[WSG] liquid layout and image sizes

2004-11-06 Thread Thorsten
howdy,
how do you guys tackle image sizes when using liquid layouts? to my 
knowledge, you can't really set relative sizes for images without 
indirectly cropping the image, right?

this question has been loitering at the back of my mind for quite a 
while now.

[WSG] Lists and images

2004-11-06 Thread Razvan Pop
Hello.

Here is what I'm trying to do:

I have a list, each LI contains some text and an image. Text must be
on the left, image on the right. Also the text must be vertical
aligned middle and the height and width of the images may vary.

My example: http://play.cpea.ro/css/lista.html

Is this possible or not?:)

2004-11-06 Thread Natalie Buxton
You could set your image as a background:

background: url(your/image/path.img) no-repeat right center;

Add margins or padding as needed.

OR you could do it as a SPAN inside the list OR as a definition list
and have the images as your DD floated right.

Lots of different ways.

You can treat images as any other element, or in combination with other 
elements. Clip, crop, overflow, shrink to fit and 
max-width/min-width methods works well in a liquid layout.

I'm not saying it is easy to make any of these methods work in a 
cross-browser stable way (you've got IE/win), but it is manageable - 
often in complex combinations.

Anyway, you asked how we do it, and I use the available methods as they 
seem right on any given page. The shrink to fit method is my favorite. 
That's images relatively sized to the environment - within limits.

Georg

 That's the biggest problem.

Want a rough-as-guts solution? Write your styles into the li element on the
fly from your database.

Look up the image name and it height. These two bits of info can be used to
general inline styles - just for the critical info. The name of the file is
drawn in the style for the background image. The height of the image is
divided by 2 and this figure is used as padding on top and bottom of the
list. The output (completely dynamically driven) could then be something
like:

li style=background: url(http://play.cpea.ro/css/sistem.gif); padding-top:
20px; padding-bottom: 20px;

As I said... Rough  :)

IE5/Mac doesn't like the {height:100%;} you have assigned to div#main. 
It appears to be interpreting that rule as '100% of the height of the

[WSG] Letting clients update their site

2004-11-06 Thread Erwin Heiser
Hi all,

I¹m a one man operation and mostly do smaller sites.
A lot of clients these days are requesting to be able to do their own
updates on their sites, but haven¹t a clue when it comes
to XHTML or CSS.
What I¹d like to prevent (as one client did) is that they edit the pages
with Microsoft Frontpage so that your nice valid XHTML page in no time
 gets turned into the tagsoup we all try so hard to avoid.
I¹ve been experimenting with something like pMachine (
http://www.pmachine.com/pmachinepro/ ) which, for instance now powers the
(bi-lingual) news sections on this site I did recently:
http://www.pilatesworks.be
Then again, even this is too complicated for some people (and has to be
installed on their server).
I¹d like to hear from some of you how you go about this and what solutions
you use or present to your clients...
Thanks in advance,

Erwin Heiser.

Hi Erwin,

I'm also a one operation. If you're using Dreamweaver, have you looked
into the Advance HTML Editor located here?

http://www.dmxzone.com/ShowDetail.asp?NewsId=6180

Or possibly Macromedia's Contribute?

Unfortunately I haven't had the opportunity to use either. My clients

the bug is rather simple, and is in this line:

div#content div { margin: 0 auto; max-width: 600px; 
padding: 0 216px 0 106px; }
snip
 

Take away either the auto side 
margins or the max-width and the ghost does
not appear. 
 

  Granted, but doing what you suggest would be an unpardonable sin 
(there goes what makes this layout) . There's got to be another way...

*On my end* ( V5.1 build 2600.xpsp_2_rtm.040803-215:SP2) these methods 
stop the flicker:
1) Wrapping  each of the 4 iframes in a dummy division.
2)  Moving h3 from inside #frame to outside #frame. This what I'm 
currently using.
3)  Deleting the thumbnails in the sidebars. I showed no flicker before 
adding that script.

Re: [WSG] Letting clients update their site

2004-11-06 Thread Jason Anderson
Hi Erwin,

Maybe we can talk.  I'm in the process of developing a service that
would allow clients to do just that, without affecting the design. 
One of my main goals right now is a simple user interface, since all
the CMS-type offerings I've see are far too complicated for many new
users.  It's not really ready for the general public, but I'm
interested in getting some ideas from other designers about how to
integrate it with existing projects.  How do you store your pages? 
Are they plain .html files or are they generated dynamically?

I'd like to avoid many of the problems I see in other CMS systems, and
make something that's really pleasant for users (and designers) to
work with.  I've only been offering it to my clients up to now, but if
you're interested, maybe there's some way I can help.

Cheers!

The HTML markup as I have it is essential for the hover effect to work.
   Either of these changes eliminate the characters and bring back the

[WSG] Overlaping [A]

2004-11-06 Thread helmut
Hello all,

Simple question

I had set up a pseudo-class like this

a.sub:link { property } 
a.subTwo.link { property }...

It was working fine until I decided to define a global anchor pseudo-class

a.link { property } ...
a.sub:link { property } 
a.subTwo.link { property }...

Now sub and subTwo have inherited the a class properties even though I had
declared individual properties for each one of them and applied directly to
links, for example:

a href=# class=subTwoLink Goes Here/a

Could some one give me a hint?

Thanks!!

Yup, that's fine - for HTML4.
You might, however, like to look at standardising your tags in lower 
case - you currently have a mix of upper and lower, and while this 
won't cause problems with your HTML 4.01 Transitional DOCTYPE, if you 
ever want to 'upgrade' to XHTML, you'll need to change all your tags to 
lower case. Save yourself the work later, and do it now...

Er zijn twee manieren om dit op te lossen zonder dar geld aan te hangen:

* de WYSIWYG methode
 het probleem hiervan is dat je enkel html/xhtml kan opslaan
 als je dat later wil in iets ander wil omsetten wordt het moeilijk
 xstandard lite is gratis en mag voor commerciele doeleinden gebruikt worden
 http://xstandard.com/
* de andere methode
 hiermee sla je eigenlijk puur tekst op met hier en daar tekentjes om
vetgedrukte dingen of lijsten aan te duiden
 uiterst eenvoudig om op te slaan in een database
 ook voor als je een zoeksysteem moet implementeren ga je dit aprecieren
 het vervelende hieraan is dat je na iedere update een preview moet tonen

bon, het is laat en ik ga gaan slape
hopelijk had je hier iets aan

[WSG] Color Schemes

Subject: digest for [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Not sure if this is off-topic or not.  If it is, I apologise now.  But I
hope it isn’t off-topic, so I’ll continue … .
 
Does anyone have a favourite colour scheme tool?    What I’m looking for is
a tool for design-challenged klutzes like me (well ok it’s actually FOR me.
 I admit it!) where I can take a couple of given colours such as in a logo,
and create a suggested colour scheme for a site?  With alternative
contrasting or complementary colours.
 
I can spend as long trying to work out colours as I can on the whole rest of
the designing process.  I have read plenty of tutorials on the subject, so
that’s not what I’m looking for.  The trouble is, every tutorial I read
makes it more obvious that I’m a ditz when it comes to colour and design.
(Something my wife has been telling me for 30 years).  I get more and more
confused as I read more.  What I’d like to find is something I saw once
years ago and can’t find any more … I’d like to enter say two colours that I
get from a logo, and click to get a few colour scheme suggestions that would
work together with those colours.   From there I could refine the lighter
and darker colours I need using my own blender tool on my web site.  
 
(If you haven’t seen that, I’m really proud of it.  It’s the first design
tool I’ve ever made.  It’s at http://afpwebworks.com/ColourSchemer/index.cfm
 - you put in the starting colour, and the finishing colour, and the number
of steps you want up to 20 and it’ll give you the values of the 20 steps
from one colour to the other, with blocks and text in those colours. )
 
Anyway, can anyone help me out with a colour scheme design tool please?
 
 
Cheers

[WSG] Melbourne Meeting Nov 15: XForms plus Body Class Switcheroo

2004-11-06 Thread afdesign
Melbourne members
Our second last meeting for this year will be on Monday November 15. See 
details below and note the new venue (Medibank Building, 700 Collins St, 
16th floor. This venue actually has a projector...I feel better now!).

As well as the set agenda we'll also be discussing our plans for our 
final meeting for the year, hopefully a christmas break up sort of 
thing, maybe over a cheap meal. The working plan is a debate (a la WE04 
Smackdown) of sorts. Cameron Adams has been charged with thinking up a 
few topics...so this could be interesting.

As always RSVP to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
cheers
