Thanks very much for that, David, but no joy, I'm afraid.  It doesn't 
render properly in any version of IE (6, 7 or 8).  TBH, if I could just 
get it working in IE8 it'd be something.

The hacks are for the background colour.  I've taken them out so you'll 
see what I mean.  They came from Sitepoint's "The art and science of CSS".

I will.

Aargh!  I've no idea why I did that.  Thanks for pointing it out.  Now 
corrected.

In your style sheet you have this hack from a couple of weeks ago:

/*Bit of nonsense for IE6 */
* html #wrapper {
width:975px;
margin: 0 auto;
}

Leave that hack in the style sheet.  Immediately above it put these hacks:

*:first-child+html #wrapper {
width:975px;
margin: 0 auto;
} /*4 IE/7.0)*/

*:first-child+html fieldset.top-positioned {float: left; } /*4 IE/7.0)*/

* html fieldset.top-positioned {  position: relative; zoom: 1;} /*4 
IE/76.0)*/
 

Delete the CC and its content. If you actually need those hacks (I 
didn't check) put them in the style sheet for now.

Reference: spend some time here...



Points are not used to set type for the screen.


Best,

[css-d] Firefox displays correct title, Safari shows "index.html"

[John]

I am a person of beginner/intermediate CSS skills, resuming the  
honing of my coding chops...

I have a bare-bones document whose file name is "index.html," but in  
the code, within the head tag, my title is:  02-02


Firefox will display this as the page title at the top of a window  
into which I open this file, but Safari will display "index.html"  
instead.


I've tried flushing Safari's cache, quitting, restarting...to no avail.

I feel that I ought to understand why this is happening; it never has  
before; Safari has always displayed whatever title I place into a  
given page.

Any ideas?

thank you,

John

[css-d] IE problems - Float problem??

[Peter Bradley]

Hi,

I have a problem again with IE6 and 7.  I'm doing a demonstration form 
but can't get the second fieldset to right align in either IE6 or IE7.  
The HTML and CSS both validate and I've tried some conditional comments, 
which have worked for some other problems, but not for this.

Also, the conditional comments opening and closing lines are showing in 
all versions of IE including IE8 (but not in other browsers).  This 
suggests a mistake in the conditional comments, but I've looked at it 
all ways and I can't see it.

The page is at:

http://www.peredur.net/tt280/pb88_sp.htm

Many thanks in advance

Thanks, I haven't worked on my site in a while, and so I forgot to think of 
tinkering with that. :-)

[css-d] Text next to logo

Hi All,
Does someone know why the text in my masthead is not aligning to the right of 
my logo, but rather it is sitting below it?

Update:
I've found some posts talking about using width:100% and overflow:auto; I
have tried to another value on the width, but I get no luck.
Overflow:hidden; is not an option because I want the scroll bars to appear
is there is content overflow.
The clearing method by using an additional div I would like to avoid it so
that I cannot have empty tags on the markup, and keep it clean.

That's why I was asking for "THE reference" or, at least, your common
reference, about this containing methods.

Thank you all,

Any reference that I could look at about the relation between the
overflow:hidden and similar issues, so that I can learn more about it,
please. :)
I've searched containing floats article on css-d wiki but, no luck...


I'm trying to grab this float thing and I intend to NOT let it go now. ;)

Thanks in advance,
