Re: [WSG] Inheritance question

I remember reading about a syntax that when applied to an element

Is there really such a syntax? if so, how do I write it?
I tried googling for it, but all I got were pages describing what
inheritance was.
You can set a property for all children of a selector with an asterix:
#something * { ... }; but this could be overridden by another selector
further down the stylesheet, like #something div { ... }.
I don't know of any way to *force* inheritance, or for something to
inherit all parent properties... usually inheritance is done one rule
at a time.

Re: [WSG] Safety experts advise switching browsers
http://www.itweek.co.uk/News/1155868 : Ubizen has advised computer users to switch to alternative web browsers like Netscape or Mozilla for the moment. I think the main problem with switching browsers is visible right there on the page. The header breaks in non IE browsers.

[WSG] Site check please
Hello, I need help from more experienced hands. :-/ I viewed http://www.chopstix.com/ from a client's place today and the right-hand column appeared underneath the middle column. The browser was Windows IE6.0 and the screen resolution was 1280x1024. I changed the screen resolution to 1024x768 but no change. On the other hand, it looks as it should on my machine, which is running Windows IE6.0 and has a screen resolution of 1024x768. Any ideas on what may be the cause of the problem?

[WSG] Fw: Centering Image
I have a two column fluid design with header and footer. On one short page after closing the #main div I want to center a picture across the page under both the nav and main div. On previous pages I have a class clear after the main div and before the footer so I placed the image between the two, ie clear and footer with an id of text-align: center. In IE6 the picture and caption are centered but in Opera, Mozilla, Firefox and Netscape the photo is sitting to the left and the caption is centered. The page can be viewed at http://www.users.bigpond.com/mabcg/philosphy.html (not the permanent address) Any ideas as to the problem would be appreciated.

Re: [WSG] Fw: Centering Image
Again, IE does it wrong. text-align:center is only supposed to align text, but IE uses it to align everyting the style is set to. Try adding this to the styles for the div that controls the image: width: 650px; margin: 0 auto; That should align it.

Any ideas on what may be the cause of the problem? I haven't looked for a solution yet, but I did find another problem. While it looks fine in Firefox 0.9, in IE6 and IE5.5 I got the problem you described. In IE5.01 I found additional problems. The right column was again at the bottom, the lest column was nowhere to be found, and the center was just blank white space above the fold. Bellow the fold IE5.01 looked like 5.5 6, except for the missing left column. Sorry for only offering more problems and no solutions.

I'm not sure I qualify, and I've only been able to give the code a brief
look, but I think I can at least put you on the right path.
For starters, it's a lot easier to debug code which is properly
indented. You want to condense it to save bandwidth, fine, but after
it's debugged. And it's even a 1000 times more important to do so before
asking someone else to help debug.
In regards to your CSS problems, I'm sure the answer can be found in
simplicity. Your HTML and CSS are unnecessarily verbose and complex.
Since your columns are before your center in your source the needed CSS
can be very simple. For the most part, it's only when you want to put
your content first that the CSS can get complex.
Your basic CSS can be as bellow; the rest should be easy to figure out.
body {
background : #cc;
color : #000;
text-align : center;
}
#main {
margin : auto;
width : 700px;
background : #fff;
text-align : left;
}
#l {
float : left;
width : 150px;
}
#r {
float : right;
width : 150px;
}
#c {
margin : 0 150px;
}
And your HTML:
body
div id=main
div id=l/div
div id=r/div
div id=c/div
/div
/body
As per your rounded corners, since each box has only two rounded
corners, you can use the containing div for the lower corner and the
first child element for the upper corner.

Re: [WSG] Site check please
Hmmm... I fixed the above simply by re-ordering the css... Some days CSS just gets me There might be something in that, you know. I'm a novice, myself, and have so much to learn, especially when it comes to the in's and out's of CSS. Opera seems to be the most dependent on order, or so I thought at first, since re-ordering the styles usually had a good effect. That was until I discovered something really odd. Just placing a 'dummy rule' at the top of the style sheet and putting my body styles near the bottom cured a whole heap of problems I was having. Well, this and a couple of 'bug compensators' for IE. So much to learn and so little time... Sorry I can't offer anything else, but the 'big guns' here on the list have pretty much got you covered.

[WSG] Site Check / Improvements
I would appreciate feedback on the following (personal) site (please disregard previous posting): http://www.bureke.com.au/ (temporary address) The main CSS page is at: http://www.bureke.com.au/styles/global.css The site is valid XHTML 1.0 and CSS. I have checked on WIN IE 5.0 and 6, Safari 1.2.2 (Mac), Netscape 7.1 (Mac), IE 5.2 (Mac), Opera 7.5 (Mac), Firefox 0.8 (Mac). A couple of questions: 1. Is there a work around to prevent the left hand navigation from indenting in WIN IE 5.0 (I want to retain the border-bottom, but I think this is why the browser shows the links indented) ? I notice Eric Meyer's example ( http://css.maxdesign.com.au/listamatic/vertical06.htm also has the same quirk in IE 5.0). 2. In IE 5.0 the bottom of #content does not continue to the footer. Any ideas? 3. In both IE 5.0 and 6 there seems to be a padding-left problem with the #rightnav - ie too much space to the left. Any ideas? If someone can also check on WIN IE 5.5 and/or any other WIN browsers ??? Any other suggestions for improvements in layout, style sheet formatting, usability etc, would be gratefully received. I would like the site to also be more accessible - not a great strength of mine, any help here also appreciated.

RE: [WSG] Order of a state (link, visited, etc) styles in a stylesheet
Yes, to the best of my knowledge that is correct: order does matter (although only in some browsers I think) and that is the correct order. And I think that if you don't style everything, it takes the value for the last one in the order (e.g. if you don't style active, it will assume the properties of hover).

Thread closed : Re: [WSG] FireFox 0.9 is out
People, Discussion of installation of Firefox is for http://www.mozillazine.org, rather than here. Discussion of browser support for your pages is fine. If you'd like to put the Web Developer extension (and similar) up on the wsg site resources section then go for it.

Re: [WSG] Inheritance question
Thanks for the reply Justin.
I must have been mistaken about that forced inheritance thing. Would
have been nice to have it, though.

I remember reading about a syntax that when applied to an element
would force all the elements contained within that element to inherit
the properties of the container element.
Is there really such a syntax? if so, how do I write it?
I tried googling for it, but all I got were pages describing what
inheritance was.
You can set a property for all children of a selector with an asterix:
#something * { ... }; but this could be overridden by another selector
further down the stylesheet, like #something div { ... }.
I don't know of any way to *force* inheritance, or for something to
inherit all parent properties... usually inheritance is done one
rule at a time.
