[css-d] Max length for image file names?
Hi everyone, I've tested my pages on Firefox and Safari and IE8, and all looks fine. But when I check on my old version of IE, IE5.2 for Mac, I get red X symbols in place of some image files whose names are too long. I haven't figured out exactly what the maximum allowed number of characters is, but I was wondering if you all think it is worth the bother to go through my entire website and change all the filenames and the links in the code (hundreds of images and pages) for this old version of IE. I mean, is there some other reason to keep the file names under a certain number of characters? Most frustrating is the fact that my file names aren't even that long; for example: LalenaFisher_ill_BooksOnBalls_th.gif is too long, but LalenaFisher_ill_Books_th.gif seems okay. I have a lot of images and do need to get fairly specific in the filenames, so cutting them down would actually be a bit of a problem. Thank you!

[css-d] Embedding an .mov file: embed src
Hi everyone, My website overhaul is going well, getting all the code to pass validation EXCEPT when I got to my pages with .mov files embedded. I have searched online and can't find a clear answer on how to solve this. Apparently the embed src tag was deprecated, but I have not found a replacement. Some say to use the tag anyway. Others say it was brought back. If it was, it is still not passing validation for me. What do you say? I'll paste my code below. Thank you, Lalena table width=540 border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 tr align=centertd Design of Baby Hummingbird hover animation br /br / embed src=des/WP_humbird.mov width=520 height=351 loop=true /td/tr /table __ css-discuss [cs...@lists.css-discuss.org] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
Re: [css-d] Type sizes? Thank you
Thank you for all the thoughtful responses about how to handle type sizing. I will get to work on it. I love this list!

[css-d] Type sizes?
Hi all,
Pardon my elementary question. I'm going through all my ancient web
pages to make them compatible with current coding rules. And I've
discovered that font size is no longer a valid tag. Is there
something that replaces it, so I don't have to establish styles for
everything?
If not, is it possible to establish a default style for all text,
without the text having to reside inside a p or h or any other
kind of tag like that in the html pages? Or do you have to put a tag
around every bit of text to have any control over it?
I currently have this, but isn't it for hyperlinks only?:
a {font-family:Times,serif;
font-size:medium;
color:#ff;
}
Then I was wondering how to establish secondary text styles, like if I
want a slightly larger type size for a particular line, but don't want
it boldfaced, as in a h tag. (I know I'd have to put tags around
these, just don't know what kind.)
Thanks!
Lalena

[css-d] Converting to CSS/XHTML
Hi gang, I have two questions: - I am slowly converting all my web pages to CSS and XHTML, and when I test one in the W3 online validator, I get this message: File not found: import file://localhost/lf_styles.css: Operation not permitted. (I am uploading my pages from my local drive, checking them before I make them live.) I double-checked in my folder and the lf_styles.css file is there. Why might I be having this problem; any ideas? - Do I need to change all my br tags to br / ? Or br/ ? I found conflicting info when I Googled this. Thanks!

[css-d] Space before p
Thank you for your help with my uncontained list--I got it fixed! Now I am wondering how to remove the extra space before/after a paragraph. I tried setting margins, and margin-top and margin-bottom and padding to 0, but it didn't work. Anyone know?

[css-d] Text pokes out bottom of box
Can anyone tell me why the text in my first box pokes out the bottom? Here's the page: http://suziblade.com/rapant-mcelroy/our_services.html (The borders are temporary, just so I can see what's going on.) It looks like the right column is determining the depth of the box, and I'm not sure why. If there's anything else I did that isn't coded as sensibly as it could be, please feel free to let me know that too. Thank you!

Re: [css-d] How to get window to crop image?
Hi guys, I guess I could just crop the image and make it 100%, but I would be settling, I think, because based on what the current version is doing, I'm pretty sure I would see a little of my black background on either side. It won't really look like it continues beyond the window edge. Chris, the header on your Neil Parish site looks like it's what I want on the right, but not on the left; that's what happened to me before--the image anchors itself to the left, and only bleeds off on the right. Lalena -Original Message- I have a new challenge. In CSS, is it possible to get an image to be cropped off on both sides? Or in print language, to bleed on both sides? -- Any particular reason why you wouldn't just make the image the size you want? It seems kinda silly and a waste of time to make an image larger than necessary and position it off the page so that it will get cropped when viewed. Mike I agree. However if you positioned the background image to centre and it was indeed bigger than the div it would be cropped equally on the left and right. Kinda pointless unless the containing div is flexible so that on a big high res screen, with full screen broswer the user can still see an image. I did that for an old site, see: http:// blakeys.com/mep/about.html and the header image.

[css-d] Screen resolution?
Is computer-screen resolution still 72 dpi? Or do some of these newfangled monitors have a higher resolution? Thanks!

[css-d] How to get window to crop image?
Thanks for all your answers about screen resolution! I never imagined it was so complicated. I have a new challenge. In CSS, is it possible to get an image to be cropped off on both sides? Or in print language, to bleed on both sides? On my homepage, I want the ornaments on both sides of my name to get cropped off by the sides of the browser window. I tried width='120%' but that didn't do it. I tried setting a negative value for the left and right, but that didn't work either (and probably couldn't be expected to, as the math doesn't make sense). Here is the page in question (under construction, obviously): http://suziblade.com/lalenafisher/index_css.html On some monitors, depending on settings, I got it to work by making the size of the image larger than the probable window width. But that isn't reliable, since monitor settings vary: www.lalenafisher.com Thanks for any ideas!

[css-d] Colors in PShop vs. browser
Hi, has anyone else experienced seeing colors somewhat differently in Photoshop vs. a web browser? Everything looks significantly darker in Photoshop. It certainly adds an unnecessary obstacle to the design process! Any tips on why this might be happening, and how to alleviate it? (I'm trying to match the background of an image--it's an image of type--to a hexadecimal background color.) Thanks! Lalena P.S.

[css-d] Icky image edges: resolution, sizing
Thank you everyone who answered my question about matching my Photoshop colors to browser colors! Now I have a new one. I'm placing images on my page--images of type. If I create my transparent gifs at the final size and resolution (72 dpi is screen resolution, right?), the type looks all bitmap-y and awful. So I am using high-res versions, and just sizing them in my html. So, in order to size them proportionally, I'm going into Image size in Photoshop and trying out different sizes, without actually applying the change, so I get the proportional size readout. Question is: Is there an easier way to figure out a proportional size? And/or: Is there a better way to do this whole task? Meaning: solving the icky-image-edges problem without using high-res images (which I assume take longer to load)? Thanks!
