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!

[css-d] Persisting flash media player

2006-04-28 Thread John Sico
Does anyone know of a relatively css-aware way to have flash media  
player persist as users flow through the site? So the users could  
listen to songs, and not have the movie/ music reload as each page  
changes.

The movie will live inside its own div, near the footer of the page  
(if you'd like to see the page in question, it's at  
www.superbuick.com - the player will be at the bottom, where the  
dashboard is).

I'd really love to avoid frames of any sort, and I don't want to make  
my navigation flash-based. I thought about possibly having a "pop- 
out" option, but if I could stay away from that, it would be awesome,  
too.

Thanks in advance!

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?

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] 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.

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.

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.

>> HeadlineArticle goes here

It might make more sense to use "content" instead.

>> HeadlineArticle goes here

Then

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

for the css.

Re: [css-d] CSS: Background img

2006-04-13 Thread John Sico
WIth your site configuration, I think you could just use background- 
image: url(/img/blah.jpg);

Since /img/ is right off the root.

But FWIW, both two dots and one dot work the same for me in both IE  
and the others...One dot being the directory immediately above where  
the .css file is kept, and two dots being two directories above.

I hope I got that right.
