Re: [css-d] Can't Adjust Font Size
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 look at the current incarnation here: http://hotelcaravelle.com Thanks for the feedback on firefox on mac.

[css-d] Unreset Styles
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?

Re: [css-d] Unreset Styles
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 Parag On Wed, Nov 4, 2009 at 11:24 AM, Samuel Mikel Bowles sam...@atomicobject.com wrote: Hello, I am working on a largeish web application that has a lot of legacy CSS and HTML.

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

Re: [css-d] issues with IE 8
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.
