[WSG] IE min-width problem
Hi Folks, I've been working on a site which has three columns which unfortunately need full height backgrounds, some have rounded corners and... well it's been tricky but it's all working ok... except that due to the fact that IE doesn't accept min-width, it becomes quick ugly in IE when the window is resized... You can look at the beta site at http://dev.papercutmedia.com/perthjazz/ The CSS isn't to messy, but the XHTML does contain a few "spare" divs to enable the various background pics to get the "look" right ( boy am I looking forward to CSS3 with multiple background images for single elements!) and I'm getting the feeling I've looked at it too long and am not seeingsomething obvious... Any pearls of wisdom that can be offered would be graciously recieved. Tania
Re: [WSG] Text Escaping from Floats
There is a height set on the .floatleft class of 240px on the page you listed in your msg.

There is no height set - so how is that constraining the box? I think you have two choices: add overflow : hidden|auto (will hide or scroll excess content) Scrollbars will destroy the aesthetic, so overflow auto is out. Hiding overflow prevents users from seeing the content, so again that's out. remove the height attribute and control height some other way. Finding other ways to increase the height is exactly what I'm trying to do ;p This is the first time I've coded something that doesn't work in Firefox, but works how I want in IE. It's extremely frustrating. Good Luck.

[WSG] height bug in Safari... any ideas?
Hi All, I've been working on a site which needs a background graphic centred in the viewport but with two different colours on the right left... I managed to get most of it working by setting a background image colour for the body which efectively give one colour one side and another the other side... I then set up a div for the main background image, but I'm having problems with getting Safari to display it properly... The designer wanted the background image to show on larger screens if possible, and while it involved some tweaking to get the various browsers to accept the 100% height, and it's working on win 6 Moz, IE Mac 5.2 etc, but I'm having problems in Safari. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. dev.papercutmedia.com/horabin Tania ** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list getting help **
SOLVED: [WSG] height bug in Safari... any ideas?
Sorry for wasting folks time. After looking at it for ages, I attacked it from a completely differnt angle and it's working ok now (I get some extra height on IE mac but that is bearable).

Re: [WSG] Positioning in IE6
Hey there, I had a look at the page css and oddly enough I think the problem is that some of the css was confusing Moz more than IE. The prob seems to be a combination of the#homenav IDand some margins in "#homenav ul" "#homenav ul li". I changed the absolute positioning of the "#homenav div" to 116px and specified all the margins in the "#homenav ul" class (from "margin-left: 5px;" to "margin: 0 0 0 5px ;" and the page seemed to work OK in both IE Moz. I think by not specifying the margin or line height each browser was guessing where the ul should start and that was the underlying problem.
