[css-d] Float doesn't shrink fit content under Safari - any workarounds?

2008-06-10 Thread Timothy Armes
Hi, I'm struggling with a Safari float shrinking problem and I'm desperately seeking a solution. I've spent days on the issue now. I have a floated container containing floated fixed sized divs. On FF the container shrinks to fit the contents, as is correct for a widthless float. In Safari

Once line breaks are determined you would like to have a sort of extra step to fit the placed contents. This 'extra fit' (not required by the spec) is done by Opera (and by FF2), and it would indeed be sometimes desirable, but I don't know how to get it with current CSS. Thanks, I now

Hi Bill, To add to what Bruno has already put forward, you might also consider taking another look at your code. It's incredibly difficult to fix a CSS problem with invalid code. You've written your code in XHTML Transitional, which is more for migrating old sites and documents than for the

Hi Is it possible to display a unordered list inline, have a hyperlink fill the full size of the LI element and force the LI element to have a fixed dimension using XHTML? It works if I just let it fall back to QUIRKSMODE but obviously I don't want that =) I'm trying to make six LI elements

You said just markup and CSS, but honestly this sounds more like a table with many of the cells spanning multiple columns and perhaps a narrow vertical background image used as the vertical line. Conjurer wrote: I need to redo a organization chart that is a graphic and therefore not

I would agree with an image for the kind of char you want, but don't toss out the idea of reworking the chart to take better advantage of HTML elements and CSS, such as a hierarchical OL - you could have a class=levelN (where N is the level, 0, 1, 2, etc) and each class could have a set indent
