Hi Victor,

I have checked the same in my system.
Its working fine. Can you please check whether any other CSS inherit this
style?
Or else give !important like this

p {
font-size: 16px ! important;
}

Thanks,
Deepak Sam Victor G

 It doesn't matter to what value I change font-size, it remains the same!
 What do?

Well, I took out the javascript and even edited down the css file so that
there were no p.intro or p.introbox just a p declaration and I still
couldn't edit the latter to change the font size! What gives? You can take a

[css-d] Unreset Styles

2009-11-04 Thread Samuel Mikel Bowles
Hello,

I am working on a largeish web application that has a lot of legacy CSS and
HTML. I am currently working on a plan to refactor all of the HTML and CSS.
The code is currently bloated, poorly written, and in desperate need of an
update. On all new sections of that application that I create I want to use
more modern, semantic code but in order to do so I need a method that allows
me to progressively improve the code throughout the site.

Here's what I am thinking:

The site, as is the norm, has a common header and footer. It has a few
configurations (two column, one column, etc) in a few places. I would like
to start at the root: update the main elements that span the whole site:
header, footer, basic structural elements like the columns, etc. The idea is
that by updating these elements first I ensure that any new sections of the
application can use pure code.

The idea of starting with a reset style is a bit of a nuclear option though.
It would most likely ruin all the rest of the styles in the site. So my idea
is to create a bomb-shelter for legacy code. For now I would wrap sections
that have yet to be updated in div class=legacy and use this to reverse
the effect of the reset style. This would give me a reprieve until I can
update each of these sections.

I know that this would temporarily bloat my css. I can live with a little
temporary bloat on the road to css zen.

Here's my question:

Does anyone know of a set of unreset styles? Something that will give me a
comprehensive set of defaults that will get as close as possible to a
cross-browser norm?

Thanks,
Samuel Mikel Bowles

I've figured it out!  You're changing it in the WRONG FILE!  When I went back 
to your original email, I realized that you were talking about text on the 
About Us page, not on the home page.  The size for the p declaration on 
about.htm is in caravelle_sub.css, NOT in caravelle.css.  That's why it's not 
applying it.

So, for future reference, when you send us a link to your site, send us the 
full link - page included.  Pages are different, and what's happening on one 
page may not be happening on another.

Re: [css-d] Unreset Styles

2009-11-04 Thread Parag Jagdale
Have you thought of doing it the other way?
1. Put new code in div class=newcss (or maybe body class=newcss)
2. Then, prefix all reset styles with div.newcss

This will give you new code bloat too, but then all you to do is remove the
div.newcss once the legacy code is all updated

[css-d] Margin mystery in IE7 on a Drupal/Zen site

2009-11-04 Thread Jim Thorpe
Hi all,

I've built a Drupal site with the Zen theme as my base, and I'm having  
an issue with some of the CSS (it's not what I'd have built, if  
starting from scratch). The issue I'm having is with a live site, so I  
appreciate whatever help I can get. And example page:

http://alter-g.com/medical-injury-surgery-rehabilitation

The basic structure I'm having issues with is the relation of the  
#sidebar-left and #sidebar-right column divs to the larger #content  
div. In the markup, #content comes first, then the left and right  
column divs. The way the Zen theme is constructed, it's a float-nearly- 
everything layout, and negative margins are used to put the columns in  
the right places. I'm not a fan.

The problem is, in IE7 (and I've seen this in IE6 and I believe also  
IE8), the main #content div intermittently forgets the margins it's  
supposed to have, and the content overlaps the left sidebar. Visit the  
URL above, and if it looks perfectly fine to you, hit the reload  
button. Invariably, the layout gets wonky after a reload or two. It's  
not a cache problem, and I'm starting to think it's a load-order  
thing. Your thoughts?

Thanks in advance — Jim

The HTML on your home page doesn't validate, with 26 errors. Just  
validating your HTML can do a world of good for your site and might  
clear up your problems. Among other things, style has been  
misspelled on your h3 tag at line 70.
