 I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get the positioning of the dark 
 green tab that appears behind the nav items when you hover on them. For 
 example, if you hover over practices in the nav, that box is not quite the 
 same distance from the left and right divider lines. There is more space 
 between the dark green box and the line on the right side; I'd like to have 
 this spacing on the left too but I cannot figure out how to do that.
 
 Thanks, Rory

Re: [css-d] help for rendering pages correctly on differents browsers

 here are the link for the home page: 
 http://www.expressionofmind.com/home.html about us

 files: http://www.expressionofmind.com/css.html

[supplied links fixed]

I'm afraid the problem lies in your expectations. Consistent alignment of the 
bottom of elements whose content is variable, in this case text in two columns, 
by use of padding or margins is not attainable. Not only do different browsers 
render fonts at different heights and widths, but you have no control over the 
base size. Zooming Safari in Zoom Text Only mode will show that the columns do 
not survive resizing even in that browser.

A simple way to provide a background on the right column that continues to the 
footerwould be the Faux Column method. This involves creating a background 
image and applying it to vertically repeat on the element containing both main 
content and sidebar, in this case #wrappercolum .

The image would need to be 800px wide and, because repeating, only 10px or so 
high, coloured white for the first 510px and #0D2557 for the remaining 290px.

The css would be

#wrappercolum { background: #fff url(path/to/image.png) repeat-y; }

To maintain a 10px white space between the divs in the sidebar you could use a 
border on the upper div. e.g.

#team {
   background-color: #558D96;
   border-bottom: 10px solid #FF; /* added */
   line-height: 18px;
   padding-top: 10px;
}

Hope this helps.

As Jukka has already pointed out, there is no text within the a

The following text occurs after the /a:

You are seeing this because you don't have Adobe Flash plugin

So, if that is the text you want to position with the #videogallery a

Remove the stray  at the end of the div.extra-info rule:

I'm not seeing this on FF3 Mac. Other versions show different behaviour.

Safari 2/3 Mac:

When the browser window width is below the width of the body  
background image (999px), a 1px gap appears between #wrap and the  
right vertical rule of the background image. On the left, it overlaps  
the vertical rule. Gradually reducing the browser window further  
shows that #wrap shuffles in and out of alignment with the body  
background.

FF 1.5 Mac/FF2 Windows:

Same as above but the alignment is out even if the browser window is  
wider than the body background image.

If a solution for stabilising the alignment of body to #wrap isn't  
forthcoming you could remove the vertical rules from the image and  
apply them as CSS borders to #wrap. With the background image showing  
only a shadow the shuffling would be less, if at all, noticeable.

 The problem is, it works as expected in Firefox and Opera (the sliding

 that's inaccurate. It's actually hidden on the left side, but not on
 the right, which makes things more confusing, I think.)

 In Safari (Mac, at least), there's a different problem -- the sliding
 boxes appear as a 50px slice at the left-hand side of the Sports
 div. Hardly any of it is visible at all!

Safari 2 Mac looks OK here. Which version shows the problem for you?

The IE7 problem appears to stem from the widths generated as inline  
styles to the following divs

div class=carousel-component id=mycarousel
div class=carousel-clip-region

In Firefox, Firebug shows width: 820px. In IE7 the developer toolbar  
shows width:1205px. If I remove the inline width property using the  
IE bar toolbar the carousel shows the correct width.

I'm out of time this morning so will leave it for someone else to  
track where these widths are being calculated.

I've had a spare couple of minutes to revisit this. It may be that  
adding the following will bring IE7 into line, though it'd be good to

div#mycarousel { width:800px!important; }

IE7 has another issue: the carousel's TDs display wider, so they

 Ed,

 You're quite welcome. I've published it here:
 http://www.theholiergrail.com/cssd/goodone.html

 From where I'm looking, Firefox Mac 1.5 and 2.0 do not render  
Helvetica with font-smoothing at this size (80% of 100%). If bumped  
up to 81.25% (i.e. displaying at 13px with the browser default 16px  
size) smoothing kicks in.

Also, line-height does not match other browsers. Setting line-height  
to 1.154em or thereabouts brings it into line.

Firefox 3 Mac smooths OK but requires extra line-height.

Graphic portrayal here:

Easiest solution though is to give Arial precedence over Helvetica in  
the body.

 Hi,

 I have had a suckerfish drop down on my site for awhile, we are adding
 some new interactive pages that are not live, that jump vertically in
 IE6 and IE7 ever so slightly.  What is live now jumps a bit
 horizontally but not vertically.  Is there any fix for this?

What exactly do you mean by jumping. I don't see unexpected  
movement in the drop down menus on any browser.

 Thanks,

 Actually, I did find a page that is currently live that jumps
 vertically in IE6 and IE7 , please go to

Try adding .12em margin-top to .contentcopy h1

margin: .12em .13em 0 .13em;

 You'll see it in the first paragraph.


 Live adjustment in Mac FF/3.0.1. Try it. Check it cross-browser.


 .wp-caption img {
 margin: 0;

Lots of HTML validation errors too:

'Line 179, Column 15: end tag for element p which is not open'

for example.

Please just post your mock up.

Even if you don't think it will help.

Even if you think you're one keystroke away from perfecting your site.

Just as a favour to the people who have freely donated their time to  
trying to help you.

Please?

Re: [css-d] classes moving

The path to the #location background image points to your local  
computer, rather than your web server. You may be able to see  
locationgfic.png but we can't.

#location {
height: 62px;
background-image: url(file:///C|/creativesheep_web_files/final% 
20graphics%20for%20web%20page/locationgfic.png);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
margin-top: -20px;
}

Note: Past posting attempts suggest this message may not appear on  
the list for days. Please reply to both me and the list.

 Then create the CSS rules

 .BR bottom right

 At this point is this correct? IF NOT ignore the rest of this

 Then do I put the corner images as image tags on in the HTML or as

 Yes, there is a problem in Safari 2, not in 3.

The W3C CSS Validator reports the following error:

http://www.muhabbet.de/muhabbetnew/muhabbet.css

347 .iframe div#wrapper Property overflow-y doesn't exist in CSS

You could try changing the offending property to overflow: auto;

Have tested this in a user stylesheet in Safari 2.0.4.

Re: [css-d] Anchor hover in IE 6 'absorbs' margin of above element

 In Internet Explorer 6 when the mouse cursor hovers over the anchor
 elements they turn red, as they should, but  Link 002, Link 003 and
 Link 004 'bunch up' against the box above in the list.

 They are kept apart by a 5 pixel margin applied to the anchor  
 element.
 It looks like on hover the element being hovered over 'absorbs' the
 margin above.

 I can't work out a remedy and so I'd be grateful for any suggestions.

 Patrick

 Couple of things:

 You have targeted the a
 #nav001 a {
 }
 #nav001 a:hover {
 }
 Instead, target li a
 #nav001 li a {
 }
 #nav001 li a:hover {
 }
 And remove the margin-bottom:
 #nav001 li a {
 /*margin: 0 0 5px 0; delete*/
 margin:0 /*add*/;
 }

And if a margin is required, apply it to #nav001 li rather than  
#nav001 li a.
