 You're right - it's a float issue!

 You can fix it (I've only checked in FF, IE6 and Safari) by  
 removing the
 float declaration from the '.sel-box' rule.


Hi Stuart,

That did the trick. Thanks very much for your help.

 Not a lot you can do about dotted border, but your site doesn't  
 render in IE

 See attached.

 Does this mean that no one is going to do anything about this?  I

 more money, more time, more bandwidth, less accessibility, etc, etc..
 
 Why doesn't any one care about this? Am I totally off by asking for  
 something like this?  Is anyone working on figuring this out?
 

Two points.
1) PLEASE don't quote entire messages. Several thousand subscribers 
don't need to see the whole thread over and over again.  BTW, most of us 
prefer bottom posting. Both are mentioned in the list policies.

2) Some provision for loadable fonts will be in one of the CSS3 modules. 
  The W3C CSS Working Group (I'm a member) has been discussing this 
recently.  The feature is not yet in any draft, but it is almost certain 
to occur in some form.  As to why it's not a priority, demand drives 
almost all W3C activity.  There are many other things that people have 
asked for more frequently than downloadable fonts.

Re: [css-d] Fonts

2006-05-22 Thread Christian Heilmann
 That's great and all but you didn't answer my question.  To me this
 is the same problem that we had without CSS.  We used tables and
 other means to get the designs that we wanted.  This is how I
 interpret what you just told me.  We have carefully thought and put
 together 12 standard t-shirts.  They are great t-shirts and everyone
 on the planet has to pick out of that 12 because we studied what it
 takes to be a t-shirt and feel that the 12 we have chosen are
 awesome.  The point is to empower designers not to put them in a box.
 And as much as you try you can't take css and make a font look like
 another, you just don't have that much control.

True it is the same problem: You seem to still want to control what
the visitor sees, and this is not what web design is about IMHO. The
power of the web is its diversity, you can pick from dozens of
different user agents and hundreds of user agent/operating
system/ability constellations.
The whole font debate IMHO is none: Use your font and use others as
fallbacks, ending with a generic font name and the visitors who have
the fancy font will see it, others won't but can still read your site.
If you want to force a certain font or you want to use a licensed
font, use Flash. Web design is about styling and providing content not
about providing style and adding some content.
Your T-shirt example does not apply. Even if there were only 12
Tshirts people would spray them, tiedye them or sew own stuff on them.
But it is the people's choice what to do with them. A Tshirt - like
any physical product - has a fixed state at the time you hand it over
to the buyer, a web site doesn't as it depends on the user agent and
the other technical bits and bobs on the visitor's end, and you cannot
guess or determine what that is.
If you create a movie that only works on 16x9 or needs colour you
cannot stop people from watching it on a TV in 4x3 or black and white.
As a music artist you cannot expect people to listen to your songs on
high-end playback equipment with headphones instead of a dingy car
stereo with one broken speaker.
If you feel not empowered enough as a designer have a look into
usability or information architecure - a lot to research, test and
learn there, but I don't see many people crying for more real data on
these matters - instead we work on assumptions most of the time. And
that results in web products that annoy rather than offer an enjoyable
experience.
Or see the diversity of the web as a challenge instead of demanding
the CSS specs to change (which is pretty pointless as browser vendors
tend to support them with a slight delay of 2-8 years and then it
needs users to upgrade).
Can you create a design that can work with different screen sizes,
font sizes and content in several languages and text encodings?

my $,02,

chris

Re: [css-d] site check / images in header question

2006-05-22 Thread Cem Meric

 Basically I want to have an image across the top of the content area as
 shown on the test page. However, the live site is of a fluid design and
 I am wondering if there is any way to accomplish a fluid design while
 having a top image. I imagine way to do this is to have the image much
 wider than is expected to be needed and somehow hide the excess width if
 the browser window is narrow. Unfortunately I don' t know how to
 accomplish such a feat.

Hi Dale,

I've changed your code a little bit based on fluid technique. For the main
image on the header if you blend its right side with your selection of
background colour, you will achieve that sense of stretch in harmony.

 I would also love to have random images show up each time, but I realize
 that is outside of the scope of css. Once I know how to properly get the
 images displayed with a floating design, I will initially have a
 different image for each page. Random images might come later :)
 

You are correct. In fact I've used ASP for this example. See my code for
random name changes for the header image;

Hope that helps;

[css-d] Paragraph links

2006-05-22 Thread Daniel Kessler
I am trying to make all the links in my content section to be a  
particular color.  Since I noticed that all the content is in p  
tags, I tried to set the links for p tags to that color. I did:
p a{
color: #1863B5;
text-decoration:none;
}

That seems to work with anything in the second paragraph but not the  
first paragraph in this page:
http://hhp.umd.edu/events/systems_thinking/content/ 
systems_thinking_5.cfm? 
q_1=cq_2=bq_3=bq_4=bq_5=bq_6=bq_7=bq_8=bq_9=bq_10=b

The links aren't in the most inner p, but they are in a p

So, I can figure a fix probably, but I'd like to know why it is this  
way and then yeah a nice solution would be a bonus.

thanks!

Thank you, it worked. ¨
 Although it caused some other problems, so I'll have to leave it for now.
 I worked around the problem by setting  a border-bottom, which fixes it in

 Now I'm aware of it though, I'll use it next time.

[css-d] Layout Done... Now what about content?

2006-05-22 Thread Marc Funaro
I seem to have successfully built my first CSS-only layout, and it's working
very well... The page loads are faster and the markup is clean and quite
maintainable!  I have the list to thank for this.

I now have some questions about actual content that will be going into my
layouts:

1.  I'm still a little unsure about when tables SHOULD be used.  For
example, we very commonly build forms for data insert/edit in our web apps.
Normally, we'd use a two column table, the left cells being for the form
field label, and the right cells being used for the form fields themselves.
With the CSS-only methodology, am I to abandon the use of tables for form
layouts?  If so, how do I approach this?

2.  What are common content types that YOU have used tables for?  In what
situations has a table been your only course of action?

3.  Has anyone here ever implemented an HTML 4.01 Strict or XHTML compliant
template for use with a content management system (where non-technical users
are inserting content), and still been able to keep all the pages compliant?
If so, what widgets/tools are the non-technical users asked to use, to
insert their text/images without destroying compliancy?

Thanks again everyone!

marc

  Hi,
 
  When using this css for each div, how can I make it so that the divs

 Brian,

 As neat as it sounds to expand your layout on text resize, you really have
 to consider your total page size first.  My site currently expands when
 text
 is resized and depending on how big a visitors needs the text to be, the
 layout begins to spread beyond a typical 1024x768 viewable area.

 I was pretty tedious to built (being that it was my first try at a
 completely tableless design) but definitely a good learning experience.

 Just keep in mind how much of your layout is going to expand beyond the
 typical viewable area on resize.  Zoom x2 is as big as my site will go
 at
 1024 x 768...OK, but maybe it could be better.


creating designs that resize well goes a long way towards improving the
accessibility of the web.

i suggest setting a pixel font size for the body and using ems for your
units of measurement thereafter.
that way, everything will be in proportion to that font size, and will get
bigger and smaller with the text.
for some things, of course, pixels are still fine. it depends on the
situation and which part of the design it will affect.

i always, always make sure my sites can be resized to at least 2 sizes above
their default.
accessibility. it's the future.

[css-d] Drop-down menu Safari wackiness

2006-05-22 Thread benjy rose :: B:COMPLEX Creative
Hi all...

I've created a dropdown menu that works fine on FF/Mac, FF/Win, and IE/Win,
but has some weirdness on Safari.  Basically, when the menu first drops
down, it doesn't display the full width of the menu, but when I roll over
the items, they each extend out to the proper length. Then, when I roll off
the menu, the extra bit (full length minus length displayed originally)
remains on screen until I resize the browser window.

Here, look:

The css is here: http://www.gmvoices.com/screen.css   Scroll down to the
#nav parts.

There's gotta be a quick oh-yeah-I'm-a-dumbass explanation here.

Re: [css-d] floats making rows, not columns.

2006-05-22 Thread cj
the problem is your width: 100%; here:

.mustread{
float:left;
width:100%;
text-align:left;
}

if you tell it to be 100% width, it is going to bump down until it can
take up the whole 100%.  whatever width you specify needs to take into
account the other columns you want.

There is this #nav li float with a fixed width of 10em, it is overflown 
by its descendant link of 171px width + padding.

This exceeding part keeps visible when the absolute positioned ul collapses.

I think floating the li on the second level is not needed.

#nav li li {float: none;}

seems to fix it here for Safari. Did not test it in the other browsers.

Don't know if this is the kind of answer you was looking for.

Daniel, the problem is that you're nesting p tags, which is not allowed:

Load your page in Firefox and use either the DOM Inspector, View Source

[css-d] font-stretch / CSS2

2006-05-22 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I found this as an example on one of the font specification pages 
referenced via the font thread email.  This would be useful, but appears 
to be only implemented in CSS2.  As a designer or user how do you 
access/force CSS2?  Is it even viable at this time?

h2 { font-stretch:  expanded; }

 You can see by yourself @

 what is wrong; i've already gave magazines-home float:left and
 mustread
 float:left, so they should be columns, not rows.

I see 3 rows of 2 magazines, and then the div.mustread below 
them.

 .mustread{

If you want div.mustread to be next to div.magazines-home, you 
need to take off the 100% width on div.mustread.

 i suggest setting a pixel font size for the body and using ems for your
 units of measurement thereafter.

Setting a pixel font-size for the body will prevent Internet Explorer 
for Windows (version 6 and below) from resizing the text at all. Better 
to use a percentage on the body, although your advice about then using 
ems is sound.

Also worthy of note is that IE/Win only supports integer percentages, or 
2 decimal places on ems, so for example, consider the following:

body {
font-size: 100%;
}

#wrapper {
font-size: 0.625em;
}

Assuming that the browsers have their factory default settings of 16px 
(12pt on IE, which comes out equal to 16px), the above will give a 1em 
size of 10px on Firefox, IE, Safari, etc (16 * 0.625).

However, on IE/Win, it will give a size of 9.92px (16 * 0.62).

This means that if you then specify something like

#someblock {
width: 30em;
}

then #someblock will be 300px wide on most browsers, but only 297px wide 
on IE. (If I remember correctly; even if my figures are slightly off, 
which depends on whether IE remains aware of the 0.92px, it's still 
smaller than you would expect.)

Regards,

Nick.

 if you tell it to be 100% width, it is going to bump down until it can
 take up the whole 100%.  whatever width you specify needs to take into
 account the other columns you want.

It looks like the width on mustread is set to 100% - too wide to fit

 the page width minus the 1st column.  Btw, I find that setting borders on

  When using this css for each div, how can I make it so that the divs

One option is to size absolutely everything that needs to be sized using
em. None of the following size anything in % or px:
http://mrmazda.no-ip.com/indexx.html
http://mrmazda.no-ip.com/auth/Sites/dlviolin.html
http://mrmazda.no-ip.com/SS/bbcSS.html

Note how everything sizes proportionally as long as viewport size and
text size are maintained at a reasonable relationship (line lengths in
words neither unreasonably long nor unreasonably short).

 Just keep in mind how much of your layout is going to expand beyond the
 typical viewable area on resize.  Zoom x2 is as big as my site will go at
 1024 x 768...OK, but maybe it could be better.

 creating designs that resize well goes a long way towards improving the
 accessibility of the web.

Exactly.

 i suggest setting a pixel font size for the body and using ems for your
 units of measurement thereafter.

Setting font-size using px is incompatible with resizing by IE users'
resizer widget. Here's what one easily might find on a page following
your recommendation: http://mrmazda.no-ip.com/SS/fonts-mezzoblue12.png.
Note in the mezzoblue page on IE that the P content is a tiny fraction
of the size of the browser UI text, in spite of the text resizer setting
largest.

So, you can either size in px, or you can, barring other obstacles in
your markup and/or CSS, have a page accessibile accessible to all
sighted visitors. You can't have both.

 that way, everything will be in proportion to that font size, and will get
 bigger and smaller with the text.

Except in the most common web browser.

 for some things, of course, pixels are still fine. it depends on the
 situation and which part of the design it will affect.

Px is easy for you, the designer, but can easily make your result
difficult or impossible for your visitor. Sizing in px is not necessary.

 i always, always make sure my sites can be resized to at least 2 sizes above
 their default. accessibility. it's the future.

The only one of your sites I've seen is http://www.pacifictao.com/, on
which IE users' text resizer widget cannot function at all,
http://mrmazda.no-ip.com/SS/skyees1.jpg, thus giving it poor
accessibility. Accessibility need not and should wait for the future.
Most new pages should have it built-in.

Re: [css-d] Layout Done... Now what about content?

2006-05-22 Thread Cem Meric

 1.  I'm still a little unsure about when tables SHOULD be used.  For
 example, we very commonly build forms for data insert/edit in our web
 apps.
 Normally, we'd use a two column table, the left cells being for the form
 field label, and the right cells being used for the form fields
 themselves.
 With the CSS-only methodology, am I to abandon the use of tables for form
 layouts?  If so, how do I approach this?

Here is an example approach http://jeffhowden.com/code/css/forms/


 2.  What are common content types that YOU have used tables for?  In what
 situations has a table been your only course of action?

Purpose of using tables is displaying purely tabular data e.g. statistics 

And before you have your data lined up for display you should check out
Chris's compliant table gallery http://icant.co.uk/csstablegallery/


 3.  Has anyone here ever implemented an HTML 4.01 Strict or XHTML
 compliant
 template for use with a content management system (where non-technical
 users
 are inserting content), and still been able to keep all the pages
 compliant?
 If so, what widgets/tools are the non-technical users asked to use, to
 insert their text/images without destroying compliancy?

Yes! I prefer http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/ 

Hope that helps

The solution for both (didn't check in IE), is to align the image to the

Have you considered using a real html table for building this? That  
would make *much* more sense...

The problem of that 'gap' is coming from the font-size on that div,  
which has a computed value of 16px; add the line-height to that, and  
that box has a real height much larger that the 4px you assigned.

Gap is visible in Gecko, Safari, Opera, iCab.

Re: [css-d] Positioning Left, middle, right

First think about your data.  Divs and spans are the elements of last  
resort as they are generic and communicate nothing about the  
relationships of these bits of data.  Also, id attributes must be  
unique, i.e. 1 per page.  Given that, you should change id=year to  
class=year.  I would thinks about something like this...

---  html  ---
ol id=workhistory
   li id=mostrecent
 ul class=employer
   li class=serviceyears2005 - /li
   li class=locationNacogdoches, TX/li
   li class=name936 Web Design/li
 /ul
 h3 class=jobtitleCompany Owner/h3
 ul class=duties
   liSetup and maintain database driven web sites./li
   liManage DNS services./li
 /ul
   /li
   !--  repeat as needed --
/ol
-  css  
#workhistory li { display: block; border: 1px solid black; }
#workhistory li li { border: none; }
.employer { display: block; border-bottom: 1px solid black; text-align:  
center}
.serviceyears { float: left; }
.location { float: right; }

There's some interesting examples over at microformats.org.  This code  
is not tested, but should get you started.  Getting the html right is  
fundamental because the css will be 'unstable' until the html is well  
in hand.  I don't even want to think about the number of times I've had  
to rewrite my css because I changed my mind about what the html should  
be :-)

Re: [css-d] Can't get rid of IE margin!

I have no idea, and no time to look for the correct bug.

However, a little re-styling in the IE-stylesheet seems to make it work
as you want. Just add...

#secondary_info {width: 272px; float: right; margin-left: -3px;}

...and see if that does it for IE at your end.

BTW: you have forgotten to test/provide for any degree of 'minimum font
size', 'ignore font sizes' and other user options. Makes it look a bit
weak in all my browsers, and creates float-drop in IE/win.

Georg
