[css-d] a couple of questions: dif style sheets and min height??
Hello again everyone.. Just a couple of questions... I have built a little site which uses png's. These images sit slightly off the wrapper div. The image have a drop shadow which all works in the latest browsers. Now, if I want to keep the shadow in explorer 6 and below I have to use a alpha filter, which I need to look into. Has anyone used this filter for older browsers? and does the it validate properly? Or, could you use different images without shadows but only display these for IE browsers 6 and below...Is this possible? also, Because the my sites type renders different on certain screens resolutions, where the image on the right has an absolute position, the contents section's height gets very small, almost allowing the png file to touch the footer. Is there a way I can set a Min size height to the content div? I dont want set a total height if possible.. It needs to stay validated in all browsers..??

The KISS rule applies here. Given it's position you could take a screen snapshot including the edge of the background and resave it as a jpg. 24/32 bit PNG's are not really web friendly (very slow on dialup).

If you set your body font as a percentage then use EM's to scale it (where 1em = 100%) you will resolve many font issues. Using percentages throughout can result in trouble with nested font scaling (you get 90% of 90%). To be honest i haven't taken the time to check if this is your issue. Work beckons...

I'll have another look at 8bit png files. I'll check out the min height css style too. I thought I had seen it somewhere but wasn't too sure if ie understood it. As for the navigation across the whole browser, well, I'm a little bit restricted to the small amount of content, so i based the site on a fixed width to contain what I had. I'm still a novice when it comes to font styling using ems, though I understand the upside of using them... thanks for all your help so far,, rob On 21/01/2008, Michael Adams [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Mon, 21 Jan 2008 15:47:13 + Rob freeman wrote: Hello again everyone..

There is a lot of continuous tone in that image. It should really be a jpg. I experimented with your picture of the paint pots. Turned it into a 90% JPG and it was 30kb rather than the 132kb png you have got there. -- Marten Gallagher annerykiln.co.uk Web Design and Management __ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] 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/
