[css-d] Best IR technique ?
Hi all, could someone advise the best/safest Image Replacement (IR) technique to use: cross browser friendly, screen reader accessible. Seems the classic Todd Fahrner method is not catched safely by all screen readers and just fails if the server never sends the image. Another method suggests to use text-indent:-999em, but causes problems with Ie 5 Win wich will also indent the background-image. A last method suggested by Pixy uses z-index and absolute positioning to cover the text with the replacing image. Is this last method safe and the best one ? Any other IR tricks to mention/point ?

table the height of the screen, a really useful feature. This isn't
available in standards mode, and there is *no* equivalent in a
tableless design.
Why is there a need to supply a fixed value height at some point in
the hierarchy - why not just take the hight of the body as the fixed
value? (And, it certainly doesn't work to specify html, body {
height: 100% } - that's just silly - since when should the html tag
need a height?)
Does anyone know the spec authors reasoning behind not making this
possible without javascript? Isn't it considered bad form to use
anything other than CSS to format the output?
It seems to me to a big a hole in the spec.

Re: [css-d] Simple two columns
From: Stevio [EMAIL PROTECTED]
It seems like the simplest solution is the following:
.col1 {
width: 50%;
float: left;
}
.col2 {
width: 50%;
float: left;
}
div class=col1Content/div
div class=col2Content/div
How do I stop col2 wrapping below col1 however when the browser window is
shrunk down in size? (Has to work in IE).
Set the widths to less than 50% to accomplish this, perhaps 49% each. Be aware
that if you add margins, padding or borders to the column div elements, you may
need to make the percentage you use for the width smaller to keep the second
column from wrapping.
Hope that helps,

Ok, I'll throw it open to the CSS experts. Two divs:
divHeader/div
divlots of content/div
The requirement is that the header div must not scroll off the page,
it should remain fixed at the top of the page. The content div will
fill with content and should be scrollable vertically when needed.
Constraining that contents div to the available viewport is the issue
(and having it resize with the viewport) - if this is possible in a
standards compliant way using only CSS I would be very thankful (and
mightily impressed as I don't think it's possible).

Method one basically recreates a frame set without the frame
markup. It goes something like this:
html, body {height: 100%;}
#header, #content {position: fixed;}
#header {top: 0; left: 0; right: 0; height: 50px;}
#content {top: 50px; bottom: 0; left: 0; right: 0;
overflow: scroll;}
You could, of course, replace the '50px' values with a different one,
using any unit you like, including percentages.
Method two nails the header to the top of the viewport, and lets
the rest of the content scroll underneath it.
#header {position: fixed; top: 0; left: 0; right: 0; height: 50px;}
#content {padding-top: 50px;}
Again, you're free to replace the '50px' with something else.
The problem with both methods is IE/Win, which doesn't support
'fixed' on 'position', so the effect wont' be what you want. There
are JS and behavioral solutions to fake support for 'position: fixed'
in IE/Win, such as Dean Edwards' IE7, but I find them to be largely
unsatisfactory because the element scrolls around and then jumps into
place.
An adapted approach is to have IE/Win absolutely position the
header and just accept that it will scroll in IE/Win while remaining
in place for all other modern browsers. That would be:
#header {position: fixed; top: 0; left: 0; right: 0; height: 50px;}
* html #header {position: absolute;} /* for IE/Win */
#content {padding-top: 50px;}
Hopefully one of those solutions will work for you.

Ahhh I take it all back - method one is exactly what I was after. I
see now why the hole is in IE not supporting fixed and not in the spec
(I was approaching the problem from the wrong end).
One point - is possible to only have the vertical scrollbar and not
the horizontal? (overflow-y in IE)

}
Should fix the problem... you forgot to remove margins on the ul.
Another problem, though, is that different default font sizes on
windows IE/Opera force the horizontal menu onto two lines (on my

[css-d] replacing image map links with css
A friend has an image map that has certain hot spots that when pointed to, display some text and link to another page. This is done with javascript and sliced images. I was thinking this can be done with a background image and some links which are positioned relative to the container. He wants it to be a sort of 'mystery-meat' navigation.

Re: [css-d] Simple two columns
Rob, to be honest, that is the solution I have gone for after much messing about trying various suggested solutions. Trying to do simple columns in css is just too complicated (perhaps why there are oodles of pages on the net about finding perfect column solutions). The table solution is so much more reliable, robust, doesn't break, and does what it says on the tin. You don't have to worry about clearing problems either (which I was having because I had floated both columns but I also had a left floated navigation div to the left of that) or wrapping problems. Someone remind me what is wrong with doing this? I mean, floating divs to make columns is not actually what they are meant for anyway is it? In which case we are using them for the wrong purpose, which is exactly what the criticism of tables is. Apologies if this comes over as a rant or upsets anyone. I am still using floated divs for design don't worry, but I think that there are times when tables for layout is still the best way to go.

As a programmer, I *do* want to do things properly, but sometimes the correct way is way more painful than it should be.

Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can do iron out these problems? Step 1 should be to remove the html and css errors. http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1uri=http%3A// www.lessstressdoctor.com/test/bio.html http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator? profile=css2warning=2uri=http%3A//www.lessstressdoctor.com/test/ bio.html Step 2 should be to remove the css that is not actually used on the site. When you strip it down to the essentials, the problems will be easier to find and fix. hth Roger, Roger Roelofs Remember, if you’re headed in the wrong direction, God allows U-turns! ~Allison Gappa Bottke __ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/

It's outlined in red and currently says August 29, 2005. This is a span set within the div that contains the blue tabs. The div is text-align: left and fills the width of its parent. I'd like to center the date in the remaining 19px by 160px blue space to the right of the last tab. It refuses to be 160px wide or 19px tall. Making it a div pushes it below the tabs. The date is in a span, which is an 'inline' element by default. It will not obey the width or height box properties. The simplest approach that comes to mind is use the text properties 'vertical-align: top; line-height: 1.4' Tweak the line-height to alter the vertical position. hth Roger, Roger Roelofs Remember, if you’re headed in the wrong direction, God allows U-turns! ~Allison Gappa Bottke __ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/

Re: [css-d] Validation Error -moz-outline
Hi, I'm getting rid of the ugly outline that appears on an image when it's used as a link. It doesn't seem to be set to default, as when I don't set -moz-outline I get the ugly borders when I click the links.

Re: [css-d] Validation Error -moz-outline
Hi Philippe,
Will do, thanks.
As Zoe pointed out, it isn't causing a problem in browsers so I'm not
going to worry about it too much...
Cheers, and thanks to all who responded.
Tracy

BTW, you're better off by first specifying the vendor-specific
property, and then the official one; vendor specific stuff could be
processed slightly differently. In Tracy's case, apply it this way:
#footer img { vertical-align: middle; -moz-outline:none; outline:
none;}
As a side note, DeerPark (and the upcoming Firefox 1.5) fully
supports the official 'outline' property. And it supports the CSS3
'outline-offset' property.

Joshua,
You could try to put #date *before* your navigation bar in the markup and
then float it right, like this:
#date {float:right;width:155px;text-align:center;
font-size:.9em;color:#fff;line-height:19px}

That ugly outline is actually a border, not an outline. Try this:
a img {border-width: 0}
