[css-d] Justify a banner to a column

2010-11-28 Thread Seamus McCauley
Hi everyone, and thanks for your help with my last query, much appreciated. I'm 
trying to get the banner image in my Typepad blog 
(http://www.virtualeconomics.co.uk) to justify not to the left of the screen 
but 
to the left column margin. Is that possible, and if so how? Also, how do I get 
rid of the black horizontal line that sits under the banner? Thanks.

No problem ... just remove all superfluous elements and styling, and 
float the (now simplified) banner in place - lining it up exactly where 
and how you like.


Sorry if that sounds a bit too clever, but you use too many elements 
for such a simple layout. A clear case of divitis.
For instance: a well-styled H1 is probably all you need for banner in 
that layout. Whether your template allows for simpler and more 
flexible and robust markup, I don't know.


Your stylesheet also looks badly organized and has too many repetitions 
and superfluous styling to lend itself well to simple 
adjustments/repairs/fixes. A clear case of overstyling. Better start 
from scratch, and get rid of about 70% of the stylesheet weight in the 
process.



 Also, how do I get rid of the black horizontal line that sits under
 the banner?


#banner {border: none;}

...will do when placed correctly - after all other #banner styles, but, 
again, you have so many style-repetitions targeting the same elements 
that you better go through it all yourself and correct or delete the 
style that sets that bottom border in the first place.

Georg

And please : if you /must/ have a masthead graphic as opposed
to a simple H1 textual header, could you add an ALT attribute ?
Remember, not everyone can see.

[css-d] flash element covering nav dropdowns in Chrome

2010-11-28 Thread Jody Levinson
There's a dropdown menu until Live in the menu on this page: 
http://evamoon.net/ that shows properly in FF but in Chrome, the Flash slide 
show covers it. I think I've got my z-index layers set up properly, but I can't 
fix it. Any thoughts?

The CSS validates.

Thanks!

2010-11-28 Thread Mark Senff
Isn't this one of those things where this additional parameter would fix the 
trick?

param value=wmode name=transparent

I'd be more sure if the same issue happened in Firefox as well, but give it a 
try I guess

Thanks for the suggestion, Mark. Sadly, it doesn't help.

[css-d] Text block in vertical middle

2010-11-28 Thread Kim Brooks Wei

Hi People,

I'd like to put information about these websites to the right of the 
jpgs, right smack in the vertical middle of the jpg height 
http://is.gd/hW4i9.


What might be a good way to do this?

Cheers,
Kimi

Sounds like the Internet Explorer Z-Index bug.
Try giving one of the parent elements (navcontainer or header)a higher
z-index (1000+).

Try adding...

#navcontent ul {display: table;}
#navcontent ul li a {display: table-cell; vertical-align: middle;}
#navcontent ul li p {display: table-cell; vertical-align: middle; 
padding-left: 6px;}


...and see if that's close enough.
