[css-d] display:none or visibility:collapse to hide table columns?

2006-05-05 Thread Lori Hylan-Cho
hi all I was going through the bug reports on the Wiki, and I noticed this one [http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=FirefoxBugs] about Firefox not respecting display:none on table columns. The bug indicates that IE6 gets it right by hiding the column in question. However, the CSS2.1 spec

For anyone who's interested, I put up a test page with screenshots There is no test case there, only screen shots. Sorry for the confusing terminology; I didn't mean that the page had a test case. (I'm trying to compare different browser renderings for a project I'm working on, so

IMHO, the bug filer's conclusion is backwards; it seems totally logical to me that setting a top margin on the clear that's larger than the size of the floats would in effect result in a margin of [margin as set] - [height of float]. For anyone who's interested, I put up a test page with

[css-d] clear: both + negative margin -- should it do anything?

2006-02-01 Thread Lori Hylan-Cho
I'm looking at a bug report[1] regarding margins and clears, and I'm wondering if it's really a bug at all. Since the spec says that when clear is applied, the top margin of the generated box is increased enough that the top border edge is below the bottom outer edge of any [left|right] floating

The way the spec puts it, it sounds like doing a clear basically gives the box a top margin auto equal to the height of the box it's clearing. Changing that margin to -1px seems like you would be taking away the top margin, and thus would be counter intuitive? Yeah, that's what I was

[css-d] variation on the Expanding Box Problem?

2006-01-27 Thread Lori Hylan-Cho
I'm looking at a case where the rendering differs between IE and Firefox/Opera (all on Win at the moment), and I'm trying to determine whether it's (a) a bug in IE, (b) a bug in FF/Opera, (c) a perfectly reasonable (but different) reading of the spec, or (d) something else. It seems very similar

Thoughts on what's happening here, and ways to work around it? Is setting a width on the div the only way to get the browsers to match? Zoe wrote: Which one do you want to change -- FF or IE? I guess I was imagining that if one browser was obviously getting it wrong, that's the one I'd

Re: [css-d] What css will DreamWeaver display?

Having said that though, I do see some value in knowing whether a given rendering engine even begins to support a given feature or not This is especially true given that your friend is trying to create a Dreamweaver extension -- viewing the extension in a browser is totally irrelevant.

I went in to DW8 and under the Preferences you can set the CODE FORMAT properties. Hi Cory This is pretty far off-topic for this list and would probably be better discussed in a Dreamweaver forum (see http://www.macromedia.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/index.cfm?forumid=12). Having said
