RE: [WSG] IE8 news

2008-03-08 Thread Kevin Arrowsmith
I also found IE8 to be very slow, not so much typing in it but rollover
effects on links, even small things like underline text when the mouse goes
over it, also going from one page to another seemed slow. I even managed to
crash it when I went to a windows sharepoint site.

Hey,

I've been watching some of the IE8 conversations. I got it just 
yesterday and tried it. While it may pass the Acid2 test flawlessly (and 
only be a beta) it takes up /masses/ of memory. My computer isn't 
exactly a dinosaur but it still paused whilst trying to type using IE8. 
How powerful a computer is recommended anyway? However considering the 
problems with IE in the past I'd say I can live with that.

[WSG] Navigation menu problem

2008-03-07 Thread Kevin Arrowsmith
 Hi All,

 

Im having a problem getting a menu to look right in IE6, it can be found at
http://darkvirus.homeip.net/~darkness/h2/new/ 

 

IE7 and FF seem fine but IE6 seems to put a margin under each link and I
cant seem to get rid of it (IE8 only seem to change the background colour
when the mouse is over the text or border which I put on earlier).

 

To save you looking through the source the relevant css is

 

#nav

{

float: left;

width: 195px;

margin: 0 0 10px 0;

text-align: center;



}

#nav ul

{

list-style-type: none;

padding: 0;

margin: 10px auto;

background: #f2edf6;

width: 175px;

border: 1px solid #7d50a6;

text-align: left;

}

#nav li

{

font-size: 13px;

padding: 0;

margin: 0;

}

#nav li a

{

display: block;

padding: 5px;

text-decoration: none;

font-weight: bold;

color: #7d50a6;

background: #f2edf6;

margin: 0;

}

#nav li a:hover

{

text-decoration: underline;

background: #dccce9;

}

 

 

PS. Any general comments or recommendations on the site are greatly welcome.

 

 

Thanks

Kevin

Thanks guys,

* html #nav li a {

Solved the IE6 problem and /*/ #nav a {position:relative;} /**/ fixed the
IE8 problem

Thanks

[WSG] Positioning Image problems

2005-11-25 Thread Kevin Arrowsmith








I have to problems at the moment which have me stumped, both
to do with positioning images.



The first is at http://www.carrollwaterservices.co.uk
the kinetico reinventing water image is fine when the site is
initially loaded but when he goes to another page and then comes back to it not
all the image is displayed and he has to refresh the page to get it all, this
is working fine in FF but for some reason IE some of the image is missing. Can
anyone see why this is happening as it has me stumped.



The second problem is at http://www.kevinarrowsmith.co.uk/wol/greenacre.php
the image to the right of the text is positioned fine in 1024*768 and higher
but in 800*600 then space for the image is left but the image itself covers
half the text, does anyone know why this is happening.





Thanks for any help








[WSG] Image rollovers

2005-10-09 Thread Kevin Arrowsmith








Hi guys



Im creating a site which will be using rollovers but
what is the best way to create the rollovers, use _javascript_ or use CSS to
control them.



I have used _javascript_ at the moment but I seem to be having
some problems with firefox and images, firefox seems to put some kind of border
or magin on one side of the image, the website is at http://darkvirus.homeip.net/~darkness/epixel/
if you want to see what I mean, the site works fine in IE though although when I
put the header img in as an img rather than a background both browsers
put some kind or border below the image. 








RE: [WSG] Submenus anyone?

2005-09-02 Thread Kevin Arrowsmith
Hi,

I cant remember where I got it from but I use a xhtml and css based menu
system, an example can be found at 

http://www.kevinarrowsmith.co.uk/menu/menu.htm

It validates to xhtml1.1 and the css validates too, the only thing I did
have to do was to include the javascript just to get it to work in IE, it
works fine without the javascript in most other browsers.

The only problem I did have was aligning it all, I have also had a
horizontal menu bar working, if you want I can find an example

Subject: [WSG] Submenus anyone?

Has anyone got any good examples of submenus that work good and are 
compliant with XHTML 1.0 strict?

I've been using Project 7 menus but I'm finding they are just too difficult 
to sort out all the kinks, plus there has always been the problem that if 
you move the mouse fast enough they don't always close.

I figure there must be better working menus than that. I usually have my 
links change background and foreground colour, so would like that, but would

like the link to stay changed colours while the mouse is hovering over the 
submenu that has appeared, and then to go back to normal when I mouse off 
the submenu and it vanishes.

Thanks,
Stephen

I found it on a site I am currently building for someone, the alignment
isn't 100% in my opinion but it isn't far off but is work in progress.
