[css-d] Popout box

2011-06-10 Thread Nazish
Hi everyone, I'd like to create a popout box for a list of products in my table. For example, when the user's mouse hovers over a cell, the popout box with more info will display, and the popout box will disappear when the mouse is not hovering on the cell. The Netflix website is a great example

[css-d] Help finding history/discussion on multiple values

I've spent a lot of time searching through the archives, reading through searching online looking for any of the discussions and rationale that led to the multiple comma separated lists values allowed by a few of the modules now like backgrounds and transitions. It raises a lot of questions for

Hi Brian. The problem with CSS commas is that they're not required in all cases. Consider this example: #test { clip: rect(10px, 10px, 10px, 5px); } CSS specs say that for the clip property commas are optional, but some browsers don't allow them to appear between values, meaning that for some

Sorry Gabriel, perhaps I should have been more specific. You example shows commas being used to separate values being passed to a function which resolves a clipping region - this seems pretty standard and intuitive... On the other hand - what I am talking about is modules (like background or

Hi, Just an idea, but might be a bit far fetched: The link you don't want needs to be visible at the start, and then after another link is clicked to disappear. I think that if both links were in a div with a set width and height you could change the CSS for the 'visited' link to increase

I don't see how a cookie changes it a lot... Generally speaking, aren't things visited as long as they are in the cache? Neither one goes across actual browsers (like FF to IE or Chrome)... You'd need a database/login for that kind of guarantee - but I get the impression that he's merely looking

That seems like the logical thing to do but it's actually the opposite of what I want to happen. I want the non visited one to disappear when they return to the page from which they choose. Somehow I can't figure out how to do that. ---Fabienne On 6/10/2011 2:37 PM, Brian Kardell wrote:

Brian has made a good point, a link on the right would expand out of view, even if it was the one you want to remain. However he's indicated using z-index too which with the right CSS tweeks could hide the unwanted link out of sight. On 11/06/2011, at 2:54 AM, Brian Kardell wrote: Oh I
