[css-d] Normalizing CSS inline breadcrumbs menus

Re: [css-d] site design/layout feedback desired
On 25/08/10 04:21, Francesco wrote: Looking for feedback on a design I'm almost done with. http://blackcoil.com/classychild -- Francesco Sanfilippo, Blackcoil Productions I've tried this in Firefox 3.6.8 for Ubuntu Linux, with default text size set at 16, and in Epiphany 2.30.2 (Linux Webkit-based browser) with default text size set at 12. These settings usually mean sites display pretty much the same across the two browsers, but for some reason in this site, the text shows slightly larger in Epiphany, causing the baby 0-12 months text in the left-hand column to wrap onto two lines. It's not a problem - just an observation. Other than that, the site looks good. If the text size is increased to 24 or more, then the header-navigation links wrap, but the header doesn't increase in size to accommodate this. Setting #header min-height:100px, rather than height:100px should help; setting the height in ems would be even better. I don't have a problem reading the header-links text, but I use a tool from Vision Australia to check colour contrast for visibility, and these two combinations do fail that test. I find this tool really useful - http://www.visionaustralia.org.au/info.aspx?page=628 - it's designed for Windows, but also runs on Linux using Wine. The black text Girls over the photo is very hard to read, but maybe not too much of a problem in context. Overall, I like the layout. It's clear and uncluttered and I found it easy to use. Hope this helps.

Try:
a, strong { background: yellow;}
tabs are normalised to spaces, then collapsed together. that is the normal
white-space processing model.

Re: [css-d] Normalizing CSS inline breadcrumbs menus
OK, then I suppose that Gabriele and I differ
over the meaning of mysterious in mysterious gaps.
I was expecting a single space-of-the-line, but
thought that Gabriele must be experiencing more in
order for them to qualify as mysterious.
Presumably white-space-collapse: discard will
remove the last space once CSS3 becomes a published
specification and browser writers rush to adopt it.

[css-d] Out of the stone age
I feel like I am working from the stone age. I have a legacy custom Cobol application running on SCO Unix and I have built a basic, although very in-efficient, web order application. If you click on the link below, you will see that I have a simple order form that will allow the customer to select up to 15 different items per order. Each line item has a drop down that contains every item available for purchase, which is several thousand items, and each drop down contains an identical list of items. So, 15 order lines times thousands of items and you have a huge html page. There has to be a way to streamline this. Due to the age of this server and the legacy app, it seems my options are limited. http://www.coastalind.com/ciordersample.html Any and all suggestions are welcome.

[css-d] IE8 rendering issue
I need some help with a rendering problem on IE8 that does not show on other
browsers including IE7, Firefox and Chrome. I am using an image replacement
technique for the title header. On IE8, there is a large gap at top of the
image so the backgrounds don't match up.
The website is http://piedmont-div.org/pilgrimage/ .
The CSS in question is :
#header h1 {
background: transparent url(/pilgrimage/images/pp_title.jpg) no-repeat top
left;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
font-size: 3em;
font-weight: bold;
overflow:hidden;
text-indent:-5000px;
height:79px;
}
The HTML is
h1Piedmont Pilgrimage/h1
I thought this might be related to a hasLayout issue. But adding zoom:1 did
not seem to help.
Any assistance would be appreciated.
Regards,
Scott Povlot

I am at 1680 / 116.5dpi -- a full length line-measure set 20 percent less than my default becomes extremely difficult to read. An easy-out, that would close the gap and simutaneously create a more readable line-measure is to set at fixed 980 width and center the page between the rails. Or wait to hear from other responders.

Since it wasn't, so far as I can tell, the thread is therefore ended. Perhaps it was implied in the question by saying: Any and all suggestions are welcome. The problem was framed as a problem of generating a huge amount of markup from a legacy system. If it had then included something like how do I make this page look better with CSS? then that would have been on-topic. Tacking on a wide-open question such as the above does not imply that such a question was asked, however. You seem to be quite heavy handed these days when the number of postings per day is on a reducing scale! Do you intend to shut down this discussion group? Assuming that taking administrative action twice in the past few weeks constitutes quite a heavy hand, then my hand has become heavier due to the increased number of off-topic postings. For some time, the community was essentially self-regulating. This seems to be less true of late and so I have taken a more active role, as has sometimes been the case since I founded the list back in January of 2002. Until the list really is shut down or I have handed the reins over to someone else, that will not change. And if I should have been more active over this past summer, then I apologize for my neglect. Moreover, I pity the members of any mailing list whose metric of success is quantity, not quality. As I said before, this thread is done-- though if the original poster would like to start a new thread which re-frames the problem in an on-topic way, that would of course be fine with me. Anyone who has questions or concerns about my administration of the list is always free to contact me off-list at css-d-ow...@lists.css-discuss.org or at the personal address I'm using to post this message. -- Eric A.
