Re: [css-d] Off topic, web hosting help
I know exactly where you are coming from, I was there a couple of years ago. A couple of bits of good news. (1) it is not as hard as it looks to make the next steps, and (2) there are hosting companies out there who offer exactly what you need for very modest fees. I have had very good experiences with dreamhost.com, but there are lots of other outfits out there offering similar things.

Re: [css-d] ADMIN: Off topic, web hosting help
Thanks, I have learnt the lesson, http://css-discuss.incutio.com/wiki/Off_Topic should have checked this before. I think that this is good point to stop this discussion it is a bit off-topic is not related to CSS by to my stupidity, incopetence, lack of common sense, call it whatever you want. I see your point, you don't want to try to understand why I did what I did. The safest is not to ask any question which is unrelated, but...you will have no answer, no help. I have seen couple more off-topic threads on this list recently, but I have to say my post made Eric really upset, is it because I didn't try to pretend asking off topic question. I marked it off topic to let people know and receive replays directly to me not to the list. Please contact me directly and stop this thread and my previous oneoff-topic as well.

Scott The fundamental problem with this page is the factor of 15. You have a list of possible products listed 15 times so that a customer could purchase multiple items. In my opinion javascript might be your best bet for cutting back on the shear volume of content in the page. There is another list that might be more helpful on that aspect of the problem. http://webdesign-L.com/ There could easily be other more appropriate lists. This just happens to be one I subscribe to. One approach to tackling the problem would be to have a single list of products and multiple lines of input. In a simplistic approach a radio button could be used as the selector. The form would open with the radio button selected for the first sales line. The customer could select a product from the master drop-down list, select quantity, then click a button indicating wish to buy it. This would add that item to a separate input field and move the radio button selection to the next item and restyle the drop-down list so that now it is positioned on the second line. etc. All of this would require some nice css styling (this list could help with that.) But to run the guts of the process you will need javascript or php or something similar. Basically to make that page accessible, in my opinion, you will need to divide the content size by 15.

I do think it is worth a shot though, else I would not mention it. To keep it more topical, you can gain some increases in the speed of page display by avoiding reliance on the cascade also.

[css-d] :after and :before psedo elements.
Whats people opinion on this? Do they really belong in the CSS specification. I think maybe CSS shouldn't change the Dom. Just trying to understand why they are there.

Re: [css-d] :after and :before psedo elements.
I think maybe CSS shouldn't change the Dom.
They're not really changing the DOM (at least not IMO). You can't add tags and
structure to the HTML with CSS - you can only change the value of text nodes
(and then, only by adding to them).
Just trying to understand why they are there.
So you can put presentational characters in your display. For example, perhaps
you have a table full of financial data. And on one page, you want negative
numbers to be displayed with a - sign, but in another page, you want the same
numbers displayed in parentheses. Data hasn't changed - just the presentation.
span class=negative200/span
With css for one page
.negative:before {content: '-'}
And for the other page,
.negative:before {content: '(';}
.negative:after {content: ')';}

AFAIK, this is not changed either. The added content is purely
*presentational*.
span class=negative200/span
With css for one page
.negative:before {content: '-'}
And for the other page,
.negative:before {content: '(';}
.negative:after {content: ')';}
I'm not sure this a good example as this added content is only served to a
few users...

I'm further not sure if this is a good example because if you don't
have either a minus symbol or parens in the markup your number is not
negative except presentationally.

Thanks Philippe, I recall that now. With browsers adding px to unit-less values I think these were the two issues *common* to all browsers.
