Re: [WSG] last quirk on this site - help!
Argh! Urk! Of course.
Thankyou Hugh. And I'm still not buying an iSight.
P
Pete,
I think I've found the problem with your layout. Very easy to fix.
Try setting your #rightcolumn to float left instead of right:
#rightcolumn {
float: left;
border: none;
width: 220px;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
-Hugh
Would anyone be able to identify this exciting new MacIE5-only behaviour?
http://universalhead.com/clients/jands/lighting.html
CSS at
http://universalhead.com/clients/jands/css/jands.css
It works in every other Mac and Win modern browser, but MacIE5
explodes the width of the maincontent div to make a ridiculously
wide layout.
I'd really appreciate someone cracking this last nut so I can
declare the CSS for this site DONE!

Re: [WSG] CD Navigation
Gavin, So the navigation that ColdFusion creates is above, and I would welcome any feedback you can give me. Any suggestions on how to tidy up the CSS or HTML? Several display issues (without looking at the code). 1) None of the current Mac browsers, AFAIK, currently display PDFs in the browser window (by default, that is, without a third party plug-in). So your frame setup won't work unless the question pages are in HTML. (All of the PDF links will open in the Adobe or Apple PDF readers.) 2) In non-IE browsers the left hand column appears in a completely expanded form. One very long column of links. This could be explained by the fact that the Javascript code used to expand the links is written explicitly for IE only. This makes me cross. 3) The header does not behave itself in IE5 Mac or Mozilla Mac. Looks OK in the beautifully well-behaved Safari. 4) In IE 5 and Mozilla the Sample 1 icon in each question seems to repeat itself, with an overlap. Even more bizarrely, the left hand, underneath version of the icon actually drifts a few pixels off the left hand border of the Mozilla browser. In Safari, no doubling up of the Sample 1 icon, but *all of the icons drift left off the left hand border of the browser. Looks as though you may want to go to browsercam right away. -Hugh Todd :) * The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ *
Re: [WSG] setting up a PX with old browsers
You should be able to run the following browsers on the same partition in Windows: Mozilla Mozilla Firebird Netscape 4,6,7 IE 3,4,5,5.5,6 Opera 5,6,7 iTunes For more on running multiple IE's there is a post on this list late last year from Mark Stanton I believe. hth James Universal Head wrote: Does anyone have and advice or tips on setting up a PC with as many browsers as possible to do site testing? At the moment I have a PC with 2 partitions - WIN98 and WIN2000, with IE5.5 on the 98 parttion, and IE6 and Netscape7 on the 2000 partition. I'm keen to get some other browsers on there for testing but perhaps someone else has gone down this road before and has an optimal setup for a testing machine. The PC does absolutely nothing else - just test sites! hee hee Peter * The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ *
Re: [WSG] CD Navigation
Hugh, Thanks for your reply. I didn't want to make you cross! I just lifted that javascript from somewhere, and i'll get working on a non-IE version. I realise that users will have to download acrobat. The pages cannot be in HTML because they are student hand-writing samples. They also need to be fully-printable. I suppose i could use Jpegs on a HTML page, but PDF seems the best bet. I've got browser cam working as we speak.

Re: [WSG] setting up a PX with old browsers
Hi Peter, You might like to read this for one: Multiple IE's in Windows http://www.insert-title.com/web_design/?page=articles/dev/multi_IE ...and while the topic is raised. I'd be interested how others are doing their cross browser testing, browser cam, Mac with Virtual PC, multiple boxes, etc. Nick Does anyone have and advice or tips on setting up a PC with as many browsers as possible to do site testing? At the moment I have a PC with 2 partitions - WIN98 and WIN2000, with IE5.5 on the 98 parttion, and IE6 and Netscape7 on the 2000 partition. I'm keen to get some other browsers on there for testing but perhaps someone else has gone down this road before and has an optimal setup for a testing machine.
