[WSG] Width / min-width and max-width
Just a quick qustion. Can you use width, min-width and max-width at
the same time?
Here is the code:
#test {
width:774px;
min-width: 774px;
max-width: 999px;
}
#test element will be 774px, but should expand to 999px if the screen size
is bigger. Any comments.
Thanks Jacobus

[WSG] Max / min-width issue IE6
Any ideas,
I have the following css:
#testdiv {
min-width: 800px !important;
max-width: 1024px !important;
border: 1px solid red;
margin: 0 auto;
text-align:right;
}
Firefox does 100% what it's suppose to do. It gives the #testdiv a min-width
of 800px, so we are ok for 800x600 screens. And it gives a max-width of
1024px for bigger screens. IE 6.0 is not playing nicely ;). Any ideas to
overcome this issue in IE.
Here is just a few thoughts:
1. use a space gif after the footer.
2. use JavaScript to read width of screen and update css accord.
3. use inline css and server-side code to update the inline css.
Any more comment? Thanks in advance.

WORK-A-ROUND: [WSG] Max / min-width issue IE6
Just did a bit more testing and found this css to do the job for me! I think
this is a ok solution to use, since the css code is only for IE.
* html #cont {
/* IE Dynamic Expression to set the width */
width:expression(document.body.clientWidth = 1024 ? 800px : 1024px
);
border: 1px solid green;
}
If anybody have any other ideas please do send them.

Good Day everyone: I have been doing the annual maintenance/update of a Holiday Home letting site I've had for a few years, so this year I attempted to convert it all to standards. It is now XHTML1 /CSS and most of it validates. (I say most because there is a bit of Flash and some of it uses frames). I have kept a couple of 'naughty' tables (as yet) because I simply haven't managed to convert to a stable/reliable alternative, but overall I was quite pleased with it. Anyway, as I had recently installed Firefox on the PC's in the office of this holiday business, I decided to show the owner how wonderful the update was [ :-) ]. I explained about standards to this (non-technical) person and, using Firefox developer's toolbar, I showed her the abysmal results of validating the sites of her competitors, and she was obviously pleased. She seemed to understand the basis of 'standards', but after a few minutes reflection she said: I can appreciate that I am getting a 'quality' product, but from a practical point of view, what am I getting that improves my business? As far as visitors to my site are concerned there seems to be no advantage - after all, my competitor's sites may well be outdated, but they do actually WORK, so my customers don't see any benefit. Thought I'd pass this on . . . :-) Bob McClelland, Cornwall (U.K.) www.gwelanmor-internet.co.uk ** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list getting help ** -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

[WSG] CSS / JavaScript Problem
Anybody have a solution for the following:
I have a default style for a element:
#s1 {height: 215px;}
In some of the pages I need to update this value to auto, and I use
!important setting to enforce this, via a updates.css file:
#s1 {height: auto !important;}
Now here is the problem:
I now have to look at 2 elements, via JavaScript, in the doc, check which
has the highest high value and assign that value to both elements. No matter
what value I assign to both elements, the previous !important setting
overrides the new values.
Is there any way I can override the !important setting via JavaScript?
I need a solution quite urgent, and will keep digging into this myself, but
if anybody knows how, I would really appreciate this.
Thanks in advance!

[WSG] Zero margin - just sharing
Hi all,
I know a lot of people use this:
* {
margin:0;
padding:0;
}
To help reduce code and eliminate lots of those strange default margins
issues.
Don't think this has been mentioned anywhere yet, but one issue I found with
this, was that within dropdowns the downarrow GUI, covers some of the text
on the right. Here is the fix for that:
option {
padding-right:1em;
}
