Re: [WSG] your best practise for CSS sprites for elements that have no height declared
There is an issue where a PNG will not look exactly the same in IE vrs FF So if you try to match a background with the PNG you may have issues between the browsers having said that I love PNGs myself On Tue, Nov 25, 2008 at 9:06 AM, Foskett, Mike [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Sorry Brett, you're wrong.

RE: [WSG] your best practise for CSS sprites for elements that have no height declared
Sorry Mike I do not have an example at the moment - just remember past headaches with it - apparently there is a solution http://hsivonen.iki.fi/png-gamma/ per a previous email on this thread - you can google the issue I'm sure Neal There is an issue where a PNG will not look exactly the same in IE vrs FF Never come across that, have you a reference or example? I have come across something similar with Safari and Photoshop images not blending. But it wasn't png related it was a gamma setting in Photoshop. Brett: PNGgauntlet is freeware: http://brh.numbera.com/software/pnggauntlet/ As is PNGcrush: http://pmt.sourceforge.net/pngcrush/ If you're not using a decent compressor then png's are 15% - 20% oversized. I'll have to agree to disagree with you on gif file-size being smaller.

Re: [WSG] A Question of Semantics
The Something: is a different font size, and kind of a header for the list. It seems you answered your own question something should be a header (h.x tag) look at the footer on sites like linkedin.com - very common approach Neal Hello, I have a small semantic problem that I can't make up my mind about. Basically, I have a list like this: I can't decide if I should just do a paragraph with Something strong or in a span, or if I should do a header and then the text in a paragraph, with some CSS to make it look properly, or if I should make it some kind of definition or other list. What do you think?

Re: [WSG] Controlling the li gap?
Use padding
example:
ul li {padding-left: 5px;}
that should helpcan use negative amounts
Quoting Janelle Clemens [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
Is there anyway to control the space between the bullet and text of an li?
Our designer is having issues with this and since I am in charge of creating
the templates I need to find a workaround.
Thanks,

Re: [WSG] Generated Content
So what I understand from your tutorial Moose, and from my own
experimenting, is that simple content can be displayed in Mozilla, eg.
img:after {content: attr(alt)} but anything complex, including counters
doesn't appear (anyone got a hack?) From literarymoose though it appears
that Opera does display the generated content.

I'm wondering if anyone out there can point me to an article or

counters to add numbering to headings in web-versions of some
technical documents.
Allo,
See here:

3 pages full of generated content. Enjoy!

p.s. IE will see nothing, hear nothing... so it's safe to use GC.
