Hi Adam, thanks so much for you quick response! I really appreciate the 
help.  :)

 What is your markup?

Doh! sorry about that... Hehe, noob mistake.  :: blushes ::

div id=hNav
dl
dt/dt
dd/dd
/dl
/div

 Based on those selectors, you have moved from something like this:
 div
 dl class=hNavdd/dd/dl
 /div

 To something like this:

 div id=hNav
 dldd/dd/dl

Correct. I am retrofitting a menu I coded/used on one of my old 
websites.

So, it sounds like this would be the correct syntax:

* htmlbody #hNav dldd

If the code directly above is correct, would this also work (keeping in 
mind that I only want to target IE/Mac):

* htmlbody #hNav dl dd

Hehe, I am just not used to using the  selector. Google'ing now.  :)

Btw, thanks so much for giving me an example, it was really 
informative. Again, I really appreciate your help and time. Basically, 
YOU ROCK!

TIA!
Cheers,
Micky

Hi, me again... actually, still Googling, but... I just wanted to 
mention that the menu is surround by several other divs in the overall 
document... does that matter? Would I have to do something like this 
then:


* htmlbody #div #div #hNav dldd

I would assume not, because I am saying start with #hNav of the body 
tag... right?

Thanks thanks thanks,

[css-d] Front-page search box: Room for CSS improvement?

2006-03-23 Thread Michael Hulse
Hi folks,

Below is HTML/CSS for a home page search box... I want the label, 
input, and search button graphic to align all on one line.

Example via Safari: http://www.ambiguism.com/CSSD/form.gif

How could I improve-upon this code (basically I want it to be as 
cross-browser/platform compatible as possible, so far it works perfect 
in Safari - I did not include my code for fieldset/legend, but feel 
free to post bullet-proof code for that too):


form { margin: 0; padding: 0; }
form * { vertical-align: middle; }
label {
font-size: .7em;
font-weight: bold;
letter-spacing: .1em;
text-align: right;
color: #fff;
width: 5em;
float: left; /* -- Worried about this and IE/PC */
}
input.searchBox {
border-width: 1px;
border-style: solid;
border-color: #555 #ccc;
padding: 1px;
width: 125px;
height: 14px;
}
input.imgGo {
width: 16px;
height: 16px;
}
input:focus {
background: #efefef;
color: #000;
}

fieldset
legendSearch our site:/legend
label for=searchSearch:nbsp;/labelinput 
class=searchBox 
type=text value= name=search id=search maxlength=100 /
input class=imgGo type=image name=btnSearch 
id=btnSearch 
src=/images/template/go.gif onclick=document.form1.submit(); /
/fieldset


Links, tuts, examps, suggestions?

Many many many TIA,
Cheers,
Micky

 Weird, but it works.

I think someone would have caught that if your code sample had the p

Some people can't forget about it. Example: My work (newspaper) uses

work well in that browser. It may be a small percentage of users who

 Francesco,

 This is often a headache for me, too. I'd play around with the
 padding, height, line-height, and vertical-align of the list items.
 However, I usually resort to adding a few rows of transparent pixels
 to the top of my bullet images.

Or, you could play around with background positioning.

Example code:

/* For list items: */
ul.giveBull {
font: normal 1em Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
list-style: none;
}
ul.giveBull li {
padding: 0 0 5px 10px;
background: url(bullet.gif) no-repeat 0 .5em; /* Try 
percentages or

 You need to remove the regular background for IE5.5+ or it'll try to 
 display
 both of them.

Ah, did not realize that, thanks for pointing that out.

 sizingMethod='image' is default, so it can be left out.

Will do. Good to know.

 If you're running multiple versions of IE, IE5 will not pick up the 
 conditional unless you do a registry hack. However, anyone *actually 
 using IE5* as their main browser will see things correctly.

Sounds good. I have not applied the registry hack to my testing PC, but

 Without knowing what you're trying to do, have you tried with display/

 Here is a little experiment I did with various display types for a

 http://dev.l-c-n.com/inline-block/inline-list.php

Thanks so much for responding Philippe! I really appreciate your time.  
:)

Also, thanks for the link, that looks very helpful.

Actually, I am happy you responded. For my horizontal menu, I started 
with your menu examples found here:

http://www.l-c-n.com/IE5tests/phantom-links/test_2b.html
http://www.l-c-n.com/IE5tests/phantom-links/inline-block_list.php

(Using pieces of above two menus, I ended up with a centered horizontal 
menu that is not floated and avoids phantom links on a Mac.)

The above and other menus/code found on your site work wonders (esp. 
for the Mac)! Thanks!

Question: in my horizontal menu, I ended-up using -moz-inline-box like 
so:

.nv dl dd a {
color: #fff;
line-height: normal;
letter-spacing: normal;
padding: .2em 1em;
display: -moz-inline-box; /* Fixes Firefox */
display: inline-block;
}

Using above code as example, would it be possible for you to explain 
how I could replace -moz-inline-box with 
display/table+display:table-cell?

I just downloaded Firefox 1.5/Mac, the above seems to work good... but 
not sure on a PC. Will have to test later...

I am looking on the wiki now, but does anyone have any good links that 
could help explain how/when I would apply 
display/table+display:table-cell?


Thanks Philippe and Ingo! I really appreciate your responses!   :D
Cheers,
Micky.

[css-d] display: -moz-inline-box; () inline-block;

2005-12-17 Thread Michael Hulse
Hello all,

The below code makes Firefox on Mac to behave:

.nav {
display: -moz-inline-box; /* Fixes Firefox */
display: inline-block;
}

Any probs with -moz-inline-box in the PC world?

Any good alternatives that will get Firefox to recognize inline-block?

Man, I really need to get a PC.

Many thanks in advance.  :)

[css-d] Using Fieldset/legend on non-form elements?

2005-12-08 Thread Michael Hulse
Hi list,

What are you thoughts on using fieldsetlegend/legend/fieldset 
tags on/with non-form content?

Anyone have suggestions for the best alternative (one that works on 
Mac/IE would be nice)?

I am going for this look:



[LEGEND]-
Content, content, content..



That would be a horizontal border that spans 100% with the legend on 
top/left-middle.

I am still doing google/wiki searches...
Thanks in advance all,

What would you suggest as the best technique for laying-out forms in a

Any links, tips, suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Me =

I just thought I would ask before I re-invent the wheel...

[css-d] Min-width/Max-width: IE PC/IE Mac too?

2005-12-01 Thread Michael Hulse
Hello,

Example code:

---snip---

#mainContainer {
min-width: 500px; /* IE doens't understand this property. */
/* IE Dynamic Expression to set the width: */
width:expression(document.body.clientWidth  500 ? 500px : 100% );
}

---/snip---

Questions:

1. How would I go about applying a Max-width also?

2. Should I be worried about the above expression breaking in IE7?

3. How would I get min-width and max-width to work in IE/Mac? The 
above expression appears to have no affect on that browser/platform.

4. What would you suggest is a good max-width for a fluid-layout site?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  :)

Thanks, cheers,

I believe that it has to do with the Javascript. Try turning-off the JS

Not too sure of a workaround for it. Seems like a Firefox bug/issue...

[css-d] Adding a border to a div fixes gaps/margins/padding? Why?

2005-12-01 Thread Michael Hulse
Hello,

I have come-across a couple of different situations where I have added 
a 1px solid border to a div, and it seemed to fix weird gaps and/or 
made the child-content behave a bit better by tightening-up what 
appears to be the padding/margins ... It is really hard to explain, and 
I think it may only be a Mac thing...

With that said, does anyone have any links to examples/bugs that are 
similar to the above oddity?

Am I crazy?

Side-note: I zero-out all of the margins and padding at the beginning 
of my CSS using * {margin:0;padding:0;}.

Thanks,
Cheers,
Micky.

I guess what I meant by Not too sure of a workaround was that I do 
not no how to fix a Firefox JS bug (if it is one, I am just making a 
big fat guess...). Conditional comments are a temp fix... although, for 
the Suckerfish JS, I agree, it is a very good idea just to feed it to 
IE...

If it is a bug though, one would hope they would fix the problem rather 
than have us web-developers hide JS from Firefox... I am sure it 
happens with other scripts where the JS needs to be read by Firefox...

Thanks for the response Christian, I really appreciate your time. :)

I probably should not worry about IE/Mac, but I do (I am a Mac guy, and 
I also like the feeling of having my CSS look good in that 
browser/Platform... although, I probably have gotten the biggest 
headaches in my lifetime because of stupid IE/Mac bugs/issues...)

Oh, I also just found this:

Hi,

Here is an example of a horizontal rule that uses a background image:

div.horizRule {
font-size: 1px;
line-height: 1px;
background: url(/img/dotted.gif) repeat-x left center;
padding: 10px 0;
height: 1px;
}

div class=horizRule/div

Hopefully that will send you in the right direction.

Sorry,

padding: 10px 0; should be margin: 10px 0;. Or you could just zero 
them out altogether margin: 0; padding: 0;.

[css-d] When to use raw numbers for units?

2005-11-28 Thread Michael Hulse
Hello,

I have always specified a unit when coding my CSS (except units of 0). 
I am wondering what, when, why, and where I would be specifying a raw # 
for units? Examples?

Should I be coding like so:

font: normal 76.1%/125 Lucida Sans Unicode, verdana, helvetica, 
sans-serif;

Rather than:

font: normal 76.1%/125% Lucida Sans Unicode, verdana, helvetica, 
sans-serif;

In the above example, is specifying a unit for line-height a bad thing, 
sloppy, or just a matter of individual coding preference.

Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks list,
Cheers,
Micky

 but how do I center this part?

Hi,

Check this page:
http://www.sitepoint.com/forums/showpost.php?p=1239967postcount=4

Link description:

FAQ :How to centre an existing page horizontally? ... The usual way to 
centre is to use margin-left:auto and margin-right:auto on the div. 
However , you will also need to supply a width for the surrounding div 
otherwise it will not centre, so you will need to supply a width large 
enough to hold your content including borders and padding etc.

Basically you would want to wrap your content with a main container... 
There is a little-bit more to it than that, but the above link should 
get you headed in right direction.

Hello Angelo,

Flash is always on top.

Each browser will treat that object tag differently, but AFAIK, that is 
the word on the e-street...

There may be a Javascript solution, but applying a z-index (may work 
for some browsers) is not the solution.

You might try:

param name=wmode value=transparent /
EMBED src=swf.swf quality=best bgcolor=#FF wmode=transparent 
WIDTH=550 ...

This thread has more info about embedding Flash/CSS/wmode:

http://www.sitepoint.com/forums/showthread.php?t=158317

Looks like some have found a solution, but I bet none of them work 
well on Mac/browsers.

If it were me, I would opt for an animated gif (esp. applicable if it 
is an advertisement), or move the Flash to a more suitable place on the 
page/redesign the layout...

Good luck,

 however whenever I use border-bottom: 1px dotted

Dotted borders will display as dashed in win/IE... suxors.  :(

You might try:

1. Specify a border-size of 2px. This should give you dotted borders in 
IE (but, IMHO, 2px dotted does not look as good as 1px dotted... Hmmm, 
will IE7 display 1px dotted borders correctly??).

2. Using filters, feed IE/PC 1px solid borders and give everyone else 
1px dotted borders.

3. Use images (quickly slapped-together... used ALA technique):

[css-d] @media {} filter: info/links/usage?

2005-11-13 Thread Michael Hulse
On Nov 3, 2005, at 6:13 AM, Gunlaug Sørtun wrote:
 CSS filters are generally unsafe - except when used correctly to
 separate dead browsers from the living. IE6 and previous versions 
 are dead, and can be filtered out safely. CSS filter for IE5+/win 
 only, targeting versions less than IE7. Can be used in 'styles in page 
 head' and 'external stylesheets'. Must be used _complete with @media 
 rule_, and put after all other styles so not to interfere with other 
 @media rules if there are any. No further separation needed. Example:

 @media all {
   * html #nv ul li a {
   float: right /* IE5.0 + 5.5 + 6 win */;
   float/**/: none /* IE5.5 win */;
   fl\oat: none /* IE6 win */;
   }
 }

 ...safe filter if later versions than IE6 are set to run in 'standard
 mode', according to the Microsoft IE7 team.

Hey Georg and others,

So, I would like to learn more about the above @media filter... If I 
ever use it again, I want to be sure I am applying it correctly.

I have read that using @media will hide from these browsers:

•   Netscape 4.x
•   Mac IE 4.01
•   Mac IE 5.0
•   Win IE 4
•   Konqueror 3.0


Questions:

1. Does anyone have a link to an (official) IE7 website/web-page that 
talks about this filter?

2. Is this filter an acceptable alternative to conditional comments?

3. Could someone elaborate a bit more on this statement:

 put after all other styles so not to interfere with other @media rules 
 if there are any

What happens if I do have other @media rules? If I did have other 
@media rules, would I just combine them into one @media rule and put at 
bottom of CSS?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  :)

Thanks m8s,
Cheers,
Micky

 That's one of IE/win's weaknesses, but it is not an issue in that page,
 once it is made an all-float layout (like I suggested).

 The negative 'margin-right: -10px' will catch the /italic-bug/ and a

 other surprises IE/win may throw in just for fun :-)

 Original source-code and CSS, and this CSS added:

 #wrapper {display: table;}
 #content {float: left; margin: 0 -10px 0 15px;}

 ...makes it an all-float.

 Note to Trish: Moz/FF shows a minor deviation - 1px off (gosh).
 Changing the margin will cover up for that:

 #content {float: left; margin: 0 -10px 0 14px;}

 ...now tested fully in Moz/FF, Opera and IE6.

 yeah, was that a mistake?

Maybe this:

The form tag is there because this is an asp.net application which

 Hi all,

 I hope this isn't too much of a challenge. I hope it's really easy to
 fix... a really common error (that I just can't seem to find
 anywhere).

 I've got a new site mostly designed, but have run into a problem,
 which I've explained in the body copy of the page at:

 http://www.collageartists.org/test7x1.html

 Basically, adding a clear: both to the headers in the main content
 area, ALSO clears the #leftcol (sidebar). #leftcol is a floated
 element, and #content moves to the right thanks to a left margin.
 Everything is positioned: relative, nothing is absolute (if that 
 helps).

 The CSS is at
 http://www.collageartists.org/stylesheets/caa7_x1.css

 Please help! I've troubleshooted this for hours and can't figure out
 how to fix it.

 thank you thank you thank you,

 Trish

Have you tried clear: right?

I did not look at your CSS, and that probably is not the best solution, 
if it is a solution at all... It sounds like a problem I have had b4, 
and clear:right was a fix.

You may also want to try an inner content wrap (put inside content div 
and wrap around all #content content... maybe something like this:

#innerContentWrap {
width: 100%;
float: left;
}

Hth, I am sure someone will give a waay better answer.

BTW, why are you clearing the headers in the first place? I have only 
glanced at your code and source, so I apologize in advance if I send 
you on a wild goose chase.

Hi trish,

Fixed it a little bit:

http://www.ambiguism.com/CSSD/caa.html

Added this to CSS:

#innerContentWrap {
width: 100%;
float: left;
}
/* Begin .theClearFix styles: */
.theClearFix:after {
content: .;
display: block;
height: 0;
clear: both;
visibility: hidden;
}
.theClearFix { display: inline-table; }
/* Begin filter. Hides from IE-mac \*/
* html .theClearFix { height: 1%; }
.theClearFix { display: block; }
/* End filter. End hide from IE-mac. */
/* End .theClearFix styles. */


I cleaned-up the html, makes it a bit more clear:

div id=content class=theClearFix
div id=innerContentWrap class=theClearFix
img src=images/lgoldberg_test160.jpg alt=test width=160 
height=202 class=imgfloatleft/
h1Heading 1/h1
pThis is div#content and it is positioned relative to 
div#wrapper/p
pdiv#wrapper holds #leftcol (the sidebar) and #content /p
p#leftcol (sidebar) is float=left/p
p#content moves to the right thanks to the right margin 
amount/p

div class=clearboth/div

img src=images/belcher_test100.jpg alt=test width=100 
height=139 class=imgfloatright /
h2Heading #2 +clear:both style /h2
pEverything works fine until 

View source to see all the code.

I saw some other issues with your css (no time to delve into that now), 
and I added borders to some of the divs to make it more obvious as to 
what is going on.

Keep in mind, I quickly slapped this together... it already looks like 
some of the gurus on the list have replied with solid answers... 
hopefully a combination of all our help will solve your CSS troubles.

Cheers,
Micky

 I just finished a mainly CSS site:

Nice site! Looks good.

I thought I would comment on Flash and a few techniques on how one  
would go about making it validate:

Technique 01: Use a Javascript method/function  document.write the  
Flash object.
Example site: http://www.hillmancurtis.com/
Example HTML: script type=text/javascriptRunFoo();/script
Example .js file: http://www.hillmancurtis.com/hc_web/js/food.js
( code: )
function RunFoo() {
document.write('object  
classid=clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-44455354  
codebase=http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/ 
swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0 width=400 height=300\n');
document.write('param name=movie  
value=hc_web/index_page/portraits_conference.swf /\n');
document.write('param name=quality value=high\n');
document.write('embed  
src=hc_web/index_page/portraits_conference.swf quality=high  
pluginspage=http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer;  
type=application/x-shockwave-flash width=400  
height=300/embed\n');
document.write('/object\n');
}
( /code. )

Technique 02: Flash Satay Method:
http://www.alistapart.com/articles/flashsatay/

Technique 03: Flash Javay method:
(Post #3)
http://talkfreelance.com/thread125.html
Google search should yield more results for this method. Originated via  
alistapart discussusion on the above Satay method, but the discussion  
has been deleted/closed since the new ALA redesign.  :(

It has been several months since I last looked-into this matter, so  
other (better?) methods/techniques are probably floating around  
cyber-space. I personally like the first technique. The Satay method  
takes-away a lot of control a developer has when it comes to the Object  
Parameters.

I am on a mac, and the menu seems to work ok With that said, it 
would be hard for me to test code... Anyway, here is a bit of code I 
use for a horizontal drop-down menu (based on Suckerfish):

#mainMenu li ul {
text-transform: none;
display: none;
position: absolute;
top: 100%;
left: 0;
z-index: 100;
}
#mainMenu liul { /* to override top and left in browsers other than 
IE, which will position to the top right of the containing li, rather 
than bottom left */
/*top: auto;*/
left: auto;
}

The above css is for the drop-down part of the menu... I am guessing 
reversing the values to make it pop-up and incorporating it into your 
css may help you squash you IE probs.

 Does anyone know if this is this even possible without using script?

Dunno, this might help:

Re: [css-d] vertical alignment of text fields with other elements - I'm stuck!

 Hi list,
 I am trying to vertically align a text field with two adjacent 
 elements:
 a graphic label and a graphic button.
 The working page is here:
 http://test.hinshawdesign.com/css/slpl/cluster_masthead_v2.html
 Here is what it should look like:
 http://test.hinshawdesign.com/css/slpl/masthead_sample.jpg

 Here are the problems that I have seen so far:
 1. Safari: the text field is dropping down so it is partially outside
 the green area
 2. IE6/ Win 2K: The green box is expanding vertically to become too 
 tall
 3. Opera 8.5/Win2K: the three elements are all dropping down in the box
 so they are no longer aligned with the words Steedman Exhibit


I would highly suggest that you use a label for your text field... any 
reason why you are using an image? The search.gif looks like regular 
web text... I would use CSS to style the label... Here is some code I 
use for one of my sites:

#yourDiv label {
font: normal .8em Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
color: #666;
text-align: right;
padding: 0 1em;
width: 175px; /* Use to move most form content left/right on 
page. */
float: left;
clear: left;
}
/* Set the width for 'input' elements: */
#yourDiv input {
color: #333;
border: 1px solid #555;
border-bottom: 1px solid #ccc;
border-right: 1px solid #ccc;
padding: 1px;
width: 150px;
}


label for=searchSearch:nbsp;/labelinput type=text value= 
name=search id=search maxlength=100 /

Also, I would make your logo a background image rather than a 
transparent gif. Makes things a bit more simple.

Hopefully the above css does not confuse you... You may even be able to 
get away with something as simple as:

#yourDiv label {
font-size: 10px;
color: #333;
}
#yourDiv input {
width: 125px; /* Width of input items in #yourDiv */
border: 1px solid #999;
border-bottom: 1px solid #333;
border-right: 1px solid #333;
}

Hth,
Micky

Re: [css-d] question on layout and Mac check please

2005-11-04 Thread Michael Hulse
I am on Mac, so I do not see this border you talk about... here are 
some screens from the Mac world:

Safari:
http://www.ambiguism.com/CSSD/sharemycodeSafari.jpg

IE5.2:
http://www.ambiguism.com/CSSD/sharemycodeIEMac.jpg

Firefox:
http://www.ambiguism.com/CSSD/sharemycodeFFMac.jpg

I do notice that you wrapped a form around your content... not sure 
why... but, you might want to zero out your margins:

form {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}

I ussually do this for my sites:

* html {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}

And then I add padding or margin as needed.

HTH,
Micky

I say [I am] not sure what else I can offer you in my previous 
response because working with CSS and popup menus (speaking from 
experience) is a bitch (esp. when javascript is involved).

An alternative would be to feed netscape something watered-down... you 
know, like a menu that has all of the popups expanded, or an 
alternative layout that is not as complex and coded in a way that is 
not problematic. Attacking your problem in this way may save you a ton 
of headaches.

If you are using PVII scripts/code, have you checked the 
www.projectseven.com support forums?

 Thanks for the suggestions, but I'm not really sure that it addresses

Well, I was just trying to point out a few issues in hopes that others 
might chime-in on the rest of your problems

 See: http://test.hinshawdesign.com/css/slpl/cluster_masthead_v3.html
 Now it no longer renders correctly in FF.
 I may have possibly misunderstood your direction...

Here is a real quick mockup I did for you:

http://www.ambiguism.com/CSSD/steedman/

Obviously the logo should be replaced... It is not a perfect layout, 
but it should get you going in right direction. I ended up using 
padding to align the elements... There may, and probably is, a better 
way... I am sure there is a good hack for vertical-alignment... 
although:

http://www.sitepoint.com/forums/showpost.php?p=1239968postcount=5

 As to the idea of using a background image for the logo, I know this is
 a bit OT, but would you suggest that a logo is not content? Especially
 in the case of a type-based one, I would think it would be.

OT?

Yeah, sure, you make a good point. I could go either way, it really 
depends on the design for me. I was just trying to make suggestions 
that would make it easier on you.


 Thanks,
 Don

Again, I slapped that layout together very fast, so not bug tested, and 
probably could be done way better, but for now it should get you going 
in right direction.

Cheers,
Micky

 It is rendered differently in different browsers.

 Safari puts it at the bottom where it is supposed to be.
 Firefox puts it about 15% down the page from the top.
 Internet Explorer sort of tiles it, but in some kind of messed up up
 way sarting about half-way down the page and creating overlapping 
 tiles.

 What's up.  All the resources I've read indicate that all current
 browsers should render background styles correctly.


Example page?

Maybe try using units instead of keywords:

background: url(assets/bottom_image.gif) no-repeat scroll 100% 50%;

Prob wont help, but worth a try... Post a link if you can.

[css-d] [CSS hack/filter] Targeting IE5.0/PC only...

2005-11-03 Thread Michael Hulse
Hello,

I only want to target IE5.0/PC only. I also want to do it inline with 
the rest of my styles.

Would something like this do the trick:

/*\*/
#nv ul li a {
float: right;
float/* */:/**/:none;
float:none;
}
/**/

I tried the above, but it appears as though the 3rd/last property/value 
overrides the previous two.  :(

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
Micky

Re: [css-d] DIV question

2005-11-03 Thread Michael Hulse
 I need the DIV to expand to the ends of the image width, but I do not
 want the text below the image to extend past the edges of the image
 (sort of like a newspaper inset).

Are you able to get the width of the image dynamically?

I have used PHP to do exactly what you want: Dynamically grabbing the 
width of the incoming image and applying that width to the containing 
div... worked pretty good for a gallery script...

Not sure if this will help (probably not) but I thought this was a cool 
way to align text with image using DT:

 I do this in all my templates:

Hi, thanks for such a quick response!  :) I really appreciate your time.

You have sent me some great info. And I probably will head that 
direction.

I was just looking for a quick and dirty fix... For just one small 
hack, I wanted to avoid separate style sheet.

I thank you for sharing your technique.  :) Very helpful.

 CSS filters are generally unsafe - except when used correctly to
 separate dead browsers from the living.

 IE6 and previous versions are dead, and can be filtered out safely.

 CSS filter for IE5+/win only, targeting versions less than IE7.

 Can be used in 'styles in page head' and 'external stylesheets'.
 Must be used _complete with @media rule_, and put after all other 
 styles
 so not to interfere with other @media rules if there are any. No 
 further
 separation needed.

 Example with your styles:

 @media all {
  * html #nv ul li a {
   float: right /* IE5.0 + 5.5 + 6 win */;
   float/**/: none /* IE5.5 win */;
   fl\oat: none /* IE6 win */;
  }
 }

 ...safe filter if later versions than IE6 are set to run in 'standard
 mode', according to the Microsoft IE7 team.

Should not a div (block) expand to 100% automatically? Not sure if I am
