[css-d] text size issue in IE vs. FireFox.

[Phil Winter]

Hello All,

I'm using a two-column layout and I'm having problems with several 
things.  First, I have to update the site
frequently, meaning that the left column changes in length.  If I add too 
much content, it flows beyond
the end of the content area.  I solved this by use a height: rule on the 
content div.  I HATE using
height rules!

The second problem I'm having is that if the text size is increased, the 
content flows out of the content
area.  I solved this in IE by using a font-size:12px;  But Firefox seems 
to ingore the font-size rule - it
allows the viewer to increase or decrease font size in spite of the rule 
fixing the font size at a certain
pixel dimension.

I did add an overflow:auto; rule on the wrapper, which adds a scroll bar 
if the text becomes too large,
but my footer does not stay at the bottom of the contents.

Here's a link to the site in question.  http://www.bsvw.com/

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Phil

[css-d] Still stuck

[Phil Winter]

Hello All,

A couple of days ago I posted a request for help with a CSS menu that would 
not work in IE6, but
worked great in Firefox.  I received a great response that pointed me to 
this article,
http://www.alistapart.com/articles/horizdropdowns/

This was a big help, and I implemented it the best I could, but the menu 
STILL will not work in
IE6!

Here's a link to the html page with the 
CSS.  http://www.webdesignpartners.com/blackstock/index.html

Here's the Javascript in the drop_down.js file that I copied from the 
article.  I'm not a JS programmer,
so it's very possible I've made some stupid mistake.

startList = function() {
if (document.alldocument.getElementById) {
navRoot = document.getElementById(nav);
for (i=0; inavRoot.childNodes.length; i++) {
node = navRoot.childNodes[i];
if (node.nodeName==LI) {
node.onmouseover=function() {
this.className+= over;
   }
   node.onmouseout=function() {
   this.className=this.className.replace( over, );
}
}
   }
  }
}
window.onload=startList;

Any help with this will be greatly appreciated!

[css-d] Solved the problem.

Thanks to all of you who replied.  My drop down now works in IE6, still a 
little rough,
but I'll iron out those problems.

Regards,

Phil

[css-d] Need help with CSS menu in IE6

[Phil Winter]

Hello,

I'm implementing a navigation menu in CSS in the left column of the 
page.  One menu
item (the last one, Join Blackstock) is a drop down, or fly-out.

It works fine in Firefox, but the submenu won't display in IE 6.  I'm sure 
there's something
I'm missing.

Here's a link to the 
page:  http://www.webdesignpartners.com/blackstock/index.html

Thanks!

Phil

[css-d] Still problems with Faux columns

[Phil Winter]

I've been able to solve several problems on my own since my
previous post, but the faux columns this is driving me nuts.
http://www.webdesignpartners.com/perfect_gift/index.html

If you view this page in IE, it looks exactly the way I want
it to (except for the colors, which were not my decision).

When you view it in FF, the repeating gif does not appear.
But, it DOES appear if I put a border around the content_
wrapper div, which I don't want.  Can anyone tell me
how I can get the faux columns thing working without
using the border?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Phil
