[css-d] Sizing bullets in IE6/IE7

2010-06-08 Thread Jay Carlson
Howdy, list:
I'm normally pretty clever with CSS, but the IE6/IE7 rendering of this page
is giving me issues:

http://smmirror.jaycarlson.net/?ajax

I want nice, big bullets, but normal-sized text on the sidebars, so I'm
doing something like:

lispanHeading/span/li

li {
font-size:something big
}

li span {
Font-size:something regular
}

And although the exact sizes have had to be tweaked between Gecko, WebKit,
Presto, and IE8, the CSS doesn't seem to work at all in IE6 or IE7 -- the
bullets are tiny, and the line-height is messed up. I can't seem to fix it
for the life of me.

I'd appreciate someone smart swooping in and explaining why li font-size
doesn't seem to work...

Thanks!

[css-d] IE8, CSS 2.1 page-break-inside: avoid problem

2010-06-08 Thread Stéphane Carnot
Hi all,

This is my 1st post in this list, so please forgive me if i forgot something :-)

- Windows Vista Business SP1 (French) Microsoft, Internet Explorer 8.0 
6001.18904 - 

I have a desktop application which generates html pages from SQL data. 
Then, with a WebBrowser object, I send these pages to print or preview (Exec 
Web method). 

I can’t make the CSS 2.1 page-break-inside work

However with IE 8 this should work (Trident - Comparison of layout engines 
(Cascading Style Sheets)). 
I’ve read the W3 documentation, Microsoft documentations (Defining Document 
Compatibility, page-break-inside Attribute | pageBreakInside Property) and 
Vitaly Sharovatov’s article (IE8 Rendering Modes theory and practice) and I 
added in my header: 
Code :
meta http-equiv=X-UA-Compatible content=IE=8/

But it doesn’t work either.

I’m totally newbie with CSS  :-( 

Any hint?
TIA 
JYves

[css-d] positioning a horozontal bar

2010-06-08 Thread Andy B.
Hi. I have the following html and css code. My question is this: I need to
use css to position the hr / tag blow the ACTIONS, ICON, TITLE AND
VISIBILITY divs and above the ContentPane div (using it as a divider between
the title bar and the content). How exactly would I do this. It needs to
work for all the major browsers.

[html code]
div id=Container class=CONTAINER
div id=ACTIONS class=ACTIONS /
div id=ICON class=ICON /
div id=TITLE class=TITLE /
div id=VISIBILITY class=VISIBILITY /
hr /
div id=ContentPane class=ContentPane /
/div
[/html code]

[css code]
.CONTAINER {Padding: 5px; }
.ACTIONS, .ICON, .TITLE, .VISIBILITY {float: left;}
.TITLE {
Color: blue;
Background-Color: White;
Font-Family: Georgia;
Text-Align: Center;}
hr {
Width: 100%;
Height: 10px;
Color: blue;}
.ContentPane {
Left: auto;
Right: auto;
Top: auto;
Bottom: auto;}
[/css code]

 If you have a regular install of IE 7, would you kindly take a look
 at this page...

 http://webwiz.robinshosting.com/temp/ie7-filter-problem/  ?

[...]
Thanks for taking a look, Mark. But from your screen-shot, it does not
look like you applied any zoom to the page? I know it works without
zoom, but my client *loves* IE 7 zoom--and that's the problem I am
experiencing.

Cordially,

My mistake. When I apply the zoom the layout gets broken and the

[css-d] character encoding?

2010-06-08 Thread russ
I apologize if this is considered off-topic, but it's here that I find 
people talking most about validating pages. I am trying to find out why my 
documents are validated as Tentatively checked as HTML 4.01 Strict with 
warnings about No Character Encoding Found! Falling back to windows-1252. 
I have tried reading information about character encoding, but anything I 
add causes the page not to validate at all. I'm not sure what to add to make 
the page validate completely. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here is the page I am testing:

HTTP header sniffing shows no character encoding there.
See: http://web-sniffer.net/

Your page shows UTF8 but the server is not sending it in the header. I would 
look to the server setup to remedy that.

Your page does validate ok by direct upload so there is no problem there.

Hi Russ,

Today I, too, have been having similar problems with the W3C validator.
Just as in your case, the validator seems to ignore the meta
content-type declaration. Dunno what's going on.

You may like to install the HTML validator Firefox extension (but you
need FF 3.5 if you are on Mac--it does not work in FF 3.6 Mac). That
validator contains an off-line version of the W3C validator, as well as
Tidy to clean up your source code (and give less geeky messages...).

Remember that (most) browsers (and the W3C validator) don't check the meta
tag for rendering (since the correct rendering engine is selected BEFORE the
page is read) -- if you want them knocked into a true X-HTML rendering
engine, you need to make sure your server is sending the correct
content-type header. By default, PHP files are sent as text/html which is
NOT right if you're using an X-HTML DocType. 

These days, most stuff I do is X-HTML 1.1 done in PHP, so I just do a:
header('content-type: application/xhtml+xml') before I send any of the page
and it knocks Firefox into XHTML rendering mode.

Of course, if you want text/html as your content-type, then you shouldn't
have to change anything.
