Re: [WSG] print css crashing ie6

Re: [WSG] Mac IE 5.2 and horizontally presented lis
I'm running into a problem with the presentation of my primary navigation in Mac IE 5.2. [..] http://www.capstrat.com/development/cs2004/template4.html First, try to use div#navigation ul instead of div#nav-primary ul, if that's what you want to control (at least it becomes much easier to read that way ;) and try to indent your code approprietly. Second, I think that your main problem is the lack of a width attribute to your floats. Also IE5/Mac prefer floated items instead of inlined, but that may vary. Try this first and come back if you still encounter problems. cheers, /Anton -- What your body lacks, your head compensates. * The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list getting help *
Re: [WSG] small gap
I'm sorry to ask this question but I've been looking at this page for too long and I can't see why there is a small gap between the top nav and the content. I think it's due to the padding-bottom in the #current selector. Try to apply the padding to the links just once, then add current-specific stuff (like color:white) cheers, /Anton -- What your body lacks, your head compensates. * The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list getting help *

Re: [WSG] Problems in Mac IE 5.2
Could someone please tell me if I need some special hack for Mac IE or if there is a solution at all? I think I know the answer to this one (as I just spend hours on the same type of IE5/Mac dilemma). There seems to be a bug in IE5/Mac involving inherited clearing (in lack of a better term for it). So, your clear: both on #container messes things up for all floats inside it. Get rid of the clear on the #container div and try to 1) make your menu as exact height-wise as you can (so you don't need it) or 2) add another kind of clearer before it. Hope that helps. /Anton -- What your body lacks, your head compensates. * The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list getting help *
Re: [WSG] Dodging CSS Hacks Tutorial
http://web.theward.net/dodgingcsshacks.html Technically, Trident has got little (or nothing?) to do with CSS parsing. I found a post from liorean at css-d explaining this: Just as a note, Trident is the rendering engine of ie/w. It is not the XML, the HTML/tagsoup or the CSS parsing engine; nor is it the scripting engine or external parsing system. It is the rendering engine, outsourcing the parsing and foreign object handling to other systems or engines. It seems that Trident has been roughtly the same since ie4, with the changes taking place mostly in the other engines, Trident only changing when really required to, in order to be able to render what it is handed from the others. Further info about Trident is way beyond my skills and, perhaps, beyond the goal of what you're trying to say with your web page :] - I just found it interesting and it could help in correcting erroneous info/rumors about what Trident is/is not. cheers, /Anton -- What your body lacks, your head compensates. * The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ *

[WSG] Site check: Listamatic entry (to-be)
Hi all, Got some ideas I just had to try: - How about using the Listamatic #current list item as a visial identifier, placed elsewhere in the document? - Can one create a nice-looking :hover effect with letter-spacing when using floats, since text is not centered? I put it together at: http://standardice.com/experimental/separatecurrent.html ...but I haven't tested in anything more than IE5/Mac or Mozilla 1.2.1 yet. Could someone please email me an IE/Win report of some kind?

[WSG] HTML 4.01 vs XHTML 1.0 ?
Hi all, What do you think about this read: http://hixie.ch/advocacy/xhtml ? /Anton -- What your body lacks, your head compensates. * The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ *
RE: [WSG]Forms and definition lists
I would rebut with this: the HTML 4.01 specification says that a dl could be used for pairings other than definitions, citing a script (character/speech pair) as an example. Well, yes. But I could understand that if e.g. the e-mail address field had a specified value that told me what my e-mail address was. In real life though, I define this as I want which makes the definition very loose. In fact, I could fill in Hamlet's e-mail, or his Actor's mother's (to use the theatre metaphore) - that doesn't define Your E-mail: very much, IMHO, since it's up to you to tell the truth or not.. my .02¤ /Anton -- What your body lacks, your head compensates. * The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ *
Re: [WSG]Targetting CSS at IE 5 and 5.5 only
One thing I did notice about your browser targeting was that it picks Konqueror as Mozilla - I think that was with 3.1.4 and 3.2 alpha which includes lots of the Safari fixes. Yeah, at the moment I've renamed that column to Moz/KHTML since I don't know of any (validating) hacks that filter these three out. Maybe I could use a Mozilla-only thingie but there are IMO very few occasions one need to distinguich between at least Moz and Safari renderings (I know one[1] though ;), so maybe a Konqueror column (for older versions than 3.2) would be appropriate? But then again, the Konq folks upgrade their stuff veery often, it seems to me.. I guess this is one reason I started adding a version number to that page ;) /Anton [1] http://standardice.com/experimental/test.html -- What your body lacks, your head compensates. * The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ *
