Re: [css-d] Very serious error in Gecko [was: help with float dropin third column of CSS layout -Mozilla Browsers]

  The link is http://www.inspired-evolution.com/layout_test.php and the

 Actually Gecko (Firefox) does a *VERY* serious mistake by positioning
 the contents of the top right column (#col2) where it does. Have a
 look at Opera or Safari to see what *should* happen.
 #col2 is only 15em and is not floated, hence the contents of that div
 should drop down below the left column (#col1). If you replace the
 list (ul) inside of #col2 with a p then Gecko comes back to
 correct display.

It seems that the Gecko behavior is related to the  li having as
efault  -moz-float-edge: margin-box.
Usually all other block elements have -moz-float-edge: content-box, which
implies the normal correct behavior.

With -moz-float-edge: margin-box the li behave in a non standard way in
presence of floats (usually they are fully displaced by a float, as they
were inline-level.)  And in this case we have this even stranger behavior:
all the ancestors of the uls appear (as seen with the DOM inspector)
correctly at the left of the page, behind #col1,  but the li are rendered
totally outside their containing boxes.
Giving -moz-float-edge: content-box to the li seems to restore the
correct behavior.

Thank you, Felix.  CSS now validated and your technical complaint

 Valid CSS is no less important than valid HTML. Validate it:

 That will technically correct your complaint, but it won't correct my
 complaint. If you like small text, set your own browser so that's what
 you get. Don't impose undersize body and P text on your visitors.
 They're the only ones on position to determine the best size for what
 shows up in their browser viewports. They do it in their browser
 preference settings. Imposing arbitrary size reductions on body and  
 P is
 telling them they're wrong. That's rude, especially since they aren't
 wrong. http://mrmazda.no-ip.com/auth/bigdefaults.html

[css-d] Firefox image background issue

2006-06-29 Thread Eoin Maguire
Hi,

   I have an ID that's giving me problems in FF. It's fairly basic and as
far as I can tell the problem lies in the definition itself (as opposed to
other divs interacting with it causing the strange behaviour).

It's really basic, a background image that for some reason in FF is pushed
upwards (hard to describe but you only see the bottom part of the image, as
if a negative top margin is cutting off the top). In IE it displays fine.

Here's the CCS:

#blackBar {
background-image: url(images/black_bar.gif);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
width: 784px;
height: 30px;
}

Anyone have any idea? Or maybe someone could confirm that it *must* be some
other element outside of the above one because the above one is fine in FF?

Thanks!

I found the easiet way to bug fix this kind of thing is to take the
element and code out of the context of the page, i.e. create a new page
with just the element and code in and see if it works. If it does then
you know its something else contributing and your code is fine.

As far as I can see, your CSS looks fine. However, you could try setting
the positioning of the background image to be sure, e.g. top and left.

[css-d] Fluid 3 column layout with images

2006-06-29 Thread Christine Reed
I have just built my first successful 3-column layout - 'proper' contents still 
need adding.
It works well at 1024 res and above but when the viewport gets reduced (eg at 
800 res) or if  Favourites is open on the side, the whole thing degrades badly 
- ie page elements move out of place starting with the image placed in the 
middle column.
I suspect it is because the text can resize because I have used  {margin:auto;} 
as well as percentages for the body and the divs but the image has a fixed 
width and shifts instead of resizing...
Is there a way I can get the image to behave like the rest and resize?

Many thanks to anyone willing to help me!

[css-d] Background flashes

Re: [css-d] Liquid columns Printing Issue - update

2006-06-29 Thread Chris C
Thank you,

That brought me 50% of the way there,
I mentioned two issues before (I thought they were tied together) but
you resolved one of them by this suggestion.

The only problem I'm having left is FireFox still refuses to print
beyond the first page where as it looks great in every other browser
(IE6, IE7, and 
Opera).

It also only appears to happen when I have tables being displayed.
p/p tags etc that span across several pages print wonderfully in
Firefox.
It's only this scenario:

[..header data..]

table
[1-20 page(s) later]
/table 

[..footer data..]

Page 2 always seems to hold the footer though which makes the issue
really bizarre.

The URL once again is: http://hitech.lead2gold.org/view_teams.php
The 3 style-sheets I'm using are:
(page layout only): http://hitech.lead2gold.org/css/navmain.css
(page colors and some table layouts):
http://hitech.lead2gold.org/css/green.css
(print css) http://hitech.lead2gold.org/css/print.css

Thanks again for resolving one of my problems though!

 I do in fact have a print.css file that chops the right and left menu
 bars before the print.
 I can't figure out why it truncates past the first page.

Are the containers of the content being printed floating? (Sorry,
can't look right now).
In your print sheet, try getting rid of the floats.

i.e.  #div{float:none;}

Hmm. The only other print issues I have had (so far) I managed to
resolve by having to put width:auto!important; and
height:auto!important;  in my print sheet. Without the !important
added, the print styles didn't over-ride the screen.

 Setting the fade time 0 .1 sec is  harmless for the visitor, and long enough

Hi Riva,

I have tested the site in IE5, 5.5, 6 and 7 and I can't replicate the
issue you describe. 
You do have a transition set on each page:

meta http-equiv=Page-Enter content=blendTrans(Duration=0.1)

This may be causing what you see. Alternatively, try setting no-repeat
on the background image since the image is static.

[css-d] Drop-down menu IE6 problem

2006-06-29 Thread Marc Wolfgram
I have used a css drop down menu list structure on several sites very  
successfully. I'm using it again on a site under development. The  
menu works fine on all browsers EXCEPT IE6 Win (works under IE7 beta  
too!) Homeowner's Guide should display five submenu items on  
mouseover.

I've crawled through the css and the html. The IE helper javascript  
is the same file used on my other sites... I'm looking for a clue.

html- http://www.homelitecustomwindows.com/index.html
css-- http://www.homelitecustomwindows.com/master.css
js--- http://www.homelitecustomwindows.com/ddmenu.js

Note that the 'UL' reference in the js code matches 'ul' -- tried  
that, no joy -- the code is called, when I move it a level higher it  
hid and unhid the main nav bar ul.

P.S. I know it's also broken on Mac IE 5.2 but that's another matter  
that will not be addressed -- IE Mac is dead.
