Re: [css-d] Trick for centering menu

2010-02-18 Thread Troy Harshman
If your menu is made up of a list that is arranged horizontal using (display:inline), setting (text-align: center) for the footer container should work. Otherwise, using (margin:0 auto) with the menu container is also an option. Although, you may have to give the menu a width value for that to work

[css-d] Table Cells Too Large in Some Versions of Firefox

2010-02-18 Thread absynthe minded web smithes
I'm working on a hybrid table/css layout (legacy code). In some older versions of Firefox (we've seen the error in 3.0.16 and 3.5.7) on Windows XP, some table cells are about three times the height they should be (30px). It looks correct in all versions of IE, and in Chrome, and in FF3.6. On *my* p

It sounds like you should make a separate template for each type of page (one with and one without the menu). CSS is for changing the presentation of markup, it isn't able to test for certain situations and adjust the layout accordingly. Those types of things are for a scripting language like PHP w
