[wdvltalk] More CSS Fun!
All,
I'm currently redeveloping a website using xHtml 1.0 Strict and CSS.
Some of you helped me out with a problem with the xHtml yesterday, now I
need help with the CSS!
The site is here: http://www.truthisfreedom.org.uk/new_site/ and the
problem is that I can't seem to get the top bar (with the word Logo in
it) to change height! The code for that div's id is as follows:
#top {
margin: 20px 20px 0px 20px;
padding: 10px;
border: 5px solid #d7d9ec;
height: 100px; /* ie5win fudge begins */
voice-family: \}\;
voice-family:inherit;
height: 100px;
text-align: center;
}
htmlbody #top {
height: 100px; /* ie5win fudge ends */
}
I've tried changing all the height variables one by one then all at once
but there's still no change in size!
Any comments on the layout would be appreciated too, but this is very
early days! :p
Cheers,
Matt

Ignore all that, its working now, dunno what it was, but I'm not too
bothered to tell the truth! :p
OK, so its not exactly best practice not to work out why it didn't work
before, but hey, I'm not a pro! :D

Matt,
I know you've already solved this one, but I had to throw in m2c about
using hacks... Bad hack. Naughty hack. Go back to Tantek's house.
rant
Seriously though, if you're learning CSS, the way to go about it is not
by editing out the behaviors of particular browsers, it's better to write
to spec and then make note of how different browsers render things. Don't
derive workarounds or employ them before you know they are *absolutely*
necessary. The hack above is Tantek Celik's infamous 'voice-family hack'
and it is meant to correct the erroneous box model of IE5 and IE5.5...
The whole difference in box models really just boils down to how they
handle padding. My personal solution is to employ a single structural
hack which I've heard refferred to as the 'box-in-a-box' hack. This hack
also works around IE's lack of 'min-width'/'max-width'. It is simply
a div directly inside of a div which uses its own margin to simulate
padding on its parent div. It looks like it would work fine for you, too.
Ack! besides, the code above doesn't even follow the hack. It's meant
to feed IE a different width, that way you get pixel perfect display
across all the browsers in the universe (to which I say bah-humbug), but
the code above gives IE the same value (100px) inside of the voice family
hack as outside, therefore its not doing /anything/.
Something else to take into consideration is that if you are forcing IE
into standards mode (IE6 being around 60% of the 95% overall market share)
the differences between it and other browsers are greatly lessened.
I'm admittedly venting a bit here, but I wish someone had told me to
hang up the hacks when I was trying to learn CSS.
/rant
okay, I'm done. though, I'll likely spend the next two hours cleaning
split-pea soup off my monitor ;)

second that: I have never had to use the voice model hack, but in IE 5.5 anyway there is a flaw that means you need to nest a 'content' div within a div to both centre the 'content' div eg, if it contains an image, or to apply padding and border attributes, note that this also applies to fixed width divs ( or any block element..).. www.WellingtonLive.co.nz - Original Message - From: Stephen Caudill Sent: Thursday, September 11, 2003 12:05 AM Subject: [wdvltalk] RE: More CSS Fun! : The whole difference in box models really just boils down to how they : handle padding.

[wdvltalk] RE: Windows XP editions
The reason the seller probably said that is that it has partial truth. Many vendors have Backup CDs sent out with their computers, these CDs contain everything needed for the operating system to work immediately, but the usual downfall is that the drivers are customized to the hardware of that machine. I had a heck of a time changing my notebook from WinXP to Win2K Pro because I had no drivers disks for my hardware, I had to basically gundeck installing all of the drivers and trick my computer. So the problem with the CDs the guy is selling is probably proprietary hardware drivers that would only work on a similar dell system to the one he got it from. Plus its illegal for anyone to sell OEM versions of Operating systems I believe unless they include the hardware it came with.

[wdvltalk] Re: More CSS Fun!
I had exactly the same problem on something I'm working on - I was
using as the basis for it one of the css examples that Cheryl
recommended - the one which had a lot of boxes layouts... Similar
code to Matt's example - probably shared an ancestor.
Anyway, top box wouldn't increase its height when it had its border
no matter what I did - ie added together the height of the logos, the
padding , the border set that as total number of pixels for height
both times it occured in that sample - had it up to 350px at one
stage... damn box still too small. Swore at it every time I came back
to it in the end I took the border padding off the top section.
Then it was better.
Project's barely got beyond the front page setting the layout at
the moment - http://www.gaycampaigns.org.uk - which is an achievement
as there are several campaigning groups represented ranging from
rabid to moderate the fact that they all like the logo I put
together for this is amazing in itself ...
However: while I'm confessing to codal inadequacy a lingering
dependence on tables - how you get a logo to appear bang in the
center of the screen other than by using a one cell table set to
height=100%, please ?
Franni
Ignore all that, its working now, dunno what it was, but I'm not too
bothered to tell the truth! :p
OK, so its not exactly best practice not to work out why it didn't work
before, but hey, I'm not a pro! :D
Cheers Anyways,
Matt

All,
I'm currently redeveloping a website using xHtml 1.0 Strict and CSS.
Some of you helped me out with a problem with the xHtml yesterday, now I
need help with the CSS!
The site is here: http://www.truthisfreedom.org.uk/new_site/ and the
problem is that I can't seem to get the top bar (with the word Logo in
it) to change height! The code for that div's id is as follows:
#top {
margin: 20px 20px 0px 20px;
padding: 10px;
border: 5px solid #d7d9ec;
height: 100px; /* ie5win fudge begins */
voice-family: \}\;
voice-family:inherit;
height: 100px;
text-align: center;
}
htmlbody #top {
height: 100px; /* ie5win fudge ends */
}
I've tried changing all the height variables one by one then all at once
but there's still no change in size!
Any comments on the layout would be appreciated too, but this is very
early days! :p
Cheers,
Matt

[wdvltalk] Re: More CSS Fun!
umm, what about layers with the logo set as the background and any other
divs set with z-index? youcould still use relative positioning but of course
at some window sizes the logo would underlay the text.
