Re: [css-d] mysterious letter appearing in GECKO
I should say that in Firebug it shows, but in the HTML it doesn't. Must be a space or some character that WORD put in or one of the oddities... Just backspace that table id=attend right up to the div id of main to remove it.

[css-d] CSS writing style question
Hey list, question here on what is correct or not. We have a document online and to get it to format correctly when printed someone came up with this tag: Inline p style=page-break-after:always/p But I have also seen it in a CSS file like this: CSS p{ page-break-before: always; } Is it correct inline to not have the ; after always? I always thought you had to have it just as in the CSS structure? Just trying to get some clarity on this.

Re: [css-d] list nav not working as needed
http://www.pixelagogo.com/codetest/ Ok, here is the code link. As I mentioned before, what I am trying to do is: 1. Have the selected or page the tabs are about white and not the background color 2. Have the two background images align on the bottom with the bottom of the tabs. Right now in IE6 they don't but on Firefox they do. Not sure why. The tabs, Hotel Overview, Room Types, Property Info and Good to Know all have content under them in white and I need this nav to work so that when you select one of them, the rest function as they do now but the one selected is just a white box or without a state I guess. thanks all, Cory From: Jim Davis [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, May 01, 2008 3:15 PM To: Cory Shubert Cc: css-d@lists.css-discuss.org Subject: Re: [css-d] list nav not working as needed Cory, Can you upload your page to a server and send us the URL?

[css-d] IE6 and 5.5 issue with sidebar
Hi all, My website, http://www.pixelagogo.com is not acting correct in IE6 or 5.5 yet fine in all others tested. When I did a browser check, these are the two that are giving me fits. The issue is that the sidebar div doesn't align at the top as it does in all the other sections of the site. It is just this home page that is having the issues. I was using Firebug to try to see what is up but can't seem to find what is different on the home page vs. all the others that is causing this. If anyone can scan it and see what might be happening I would sure appreciate it.

Re: [css-d] SEO and CSS
If you site validates it means the code is clean and to the standards set by the W3C. That should be goal number one. If you website content contains your keywords and phrases you are paying for or are targeting, you have done all you can do and all you should expect CSS and XHTML to offer you. If you have a table or two, it won't hurt your SEO as long as the code validates. The bottom line is CSS and XHTML won't take away the need to market and promote your website, it will only make it that much easier.

[css-d] Layering of background images help
Hey list, I have a site that is giving me grief. I want to have an image on top of two different background images and I just can't seem to figure it out. Here are the details... Temp url: http://69.89.31.183/~pixelago/ Image to layer on top: gif image that is transparent and 210x300px My template is in WP and as such is in XHTML/CSS and PHP. I have two different background images being called in the header of the page, the top part that holds the navigation/website name and the red one under it. The CSS that is doing this is: #header { float: left; width: 768px; padding-bottom: 8px; background: #FF; clear: right; background-image: url(images/header-bg.gif); background-repeat: no-repeat; padding-left: 0px; height: 89px; margin-top: 13px; } And the lower one is: #navigation { clear: both; float: left; width: 100%; /*background: url(images/headers/rotate.php) no-repeat 0px 0px;*/ background: url(images/header.gif) no-repeat; height: 220px; } You will see that I have the rotate.php commented out because I was origninally going to have the lower section have the image built into that image, but now I want it to float above both of them. If I can also figure out to have it rotate on page refresh, that will just be bonus. So, I have tried to see where to add what to get this image of a skate sit on the top right third of this page header, and it either breaks the shell or goes behind the header images, but not on top. Z-index and all other things I have found on the web just are not working. I don't know if it because of the PHP or just my lack of understanding CSS...

Support for multiple backgrounds is still a bit weak, so you'll have to add, or reuse, a separate element. This separate element can be the image itself (an img), or any element that can carry a background. You can then absolute position this element, or float it in a suitable position and pull/push it into its proper place by its margins. An example: http://www.gunlaug.no/tos/alien/cs/test_08_0219.html ...using float on a new element, a div #overlay, which is given its own background. I didn't bother digging for your background, so don't know how that one will behave. When using floats this way the separate element(s) must be placed next to the fix-sized elements it(they) should end up in front of, or else it'll be impossible to know how far to push/pull it(them) to achieve a stable position. I've added a 'margin-doubling on floats' fix ('display: inline;) for IE6, and a 'position: relative' for reliable stacking in front. Note: IE6 show no top-navigation on your page. regards Georg -- http://www.gunlaug.no __ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/

Hi all, I am throwing our new design out there for critique and suggestions. http://www.nwaworldvacations.com BLOCKED::http://www.nwaworldvacations.com We tried to do a better job of CSS and moved into a more Web 2.0 vibe, at least that is what we were trying for. I am sure many will lament our use of tables still, but some habits die hard. I am curious to learn how we might have done a better job with our CSS, i.e. better use of IDs or Classes, less nested, more nested... We did add some Ajax/JavaScript functionality that we didn't have in our previous designs, and are noticing slow page loads and would love to learn or hear of how others handle this better. The Las Vegas destination page is a particularly slow one due to the backend loading of all the hotels... then do a price find and it can take up to 22 seconds to return all the prices for each of them. This is something we are working on to fix/solve/adjust. Our team is small and we based much of our work on the few classes or seminars we have been able to attend as well as on Andy Budd's CSS Mastery. I am posting here to help us continue on that learning curve. Thank you all and I look forward to the suggestions and comments.

[css-d] CSS buttons and Form data
I am a new member to the forum, so Hi from the sunny state of Minnesota... I have an issue that I can't find any help for on the web, so I am trying to see if you can help me. I have designed CSS buttons that will scale in size and have background images in them. They are comprised of three divs: div class=button2 div class=button2_R div class=button2_L pa href=laquo; Back/a/p /div /div /div The button divs hold a graphic on each end to complete the rounded corner button with gradation that everyone seems to like. Anyway, my Java developers don't like them, and say that it makes it a problem for them to pass form data since they aren't regular form buttons or simple graphic buttons. Even though the W3C recommends this, CSs buttons that is, no where that I can find does anyone talk about CSS buttons and passing of form data and how to do it or if it is an issue. Do you have any idea on this or have read anywhere how to solve this?
