Re: [css-d] ol problem persists

Thanks, Georg. Removing the width and height did the trick. I still can't
understand the complexities of has layout, but as long as I get things to
look right, I'll endure living in ignorance.

 Delete all 'width' and 'height' on list-items if you want IE to behave.

[css-d] ol problem persists

2008-12-12 Thread wlb
Greetings!

I've been having trouble for awhile getting  ordered lists to appear with
the correct sequential numbers and/or letters in IE 7.

None of the various options for list-stye-type worked, so I just omitted
them altogether and went for the default ol style, but all the numbers are
still all ones with no sequential numbering. I know that there is a bug
surrounding the list-style-type attributes in IE, but I thought that the
default would surely work. It does in all browsers save for IE. I'm not sure
how to solve this. Any help appreciated.

Here is an example:

[css-d] IE list-style-type bug

2008-12-04 Thread wlb
Greetings!

I had a page with several  ordered lists ol and styled them with
lower-alpha, which produced lists of all number 1s with no sequential
numbering. I tried several other possibilities with similar results.
Finally, I gave up and changed the lists to ul tags, but I've read that
this also can cause problems and that even list-style-type: none; doesn't
work in IE 5.5, 6.0, and 7.0.

Should I just give up on lists altogether or is there some workaround I'm
missing. Any suggestions appreciated.

Re: [css-d] Can't put #8220; in a blockquote?

2008-11-23 Thread wlb
HI Peter,
I've been struggling with archiving lots of materials to PDF recently, and
the curly quotes get changed to straight ones consistently in the OCR—quite
maddening—so I sympathize with your plight about these small but important
details.

What you are doing looked correct to me, so I decided to do an experiment
and and made a very simple page using #8220; and #8221; entities for the
quotation marks within blockquote tags.

http://www.boletta.com/blockquote/

The HTML and CSS on my page both validate. i wonder why. I can't see any
difference between what you are doing and what my HTML does. Maybe someone
else can catch something and will tell us what is going on.

[css-d] Layout jumps around

2008-11-15 Thread wlb
Greetings!

I have a minor but irritating problem.

I am prototyping a site that uses a graphic navbar at the top. The buttons
work, but some of the buttons (classes and seminar) cause the entire
layout to jump about 10 px to the right when clicked. This only happens in
Safari and Opera on the Mac. Firefox on Mac and WIN and IE 6  7 on WIN have
no problem, as far as I can tell. In WIN IE 5 on the MAC, the nav buttons
don't show up at all. I haven't checked it in WIN IE 5.

 All these buttons have uniform CSS in the external stylesheet, so they
shouldn't jump around like this. I have combed through the HTML in
classes.html and seminar.html (the problem files) but can't find
anything strange or wrong. The CSS validates and the five HTML files do as
well. I am at a loss to figure this out.

Here are the URLs:

http://www.boletta.com/bolestyle/

http://www.boletta.com/bolestyle/bolestyle.css

Any help appreciated.

[css-d] IE Problem (naturally!)

2008-11-11 Thread wlb
Greetings!

I finally finished this website and everything works perfectly on all
browsers (Win  Mac) except for IE 6 and 7 on Windows.

I have a graphic decoration at the bottom of each of the following two pages
and have used CSS margin-left to position them, but IE doesn't seem to
recognize the margin and places the graphic on the left side of the screen.
I tried fiddling with the padding as well, but then everything got very
messed up.

Here are the pages with problems:

http://www.boletta.com/aau/book.html

http://www.boletta.com/aau/type.html

Here is the external stylesheet:

http://www.boletta.com/aau/portfolio.css

I can't figure out what causes this to happen in IE or if I am doing
something wrong in CSS (or XHTML). All of the HTML is valid. I also checked
all the embedded and external stylesheets  at WC3 and the CSS is all valid.

I am stumped. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Bill Boletta

[css-d] Firefox Focus prob. solved

2008-11-05 Thread wlb
Thanks to Mustafa and Philippe, my problem is now solved. I added the
overflow:hidden

to the li and it worked like a charm.

I guess there is no way to get rid of the red/blue focussing rings
altogether. I thought that no-decoration would do it, but that didn't
work. Not a really big deal, but a slight annoyance.

This is an area of CSS I'm not so familiar with. I must say that when I
looked through my CSS reference books, the answer wasn't immediately
apparent. That's why this CSS list is such a godsend.

Thanks again.

[css-d] Strange behavior in Fireworks

2008-11-04 Thread wlb
I just finished doing a website with navigation buttons at the top of each
page which are actually produced by a largish graphic that shifts around
with CSS telling it where to go.
These button work fine in the latest versions of Safari Explorer, Opera, and
Chrome on both Windows and Mac, but the latest versions of Firefox on both
Mac and Win produce long blue and red lines projecting off to the left side
of the display when they are clicked. It must be a CSS problem, but I can't
figure out what. I'm surprised since Firefox is supposed to be so savvy with
CSS.

Here is the URL:
http://www.boletta.com/aau/

CSS is here:

http://www.boletta.com/aau/portfolio.css

There are also additional local CSS stylesheets in the head tag of each page
which you can access by calling up the source in browsers.

Any suggestions for correcting this problem would be appreciated. I'm
already late for a deadline.

Many thanks,

Bill Boletta
