Re: [css-d] font-size smaller on IE 8 [error correction]

2009-12-22 Thread MEM

  one thing I've found that helps on organizing the font sizes was in an A
 List Apart article last year (?).  The idea was to have 3 style sheets: one
 for fonts, one for colors, and one for layout related stuff (positioning,
 borders, margins, etc).  There's a bit of extra page weight involved, since
 you end up declaring the same selectors a few times, but I've found that it
 does make keeping track of your styles easier.  Fewer things get lost.

 ---Tim


It sure is an idea for organizing things. And I surely need to find a way to
organize what will became 1000 lines of css code.
Thanks for the usefull tip, I will surely take a look into that.

Found the link:

Thanks once again,
Márcio

[css-d] Extra width in ie6 than FF

2009-12-22 Thread Pete Harrison
I'm assuming this is a box model issue, but with a complex structure, I'm
not sure where I should try a hack.
 
My page at http://www.bedaleswines.com/blog/default.asp?Category=2 (sorry
it's a CMS generated page) shows an extra bit of space on the right had side
in IE vs. FF.
 
Where should I start hacking?

Hi David,

This is my favorite style of site clean easy to use and quick to load.

My only comment is that it has more white space on the left than the right 
and personaly I find that throws its balance out for me.

The 3 sets are very cool but possably a discription for people that are not 
computer savy enough to know what to do there.

Great job

Re: [css-d] :: makeready ::

2009-12-22 Thread Bill Braun
Hi David,

I particularly like the visual impact of the site. It is both engaging 
and minimalist at the same time. The upper part of each page is 
consistent. I have mixed feelings about large images (the lights) 
pushing content lower on the page. The images of the lights are 
attractive, but become tiring.

The About page includes (or will include) some examples of your work; I 
suggest they move to the Portfolio, and leave About straight-forward.

The Portfolio section loses the consistency of the upper part of the 
page. I had to check to see where I was, and pause for a minute and 
wonder what changed. I think I know what you want to accomplish with the 
smaller and larger images of sites you've designed, but I find it odd to 
view only part of a page. I suggest presenting the entire image.

The Resources part of the site, which I think is wonderful, also seems 
(to me) to visually fall apart. There is a mix of pages that are 
completely different (I realize this is a WIP) and links that just take 
me away from your site (sometimes inevitable). Most suggestions I would 
offer are arguably their own set of problems (open in separate window or 
tab, open in a frame, etc.).

Contact page likewise changes layout and is distracting.

Kudos for making address and phone accessible from every page. Not sure 
you need to repeat the bouquet image from above.

The expanding/contracting feature (on the Journal page, fro example) is 
counter intuitive for me. Personally I am comfortable with longer pages; 
they do not detract from attractiveness.

On the technical side, the Home and About links both point to /index.php.

I did not mean to dwell on the negative, David. There is a comfort to 
the design and the colors. The more time I spent on the site, the more I 
was attracted to its positive features.

Warm regards,

Bill B

[css-d] Centering a Script

2009-12-22 Thread Dagmar Noll
I'm trying to embed the Twitter profile widget in my webpage. It's a 
script/script item and I just want it centered on the page using 
css. It seems to be immune to all css styling. Text in the same div 
centers when I put text-align:center in the css file, but this stays 
smack against the left side of the div. I tried putting the script in a 
set of p/p tags. That didn't work, either.

I don't understand what I am doing wrong. I have never had a script in a 
web page before, so perhaps I am not understanding the nature of 
script tags. I wen to wc3 and read some of the documents about 
centering and scripts and didn't find anything illuminating.

If it helps, this is the script:

script src=http://widgets.twimg.com/j/2/widget.js;/script
script
new TWTR.Widget({
   version: 2,
   type: 'profile',
   rpp: 3,
   interval: 6000,
   width: 450,
   height: 150,
   theme: {
 shell: {
   background: '#006600',
   color: '#ff'
 },
 tweets: {
   background: '#33',
   color: '#ff',
   links: '#99cc66'
 }
   },
   features: {
 scrollbar: true,
 loop: false,
 live: false,
 hashtags: true,
 timestamp: true,
 avatars: false,
 behavior: 'all'
   }
}).render().setUser('WindhamRegCERT').start();
/script

Thanks for considering my issue.

Re: [css-d] Centering a Script

2009-12-22 Thread Delos Woodruff
Someone else may have a more clever idea, but I would just enclose the  
script in a div and center that.

div style='width:450px; height:150px; margin:0 auto;'(put script  
here)/div


Some will recommend keeping your css elsewhere, so you could also add  
this to your css:
. twitter {width:450px; height:150px; margin:0 auto;}

And then add this to your html:
div class=twitter(put script here)/div

Hope that helps,

Re: [css-d] :: makeready ::

2009-12-22 Thread Ron Zisman
david,

technically and from an infrastructure design perspective, it's  
masterfully done (not that i could really tell).

but your copy really sucks and really doesn't betray the level of work  
that you do. how long have you been at this?
did you put nearly as much time into the content development as you  
did in building the site?

you say no smoke and mirrors... but all those collapsing divs--really  
cool--but IMHO, doesn't enhance the experience.
being lazy, i usually want to scan things.. and having to choose  
whether to expand all or 1 or 2 or 3???
i'm a product of the 60's--few brain cells left. i think it would be  
stronger to show all at the outset.

the portfolio is also a little much with the interactivity. clicking  
on the name deletes all information except the 2 links... why???
then the possibility of seeing the full page... at this point, why not  
link to the site?

while i'm venting, i'm not wild about the heavy black border on the  
page images.. to me, it detracts from the subject of the page... which  
is the focus
visually, the out dented, flush right menu, creates a weird visual box  
to the left of the image. i mention it because i notice it.

the resource section and the journal are real contributions to all of  
us.

lastly, and this one is really subjective. the strongest portfolio  
pieces (IMO) are dolphins back and lars. redon, dwight and soldiers  
home seem more like studies, and as nicely done as they are detract  
some from the 'business' of developing sites.

again. i admire your courage of putting this in front of so many  
people and asking for opinions. you'll certainly get them.
i don't quite know how to be constructive, you know i have a lot of  
respect for you as a developer and designer.

i'm my toughest client, especially when i comes to my own work.

wrm rgds,
ron

David, I loved it before and I still love it now. There are a few  
things that I would like to see changed though.

1. Your awesome logo does not need a drop shadow box around it.
2. As someone else noticed there is a white box in the upper-left hand  
corner. Possibly this is so your logo can sit against a white  
background but what you could do is have the repeating gradient at the  
top of the page, and use a white - transparent radial fill around the  
logo (will need png fix). Another option is to lose the small bt of  
body gradient from the left and align gradient to start above the page  
content and not the menu.
3. 'Below are thumbnail images of some websites' - they're not really,  
they're logos of clients and it is in fact a client list. You can lose  
most of that paragraph just by saying, 'here is a list of some clients  
that I've worked with'. There's no need for this to be expandable/ 
collapsible. I think every user will want to see so why make them work  
for it?
4. If you choose against previous then try to think about naming your  
sets. Why are they grouped? I.E. rename sets to something like: Set 1  
= Creative industries, Set 2 = Communications, Set 3 = Personal
5. The main image is needed and placed in just the right spot but I do  
think it should change from page-to-page. Your choice of imagery is  
part of your brand and I REALLY like it. It gives the user breathing  
space and room for them to interpret however they want. Lens flare is  
coming back! I am serious, as tacky as I used to think it was (being  
one of the first effects anyone plays with when they get PS) you have  
used it well and trust me it is something that will be appearing on  
innovative and modern designed website (e.g. mac) in the not so far  
feature. Well done for getting there first!
6. I would title each one, not the page title, and not over the  
imagery - but neatly below as if hung in a gallery. If it's your  
artwork, say so - it shows that you are creative and not solely all  
about the code. It doesn't seem that you want the type of clients that  
will use stock imagery so don't let them think that's what you're about.
7. I would make 'Chelsea Creek Studios' a unique font (a word-mark).  
It's a lovely name and by simply making the first letters of words a  
capital is too subtle.
8. I'd knock the size of those lines down a few pixies too.

I know plenty of people that this would appeal to, it gives a strong  
sense of who you are and that message to me comes across as sincere,  
trust-worthy, passionate and smart which are awesome traits that the  
money-grabbing world just doesn't get. Well done you!

Please lose that drop shadow around your logo. It sticks out like a  
sore thumb and trust me it's doesn't need it. It's wicked and in fact  
I wouldn't mind it if you could do something like that for me. Send me  
a message if you're interested.

Cheers, Chris

P.S. Get in touch about that logo

Looking good.

On a side note. For IE6, I thought that maybe the below CSS would stop 
with some confusion for IE6 users on the portfolio page.

* html h3.ex {display: none;}

or

* html h3.ex {position: absolute; left: -15,000px;}


When selecting the link [next] I ended up on a blank page. Like the last 
time around it sometimes happens and then sometimes doesn't. Testing 
further, the same things happens when selecting from the links in the 
sidebar (within div#sb nav). I don't know if this is CSS, PHP or server 
related.

I guess this is why I see all this IE6 %^$%* going around among web 
designer and developers. One bug and all that work to nurse IE6 along

And why wouldn't this be? I can understand this since I also have an 
artistic past. It's that combined left and right brain hemisphere 
development thing. David's style remind my of Russell Drysdale's work.

 Looking good.

 On a side note. For IE6, I thought that maybe the below CSS would stop 
 with some confusion for IE6 users on the portfolio page.

 * html h3.ex {display: none;}


   





I regret there is no fix for this issue.
Nevertheless, good call. Your code [1] will make it somewhat less 
obvious sometimes and is on the host/server now, as:

[1]

* html h3.ex {display: none;}
/* Thanks to Alan Gresley: http://css-class.com/links/ */

 I dunno...the site is causing some cognitive dissonance for me. I'm
 also a fine artist, a commissioned portraitist, and textile artist, in
 addition to being a graphic designer and web designer. Looking at
 Russell Drysdale's work, there's an organic flow and logic to the
 thick and thin, a push-pull to the lights and darks, to the tints and
 the saturated color. Here, there is a dichotomy between the organic
 flow of the stroke in Zapfino, and the boxy, thick outlines of the
 images and rules. I don't see a correlation. The logo could go either
 way, but I don't think it functions as a bridge between the style of
 the font and the thick outlines of the images to form a cohesive whole.

 Is the site for a man or a woman? There is a decidedly feminine cast
 to the site. Zapfino is a very feminine font. shrug Not all script
 fonts are feminine, but this one is. Maybe that's not a problem.

 But then we are out of the purview of CSS, so I expect our knuckles
 shall be rapped with the ruler shortly.

 Theresa Mesa


Ooh, I love it when you artists talk dirty like that!

Yes, I imagine we shall all be getting our knuckles rapped shortly.

But in the meantime, isn't it nice to have some help getting our sheets
styled?

[css-d] Apologies!

2009-12-22 Thread Michael Geary
I suppose I've now earned a place in the CSS Hall of Shame for getting a
thread closed because of my off topic, not to mention off color, comment.

I sincerely apologize to anyone who took offense or had their time wasted.

(And yes, I'm well aware that this apology may waste more of your time!
That's the bind I put myself in.)

I assure you that my next post will be much more on topic! :-)

-Mike
