Re: [css-d] :: ie 6/7 ::

2011-09-30 Thread Tom Livingston
The J is entirely visible in ie6, but still cut in ie7. The layout
is not flexible in 6, but I'm betting that's on purpose. Saw no other
display problems, otherwise. I always liked the airy feel of your
site.


aside
Navigation is a bit unfriendly to me, having to keep going back to the
'front page' to get to other sections of the site is odd to me. Also,
on a large enough screen, I am told what page I am on 3 times in large
print. Maybe hide the one on the bottom of the page when on a wide
screen? Just a thought.

The letter 'O' is covering the letter 'J'. This hack will work (should 
also work in IE6).


*:first-child+html nav P B#c1 {
  margin-bottom: -0.25em /* minus value to cater for the extra line 
height */

  line-height: 2;
}

Tested in IE7 comp mode in IE9.

BTW Bill, IE10 preview 3 is cool but not Win8. Freshly formatted machine 
with trusty IE9. :-)

Thanks Alan. Holding with this [currently on server]-- and seems ok 6/7 
browsercam:

/*compliant browsers*/
body.j nav p b#c1{min-height:46px;margin-bottom:0!important}
/*IE/7.0*/
*:first-child+html body.j nav p b#c1{line-height:1.35}
/*IE/6.0*/
* html body.j nav p b#c1{height:44px;margin-bottom:0}

As always,

PS We'll ask about what's up in Win8 here in Redmond.

IE does not support min/max width consequently  IE is set to a 
fixed-width. There are workarounds for this issue but hardly worth 
pursuing them nowadays...

Yeah. Seems odd to me too. But the alternative[to show all page links on 
all pages] is a worse nightmare [and horrible on a mobile device] -- 
particularly on the portfolio, paintings, and photos pages.




Also,
on a large enough screen, I am told what page I am on 3 times in large
print. Maybe hide the one on the bottom of the page when on a wide
screen? Just a thought.




No, it is a good point and one that I have wrestled with. Rather than 
deleting the hiding it , we may try just pushing it back in time and 
space with a lighter color value for desktop, and tablet. It is hidden 
in mobile.

[css-d] help with button background alignment

2011-09-30 Thread Chris Kavinsky
I'm having an alignment issue in Safari and Chrome with a button background
and I can't figure out what's going on. Basically, in the site search in the
upper right, I added a background image to the button and the search area is
using a corner radius. In Safari and Chrome (Firefox renders it the way I
want it to), the button pushes down about 10 pixels. I tried changing the
margin in the search area and the button itself, but it didn't affect
anything. I can't find anywhere in the css that's causing it. Anyone have an
idea why its pushing down in the two browsers and how to fix it? Here's the
site link:

I came across this a little while ago. It *might* help:

input[type=search] {-webkit-appearance : none;}

It is a bit of a weirdo thing… iirc it was even discussed once on this list. I 
wouldn't qualify it as a bug though.

Basically, the 'value' attribute for your submit button is empty; WebKit 
doesn't generate a line box inside the button – or rather, the line-box inside 
the button collapses somehow to 0 (zero) height, pushing it down (input 
elements basically being of the 'inline-block' this makes sense - those things 
are aligned based on the baseline inside it).

If you add a non-empty value attribute, then everything displays fine. Adding a 
value is also accessibility friendly, just saying. You can hide that text-node 
with negative text-indent or so [*].

demo with attractive colours:

[*] might cause problems for iExploder  8, I don't remember off hand and I'm 
too lazy to launch a VM.
