Re: [css-d] Changes how (some) browsers handle the a:visited pseudo-class

And I disagree entirely. Especially for something so minor as the ability to make visited links look nothing at all like unvisited links[1], software should be secure by default and require users to deliberately choose to enable less secure modes of operation, not the other way around. [1] The changes described still allow you to visually distinguish visited vs. unvisited links, provided that they still look basically the same. I don't see losing the ability to shrink visited links to a microscopic font or replace their backgrounds with biohazard warnings to be any big loss. Certainly not a big enough loss to warrant knowingly choosing a default behavior which is known to put users' privacy at risk. -- Dave Sherohman __ css-discuss [cs...@lists.css-discuss.org] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/

Subject: RE: [css-d] CSS Object class not working on IE
This css code in my external .css works to put padding on a flash
object tag
in FF but nada in IE:
object {
padding-left:30px;
}
Normally I'd use another way around this but for various reasons this
is my
preferred solution
Why is this not working in IE? Thanks
I'm curious to know why you use padding on a object. What's the
expectation?
Because I don't think padding should change the rendering of the element.
And what is the other way around you mention?
Do you have a URL we can check?

That object is in a paragraph, so style that P like this:

[css-d] validation with no warnings
Hi, I am pleased that I managed to get this site done without asking the list for help! I did however post about doctype at the start and still didn't find the right answer. http://wch.redrunner.co.uk/ The index page just has one warning, the others have 3. I don't really get HTML and CSS briefs anymore (Drupal, Joomla) but if I do this is how I code. I'd love it if someone could tell me what doctype and UTF setting suits my style so that I can just strike that from my list. Link to an example or cut and paste the code into here would be great.

Re: [css-d] validation with no warnings SOLVED
Hi, Thanks to everyone that replied. I have no figured out that HTML4/ Strict works for me and UTF8 is good too. I also learnt to change the preferences in my editor so that 'default file encodings' was 'Unicode UTF8' rather than automatic, which means that I do not need to use odd HTML characters for things like apostrophes (the keyboard one works just fine). Excellent news, I am so happy and feel that I understand it a bit better now.

[css-d] CSS Sprites, Image Replacement, or Just Images?
Hello all - Just looking for some expert advice for how to approach one part of a new project. The following jpg comp is all that exists yet, as I'm just now building out the site and would like to know how to proceed on the 3 main headings/choice options on the page. http://www.springfieldmo.gov/strategicplan/images/concept.jpg The 3 headings that are listen create and embark are image based. I had originally thought of using one image and a CSS sprite approach to show the part for each heading that is needed. But then I got to thinking that each of these really should be treated as an h2 header. I've never done any CSS image replacement, but wondered what the prevailing ideas on here would be as to how to treat this issue? - simple, stand alone images - h2 tags with image replacement, and if so, what's considered the current, best method - CSS sprite - h2 tags w/ images as backgrounds (this would negate the use of the font, which I do like) - something else I haven't thought of Thanks for some advice in advance.

After making the offer, it occurred that it's been so long since I started
using the code I wasn't sure I could accurately help anyone else start using
it. But it looks pretty basic. Do one thing, though. Make sure you try it on
duplicates or non-essential files. (Of course, you would have done that
anyway.)
ONE*** This goes in the head section of the html page:
script src=login.js type=text/javascript/script
TWO*** Then this form goes in the body section. You decide the content to
include other than the form fields.
form name=login id=login
center
table width=760 border=0 cellspacing=25px cellpadding=5px
trtd colspan=2a href=../index.htmlimg src=m.png alt=M
name amp; logo width=750 height=87 align=top title=Return to Home
//a
/td
/tr
trtd colspan=2img src=o.png alt=Account Login at O
/nbsp;br /
/td/tr
tr bgcolor=#154212th colspan=2Enter Your Private Websitebr /
span class=style1Please type your Username and Password, then
click

trthspan class=style2nbsp; br /
Username:/span/th
thspan class=style2nbsp; br /
Password:/span/th/tr
trthdiv align=centerinput type=text name=username
//div/th
thdiv align=centerinput type=text name=password
//div/th/tr
trth colspan=2
input type=button value=Login! onClick=Login() /
/th/tr
/table
/center
/form
THREE*** The you create the login.js file from the following code. We
have 13 different logins leading to thirteen different pages. Each one needs
just 3 pieces of info: username, password and the page linked to.

Begin
function Login(){
var done=0;
var username=document.login.username.value;
username=username.toLowerCase();
var password=document.login.password.value;
password=password.toLowerCase();
if (username== password==b) {
window.location=pagename.html; done=1;
}
if (username==c password==d) {
window.location=pagename2.html; done=1;
}
if (done==0) { alert(Invalid login!); }
}
// End

Re: [css-d] How to handle cached styles...

Re: [css-d] CSS Sprites, Image Replacement, or Just Images?
Just looking for some expert advice for how to approach one part of a new project. The following jpg comp is all that exists yet, as I'm just now building out the site and would like to know how to proceed on the 3 main headings/choice options on the page. http://www.springfieldmo.gov/strategicplan/images/concept.jpg The 3 headings that are listen create and embark are image based. I had originally thought of using one image and a CSS sprite approach to show the part for each heading that is needed. But then I got to thinking that each of these really should be treated as an h2 header. I've never done any CSS image replacement, but wondered what the prevailing ideas on here would be as to how to treat this issue? - simple, stand alone images - h2 tags with image replacement, and if so, what's considered the current, best method - CSS sprite - h2 tags w/ images as backgrounds (this would negate the use of the font, which I do like) - something else I haven't thought of You could try this: http://tjkdesign.com/articles/how-to_use_sprites_with_my_Image_Replacement_ technique.asp -- Regards, Thierry www.tjkdesign.com | articles and tutorials www.ez-css.org | ultra light CSS framework __ css-discuss [cs...@lists.css-discuss.org] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
