Re: [css-d] Extending lines off the edge of the browser

2006-06-16 Thread John Sico
Jason -

Does this work?

#page {
background: white;
text-align: left;
margin: 0 auto;
position: relative;
/* The entire template's width is set in this class. */
border: 0px solid #ddd;
border-top: none;
}

I just removed the padding and the width from the #page  
element...you'll need to go back in and add the appropriate padding  
in a couple of places, or just change the width of the elements, but  
I think it looked ok to me!

 I don't know how many of you are familiar with Wordpress, and

 about CSS I built my site starting with those two installed and

 I've been trying to get the two lines in my menu bar (they're 1px
 borders) to extend off screen on both sides (kind of like they
 do at the www.wordpress.org homepage). For some reason changing
 the margin only works in one direction, and changing the width of
 the segment seems to make the page itslef too wide (I get a
 scroll bar at the bottom).

 My site is at www.flickergaming.net. If anyone wants to shoot me
 a private e-mail I'd be more than happy to send over the
 stylesheet in case that makes it easier. Any help would be very
 welcome,

 Thanks,

Looks great to me (Firefox 1.5.0.2, MacBook Pro).

Let me know if you need a screenshot, and I'll get one for you!

Re: [css-d] Firefox on the Mac

2006-04-27 Thread John Sico
Oops, I also see the first problem (the header disappearing when the  
window shrinks).  However, I don't see the horizontal scrollbar.

Would a min-width (with the appropriate IE fixes, of course) help the  
disappearing header problem?

Re: [css-d] MIR Image Replacement Bug Question

2006-04-19 Thread John Sico
This doesn't really answer your question, but why not just use the  
text instead of images? Unless you've got something crazy going on  
back there (which you don't), I can't think of any reason you'd be  
forced to use image replacement here. You won't have to worry about  
this bug, and you'll get all the other benefits (like resizable  
navigation).

Check out www.hackenbergerhouse.com - I used really similar looking  
navigation, with just background images.

I hope that's helpful.

 In any event, my issue is this: I've tested this on several browsers,
 including a version of IE 6.0 (6.0.2900 with Service Pack 2) and it's
 fine, but I received a recent bug report that I can't figure out or
 now reproduce.

 They see the _first_ character of each text item I'm trying to  
 replace
 with the technique floating just above the image used to replace it.
 This is happening in all instances.

 If anyone can reproduce this and give feedback, I'd really appreciate
 it.

 The current development page is:

 Anthony-

 Yes, I can see an H floating above at the top left corner of the
 Home Button in the top nav, using IE6/PC, Win2K.

 I've not used IR techniques myself, so I can't really offer any  
 help as
 to why.

 Ron

Re: [css-d] What IMG Replacement Technique?

2006-04-19 Thread John Sico
Ok, well since I gave useless advice before, I will try to redeem  
myself.

I've had good luck with this system: http://www.alistapart.com/ 
articles/sprites

It's just using one image, so it's a lot easier to change/ manage  
than several, and it loads more quickly.

Since it just moves the images instead of loading new ones, you don't  
get the flicker problem.

 Hey Folks,

 I'm currently developing a site where I'm going to be using
 graphical navigation and an image replacement technique. I
 had been using the Malarkey technique (MIR), but that seems
 to fail a bit on certain versions of IE 6.0.

 Am looking for an alternative technique -- and no, I'm not
 going to text-based navigation on this site (sorry) -- and
 am wondering if anyone has any recommendations for something
 a bit more bulletproof.

 There's a bunch out there and am just currently trying to
 figure out which one is the best -- though, who knows, none
 may really be 100% bulletproof.

 Thanks in advance,

 Anthony

Re: [css-d] Stumped

2006-04-17 Thread John Sico
It looks like it's because the author's used a div called  
body...which is kinda confusing.

 div id=”body”h1Headline/h1pArticle goes here/p/div

It might make more sense to use content instead.

 div id=”content”h1Headline/h1pArticle goes here/p/div

Then

 div#content {
 height:100%;
 background-color:#ff;}

for the css.

 I'm using a simple layout tutorial to build my understanding.  I

 CSS:
 body {
 background-color:#efefef;
 font-family:arial, verdana, sans-serif;}

 div {
 width:800px;
 border:1px solid #00;
 margin:1px;
 padding:5px;}

 div#masthead {

 div#navigation {
 height:40px;
 background-color:#66;
 color:#ff;}

 div#body {
 height:100%;
 background-color:#ff;}

 I was sort of wondering why the author chose to add the  
 div#body, since i'd think the body would have been enough.  This  
 maybe where the color issues are coming from , however I haven't  
 tried to drop the rules for body or drop the div#body.  I want to  
 understant what the purpose is to have both.
