Re: [css-d] Fonts
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 -- Chris Heilmann Blog: http://www.wait-till-i.com Writing: http://icant.co.uk/ Binaries: http://www.onlinetools.org/ __ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7b2 testing hub -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
Re: [css-d] site check / images in header question
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.

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.)

It looks like the width on mustread is set to 100% - too wide to fit in the available space after the 1st column. Set it to something less than the page width minus the 1st column.

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.

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