Re: [WSG] header alignment working in everything but safari
Thanks Hugh, I didn't think to try resizing the browser window. As you mentioned it did jump back 1 pixel. I have to resort to the method you mentioned instead. Thanks for helping me understand the problem. Ian http://www.e-lusion.com Ian, You seem to be up against a rendering issue that you can probably not solve with your current method. When I resize the browser window in Firefox your header appears to move 1 px away from the left edge of your centred column and then back again. So it looks like Safari, and then aligns as you intend, alternately. When I take out your 1px left margin hack it works the other way. What this indicates to me is that Firefox cannot resolve a sub-pixel placement (remember, you're centring an image, so it will fall between pixels) except by moving it slightly left or slightly right. (I don't know why the body image and the header image don't always align, but I do think you're correct that Safari does it right.) Solution? Use a repeating background (repeat-y) for your header, including that stripy band down the bottom, and use a header with a graphic background (or an image, or image replacement) for your Beachhouse logo thingy. -Hugh Todd On 14/10/2004, at 2:50 PM, Ian Main wrote: I've spent too long trying to get my head around this. http://www.e-lusion.com/design/beachhouse/ http://www.e-lusion.com/design/beachhouse/screen.css Safari error http://e-lusion.com/design/beachhouse/13499.png I have placed a Faux Column image on the body which is centred. Than placed a repeated a centred header image with a width of 757px within a centred container. The problem is most browsers are rendering this correctly except for Safari 1.2. I don't want to put my background image on my container element as the floats are stopping it from repeating. It actually looks like Safari is the correct renderer (is that a word?) as the body, container and header all should be centred but I had to add margin-left: 1 on to both header images.

Re: [WSG] Transparent Background on a list item
:) Right that makes sense now ... thanks... Hugh Todd wrote: Jackie, The height didn't change the transparency. It revealed more of your #nav1's background image. Remember, a float (unless cleared) will happily extend beyond the borders of its container. Except in IE PC, but that is a bug. So if you want your #nav1's background to resize in proportion to text as it resizes, you will have to give it a percentage or an em height measurement. :) Hugh Hugh.Why did that work? Why would the height of a div make something turn transparent? h. confusing that...doesnt seem logical somehow.

Re: [WSG] help with fixed positioning in IE
Thanks, Grant. I'll give it a try. You mentioned that for you, it went
almost to the top. For me, it doesn't budge an inch. I guess that
means that the javascript-disabled won't be able to go to the top at
all. I suppose I could always use a a name= tag, although I'd
rather not.
Thanks.

the only solution I can offer is to use javascript with a gracefully degrading

it's probably worth putting it into a function. And it works on everything except
Mac/IE (5.0,5.1 and 5.2) which still goes 'almost to the top':
a href=#top onclick=if(navigator.userAgent.indexOf('MSIE') == -1){ window.scrollTo(0, 0); return

For instance, in Netscape 7.2 on Mac the back to top takes me back to
'Adapted from fixed positioning' not to 'Fixed header and footer'.
This isn't too bad when the header is only 60px but if it were 120 the
difference would be quite a worry.

Well, in that case I've misunderstood what you're trying to do with the

Re: [SPAM] Re: [WSG] A few problems with IE
Kim--
I believe it may be in your styling of your 'li's padding:
.tabs li {
float:left;
background:url(tab_left.gif) no-repeat left top;
margin:0;
padding:0 0 0 6px;
border-bottom:1px solid #666;
white-space: nowrap;}
You're assigning it a left padding of 6 pixels, which is preventing
your 'a' from spanning the entire space of your 'li'. Could that be
your culprit?

To get it to work the way you intend it, you need to position
#containingbox as well. Use position:relative with no other offset.
All you're doing here is effectively providing an anchor, an origin,
for #disco, and not actually moving #containingbox anywhere.

Re: [WSG] Positioning Quandry
Hi Chris,
Absolute positioning places an element absolutely, with regard to its
containing box.
Also, when positioning within a container even though it is implicit,
its good to also specify position: relative; to the container's
selector. I'm not sure if this is in the spec or not, but browsers
will position relative to the viewport if you don't.
Also, you need a ; after you background image.

[WSG] Accessibility : Turing/CAPTCHA test
A while ago I brought up the topic of the Turing/CAPTCHA test on forms and whether it restricted accessibility on forms. The general opinion was of course that it does. I just found this article: My article about Turing Protection generated lots of comments about how using image CAPTCHAs restricts access to the visually impaired. So, Ive played around a bit, and added an audio component. If you cant read the CAPTCHA image, you can listen to a .WAV file of our lovely server, spelling out the characters to you. http://viebrock.ca/code/16/turing-with-audio Clearly as the author says it has it's limitations but in spite of that I thought it may be interesting or useful to some.

RE: [WSG] web photo album [ADMIN]
Hi folks, This isn't on topic at all. We don't talk about specific web applications on this list, just the concepts surrounding the output of any system. Please continue this discussion on the CMS list as that is far more appropriate (the content being the images in this case). See the resources section of the website for details of joining the CMS list.

No database, no PHP. All you need is to use Photoshop's Automate feature and do a bulk rename in Windows for the images and thumbnails. You can add captions via a caption.js file.

What makes singapore different from the hundreds of other similar scripts is that it is specifically geared towards displaying photographic art and as such looks much nicer than most galleries. See it. It does NOT require MySQL or other database programs since all image information is stored in flat text CSV files (although an optional MySQL backend is planned for a future release). singapore also implements an info in filename system where artist and title information can be coded into the directory and file names meaning no database is required at all. More... Current features: * Flexible modes of operation: o Can store image info in CSV files on server (no database), or o Can store image info in directory and file names (no setup), or o Can function without any extra image info. * Multi language support * Support for unlimited depth of nested sub-galleries * Support for skins and templates * Very easy setup * Web based admin to add, delete edit images and galleries * Automatically generates thumbnails (requires GD or ImageMagick) * Generated thumbnails are cached for speed * Images may be stored on a different server * Image viewing statistics * User defined image information such as location taken, camera used etc. * XHTML 1.0 and CSS 2.0 compatible output only (no JavaScript and no cookies) Neerav Bhatt http://www.bhatt.id.au Web Development IT consultancy http://www.bhatt.id.au/blog/ - Ramblings Thoughts http://www.bookcrossing.com/mybookshelf/neerav john wrote: Hello, WSG.

Re: [WSG] Text Escaping from Floats

So if Float A has 20 lines of text, I want float B to be the same height (for borders and aesthetics). I think point 2 is acheivable with javascript, but point one is elluding me!
