 You're right, relative positioning is not useful in the way you are
 using it. I would use a negative margin to shift something up like
 that. But relative positioning, without applying any offsets, is
 useful for setting things for absolutely positioned elements to base
 off of. Offsetting relative positioned elements is very occasionally
 useful when it doesn't matter if a gap is left behind.

I see. Thank you.

[css-d] After positioning relative, IE places everything far below

2006-05-24 Thread Chris W. Parker
Hello,

I'm just now experimenting with 'position: relative;' and I've come to
find out that even when I place an element outside a div (with
relatively positioned elements inside it) it is still pushed below the
point where the positioned elements WOULD have been (had they not been
positioned).

So now it seems that I have to relatively position ALL the elements in
IE that come after my initial positioned elements if I want to fill the
gap. Firefox doesn't exhibit this behavior. There's got to be a work
around for this or it's also possible that I'm doing something wrong.

I'd submit a link but my page is on a test server that can't be reached
from the outside.


Thanks,
Chris.

 This does not sound wrong.
 http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/visuren.html#choose-position
 When a box B is relatively positioned, the position of the following
 box is calculated as though B were not offset.

Hmm... then I don't understand how relatively positioning anything can
be useful, if after you initially position something you're forced to
position ever next element after the first one.

 If Fx does show a different behavior, then most probably Fx is
 correct. I suspect the elements inside to be floated?

I have no floats.

 Then you have a problem in getting help from those who do not have
 access to a crystal ball.

You mean you don't have a crystal ball??

I moved everything as it is now to the public server so you can see it
here:

Thanks for your help Ingo.

[css-d] Vertically alignment of the custom list bullet (image)

2005-08-10 Thread Chris W. Parker
Hello,

Is it possible to adjust the vertical positioning of graphical list
bullets? I've got an arrow bullet that is resting about 2 pixels higher
than I'd like it to. I haven't found anything that suggets it can be
moved (css-d archives, google, my own experimentation).

Is this possible, and if so how can I do it?


Thanks,
Chris.

[css-d] non-floated element aligning to bottom of floated element (IE)

2005-07-15 Thread Chris W. Parker
Hello,

I'm not sure what this is called and I was unsuccessful in finding
anything about it in google.

I have a column that is 'float: left; width: 220px;' and a table that is
'margin-left: 220px;'. In Fx the table looks as expected, directly
adjacent to the floated column. But in IE the table is positioned to the
bottom right of the floated column, just below the bottom edge of the
floated element.

If I take off the 'float: left;' the table stays exactly where it is
when looking at it in IE. In Fx the table moves down to below the
floated element (as expected). In other words both browsers look the
same with the 'float: left;' commented out.

I tried floating the table to the right but that didn't do anything. I
also decreased the width of the table thinking it was a wrapping issue
but that didn't help either.

What am I missing?


Chris.

p.s. I'd provide a link but the site doesn't have an external ip
address.

[css-d] Still having a problem with scope

2005-05-26 Thread Chris W. Parker
Hello,

This time it's on a different item (never got the other one solved, will
come back to it later).

p class=printer_friendly
 a href=page.php target=_blank
  img src=pic.gif alt=Printer / Printer friendly
 /a
/p

The following css only affects the background!

p.printer_friendly a {
text-size: xx-small;
background: red;
}

Why???



Thanks,
Chris.

Because you're not paying attention Chris! It should be 'font-size' duh!

And of course I realize this IMMEDIATELY after I hit send! Ugh.

[css-d] CSS Scope: I think I'm being specific enough...?

2005-05-24 Thread Chris W. Parker
Hello,

I've got the following HTML...

form id=order_submit
 input type=submit value=Submit Order/
/form

...that is being influenced by some more general CSS rules (background
and border and width). If I declare those things within the style
attribute I can get it to look how I want. Yet when I use the following
CSS it's not affected:

form#order_submit {
width: 100%;
background: none;
border: none;
text-align: center;
}

form#order_submit input {
font-size: large;
font-family: Verdana;
}

I know that I'm referencing it correctly because my rules for the
input/ tag are working correctly. Even 'text-align' in the form's
declaration is working! It's just width, background, and border that are
not.

What am I missing here?


Thanks,
Chris.
