Re: [WSG] Standards way of getting div background color?
Use window.getComputedStyle for standard-compliant browsers and element.currentStyle for IE. https://developer.mozilla.org/en/DOM/window.getComputedStyle http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms535231(VS.85).aspx On Thu, Nov 27, 2008 at 12:06, Dennis Suitters [EMAIL PROTECTED]wrote: Dunno, if this has been asked before.

Re: [WSG] Forcing a vertical scrollbar in Firefox 3
You should try html { overflow-y: scroll; } On Fri, Jun 20, 2008 at 16:53, Mark Voss [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I've always used: html{min-height:100.1%;} to force a vertical scroll-bar in Firefox for fixed width sites that are centred in the browser window - it stops them jumping sideways when you navigate between pages that are longer and shorter than the viewport. With the release of Firefox 3 however, I've found that this no longer works and I need to increase the minimum height percentage slightly: html{min-height:100.2%;} does the trick! _ Regards, Mark Voss *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *** -- Алексей *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ***
Re: [WSG] Background-position in percentage
On Wed, Jun 4, 2008 at 8:01 AM, John Horner [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I've just spent a bit of time looking at how background-position works when expressed as a percentage: background-position: 90%; and I'm wondering why it works the way it does. Here's the best way I can describe the effect of (90%, x-axis) positioning with percentages: to position the image such that the point 90% across the image is aligned with the point 90% across the element. Have you read specs? http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/colors.html#propdef-background-position There's something rather counter-intuitive about that (it's even hard to describe!), and I've tried to explain it in teaching people about CSS and found that people are rather baffled by it. Does anyone know why it was created that way, and/or can you tell me if there's some very useful thing this rule allows you to do? That is, as opposed to a simpler rule like image is offset that amount to the left which is what I assumed when I first came across it. Can you provide other way to align right edge of background image with right edge of box? To center background image? -- Алексей *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ***
Re: [WSG] Client cannot view website
I'm can't see content in IE6 too. Adding position:relative to #sidebar and #main fixes the problem.

He does not seem very computer literate. He says he can see the first bit ( header and the navigation bar underneath the header), but below is just a green blank page. I can see nothing wrong with the site which has been up for ages and am thinking it is his computer though I have no idea what could be wrong. He uses IE. Is there anything I can get him to check..
