Re: [css-d] Customisable scrollbars with css

2006-07-25 Thread Jay Blanchard
[snip]
Is there anyway to customize scrollbars using css so that they don't
default
to the basic crappy windows grey ones? I know tis not a big thing as I
generally tend to stay away from having to make users scroll as much as
possible, but in some cases it can't be avoided, so if one was to go
about
it how would it be done, and that is only if it indeed can be done.

The issue is in IE 6. The page renders and as it is coming up I can  
see teh text on the page, but when all the graphics are applied, the  
text disappears. Really strange. The graphics and backgrounds in the  
div, so I am not sure why it is doing it.

Re: [css-d] New to CSS: Text randomly doesn't appear in IE/Windows

2006-04-18 Thread Jay Blanchard
[snip]
Everything works well in various browser views from my mac, but when  
the site is loaded it randomly doesn't show the text in the content  
div of certain pages.  however, if you view source in the browser,  
sometimes it will load and stay there, and other times it won't.  It  
will also show the text if you drag over it and highlight it, but not  
upon initial loading.
[/snip]

Google for IE peek-a-boo bug and you'll get your answers. There is no
magic bullet fix.

Re: [css-d] Enlarging Text with a Link

2006-04-14 Thread Jay Blanchard
[snip]
This is an interesting one posed by a new client site.  They would like
to 
have a small link at the top of the website that says Enlarge Text. 
Basically, they want the end user to be able to simply click on this
link 
and have the text on the entire site resize (for elderly clients who
don't 
know how to resize text).
[/snip]

Whoa, my boss asked the same exact thing yesterday...called it a
Senior's button. There are several methods for changing stylesheets, and
I found this article to be a good place to start

[css-d] Site check please....

2006-04-11 Thread Jay Blanchard
We are rapidly approaching launch and I am still awaiting content, but I
do have some things working (not all links work up in the header and the
search is not implemented yet). Also, I know that the site fails for
character set...we will be adding this to the Apache configs. You'll
need a username and password to see it (not ready for public
consumption) so use pockettest/pockettest

Re: [css-d] Browser Issues

[snip]
I'm hoping someone can help me here, quite some time ago we wrote a site
(www.avciarchitects.com) which has for quite some time now has been
running
without a problem, recently however the client has contacted us saying
he's
had complaints about it not rendering correctly on client's machines.

I've asked him to get more information on the environment but (other
than
Mac IE -which we're aware about) does it not render correctly for anyone
on
the list?
[/snip]

When I open in IE6 with script debugging enabled it throws an error
right away, but if it is a minimalist design then all is well.

[css-d] DIV width not the same in IE and FF

2006-03-24 Thread Jay Blanchard
http://www.pocket.com/index20060323.php

If you will look at this page, as well as clicking on the terms or
privacy links in IE and then FF you will see that FF renders the width
of div.wide correctly (width here is really determined by margin i.e.
#content div.wide{margin: 0px 40px 0px 40px;} whereas IE does not.

Is this part of the box model problem or am I looking at some other
beasty? Thanks very much for any help!

A different beasty having to do with float in the drop shadow
definitions. Once I changed the position to relative and got rid of the
float all was well.

Re: [css-d] Width of Content Bloc

2006-03-22 Thread Jay Blanchard
[snip]
I would like to have a navigation bar at the left side
of the browser window. The width of the navigation bar
should be 200 Pixel. The content block should consume
the rest of the width of the browser window - not more
and not less. When the browser window is larger the
content block should be larger. When the browser
window is resized smaller the content block should
become smaller. However the navigation bar at the left
of the screen should always be 200 pixel - no matter
of the size of the browser window. Is it possible to
do this using CSS and div?
[/snip]

There are so many tutorials about two-column layout on the web that you
will probably find a suitable one easily. Here is a basic idea

div.leftContent {
float: left;
width:200px;
padding-left: 5px;
}
#content div.rightContent{
margin: 0px 50px 0px 205px; 
}

The left padding in leftContent leaves a margin on the left so that
words aren't crammed against the edge.

The margins in the rightContent leave whitespace on the right (50px),
makes things easier to read. The 205px on the left leaves a 5px gutter
between the left side and right side.

Re: [css-d] New site, fully CSS-ified

2006-03-22 Thread Jay Blanchard
[snip]
Both for review for those so interested and for reference for others:

http://homepage.mac.com/james.childers/inside.html

This will eventually be more dynamic, and most of the links go  
nowhere, but I'm proud of the CSS work. It's a fairly simple site,  
but it illustrates (hopefully well) the following:

o Horizontal menus using unordered lists
o Simultaneously having a top and bottom background images  
independent of window size

Critiques welcomed.

IE6 test, I clicked on a link and when I came back the rock stack was
gone, only to be regained on a reload. Looks like the IE peek-a-boo bug.
It worked just fine in FF.

Is there a shortcut for adding css file addresses to deeply nested

@import url(../../../../myCSS.css);

Yes, unless you want to be absolute.
