[css-d] content div dropping down in IE

2007-10-15 Thread Bruce Gilbert
I am working on the layout of a site which involved a scrolling (when
the content allows it) div that is supposed to align to the right of a
side column (floated left).

here is the url:

http://warriorsarise.org/

appears fine to me in FF and Safari.

in IE the content col (named #content_area in the CSS) drops down
below the side nav (named #announcements). It appears there should be
enough pixel space in the container div, so I am not sure ehat is
going on with IE. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

CSS is located at :

[css-d] CSS to eliminate dotted borders on hyperlink clicks

2007-10-06 Thread Bruce Gilbert
I remember reading somewhere about CSS you can add, so that links
won't get the dotted border around them when you click on the links ,
but I cannot remember what it is. Can anyone refresh my memory? This
may be just a Firefox thing.

[css-d] 3 col layout breaks in IE6

2007-07-01 Thread Bruce Gilbert
Hello,

I have a test page set up at http://www.mellonaidftp.com/ssri/test.php

the page displays as intended in IE7 and Firefox, but in IE6, it blows up.
The rounded corner boxes that should be floating right are displaying in the
middle column and the middle column text is barely making an appearance.
Also, the rounded corner boxes are appearing way too wide in IE6. They
should only be 215px wide.

The CSS I am using is http://www.mellonaidftp.com/ssri/CSS/Secondary.css and
for a few things I am targeting IE browsers only and using
http://www.mellonaidftp.com/ssri/CSS/Secondary_IE.css

can anyone offer any suggestions  on getting IE6 to behave with this layout?

thanks in advance!

I think I figured out my problem, it was an issue where I had a width set to
 the ul li, and that was causing it to break in IE6

[css-d] gradient shadow not covering float

2007-06-26 Thread Bruce Gilbert
hello,

on my test page here:

http://www.mellonaidftp.com/ssri/test.php

there is a gradient that starts below where the big brown image place holder
is, where you see the breadcrumb links and printer/email a friend icons.
This gradient needs to extend all the way to the right behind the third
column where you see the latest news/upcoming events/Meet the Team boxes.
but the gradient is stopping in front of that div.

I thought it might be a float clearing issue so I added the CSS found here:
http://www.positioniseverything.net/easyclearing.html

and applied class=clearfix to the divs involved, but this doesn't seem to
fix the problem. The gradient still does not continue behind the
'InformationColumn' div.

any suggestions?

the full CSS is here:

http://www.mellonaidftp.com/ssri/CSS/main.css

thanks in advance!

[css-d] help with content column dropping down in IE6

2007-05-07 Thread Bruce Gilbert
I am having difficulty with IE6 (again). The problem is on this page
http://www.cassell.com/draft/tandem/CSS_Design/index.html
http://www.cassell.com/draft/tandem/CSS_Design/site.css

In  ie 6 #maincol.narrow wants to drop down no matter what I try.I tried
adjusting the widths, margin etc. I have written specific styles for IE6
only, but nothing I try has worked.



I even tried this hack and designated in an IE6 only stylesheet:

* html #InnerContainer {
overflow-x: auto; overflow-y: hidden;
width: expression(660);
}

no luck...

any help is appreciated!

[css-d] CSS menu not behaving in IE 6

2007-05-02 Thread Bruce Gilbert
Hello,

I am trying to figure out the best solution to why in IE6, The last tab in
on my Menu is not displaying inline like it does in FF and IE7. It appears
extra padding or margin is being added between the UL LI tags or
something.The tab for 'About VAE; drops down below the menu within the
content section in IE6. My solution would be to use conditional comments and
add a IE6 only stylesheet adjusting the width for the menu LI's but I would
rather the spacing and appearance be consistent cross browser. If you use
IE6 you can see what is happening.

the URL is http://www.cassell.com/draft/vae/index.php

and the stylesheet can be found at
http://www.cassell.com/draft/vae/styles/style.css

any assistance on a better solution is greatly appreciated.

[css-d] cannot get side shadows for outer div to display right in FF

2006-09-11 Thread Bruce Gilbert
Hello,

I am attempting to create a CSS based page which is centered within a
browser window and has a shadow effect on the outer div repeating vertically
down the left and right sides. I have this looking decent in IE, but in
Mozilla/FF it is really screwy looking with the shadow not fitting the
layout (which means I am doing something wrong).

Re: [css-d] cannot get side shadows for outer div to display right in FF

2006-09-11 Thread Bruce Gilbert

 Yes :-)

 Add borders on the following elements and you'll see better

 #outer_div{
 height: 100%;
 margin-left: auto;
 margin-right: auto;
 width:58em;
 border:1px solid lime
 }

 #shadow_container{
 margin:0;
 padding:0;
 width:62em;
 border:1px solid red
 }

 #shadow_container is much wider than #outerdiv. Things start to
 misalign from there.
 Set the width of #shadow_container to 100%, and things look already
 much better.
 There are other things you'll need to tweak, but you'll them once the
 above is fixed.

 It 'works' in IE 6, because it is broken, and expands the width of
 boxes when the content is wider than the allocated width. Standard
 compliant browsers don't expand them (and IE 7 has fixed that bug).

I have made the adjustment you suggested. You can view the updated pages

[css-d] help with float drop in third column of CSS layout -Mozilla Browsers

2006-06-28 Thread Bruce Gilbert
Hello,

I am trying out a layout using floats and margins with multiple
columns and in mozilla browsers the third column in the bottom half of
the layout is dropping (the one labeled portfolio) and the only way I
can push it up is through a negative margin top for that column. I
know there is a better fix though and I need to find tthe cause of the
drop first. Also I know everything is screwed up in IE and I will get
to fixing that later, but first I want everything to work in FF.

The link is http://www.inspired-evolution.com/layout_test.php and the
CSS is at the top.

thanks in advance,

Re: [css-d] floats or margin alignment?

2006-06-19 Thread Bruce Gilbert
so for a two col layout as an example you would float the first col
left and for the second col add margin-left to clear the first col,
and add spacing, but there would be no need to float the sec col,
right. Would that be the best approach?

 I'd say that if you can do it with margin adjustments that's the way
 to go. If you need to get a little more sophisticated then move to
 floats, but use them as sparingly as possible.  For a two column
 layout you need just one float, for example, not two.

Re: [css-d] fixed background over scrolling text problem

2006-06-15 Thread Bruce Gilbert
I am getting this to work fine in Mozilla and Safari, but in IE the
background is nowhere to be found. I did also notice in the browsers
where it does show up is when you resize the browser window, the
background is static and doesn't reposition along with the rest. I am
thinking this may be due to the fact that I have one div as position:
absolute for the scrolling effect and everything else is
position:relative. Is there a better way to do this so that my
background image works in this layout? Sorry I cannot provide an
example, but it's yor basic layout with an outer container div, header
div, content div, and footer with two columns within the content div,
onle col floated left  and one right. The right col has scrolling
content so it is positioned absolutely and everying else is positioned
relative.

Hello,

I am attempting a suckerfish type menu on this page (

issues. In IE 6 the submenu isn't aligning vertical to the main navigation.
It is appearing off to the right a bit. In Mozilla, the main menu isn't
centered like I want. It's appearing off to the right. In both IE and Moz
there is too much spacing in between the dark blue row that contains the
menu. I am referring to the top and bottom margins, but cannot see where
this spacing is coming from. I having been looking at the CSS for a while,
and belive I need a fresh pair of eyes to look at it!

[css-d] rounded corner box is funky in IE, surprise surprise!

2005-10-27 Thread Bruce Gilbert
I am applying a technique I read about using images for the corners along

position:relative, but they aren't having an effect. Maybe I don't have them
in the proper places.
 Any other suggestions?

[css-d] text not wrapping around floating div in IE

2005-10-20 Thread Bruce Gilbert
Hello,

on the personal site that I am working on
(http://www.inspired-evolution.com/About_Me.php), in IE the paragraph
text is dropping below the right floated div (suggested links), (see
mozilla, firefox for intended look).  I was hoping for some
suggestions to achieve the same effect in IE as in FF, without
changing the CSS for the paragraph text. That is. change the right
floated div (#box) instead of the #main_content p stuff. One way I
know of is wrapp the text in a div and float left for IE, but this
would be a major pain. Any other suggestions?

full CSS is at http://www.inspired-evolution.com/Gilbert.css

[css-d] don't want image on last li link!

2005-10-18 Thread Bruce Gilbert
I have a uborganized list which are also hyperlinks. I am wanting an image
to appear to the right of the first two links, but not the third (or last).
 what I have is in the XHTML
 div id=sitemap
ul class=sitemap
lia href=Site_Map.php title=link to our Site MapSite Map/a/li

lia href=Contact.phpContact Us /a/li

li class=lasta href=Consultation.php title=link to free consultation
form Free Consultation/a/li
/ul
/div
 and in the CSS:

ul.sitemap li a{
padding:0 1.5em 0 .5em;
background:url(/footer_dots.gif) right no-repeat;
}

ul.sitemap li.last a{
padding:0 1.5em 0 .5em;

}

 this doesn't quite work, as the image still appears to the right of :li

what do I need to do to accomplish this?

[css-d] page with form is displaying wacky

2005-10-05 Thread Bruce Gilbert
I am testing a page that has two block columns beginning about 1/3rd down
the page. There is supposed to be a line that extends all the way to the
footer in between these two columns, and this is working on all pages
except. this one:

http://www.fortuneinteractive.com/Consultation_test.php

I think the problem is lying with the form code in the left quandrant which
is causing in mozilla no diving line and the footer is askew to the left. In
IE there is a diving line, and the footer is o.k, but the right div drops
down. When I take the form code out the problem is not there (hence my
deducting that the form is causing this problem).

any ideas on a fix?

[css-d] IE 5 Mac totally not diggin my CSS!

2005-09-28 Thread Bruce Gilbert
Hello,

I know no-one (or hardly no-one) uses IE 5 Mac anymore, but I am
trying to at least have my site presentable in that browser (it
currently is not). Right now nothing shows up at all except the outer
div and header graphic. The site is at
http://www.inspired-evolution.com/

and the CSS is http://www.inspired-evolution.com/Gilbert.css

any assistance or improvement/hacks for Mac IE 5 is greatly appreciated.

[css-d] need to get rid of scroll ar in FF/mozilla, but have div extend to footer

2005-09-27 Thread Bruce Gilbert
Hello,

on a new site I am woking on (http://www.fortuneinteractive.com/) in
Mozilla/FF. you get the horizontal and vertical scroll bar and I know
the reason why. It is because I am overflow:auto on my content div. I
added this after googling and finding this was a float clearing
solver.

the content div has the following CSS:

div#text_area{/*hiding from IE*/
background:url(bg_text_area.jpg) repeat-y;
color:#333;
text-align:left;
border:0;
padding-top:2em;
margin:0;
height:100%;
overflow:auto;
}

full css

If I don't have the overflow:auto  in FF/moz the div doesn't extend
all the way to the footer like I want. Any suugestions on solving this
problem in Mozilla, FF?

full CSS:
http://www.fortuneinteractive.com/main.css

[css-d] new warnings when validating CSS file

2005-09-19 Thread Bruce Gilbert
Today, I am suddenly getting all of these warnings when validating my CSS 
file that weren't there last week. I didn't make any major changes to my css 
file. Most of the warnings say either:
 You have no color with your background-color :
 or :
 You have no background-color with your color 
 and some say:
 Same colors for color and background-color in two contexts 
 has anyone else experienced this and know how to fix these warnings and 
also why they would appear today, but not last week?

[css-d] repost- unwanted gaps surrounding div in IE 6

2005-09-14 Thread Bruce Gilbert
I posted this several weeks ago, but didn't get a response, so I am 
reposting.
 For a page I am working on such as this one:
 http://www.semlogic.com/test/newsletter1.php
 with the dark grey bar below the top banner there is unwanted spacing 
around the bar which is a div.
 I have added padding:0, margin:0 to all of the surrounding divs, and tried 
placing all of the code on one line etc. nothing has worked so far.
 the CSS can be found at:
http://www.semlogic.com/test/CSS/Global.css
 using IE 6 on PC running windows XP.
 anything else I should try?

[css-d] possible to declare multiple backgrounds on divs in CSS?

2005-09-07 Thread Bruce Gilbert
Is this possible to do?
 #content_wrapper{

width: 720px;
margin:0;
padding:0;
text-align: left;

background: #fff url(../assets/images/left_bg_repeat.gif) repeat-y top left;
 background: url(../assets/images/right_outer_repeat.gif) repeat-y top 
right;


}
or are you only allowed onebakground per div?
 I am trying to create a repeating shadow effect on the right and left sides 
of my outer div as well as have a repeating side column background, but 
don't want to have to create three separate divs to hold these background 
images if possible.
 thanks,

[css-d] design breaks upon text resize (IE 6 PC)

2005-09-01 Thread Bruce Gilbert
I am testing a site in IE 6 pc and noticed that when you resize the text, 
the Middle and right divs drop down below their container.
 I have all the position sizing set in pixels, except for the font sizes 
which are set in ems for resizability. I assume this is happening because 
the text is expanding and is pushing the other div blocks outward, but was 
wondering if there was a way to prevent this from happening.
 the test page is at http://www.semlogic.com/test/index.htm
 and the CSS is at http://www.semlogic.com/test/CSS/Global.css
 if anyone can offer any pointers, I would be greatly appreciative.
 thx,

On this page:http://www.semlogic.com/test/index.htm

I have a little unwanted white space when viewing in IE PC 6 between
the grey bar near the top and the left blue column. I have adding
padding:0 and margin:0 to both divs and also tried the holly hack for
the 3 pixel jog, but I am still getting the spacing.

the CSS is at : http://www.semlogic.com/test/CSS/Global.css

anyonw know what *bug* is occuring here? (assuming it is a bug)

[css-d] problems with overlapping elements

2005-08-18 Thread Bruce Gilbert
On a page I am working on, I am trying to get a background image for a
search bar to overlap and appear in front of another background image.
I am not sure if this is even possible, but I am trying to do it using
z-index to no avail.

the page url is:http://www.semlogic.com/new_version/template.htm

and the relevent CSS is

#header {
margin:0;
padding:0;
width:780px;
height:142px;
background: url(../images/bkg_header.gif);
z-index:100;
}

#grey_bar{/*grey bar used below logo header*/
background:#c1c1c1 url(../images/search_bkg.gif) top right no-repeat;
width:100%;
height:auto;
z-index:1;

}

the grey bar has a background positioned right which is the background
for the search bar and I want that to extend beyond (above) the
boundaries of the grey_bar div and appear in front of the image in the
header div.

hope this makes a little bit of sense.

the full css is at :

http://www.semlogic.com/new_version/css/style.css

any suggestions for accomplishing this is greatly appreciated!


thanks,

how to get IE to behave on this?

[css-d] trouble getting floated images to look right in IE (PC)

2005-08-10 Thread Bruce Gilbert
Hello all,

I need some help getting this page to look better in IE6 PC:

http://www.wealthdevelopmentmortgage.com/Bruce/Team.htm

the problem is in IE there is no spacing between the images of the
people picts and the bio text. When I put a border around the content,
it looks like the image is contained within the text div. and no
matter how much padding I apply nothing works.

The way it looks in FF PC is the way it's supposed to look with the
text floated to the right of the image and 25px spacing between the
image and text.

TIA

the CSS can be found at :http://www.wealthdevelopmentmortgage.com/Bruce/WDM.css

[css-d] a few more issues in FF (perhaps dealing with float clearing)

2005-08-03 Thread Bruce Gilbert
Hey guys,

I am having a few more issues at :

http://www.wealthdevelopmentmortgage.com/test/test_file.htm

CSS:

http://www.wealthdevelopmentmortgage.com/test/WDM.css 

when reviewing in FF, I notice the image (the key in hand image), has
some unwanted space between the top of the image and the light green
bar above it (I want no space). Also, I have tried adding a right
margin to the text, but it doesn't take effect.

I am thinking there may be another possible float clearing issue, but
it may not be that, and wanted to see who else may know more than me
just guessing.

thanks,

[css-d] nav menu list issues with IE

Hello,

for my top navigation menu located at

to get the double pipe lines I am using in my CSS

#navcontainer li:before {
content: || ;
color: #fff;
font-size: 1.5em;
line-height: 1em;
padding-right: .25em;
}

I got this idea from on of the CSS list featured on http://css.maxdesign.com.au/

but, this doesn't seem to want to work on IE. Works on the other
browsers I tested, though.

any suggestions to please IE???

[css-d] couple of dropcap issues (mostly IE)

2005-07-18 Thread Bruce Gilbert
Hello,

on my home page (http://www.inspired-evolution.com), I have created a
fancy dropcap for the I in inspired and noticed a couple of issues.

1) The I in inspired isn't centered in the blue background like I
want it to be.

2) In IE the rest of the word (nspired) looks indented to the right,
throwing off the effect.

*note: I have only checked on mozilla mac and IE PC so far so there
may be other issues in the other different browsers as well. I would
appreciate checks on this.

The CSS I am using for the drop cap is:

.dropcap {/*for the dropcap itself*/
color: #fff;
float: left;
width: .75em;
text-align:center;
margin-right:.15em;
padding-right:.25em;
font: 5em georgia, times, serif;
background-color:#369;
border:2px dotted #fff;
}


p.cap {/*for the dropcape para*/
font-size: 1em;
padding-bottom: 1em;
margin-left: 2em;
line-height: 17px;
text-indent: 2em;
}

[css-d] not getting the desired hover effect on bottom links

2005-07-15 Thread Bruce Gilbert
Hello,

I am having a problem getting the proper CSS to affect the bottom
links on most of my pages.

If you go to my home page :http://www.inspired-evolution.com and look
towards the bottom above the footer, you will see the links (recent
updates, about this site, accessibility etc.)

on the home page, I am getting the desired effect with the top and
bottom borders on hover.

However, on any other page the hover effects are a blue background
which is the default hover effect on a href's. An example would be
the same links on this page:

http://www.inspired-evolution.com/Hireme.php

the code is the same on every page.

sample xhtml code:

div id=bottom_linksul id=horizontal_list2lia
href=Recent_Updates.php title=Recent UpdatesRecent
Updates/a/li/ul/div
/div

I am sure this is a specificity issue, but I haven't been able to solve it!

for instance the CSS for the hover effects on the bottom links:

#horizontal_list2 li a:hover {
font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
border-top: 1px dotted #003;
border-bottom: 1px dotted #003;
}

I tried adding both #bottom_links and #main_content before
#horizontal_list2, but neither of those attempts had the desired
effect.

The CSS is located at http://www.inspired-evolution.com/Gilbert.css

any assistance /suggestions are greatly appreciated!

[css-d] image mouseover effect with CSS not working

2005-06-15 Thread Bruce Gilbert
Hello,

I am having trouble getting an image rollover effect to work in  CSS.
Basicially I have a thumbnail image that I want to have a border that
expands when you mouseover the image (which is a link).


the code would be something like a href=foo.htmimg src=foo
class=border/a

and I thought in CSS this would work:

img.border a:link{border: 1px solid red} 

img.border a:hover{border: 3px solid red}

but it doesn't.

what would be the proper method here?

[css-d] uneven divs in IE6 win

2005-06-14 Thread Bruce Gilbert
I have noticed a problem in IE 6 win on the PC for a site I am working
on located at http://www.inspired-evolution.com. The outer-div and
Inner div content don't seem to be aligning. One is overlapping the
other on the right hand side allowing the background to show through
top/right. I'm not sure if one div is stretching too far or another is
not stretching far enough. it may be a combination of both!

The CSS is at http://www.inspired-evolution.com/Gilbert.css

To the best of my testing It looks like this is only an IE PC issue.

any assistance is greatly appreciated.

[css-d] specifing div height not working in Mac IE5

2005-06-13 Thread Bruce Gilbert
Hello,

I know very few people use Mac IE anymore, but I use it some to test
and develop and I am stuck on an issue with a site I am working on.

Specifying height for a container div, soesn't seem to want to work

the Div CSS in question is:

#main_content{
background:#fff;
min-height: 540px;/* set here min height  */
height: auto !important;/* overwrite the height */
height: 540px;/* this is also the min height for IE */
border:5px solid #999;
width:750px;
}

the div only wants to extend to the amount of content and not to the
height given for the div. An example would be
http://www.inspired-evolution.com/Portfolio.php IAFAIK) this is only
occuring on Mac IE-5.

Any suggestions is greatly appreciated.

TIA

[css-d] consistent container height no matter the amount of content

2005-06-08 Thread Bruce Gilbert
Hello,

I am working on setting up a personal web site and I am testing on a
Mac in Mozilla. I have only tested briefly in other browsers, but one
problem I am noticing is the height of my container div only extends
to the amount of the content and not a fixed height. I want each page
to be the same height. I tried using height:100% on both the body and
container elements, but that doesn't work.

How can I accomplish this? I know JS is sometimes used to keep columns
all the same height and didn't know if that was also the only 
solution for this problem or not. Anyway, to see what I am referring
to go to:


http://www.inspired-evolution.com/Resume.php

 versus 
http://www.inspired-evolution.com/Contact.php

I would want both these pages to have the exact same height...

CSS is at http://www.inspired-evolution.com/Gilbert.css

the divs in question are :

#wrapper_outer{/*wraps page*/
width:750px;
height:100%;
font-size:1em;
border-right: 5px solid #036;
border-left: 5px solid #036;
min-height:100%;
}

and 

#wrapper_inner{/*creates wrapper div around textual content and footer*/
height:100%;
background-color:#036;
}


TIA for any assistance with this!

[css-d] a little confused on these hacks on which browser they pertain to

2005-06-01 Thread Bruce Gilbert
A couple of CSS hacks I see used quite frequently are setting a :

width:45em and also a w\idth: Is the normal way to do width for IE and
the other one for Gecko? I'm a little confused on that. Also, what
does htmlbody #wrapper (or anything similar) do? and what browser(s)
does that target?

TIA

Re: [css-d] using percentages, paragraph too small within tables

 To scale the font-size, you have to declare a value  100%.
 

thanks, but I tried that, and it didn't seem to work.

here is a link to the page I was referring to:

http://206.211.80.55/Schools/schools_details.php

you will be prompted for login:

username: administrator
password: dpsweb#55

scroll down until you see the paragraph 'directions', and underneath
that you will see 'from I-85...below that you will see really tiny
text that says 'why am I so small?'. This is the text I am referring
to.

[css-d] alt tag in CSS?

2005-05-26 Thread Bruce Gilbert
I don't suppose there is a way to give an image an alt tag when you
are calling the image as a background in CSS is there? div
id=image/div or is the rule of thumb, if the image requires an
alt tag, specify in the html??

TIA

[css-d] why doesn't this work in gecko browsers

2005-05-25 Thread Bruce Gilbert
I am trying to do a table border in CSS and my border shows up in IE
(PC), but not Gecko.

table.borders{/*used when creating a table w/ borders*/
border:1px solid #d3d3d3;
border-collapse:collapse;
padding:10px;
}

table td.borders {/*used when creating a td with borders*/
padding: .25em;
border: 1px solid #d3d3d3;
border-collapse:collapse;
}

it's a nested table, so maybe that's the issue?

eg:

table
tr
td
table class=borders
tr
td class=borders/td
/tr
/table
/td
/tr
/table

any ideas?

TIA

[css-d] how would I set the font size in CSS for something like this?

2005-05-24 Thread Bruce Gilbert
I have a percentage set up in my body css (100.01%) and various
percentages of that size for other elements. I have a form within an
unorganized list where the font size of my option links are appearing
way to small in Gecko browsers so I need to know how I would set it in
CSS.

the code is something like this:

ul
li
form action= onSubmit=return jumpMenu(this.Forms) 
  
select name=Forms title=
  option class=selectionCommunity Education.../option
  option value=/option

/select
/li
/ul

I thought it would be something like:

ul li form option {font-size:100%}
...but that doesn't work :-(

any suggestions?
