I hope that someone will have a suggestion for me. Brace yourself... I actually think that this could be argued to be a legitimate use of tables to display tabular data. It's certainly not tabular data in the tradition spreadsheet sense, but it is data that corresponds to other data arranged

Re: [css-d] public websites with faulty CSS-s

There's always the Acid 2 test. It looks the same in all the major browsers now, but in IE6 and 7 it's a pretty stellar disaster. The other thing to check is if MS makes the Compatibility View list public. If it does, that would give you a list of sites that look good in IE7 that don't look

Re: [css-d] Synchronized paragraphs in adjacent columns

This may be a crazy suggestion, but in my mind a definition list (dl, dt, dd) wouldn't be out of the question You'd either have to avoid paragraph tags, etc, or damn the standards. I had the same thought, but decided not to damn the standards. So I suggested the paragraph solution instead.

Re: [css-d] Navigation

Thanks Troy and Tim, the navigation is now up against the top of the page, but now it is on the wrong side. I have floated both the navigation and logo left but it is showing the logo on the right not on the left-why is that?: http://www.copywritecolombia.com/mediabuying.htm You missed my

Re: [css-d] Fraction bar

I took Alan's sample and expanded on it to provide a horizontal line. I haven't extensively tested it but it works well for me on FF3.5. It does look good in FF3.5. But it doesn't look nearly as nice in any other browser. The spacing between the numbers and the bar is too big in everything

Re: [css-d] strange problem with float

However, in IE6 (haven't tried ealier versions), the right sidebar (localsidebarpanel) is off in never land and its color is completely wrong and can't be changed (weird!). I tested with IE 7 and 8 based on output from http://ipinfo.info/netrenderer/ and the layout is even worse, and still same

Re: [css-d] strange problem with float

Not sure yet what the fix is. Or, if you know of a free CSS exploration tool *for IE* like the (awesome!) javascript console that comes with Chrome, I could try using such a tool to figure it out. Well, there's the IE Developer toolbar. It's only good for IE7 (although IE8 comes with it built

Re: [css-d] u/u - why did it have to die?

A reply that went to me, but probably should have gone to the entire list, or at least the OP... [my lengthy reply on semantic markup] Another reason is that usability-wise, only something that is a link is supposed to be underlined on the web. For a bibliographic reference, perhaps

Re: [css-d] font-size smaller on IE 8 [error correction]

Adventuring on the EM land surely deserves quite of organization on the font side of things. I will pay better attention on the future (so I believe). Yes it does, sort of. Font size shouldn't vary too much on a page though. tons of different font sizes tend to make things messy and hard to

Re: [css-d] NOT restarting numbered lists after h1 element

After inserting the h1 I find I cannot continue with my second list item as 2; the list starts over at 1. Can I do that using CSS? I've got the other sub-items to style correctly using CSS, so this is my only problem. There's two answers: There is the start attribute of ol (ol start=2) which
