 To run IE in Linux, you might consider running windows in vmware
 player (http://www.vmware.com/products/player/) or some sort of
 virtual machine.  I've also heard that people have gotten IE to run in
 wine (http://www.winehq.org/).

I use IE6 under WINE; using WineTools to install IE and 
commonly-required Windows system software in WINE makes it work fine. Or 
you can use Win4Lin to install and run under Linux any copy of Windows 
(including XP!) that you might own.

Re: [css-d] Suckerfish validation issues

2006-01-16 Thread Thomas Peklak
 I can't seem to get suckerfish to validate - which is keeping it

Maybe you should first try to get a valid page. The validator at the
w3c, tells you exactly what you are not allowed to do:
http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1uri=http://nglcc.orchidsuites.net/

If the page still does not work after fixing all this problems (108
errors), you can make a repost to the list. It is hard for us to give
any advice, as long as your page does not contain valid code.

Greets,

[css-d] Positioning Help Please

Please look at this layout -

This is about what I am after except I'd like to be able to absolutely
position elements inside the header, footer, and columns. It seems that when
I attempt this though the elements I specify as position:absolute; do not
position in the parent element properly. Also would it be difficult to set
this to a fixed width layout of 780px and centered horizontally? Thanks for
any help.

[css-d] Unwanted horizontal scroll bar on liquid layout

Hi
I have designed a simple two column liquid layout using % widths and Sliding

Advice as to why this is happening and any solutions would be much appreciated.

It's one of those issues which need a second pair of eyes.

Scroll down, to where you first call your stylesheet:

link rel=stylesheet type=text/css 
href=http://orchidsuites.net/orchid/styles/democratic-1.css; /

style type=text/css
!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC -//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN

meta name=description content= /
meta name=keywords content= /
meta name=ROBOTS content=ALL /

titleWelcome to our site!/title 



Note, that you have pasted (I'm assuming), the DTD and some meta 
elements again into an area which you have defined as being a text/css area.

Look at your code again, move your CSS to a separate CSS file - two CSS 
files even if you need to, see if it's possible to move the page towards 
either HTML 4.01 Strict, or to xHTML 1.0 Strict, remove the non-semantic 
tables, as far as your developmental time and budget will allow you, 
revalidate, and come back :-).

Your page is extremely hard to read, for a relative newbie to CSS, like 
myself - while I could potentially solve your problem, the tag-soup 
prevents me from being able to see it.

Read on for a more thorough explanation, from someone wa-ay more 
experienced than I am.

The color simply won't change because you have an invalid color code
(you put an o instead of a zero.  To make the absolutely positioned
#navVert stay in the wrapper, add position: relative to #wrapper.

You are running in to a problem with the width of the word

[css-d] Safari only bug

2006-01-16 Thread David Mulder
URL: http://home2006.msu.edu

I'm having a hard time finding any documentation on this bug.  We just
released a beta version of a new MSU.edu web site and are getting feedback.

Does anyone know what is going on when Safari drops the left column as
mentioned below?


Mac Safari ONLY

When the window is wider than the content of the page  (800 px or so) it
looks absolutely perfect on every single page in the MSU.edu site.

When the window is smaller than the content of the page, the navigation tabs
are pushed slightly to the right (I know why it is doing this).  The content
and left column are positioned correctly, and everything appears normal.

When you adjust the size of the window, the left column drops immediately.
It does not matter if you are making the window smaller or larger, it just
drops.  Nothing else on the page changes (except for the navigation tabs, if
you decrease the width at a certain point, they are pushed to the right).
Refreshing the page at the new browser window size shows the left column
moving back up to its normal location.

Certainly, this is an issue, but is not as big as some of the feedback is
making it out to be.  It appears to be some sort of Safari quirk, and was
replicated on multiple versions of Safari (2.0.1 and 1.3.1).

[css-d] Newb Questions

2006-01-16 Thread JJ
I'm pretty new at using CSS, especially for site layout.  I was working on 
translating a very simple site over the weekend, a couple very basic 
questions came up.

If I'm using divs with IDs for layout, is there any reason to use one or 
the other convention in my stylesheet?

div#content {...

#content {...


When specifying margins of 0 width, is one or the other of the following 
better for any reason?

margin: 12px 0 5px 0;

margin: 12px 0px 5px 0px;


What is the reason I see in some stylesheets for applying the same styles 
to both 'body' and 'html' elements?  I guess I don't understand the need 
for the 'html'.


Thanks,

Hi again,
I saw some more in your stylesheet. When using:
... { background-image: url('...'); }
you cannot add no-repeat in the same style definition without the 
attribute: background-repeat. 
In long notation it is:
... {background-image: url('...'); background-repeat: no-repeat;}
In shorthand:
... {background: url('...') no-repeat;}

- Fast working, and when adding no-repeat later, I'm used to forget 
deleting the word -image, so I can imagin! ;-)

If you need to differentiate between div#content and [something
else]#content (on multiple pages), then div#content would be logical. 
Otherwise, since there will only be one #content on a page anyway, I'd
go with #content.

 When specifying margins of 0 width, is one or the other of the following
 better for any reason?

 margin: 12px 0 5px 0;

 margin: 12px 0px 5px 0px;

Since 0 is unitless, I (personally) think that the extra px is a waste
of space, though some people like to keep it so that they can change
the value more quickly.

 What is the reason I see in some stylesheets for applying the same styles
 to both 'body' and 'html' elements?  I guess I don't understand the need
 for the 'html'.
My guess for this would be that some browsers handle the two
differently (personally, I just apply styles to both to be safe).

Re: [css-d] position: relative causing positioning and display problems in class

2006-01-16 Thread Ricky Zhou
Just some general notes first: Although it may not have to do with
your problem, the whitespace before the DOCTYPE can put IE into quirks
mode.  Also, you might want to consider using some IDs (use IDs for
things that will only appear ONCE on a page, so you'd use an ID for
the wrapper/content divs or the header/footer/sidebar.

For the menu, I wouldn't pay $45 (?!?) for a javascript solution (that
outputs an annoying-to-style table).  Instead, you might consider a
CSS dropdown menu (like here:
http://www.alistapart.com/articles/horizdropdowns) with some minimal
javascript to get IE to work.  This way, you can fully control the
styling of the menu without delving into javascript code as much. 
(I'm sure that others on this list will have more CSS dropdown
experience/suggestions).

[css-d] 3px holly hack - not working for my needs

2006-01-16 Thread Scott Holdeman

Perhaps I need to explore a different approach altogether, but the one I was
hoping to use is causing me problems:

I created an explanation of my problem based on the Holly Hack demo
(http://www.positioniseverything.net/sidepages/jogfix.html)

My demo page:
http://demo.tectonicsolutions.com/test/ie_3px_fix.html

I am wanting to float an image (block) to the left of a container ­ then
using a large left margin ­ position the accompanying text in what would
become a right column.

I am encountering the 3px jog bug in ie ­ but the Holly Hack is not entirely
working for my needs because following paragraphs are not getting indented.
(see demo) .  Any help/suggestions are very welcome.
Thanks in advance.

[css-d] Question on expanding height of an a element

2006-01-16 Thread Erik Domingo
Hi all,

I've having a problem with the height of some a elements on a page (see
Free Trial and Join The Team at
http://postureworks.bluelangroup.net/index.php4). You'll notice that the
container spans and div have expanded in height, well past what's needed for
the text. I've tried manipulating the CSS at
http://postureworks.bluelangroup.net/PWStyle_v3.css a number of different
ways to correct this, but can't figure it out.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions :)

Erik

PS Interesting to note that when I don't specify display:block for the a
element, IE6 works fine, but FF expands the height of just the link element.
I would leave this as is, but I want to have the site work properly in both
browsers :)

[css-d] background color with div

2006-01-16 Thread Marty Martin
Hi all,

It has been a while since I've designed much and am having a brain
fart at the moment.

I have a graphic (inside a div) that is 100px high and is positioned
absolute at left:0; top:0;.  I am wanting to put a div beside the div
with graphic with a background color to stretch to the far right of
the screen so it appears to be one long banner no matter the size of
the browser for the user.

Here's what I have but it isn't working--

div#header {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
z-index: 0;
}

div id=header
div style=float: left;img src=images/headers/winter_header.gif
width=560 height=150 //div
div style=background-color: #009ACF; height: 101px; width:
100%;nbsp;/div
/div

How can I get that second div to stretch all the way across the screen?

Thanks!

Marty Martin

[css-d] Spacing/text size question

2006-01-16 Thread Amal Bala
Hello everyone --

I'm a novice Web designer who needs a little help using CSS. At
present, I'm using a simple style sheet to control font sizes on my
Web site, www.amalbala.com.

I have achieved my goal of controlling text size (and thus spacing) in
Internet Explorer, but when I visited my site on a Mac, which uses
Safari as the browser, I realized the spacing and sizing get
distorted. In other words, the style sheet seems not to work at all.

Is there something special I need to do so the style sheet works on
Mac browsers as well as PCs?

Many thanks.

Hi Amal,

There's nothing special you need to do to support Safari, Firefox,  
Opera (usually), and so forth.  In general, each of these browsers  
provideds good support for the W3C standards for HTML and CSS.  It's  
IE that provides pretty poor support, so we usually have to modify  
our stylesheets to account for IE's quirks.

As you continue to develop your CSS skills, I'd actually recommend  
starting by developing on Firefox, since it should respond  
predictably to your changes, and then work around IE's quirks.

As for font sizing, I should preface my remarks by saying that fonts  
are always going to be different between browsers and platforms. You  
shouldn't expect pixel-perfect accuracy, but should design so that  
your site looks good and won't break in a variety of situations.  Dan  
Cederholm's book Bulletproof Web Design has some great information  
on this.

I took a look at your site, and saw that you're using points for font  
sizing.  Points are great for print, but they're pretty lousy for web  
design. Pixels are a bit better, but you can't resize pixels with IE,  
so visitors reading the text are out of luck.  Relative units (small,  
medium, large; ems, and percentages) are usually the way to go.

I'd suggest setting a base font size for your document like this:

   body { font-size: small; }

And then modifying the elements using ems or percentages, like this:

   h2 { font-size: 1.5em; }
or
   h2 { font-size: 150%; }

Hope that helps!

You can set up a new 'positioning context' by applying position:  
relative; like so...

#masthead, #contentColumn, #footer { position: relative; }

BTW, there are several hacks in there for really old browsers (as well  
as an upgrade notice) that I'd be tempted to remove.  Alternatively,  
check out the wiki for other 3col layouts that might suit you.

 Just for nitpicking sake: pixels are relative units.

That's what the CSS spec says, but it shouldn't be defined there as it
is, because it is very misleading. Pixels are relative to display
resolution and screen size, but since that relativity applies to
everything on the screen, it has no relevance to any CSS relative
properties discussion or CSS rule, unless you're discussing the
exceedingly rare user who intentionally adjusts screen object sizes by
changing resolution. Given the size of the screen and the resolution of
any particular user's system, a px is thus a fixed size unit.

 http://videointegrations.com/serenity/facial_rosacea_mask.html
Well, I decided to try putting some borders into the table and it looks 
decent in all but IE6;-(
Anyone got any bright ideas?

-Scott
  

Hi Scott,
During a week or so I was wondering what would give the strange 
IE-stretching of the images on the left side of the serenity-pages, 
which disappeared after hovering over some link anywhere. Today I had to 
know! Here is the story:

*Debugging IE*

*Step 1: Isolating the problemarea*
Comment out parts of the page, and see if the problem is still there. If 
yes: in that part was the problem. If no, go on and omit more parts.  
Repeat!
My first thought: the strange enlarging-effect of some images in IE 
could be caused by something in the menu, so I dismissed the menu. 
Problem still onboard! - Then great steps: I dismissed the whole 
#AllContent. It wasn't that! - Problem can be only in something in the 
#Header and the classes/ID's below. - Making the area narrower and 
narrower ... and ... in the end there was only the image 
serenity_swish.gif and the stylesheet itself: surprise!
See (in IE) example-1 
http://home.tiscali.nl/developerscorner/css-discuss/serenity_mask1.html 
and source code of it.

*Step 2: Collect the css*
See in the stylesheet what styles can possibly can have influence on the 
area in which the problem is showing.  Copy that styles, and paste them 
as style declarations in the head of the page.  Disconnect the 
stylesheet.  If well done, the problem will still be there.
See (in IE) example-2 
http://home.tiscali.nl/developerscorner/css-discuss/serenity_mask2.html 
and source code of it.

*Step 3: Isolating the problem*
Now we have just the conditions and the effect conveniently arranged on 
one page, and now intervening/testing is easy.  If you don't see it 
immediately, there is always the trial and error method.  Worst case 
scenario: some patience, but the problem can be targeted.
First thought was the particulairity of the img {width:auto;} and img 
{height:auto;}. Images: don't they have an auto width and height by 
default? So turned off both auto's. Result!
See (in IE) example-3 
http://home.tiscali.nl/developerscorner/css-discuss/serenity_mask3.html 
and source code of it.

*Step 4: Solving the problem*
In this case: omitting the general auto's and see if you can miss them 
or need them somewhere else in the page (if yes, then add a special 
class/ID for that).

*Step 5: Documentating the problem*
This is the easiest part! For safety: open your notepad and write down 
what problem and solution you found. Save in map Tips and Tricks + 
link to Bookmark/Favorites, in case over time x you 'll happen to get 
the same problem, remembering that you had solved this already some 
months/years ago (but how did I do that?). - But unless it is a small 
thing in a complicated css, I mostly don't need opening the safety-map: 
'cause it is burned in my brains. ;-)

Greetings,
francky

could do it with CSS only (OK, I *did* use Dean Edwards IE7 scripts, 
hoping to avoid IE problems, since that gives me :hover support and 
transparent pngs)... I did fine as far as all non-IE browsers are 
concerned, but of course nothing works in IE, and I can't for the life

Re: [css-d] 3px holly hack - not working for my needs

2006-01-16 Thread Holly Bergevin

From: Scott Holdeman [EMAIL PROTECTED]

My demo page:
http://demo.tectonicsolutions.com/test/ie_3px_fix.html

I am wanting to float an image (block) to the left of a container ­ then
using a large left margin ­ position the accompanying text in what would
become a right column.

I am encountering the 3px jog bug in ie ­ but the Holly Hack is not entirely
working for my needs because following paragraphs are not getting indented.

First, take a look at your code. Even when you create demos (especially?) you 
should make sure that you are dealing with valid code. You have four instances 
of two different IDs on your page. While I don't think that is causing any 
problem for IE in this case, you still should change those to classes for the 
purposes of reusing them on the same page.

Additionally, you have wrapped two paragraphs in a span in your last example. 
Paragraphs are block elements and therefore cannot be placed within a span (an 
inline element). If you change that element to a div, you will have greater 
success in getting what you want.

Finally, you have competing selectors that are making it impossible for 
browsers to do what you want them to do.

The following should do what you'd like, assuming you're willing to wrap your 
right column content in a div.

 !DOCTYPE html PUBLIC -//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN

 /style 

 /head 
 body

The red bordered box is a wrapper to give the demo a consistent width, and has 
no effect on the various IE problems in question. It can be eliminated without 
changing the jog fix. br / 
This paragraph (black border) should have a 10px gap between it and the float. 
There will be no 
3px text jog within the paragraph where the float ends in IE/win. Take that, 
M$! Buahaha!! br /

direction.  I'm not sure I am guessing correctly about what you want 
because you end up with white text on a light background... very hard 
to read.

[css-d] Website check - Is it all there?

2006-01-16 Thread James Rankin
Hi everyone,

 Although i've got a NetMechanic browser shot account,
I just cannot get one single browser shot to display
in my account, and I'd appreciate it very much if some
of you guys and girls could check on two pages in
particular.

http://www.macrankin.co.uk/  (home Page)

http://www.macrankin.co.uk/info_dex.html (sort of blog
page)

Btw, i never meant to have a small iframe on the
second page. I had to use it to get round text length
dictating issues with Internet Explorer for the Mac
platform.

Thanks.

James Rankin

I like the look of the updated tabs on veer.com, so I wanted to see if I 
could do it with CSS only (OK, I *did* use Dean Edwards IE7 scripts, 
hoping to avoid IE problems, since that gives me :hover support and 
transparent pngs)... I did fine as far as all non-IE browsers are 
concerned, but of course nothing works in IE, and I can't for the life 
of me figure out why. I feel it must be something obvious I'm 
overlooking. If anyone has time to take a look, I'd sure appreciate it:

Hi Suzanne,
I've to disappoint you first: I don't know why either.
But if I'm right, you don't plan to have subitems under the tabs?

1.
In that case you don't need a special :hover script for IE (the items 
are all normal alinks, supported bij IE).

2.
As far as the design is now, you don't really need png's either, I 
think. It can be done just with jpg's or gifs (small overlap with the 
next tab for the shadows), and with the same basic css as you have now. 
With a padding for the links you can position the clickable area just at 
the tabs. Then no troubles (and extra patch accessoires and extra kB's) 
to expect for IE. Makes live a lot easier.

A similar way to use combined gif's for a liquid css tab-design you can 
find at this testpage 
http://home.tiscali.nl/developerscorner/css-discuss/paulwalker-francky.htmof 
some time ago.
Or maybe you can take a look at the Liquid Round Cornerspages 
http://home.tiscali.nl/developerscorner/liquidcorners/liquidcorners.htm 
on my site for some inspiration.
- All this is scriptless and IE-proof. And working in the others ;-).

Hope you can use some of this,
Greetings,
francky

Re: [css-d] Safari only bug

 I'm having a hard time finding any documentation on this bug.  We just
 released a beta version of a new MSU.edu web site and are getting 
 feedback.

 Does anyone know what is going on when Safari drops the left column as
 mentioned below?


 Mac Safari ONLY

 When the window is smaller than the content of the page, the 
 navigation tabs
 are pushed slightly to the right (I know why it is doing this).  The 
 content
 and left column are positioned correctly, and everything appears 
 normal.
This happens in gecko browsers also.

 When you adjust the size of the window, the left column drops 
 immediately.
 It does not matter if you are making the window smaller or larger, it 
 just
 drops.  Nothing else on the page changes ...
 Refreshing the page at the new browser window size shows the left 
 column
 moving back up to its normal location.
Not always.  If I refresh a bunch of times it will go back and forth 
between 'normal' and 'dropped'.  It doesn't seem to matter how wide my 
window is.  It does seem to have something to do with triggering a 
recalc of page layout.  When I refresh, if it only repaints the 
picture, it does not drop.  If it invalidates and redraws the whole 
page then the welcome column will be dropped.

 Certainly, this is an issue, but is not as big as some of the feedback 
 is
 making it out to be.  It appears to be some sort of Safari quirk, and 
 was
 replicated on multiple versions of Safari (2.0.1 and 1.3.1).
The only reason it is an issue is because it overlaps the footer when 
it 'drops'.  If it weren't for that, safari users would assume it was 
supposed to be that way.  It sure looks like a browser bug to me.  
Unfortunately, it is really hard to hack for safari because it's css 
parser is so strict.

One nitpick.  I see that the document is xhtml 1.0 strict, but the 
mime-type is text/html.  I thought only xhtml 1.0 transitional could be 
served with that mime type.

It is a lovely site by the way.  I really like it.

[css-d] Problems with automatic div sizing

2006-01-16 Thread Jochen Kächelin
I have problems with this

  http://gizmo.sp-online.de/test.html

under Firefox 1.07/Ubuntu and Opera 8.51/Ubuntu.

The red-bordered div does not grow in size although the main and nav div are
inside.

So I can not put the footer div under the main_container div. It always apear 
under the main div.
IE6/Windows displays everything as expected.

Is there a way to size a div automatic depending on the size of another div 
inside?

Thanx.

Try adding a padding-bottom or margin-bottom of about 20px on the  
bottom navigation that is in the content area. So as long as another  
page doesn't have much more content in the sidebar than the index  
page does you'll be fine.
Also, everything is sized in ems except for the header image. So when  
I enlarge or decrease the text size everything in the site expands or  
gets smaller except for the header image. You can size the header  
image in ems as well so it resizes too.

Re: [css-d] img tag, css and xhtml

 I made a testpage
 http://home.tiscali.nl/developerscorner/css-discuss/valid-img-styling.htmwhich
 validates as html and as css, even without head/head and
 body/body tags.

The opening and closing tags for the head and body elements are
optional in HTML 4.x (since they can be implied easily).

The body element in HTML 4.01 Transitional can contain %flow... but
there isn't any good reason to use Transitional in this day and age.
In the regular HTML 4.01 DTD (Strict), body can contain %block.

%flow includes img elements, %block doesn't.
