzealandmint.com

My own observations so far:
1) The menus have stopped working (all browsers). They were the other
night so I'm trying to backtrack what has changed since then. (it
isn't footerstickalt) Alas this site isn't in SVN.
2) Footerstickalt isn't sticking - the footer is merely being placed
at the bottom of the in-flow content then margin-shifted upwards.
3) The client has checked in IE8 and says that when the viewport is
narrowed the bullion and precious metals images overlap rather than
dropping to vertical alignment.
4) In IE6, #heading is going extremely wide (much more than 100%),
causing horizontal scrolling and the centred content block to drift to
the right.

Jody, I do not think you can trust how anything looks in any editor's 
viewer-- including DW's. While someone else may bring up the issue you 
wrote about, I do not see it on this end in Mac FF, Mac Opera, Mac 
SeaMonkey, or Mac Safari. Nor in XP IE 6/7/8.

As an unrelated aside, I prefer my font-size preference (default), 
rather than yours. And, mind that, neither Opera nor the IE browsers are 
capable of scaling line-height set in pixels. A raw number for 
line-height will suffice. Please see 
http://chelseacreekstudio.com/ca/cssd/eva.png (shot at 32px min-font 
size in Opera).

I agree, Don't worry what Dreamweaver makes of it. It looks fine on my  
Safari (Version 4 Public Beta (5528.17)).
If I want to know the 'scoop' I should go to the 'Snoop' button in the  
menu? And 'stop the presses' is wrong, 'press' is plural.
Nice use of transparency in the bottom fixed image. What technique did  
you use?
