Re: [css-d] desktop. tablet. mobile.

2012-01-30 Thread Dan Kaufman
Love it. Very clean design. Good supportive palette.

BUT...the page/screen layout is a portrait / vertical layout vs.
landscape / horizontal  and (virtually) all monitors are horizontal. This
is forcing a piano roll page view...that is, I have to scroll down the
page to get to some very important information: the site menu and business
contact information.  And depending on the viewers real world screen
resolution they may not even realize that they need to scroll down.

Moving the Menu and Contact Info to a screen-left or screen-right may help
make the site more universally accessable.

Best,

DK

Re: [css-d] How To Clear CSS Caching?

2012-01-03 Thread Dan Kaufman


 2/ Delete the CSS file from the server. Boot. Upload the CSS file from the

 hardrive to the  server.

 I have tried this numerous time and even so the browser will still use the
 CSS stylesheet it has cached. 

I have used a simple trick in the past which has worked for me: I
mis-spell the css file reference on my index.html page, upload that page
and I will get a file not found error message.
Then I correct the mis-spelling and re-upload the file.  It will now find
the correct css file and read it.

For example:
link rel=stylesheet href=/css/global.css type=text/css /  is the
correct reference.

I mis-spell it to
link rel=stylesheet href=/css/OLD-global.css type=text/css /
And upload index.html.  This gives me an error since there is no
OLD-global.css

I then correct the mis-spelling and re-upload the file...and it is then
found and read.

Re: [css-d] dynamic CSS strategies

2011-10-09 Thread Dan Kaufman

One solution is to use your server-side programming to dynamically generate
the CSS file.  This way you can control all sorts of things in your layout
and look-and-feel relative to your database queries.

In your case, for your column of links, write an IF/ELSE statement based on
the record count. This code would be in the file that generates the CSS file
that is sent to the browser. Such as site_styles.cfm or .php or .asp, or
... which generates site_styles.css

IF #record count#  x
[css for one column width]
ELSE
[css for two columns]

The downside to this approach is that your CSS file is regenerated and
transmitted with EVERY call from the browser.  A workaround to this
problem would be to use inline CSS in the page that contains the link-list
column(s). This way you're not regenerating the entire CSS file, just the
particular code (selectors and rules) that pertain to a specific area of
your page.  This, of course, generates the dreaded future maintenance
problem(s)--you now can't go to one place to maintain your CSS, it is now
distributed throughout the site code/pages.

This is a CSS discussion list.  So programming issues are not on topic
here.
But if I keep my dynamic CSS question abstract enough I don't see why it
isn't a CSS issue as much as anything else.

Let's say my content management system is currently using a three column
layout, where a left side column of links is usually defined as 16% of
available width.
However,  if it turns out the current page has a larger than normal number
of navigation links,  I could (somehow) set the navigation column width to
25% so it could contain two vertical rows of clickable links, rather than
one vertical column.

What is the best way to do this?

My CMS codes could calculate the number of needed links before generating
any output, and then choose from any one of several hard-coded CSS files
depending on the total link count.  Or I could manipulate the browser's CSS
on the fly with Javascript and the DOM tree (which used to be a
browser-sniffing nightmare, the last time I tried it).  Are there any
alternate strategies I'm not aware of.simply because I'm an amateur
hacker and not a well-educated professional?

None of the above: Use a class to determine the various layout
conditions. Assuming some kind of inline templating engine:

 CSS:
.navigation {
  width: 16%;
}

.navigationWide {
  width: 25%;
}

Template:
div class=navigation[ if(linkCount = largeNumber){ print 
navigationWide } ]
  ul
lia href=etc
  etc
etc


Keep all your CSS in one place, introduce CSS hooks from the backend
depending on your various conditions. If your back-end isn't that
flexible, DOM Javascript can provide.

Re: [css-d] :: iPad ::

2011-09-04 Thread Dan Kaufman

Piano-scrl

Where the page is lng on the
vertical.  As the visitor scrolls down the page, very soon any information
about where they are is lost, out of sight.  All they see is the
screen-segment of the current content. The site ID is lost, out-of-sight.

In your site example at http://goo.gl/B2riT, in the iPad in landscape mode,
the displayed screen seems complete, there is no indicator that there is
more below.  Remember that the iPad doesn't have scroll bars, vertical or
horizontal.  So in landscape view I may think that I'm seeing it all but in
fact there is more below the bottom and more critically there is part of the
Nav menu below the bottom.

When I rotate to portrait view I see the full Nav menu and the screen also
looks complete BUT again you have content below the bottom that I may not
find unless I drag my finger to scroll the screen.

Try to design for full screen content with nothing hiding below the
bottom. Where this isn't possible, try to use an indicator, a clue to the
viewer, that there is more below.  For example a paragraph of text can
extend below bottom and the visitor will naturally scroll as he/she reads
it. But when the layout of your content is such that in a static view, the
opening, default, position, the screen has an its all there view your
visitor may not realize there is more below to scroll for.

Hope this helps.

Re: [css-d] :: iPad ::

2011-09-04 Thread Dan Kaufman

Yes to 1/
The entire width of your layout is visible in an iPad portrait mode, but not
all the height is visible.  column 1 which contains a vertical Nav menu, and
column 2 which contains content.

But in iPad landscape mode because of the individual height of each of the
li elements the overall vertical height of the entire Nav meun extends
below screen bottom.  I only see as far as the Contact list item.
Sitemap is below the bottom.

I was suggesting to reduce the overall height of the Nav menu so that ALL
Nav items appear on the screen when the iPad is rotated from portrait to
landscape.

I was also suggesting that your page layout is very long vertically and as
soon as a visitor scrolls down the page, following your content, he/she
looses sight of where they are, what website they are in and how to
navigate that site.

Consider using the FIXED position property on the Nav menu so it will hold
its position on the page. An element with fixed position is positioned
relative to the browser window. It will not move even if the window is
scrolled.  This way your Nav menu will always be visible while your visitor
scrolls down the long content column.

See: http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_positioning.asp

Dan K.

Re: [css-d] Can someone please help me.

2011-08-06 Thread Dan Kaufman
I would suggest something like this...

For the nav menu item:
lia href=#tourCosta Rican Real Estate Tour/a/li

Add a class to this item (to identify it uniquely) and then define a CSS
style to eliminate the underline.

For example, change your HTML like this:
li class=noLinea href=#tourCosta Rican Real Estate Tour/a/li

Then in your CSS define a class like this:

.noLine a {
border-bottom: 1px solid # 003fd2;
}

This will simply change the color of the white bottom border to the same
background color of the nav menu, effectively making it invisible.  But the
advantage is your nav layout won't change shape, you'll still have the same
bottom space below the last item as you currently have top space above
the first item.

And make sure you place this class definition after the set of #p7PMnav
definitions in your CSS.

I haven't tested this out, but it should work.  I often will make a class
called .last when I have a site with lots of lists and I want the last
item to be treated slightly differently than all the other items in the
list.

Hope this idea helps,


Dan

your client sits in front of every day.

No. I only hand code in Dreamweaver so I don't use their design view. I am
viewing the files via FF, through a local mamp web server. And then I view
the files again, in the same browser, FF but on the web server on the domain
name of the site. and that is where the discrepancy shows up.

Wait, are you comparing the preview in Dreamweaver to what you see in a
browser? I don't use Dreamweaver, but IIRC the appearance of the preview
should be taken with a grain of salt, and to look at the page in whatever
browsers you are planning to support.

Re: [css-d] h1 vertical jump

2011-02-10 Thread Dan Kaufman
What I noticed (in Chrome 9 Windows) is when going from the Contact page
to the Journal page, as Journal renders it first pushes the horizontal
rule down a pixel or two and then as if finishes rendering the horizontal
rule moves back up to its original/prescribed position.

This same push down and return happens on both pages and can be observed
simply by refreshing the page, either the Contact page or the Journal page.

Could this be that a declaration first sets the position of the header and
other elements above the horizontal rule and then a subsequent declaration
changes a specification, thus the push on the first line and the return on
the subsequent line.

I think the jump is caused by a change of font - the heading gets first 
rendered in some font available in the user's system, then changes to use 
the Calluna Regular web font. Sorry, I have no idea how this could be 
changed.

Re: [css-d] modernizer usage

2011-02-07 Thread Dan Kaufman
My first reaction to the code you've shown is that the syntax may not be
correct.

header
H1 id=NameA id=top/AMichael Bierman /H1
P class=Contactsemail:-deleted-| webaddress... /P
/header

I don't see and quotes on the id names, such as:

header
H1 id=NameA id=top/AMichael Bierman /H1
P class=Contactsemail:-deleted-| webaddress... /P
/header

Subject: [css-d] modernizer usage

Hi,

I hope that someone can help.

I'm trying to use modernizer (http://www.modernizr.com/) 1.6 which
seems to work well except for the following:

I am using the header element. I am unable to style it however. The
code in question looks like this:

header
H1 id=NameA id=top/AMichael Bierman /H1
P class=Contactsemail:-deleted-| webaddress... /P
/header

When I look in Explorer, I see the following nodes:

H1 id=NameA id=top/AMichael Bierman /H1
P class=Contactsemail:-deleted-| webaddress... /P
/header/

So of course no css was working on the header tag. The following hack
works, but seems contrary to modernizer's usage:
header
div id=header
h1 id=NameA id=top/AMichael Bierman /h1
p class=Contactsemail:-deleted-| webaddress... /p
div
/header

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Re: [css-d] Positioning a float

2011-01-27 Thread Dan Kaufman
This looks like a great solution. I can't wait to use it myself.

However, it appears to be a case (for me on my browsers) of IE doing the job
asked for and Chrome not quite. A reversal of my normal experience.

In IE 8 on Windows it works great. But in Google Chrome (also on Windows) I
am seeing the text at the tops of the (orange) images half-overlapped by the
image--as if there were more padding needed on the tops of the images.

While not always the best solution, I often give up fighting with IE and
write a separate IE css file to adjust things back to where I need them
and just include that in the head with an IE conditional comment wrap,
such as:
!--[if IE]link rel=stylesheet type=text/css
href=css/SK_screenIE.css media=screen /![endif]--

 I need the in-flow, wrapping properties of a float combined with the
positioning properties of an absolutely-positioned element.

 Is anyone aware of a way of achieving that?

You may be able to adapt the method shown here...
http://www.satzansatz.de/cssd/tmp/floatspacer.html
...for the line-up and appearance you describe: a float positioned at 
the bottom with text wrapping around it.

[css-d] @media float problem

2011-01-26 Thread Dan Kaufman
I am having a (very frustrating) problem of an apparent non-working float
within an @media tag.

 

The site is a photography gallery site with a main photo div and a
right-hand vertical column of thumbnail images in default landscape mode.
When viewing the site in portrait mode, such as rotating the iPad 90-degrees
to vertical, I’m using the declaration:

 

@media only screen and (orientation: portrait)

{

/* modified id’s and classes for portrait mode go
here */

}

 

This works fine, the issue/problem is when the iPad is rotated to portrait
the right-hand vertical column of thumbnails should move to become a
horizontal-row below the main photo.  This should be accomplished by a
simple float: left declaration.  However, the float does not appear to be
working—or at least it won’t work for me.  The thumbnails move to below the
main photo, but they remain as a vertical column.

 

Such as: 

 

#thumbnails ul

  {

  float: left;

  margin: 0;

  padding: 0;

  } 

 

Etc.

 

I have tried “everything” –except the correct solution—so far and with every
change I make the column of thuimbnails remains vertical and will not go to
horizontal.

 

The temp version of ths site is at:
http://studiokaufman.com/site/index1.html

The css is at: http://studiokaufman.com/site/css/SK_004_Base.css

The @media portrait mode declarations are located about ¾’s of the way down
and are marked as:

/* iPad mode */ 
@media only screen and (orientation:portrait){

 

If you don’t have an iPad handy, if you have a sufficently large monitor you
can simply re-size the browser window to a portrait aspect ration and the
(orientation:portrait) declarations will come into play.

 

 

As somebody wise once said: the obvious is often the most un-obvious. If
anyone out there can help me see the obvious it would be greatly
appreciated.

 

Thanks,

 

Dan

Hello,

I am a CSS newbie and wondering why the positioning of my SWFObject
alternate content moves when viewed on an iphone and appears in the
center of the screen.

Here's the link:
http://www.drain-o.com/index.html

1) Is it because I've got a div=alternate2 set to absolute
positioning and nested inside of div=sidebarright?

2) Does anyone know of a way to view to get a browser view of how
this looks on an iphone?

Thank you for offering help.

Re: [css-d] @media float problem

2011-01-26 Thread Dan Kaufman

Thanks to Kevin and David for your help and insight to spot the width:
80px; . This declaration was in the default landscape mode section of the
css and was (for me) out of sight, out of mind.  I had suspected that the
width declaration was part of the problem, but all the futzing around I was
doing was down in the @media for the iPad section of code.  I've learned my
lesson.

It works now.  Just need to clean up the details.

Kudos,

Dan Kaufman

I think that the width: 80px; on #thumbnails, and width: 100%; on

and the thumbnails lined up for me. HTH.
