[css-d] IE 7/8 issues

2010-05-03 Thread Jenni Beard
Hi all,

 

In Firefox, this looks exactly as it should.  Same goes for Chrome.

 

http://charlestonhealinghands.com/1/template.html 

 

In IE8, it's almost correct except that the navigation has a white
background which covers up some of the background image that should show
(should have no background color on the main nav).  When you mouse over
services, the sub-nav also comes up w/a white background instead of yellow
as it should.

 

In IE7, the same issues exist as in 8, but also the clear left is not
working so it's pushing the content down with a huge gap left.  It's a mess.

 

Any thoughts?  I am at my wits' end with this!

 

Thanks!

 

Jenni

Thank you so much, I did not realize that was there.  I never really
understood what that bottom section was there for--I am really trying to
learn proper CSS but struggling at times.

I am still not clear as to why in IE7 the clear left is not working.  Any
thoughts on that part??

Thank you again!!

Re: [css-d] expandable content box spilling into footer area?

2010-04-19 Thread Jenni Beard
Thank you both for your input.  I've tried both of those option, though,
with no success.

 

Making the content-bottom div an inner div prevents the main content area
from expanding.

 

The negative top margin for the content-bottom seemed like the best solution
when I began working on this, but in IE (testing in 7, have not tested 8
yet) the background image for the content-bottom overlaps the text and
covers it up completely.  It looks fine that way in FF, Opera, and Chrome.
Any idea how I could do this so it works in IE as well? 

 

Oh, and I also tried using Philippe's suggestion to someone else for the
multiple images for a single div, still could not get the main content image
to repeat using that however.

 

As usual, IE makes CSS much more of a hassle than it should be!

 

Thank you for all of your help!

 

Jenni

 

 

You need #content-bottom as a container for the bottom image

so make #content-bottom a inner DIV for #content since #content has 

the top image.

 

HTML: 

  

div id=content

div id=content-bottom

 ...

   /div

/div

 

CSS:

 

#content-bottom {

background:url(images/content-bottom.jpg) bottom no-repeat;

padding-bottom: 180px; 

}

 

Regards

 

Maur?cio

 

 

One possible way might be:

 

#content-bottom {

 margin-top: -200px; /* or something more appropriate */

}

Hi all,

 

I am racking my brains to see if there's a way to do this, and not getting
anywhere.

 

I have a header, a content area, and a lower design area specified as
content bottom that the content needs to flow down into.  The trouble is
that the site is designed so that the main content area will expand as
needed for longer text.  I can't figure out if there is any way to still
have the last section of text overflow into the content-bottom area such
as shown in this image:

http://charlestonhealinghands.com/graphics/draft2.png 

 

Here is the site template as I've done thus far:

 

http://charlestonhealinghands.com/1/template.html 

 

Thanks for any thoughts!

If you want the content to expand the section, then why do you have a

Use asp to output a randomised id and then set the background image  
for the different ids in your css.

If you have 6 images, create 6 ids and one class. The class can be  
used for setting the styles that apply to all of the images.

Your html might look like this...

div class=dancer id=dancer1!-- the id is randomised, sometimes  
it will be dancer2, dancer3 etc. --./div

Your css might look like this...

.dancer {
/* all of the styles for the element apart from bg-image */
}

#dancer1 { background-image: url(/path/to/image/dancer1.jpg); }
#dancer2 { background-image: url(/path/to/image/dancer2.jpg); }

etc.

Thank you Tim.  I am working on implementing this and have a question about
your answer. I've tried to figure out how to create a randomizer for the div
id itself and haven't figured that out yet, nor have I figured out how to
incorporate that code once I have it.  

I tried another approach; I have created a randomizer for pulling photos out
of a folder--this is something I've done before.  I've got a basic page
created that is doing this with little else on the page, and it works just
fine (I'm just using sample images at this point, and not adding any other
attributes to the asp code).  The problem arises when I start to mix the asp
and css codes; I receive a 500 error for some attempts and other attempts
there is just nothing there where the random images should show up, and I
cannot figure out how to mix them and have it work.

On this page, I have the randomizer code set to two places.  One works fine
(you can see the images come up), and the other has nothing showing up at
all (this is supposed to be at the top of the page; you can see the div set
up in firebug).  

I've placed the css on the same page just to simplify things as much as
possible until I can figure this out; here is my entire page code; thanks
for any suggestions you can offer!:

Instead of specifying a width for each li, just assign padding.

[css-d] integrating CSS with ASP randomizer

2009-08-01 Thread Jenni Beard
Hi all,

 

I have a sort of general question about an approach to CSS coding for a site
I'm working on.  Here is the visual draft just for reference:

http://spiritmoves.com/new-site/graphics/draft4b.jpg

 

The logo and the dancer image are placeholders while I await the real
images.  

 

My question is, I am planning to use a CSS layout.  But, I will also be
using ASP code so that the image of the dancer will randomize about 4-6
similar images when a new page is loaded.  I know that ASP is OT for this

[css-d] adjusting overall size in css?

2009-06-22 Thread Jenni Beard
Hi all,

 

I'm having yet another problem with the site I'm working on.  It seemed
perfect, then I was told that the person viewing it could not see the entire
site (width) on his computer monitor.  I verified that this is not a very
old monitor.

 

I probably should try to make the overall wrapper width a bit narrower since
it's set at a width of 1200px, but I was designing the site with the idea
that the old 600x800 monitors are pretty much obsolete so it seems that it
should work in anything else.  I've viewed the site on 4 different
machines-including a fairly small laptop screen, which shows it perfectly.
But while viewing on a different, older laptop, one must scroll side to side
to see much of the text while keeping the left navigation in view.  I'm told
by a few friends that I had check it that it views the same way on a couple
other screens.

 

So my question is, is there a way to make the site stay the same size on a
larger monitor but automatically shrink down on a smaller one?  

Please keep in mind that the site must be easily viewable by an audience
that is not terribly computer-savvy so expecting them to change monitor
settings or browser settings is not the solution.

 

http://fossilbyte.com/1/index.html 

 

Thank you!

You're using this code for your hovers:

background-position: -40px center;

That means that the image is hanging 40px off the left of the link.  Since
it's not in the link box anymore, it's not visible.

If you reset that -40px to 0 or left then the whole image will be in
the link box, and show up.

If you want the arrow to hang off the end of the parchment (which is the

Have you uploaded the changes to your host/server? What is the uri of 
this site in which this is working perfectly now: in which you still

Yes--Same url as previously mentioned:

the nav looks exactly as it should (except for the edges of the graphic) in

2009-05-31 Thread Jenni Beard
Hi all,

 

This is going to sound incredibly stupid.  I just think my mind is giving
up.

 

I have a background image for my entire navigation bar (vertical).  Then, I
also have an image that is for each menu item hover:

http://fossilbyte.com/1/images/arrowhead.gif 
(I know that it appears really rough around the edges, need to try and work
that one out, too)

 

Problem is that only a small section of the hover image appears:

http://fossilbyte.com/1/template.html

 

Right now it's only showing up for items 2  4.  Trying to figure out why
not on the other items, but will get to that problem once this one's solved!

 

Thanks all.

[css-d] google translator gadget affecting css

2009-05-29 Thread Jenni Beard
Hi, I am new to this group and hope someone has a suggestion for me.

I have just added the Google Translation Gadget to a new site I'm building.
Thus far, the CSS is coming along well (not quite done yet).  But when you
select a different language from the tool to translate the page, a white bar
appears at the top of the page which forces some elements down and others
remain constant.  As a result, the text is not all sitting upon the
background where it belongs.  Here is my page:

http://fossilbyte.com/1/template.html

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

[css-d] css or javascript hacks for firefox

2009-05-29 Thread Jenni Beard
“then it is also present in Safari (3.2.2). Hacking Firefox 3 is 
dangerous since particular bugs have been fixed with this version but 
the hacks are more specific (targeting or filtering) to Gecko engine 
versions. There is many of them. Anyway how can you hack a fix for this
bug?”

I’m no expert, but have been working with CSS for awhile now.  I’ve found it
particularly difficult when trying to make a site layout work for all
browsers.  Generally these days I code for IE7, then check out Mozilla and
Opera (and am getting ready to embark on Google Chrome, alas!), then add
hacks where needed since these all seem to render most CSS layouts a bit
differently.

Here’s an example of the one I found and have been using for awhile for
Mozilla 3+:
---
#content { 
background-image: url(../images/content.jpg);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
overflow: visible;
width: 824px;
float: right;
margin-top: 20px;   
color: #40352F;
}

  /* First hide an element in Firefox 2 and higher */
  html[xmlns^=]:not([lang*=])  [id= #content] 
   {margin-top: 20px; }
   
  /* Now reverse the above in Firefox 3 and higher */
  html[xmlns^=]:not([lang*=]) #content:not([id=#content]) 
   {margin-top: 0px; margin-left: -50px;}


Hope this helps!

Re: [css-d] css or javascript hacks for firefox

2009-05-29 Thread Jenni Beard
I don't know any IE7 hacks, nor have I seen any. Now, IE6, THAT'S another
story!  That browser is/was SO annoying.

Anyone know what % of people are still using IE6 anyway?  Last stats I heard
were from almost 2 yrs ago, that claimed almost 25% of internet users...

Thanks!

Jenni

Code to IE/7???  I don't think so. Code to compliant browsers. Hack 
non-compliant browsers: IE/6 and IE/7.

Re: [css-d] css or javascript hacks for firefox

2009-05-29 Thread Jenni Beard
Hmm, I've found that often what works in Mozilla does not work in Opera or
vice-versa, now I just finally broke down and downloaded Chrome, and all
works great in IE7, Mozilla3, Opera9.64, but the navigation is skewed to the
left by about 30 or 40 px in Chrome.  So, now I feel like I have to add a
hack for Chrome--anyone have one???  Why oh why won't the browsers all see
it the same way?!?!

http://fossilbyte.com/1/template.html 

Thanks!!!

Jenni

PS--I am using a PC, don't know if on Chrome that makes a difference...

With respect I would suggest a different approach to the line above.  
If you write standards compliant markup and CSS you will rarely have  
to make significant changes to make things work in recent versions of  
Firefox, Safari, Opera and Chrome unless you are doing something  
particularly complicated.

IE is the 'problem child' so I always check it *last* and ensure that  
none of the nonsense rules required to make IE work make it into the  
main stylesheet. That way I know I'm working on a solid foundation and  
my thinking hasn't been polluted by IE's incorrect rendering.

As far as hacking for versions of firefox etc. goes... I generally  
resort to javascript at that point by adding a class to body (e.g.  
'lessthanff3') and hanging CSS rules off that.

YMMV, different strokes etc.

Cheers, Tim
