Cheers everyone!

This is how the menu should look (this was from IE, even IE gets it

AS you can see, beneath CHAT ROOMS and BROWSE A-Z there is a

Hi Chris,

Try border-collapse : collapse in your ul declaration.

Re: [WSG] FF Bug - Any Fixes?

2005-06-19 Thread Terrence Wood
The rounding area can usually be fixed by adjusting your font-size 
and/or line height, on the parent element and the cascade through your 
list elements. The solution really is just a matter of tweaking each 
until it is eliminated -- use the computed style section the FF dom 
inspector and try to get everything resolving to whole pixels.

Terrence Wood.

nothing with white-space, all with TWIPS.

Note that I don't see any problem running Firefox 1.0+ latest nightly 
build, at any zooming factor.

Re: [WSG] FF Bug - Any Fixes?

2005-06-18 Thread Chris Stratford

Ahh Philippe,
Thanks for those links - and I see that you are the man who came up with 
the diagnosis for this problem.


I still see the errors - should I use Absolute values (px, not em) to 
define my margin/padding on those lists?

Would that fix the problem?

Thanks!

I guess using px for padding/margin/border will improve the situation, 
as does using line-height:normal on the li (?, not sure in your case, 
could be on the a). You might still see some rounding errors, due to 
the font-size, if the computed value is not a round number. Those two 
fixes will minimise the problem however.


Using a background-image to simulate your border, instead of using the 
border-property, is another fix that has been mentioned on CSS-D once.


As I said, I don't see the problem at all on my nightly build at 
various zoom levels. Lots of work has gone in some of those rendering 
issues (rounding errors).

It's hard to test the rounding error in all OS, text zoom level, and 
different dpi-settings. Yes, px-fixed lenghts and offsets might fix the 
em-based rounding problem of overlaps and gaps in FF = 1.04


Andy Budd once posted this workaround to css-d
http://www.message.uk.com/test/nav/
maybe worth a try.
