   That is not true. Many people like Verdana. They prefer it over
   other fonts because it is more legible.

Hi Chris,

  Verdana was ditched because it is pug ugly -- particularly at default
 or
  greater than default.

other fonts because it is more legible.

It may be more legible at *small size*, but as David said increase the size
and it gets ugly.

[css-d] Equal Height Columns with CSS border-radius

2010-05-20 Thread absynthe minded web smithes
Can it be done?

I've been playing around for a bit now. I've tried using the One True
Layout, but that cuts off the bottom, and would require some extra,
ugly markup, which we want to avoid.

I've tried display:table, but that forces me to have an extra thick
border between the two columns. If I set border-collapse:collapse,
then the border-radius goes away. I tried using a negative margin, but
that didn't work. Doing a border-left:none, makes part of the rounded
corner go away.

Here's the HTML and CSS for the section.

div id=info_blocks
div
h3Group #: 3322589/h3
spanMoo/span
/div
div
spanMoo/span
/div
/div


#info_blocks {
display:table;
margin:6px 0 0;
}
#info_blocks div {
border:1px solid #d8d8d8;
border-radius:5px;
-moz-border-radius:5px;
-webkit-border-radius:5px;
display:table-cell;
padding:10px;
}
#info_blocks div:first-child {
background:#fff9e7;
margin:0 -10px 0 0;
width:533px;
}
#info_blocks div:last-child {
background:#fff8d0;
width:169px;
}

[css-d] Need help on handling h1 next to a floating div

2010-05-20 Thread Claude Needham
The test page is: http://www.imag3.com/test/

Is there a way to stop the h1 from extending behind the div that is
floating to the left?
And, is it possible to have the yellow box dynamically center itself
in the area to the right that is remaining after the left div takes up
its space?

Thanks for any help,
Claude Needham

 You may want to read this article to find out why it works that way:

Thanks. That did the trick.
I was wandering around in the world of hasLayOut and didn't know about
the block issue. Thanks much for the link to the article.
