Re: [WSG] IE: footer jumping

Stuff jumping around like that in IE usually indicates a hasLayout issue.  
An easy way to test is to do * { height: 1% }; it'll probably do strange  
things to the layout, but if it stops the jumping, you know you then only  
have to narrow it down to the offending element.

Re: [WSG] IE: footer jumping

2007-08-09 Thread John Faulds
You narrow it down progressively by applying it to different elements  
until you find the right one, e.g. #container * { }, #header * {}, #footer  
* {} etc. When you work out it's in one of those larger containers, you  
can then test individual elements.

Re: [WSG] setting fontsize in body

2007-08-09 Thread Gunlaug Sørtun

Tony Crockford wrote:

sizes.


Such a prevention is only relevant for IE-users who don't know how to
use their browsers to prevent such prevention from taking effect.
Actually, most pages break in IE because the designer think they can
prevent font resizing, and hasn't taken into account what happens _when_
a user know how to use IE/win (any version) to that effect.


you did once post a useful method for setting a default on body that 
allowed the use of ems, but didn't change the users browser defaults,

i can't remember what it was, though, was it set the body font-size
to medium? or just use 100%.

IE being broken requires some setting on body font-size or em sizing 
will break.


Not quite true.

IE needs the *base* font-size to be set in percentage, if we want to use
em further in without triggering the 'em font-resizing bug'...

http://www.gunlaug.no/contents/wd_additions_13.html

However, that *base* can be any page-container, not just body or html.


For min/max workarounds (javascript or expressions) where IE6's internal
font-size has to be read, we _can't_ declare font-size on html or body.
Our declaration(s) will otherwise override IE's default, and return them
to our workarounds, making them useless. In such cases we have to move
our font-size *base* further in.

Example of such a case...

http://www.gunlaug.no/tos/moa_12tp2.html



what's the best pragmatic approach?


My own pragmatic approach follows.

1: to declare 'font-size: 100%' on *base* (whatever element that is),
and not size down towards some conditional equalizer like the 62.5% and
then up again. The less deviation from a 100% base, the less problems
with font resizing options in browsers.


given that we can't (commercially) just let the browsers dictate font
 and font size (as times new roman at default doesn't give you many 
words per line and *is* hard to read) how best to set a font-size 
that doesn't prevent users from choosing something else.


2: to choose font-families with high readability factor regardless of
size, and make sure they don't deviate too much in readable size from
the most used font-families our text may end up as.

my view has been that those that need something special, generally 
know how to do it and those that don't either don't care or can't be 
bothered.  e.g I find white text on a dark background difficult to 
read, so rarely spend time on sites with a dark theme.  Others I know
 find black text on white harder...  flexibility and choice are the 
key surely?


3: test that the solution actually works over a wide range of existing
defaults and browser options.

4: keep on familiarizing ourselves with as many browsers, browser
options and other smart solutions and variables that are placed
between us and the end user, as possible, so we know what our solutions
may be exposed to.

5: accept that we can't expect to get any of our personal
design-preferences through to the end user - unaltered. There's rarely
any need to accept major breaking though - provided we have designed for
the web.

Georg

[WSG] IE7 on XP security problems

2007-08-09 Thread M. Jama
Hey Guys,

I am having this problem, I used custom Firefox properties to get the
desired opacity effect

filter:alpha(opacity=65);-moz-opacity:.65;opacity:.65;

Now it works just fine on IE7:VISTA , FF:VISTA , FF:XP , FF:MAC, SAFARI:MAC,
when it comes to IE7:XP the browser throws in the activex controller
security in the information bar and disables my opacity effect, however if
you accept it will enable it again , but people might get paranoid and
suspicious about such matter.

Just wondering if there is a way around it ? sorry can't provide URL cause
the site is on secure development server!

Thanks alot

I am 99% certain your problem is with:

filter:alpha(opacity=65);

which is not a FF property, it's an IE ActiveX property. My suggestion
is to hide this behind a conditional comment for IE 6 and use some
other method with IE 7.

[WSG] (X)HTML Best Practice Sheet goes live

2007-08-09 Thread Keryx Web
Hello everyone on the mailing lists that I have used to produce my 
(X)HTML Best Practice Sheet!


It is no longer called a cheat sheet, and it has gone live today. 
Check it out at http://keryx.se/resources/html_elements.xhtml and feel 
free to use it or as you please - or improve it!


There are three versions: XHTML, PDF and Open Office. Use whichever you 
prefer. Content-type: application/xhtml+xml and CSS3 selectors are used. 
It may look bad in some browsers and MSIE will choke!


As for accessibility: There are a lot of headers. It might not be easy 
to listen with a screen reader, and I have yet to solve the question 
about sub-section headers in my table.



Lars Gunther


P.S.

It has been tested with Firefox 2 and Opera 9.22

The latter has a peculiar bug: The topleft corner in the table shall 
have no border top or left. Scroll down and the back up and a border 
will hang in the air...)


Safari for Windows does not support the check mark #10003; but renders 
most things OK.


Reason for XHTML: I intend to use some XSLT on this doc further ahead...

Hi Lars,

Thanks for the hard work and time taken to do this. It's appreciated.

May I make one suggestion please? The character reference (#10003;) you're
using for the checkmark symbol does not render in IE6 or below. However, it
does render perfectly in the latest versions of Opera, Firefox, Netscape and
Safari for Windows. IE 6 and below renders it as a plain square box. If you
don't mind this occurring in IE 6 and below, then please ignore my comment.
If it is of importance, then maybe using a plus (+) sign (#043;) or
another cross-browser recognized character reference will do.

Thanks again,

Kind regards,
