Re: [WSG] Font-size em and reseting within [using keywords]
After reading a well-known css author's statement in his brand-new book that keywords worked best for him, I just went the keyword way (including the Tan hack for Windows/IE) using small as the base font, with all the rest specified in %. (http://www.birchhillaccommodations.com/) Got comments from Windows/IE users that the text was too small, and that small was too small as a base font, in that, at their largest zoom, they still felt the text was too, well small. Will I get the same response if I change over to % for body font (and ems for the rest) and it's anything *but* 100.01%? (F'rinstance, the aforementioned 90.1%?) Wendy Buddy Quaid wrote: ...

Sorry - I should have said I use DW MX - we're still on NT here and MX 2004 doesn't run on it. 2004 will have more accessibility and standards support options that plain MX. As Scott says, you can work in code view, design view, split - whatever you like. I'm in and out of all of them all day long. MX has some CSS display problems inside design view, which 2004 is supposed to have overcome somewhat, but as we work with style sheets that are as familiar as the proverbial back of hand, this is no biggy.

RE: [WSG] css from photoshop file?
I've actually nearly always designed new sites or templates from my graphics file - whether that's fireworks or photopaint. To me, there's no difference in the two methods but designing your layout visually in the first instance gives you the best idea as to how the finished product will more or less look and you can easily move things around, change colors etc until you are happy with it. It's when the design is curvy or you need to slice images that things can get fiddly. The trick is to design from the start with the method of ultimate output in mind - I've had to convert other people's graphics to layouts in the past and because they had no idea as to how a page is 'built' it was much harder and some elements had to be sacrificed or changed.

RE: [WSG] Scrollbars in IE6 (PC)
IE6 has a bug with frames and scrollbars when the page contains an XHTML doctype
declaration. If the content causes vertical scrollbars, IE thinks that the width of
the scrollbar must be included in the overall width of the page and produces
horizontal scrollbars when they are not necessary. The only way around this is to set
scrolling=yes in the frameset, and not auto. You end up with ghost vertical scrollbars
but there is no solution to this that I have found.
If you have an XML prologue inserted, this doesn't happen - Unfortunately, another bug
in Internet Explorer is affected by anything that appears before the DOCTYPE and the
browser is then sent into Quirks Mode. The ?xml prolog causes IE to miss the DOCTYPE
declaration and therefore renders the page in a non-standards compliant way. Luckily,
the prolog is not mandatory and can be removed and you are stuck with the first
solution.
I'm not interested in an anti frame discussion however I also use frames for internal
online modules - they really don't pose as many accessibility problems as you might
think once you institute a few things:
- correct titling and naming of frames
- correct titling of each page
- skip links to main content
- no frames content that goes to the content pages which have navigation to go from
page to page and no need of the frames
- next and back buttons go straight to named anchors to the main content
- print button to print only the frame content and a print stylesheet to format this
for print
- logical tabbing order
- I did have access keys but I weighed up the arguments for and against and removed
them
(Assistive technologies determine the content in each frame and present the user with
a list of the frames, enabling them to select the content they wish to access,
supplementing the use of a skip link.
It is therefore important to use meaningful frame names in the frameset page and
titles as the individual page titles - different technologies use either of these. It
is easy to neglect page titles in framesets, as the page title normally displayed in
the browser is that of the frameset page itself.)

Subject: [WSG] Scrollbars in IE6 (PC)
Hi everybody...
I'm having a terrible time trying to figure out just why IE6 (Windows
XP) is throwing scrollbars at me when I view a page in a frame - I'm
really not sure what the trick is to this (if there is one). I hate to
ask dumb or redundant questions, but this one is really nagging.
Thanks for any advice on this...v
Once again, this is being view in a frame...here is the gist of the CSS:
body {
margin: 0px;
}
.container {
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
width: 100%;
}
.subhead1 {
margin: 0px;
padding: 6px 0px 0px 12px;
}
.subhead2 {
margin: 0px;
padding: 3px 12px 1px;
height: 30px;
border-bottom: 1px solid #99;
}
.content {
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
width: 100%;
}
.content-pad {
padding: 0px;
margin: 12px;
}
etc...
The makeup of the file...
div class='container'
div class='subhead1'Just some title text/div
div class='subhead2'
A table at width='100%'...
/div
div class='content'
div class='content-pad'
div class='column'
Lots of things go in here, it varies. Some times a table at
width='100%'
/div
/div
/div
/div

I believe I have solved it - I think it's an IE Box model problem and may be isolated

I specified a width (100%) for the UL and it's spot on now (running in non-quirks

There is a gaining movement around to start phasing out IE6 support - look at 37signals, I think they begin IE6 phase out this week or next. They've done their maths and taken a gamble. Hopefully it'll spark something. [snip...] In the end, do you want to spend hours developing hacks for IE6 or just nicely push people into an upgrade path? OT and not much to do with IE6 .png solutions but instead, the ongoing support of IE6 aspect of this thread. I was advised by a lesser Microsoft management bot that many corporate organisations have a 'latest minus one' policy, which means only running up to the previous version of any current browser. This will hopefully mean that when IE8 is fully released many corporate techs will then upgrade to IE7, ideally resulting in a bulk upgrade of the costly IE6. I hope this has some truth. *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *** *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ***
