[css-d] IE 3-pixel bug problem revisited

2006-08-16 Thread Karl Jacobs
Hello,

I've got a question regarding the IE 3-pixel bug problem.  (I've read over
the Molly/John page on this a dozen times).

I have been using the {height:1%;} to fix the bug in most of my layouts
where needed. However, I've come across a situation where it breaks
something worse that the problem it fixes.

In my layout, I have a floated left-nav, a center column for content, and a
floated right-column that has some links and such in it.

The center column is controlled by using the left and right margins, as many
sites do now.  The content is allowed to flow around the right float.

The problem is that when I apply the {height:1%;}, then the content will not
wrap around the right float.  It treats the left edge of the right float as
a hard margin, and all the content stays between the two floats.

Is there a way around this?...

I have tried applying the -3px right-margin fix to the left float, but that
appears to have no effect.

Any other ways?...

Thanks,

-- Karl

[css-d] 3-col - Oposite floats vs. Negative margins

2006-08-16 Thread Eystein Alnaes
I would like to ask the list of its view on which technique seems more
appropriate (read: trouble-free) for a large 3-column site with mostly
dynamic contents.

Method 1:
Opposite floats - #box1 floats left, #box2 floats right (with another
#sub-box 1 and 2 inside also floated left and right).

Method 2:
Negative margins - floating 3 divs left, and using margins and negative
margins to arrange the columns. (The primary column appears first in the
html, but visually as the center column).

The center column will be your typical corporate site, sometimes with one
article spanning the whole width, other times with 2 or 3 smaller news items
or similar next to each other. Also note that the site will have a fixed
width, although I'm considering using an elastic layout. Regarding that,
I'll also appreciate any comments on using keywords for fontsize as opposed
to 'em'.

These might seem like very broad questions, but in my experience having the
basics of the site nailed down will help avoid many later unnecessary
issues.

Thank you,
Eystein.

Hi Liz

Sorry if I'm late, and You have got solution alreary. (I read list in
digest-mode.)
You can try something like this:

#navcontainer li
{
margin-bottom: 8px;
padding-top: 2px;
padding-bottom: 2px;
padding-left: 5px;
background-color: #2b6a59;

display: block;

}

Thank you Mari,  that fixed it!  The previous fix was almost there but not
quite, had problems with the rollovers.

his works well and the padding where you put it keeps the list at the
correct width. Where I originally put it the width increased with the
padding even though there was room for the text.

Thank you

 Well, I just consulted Eric's main css book and couldn't find an 
 answer though it does look like input is a replaced element.  So,
 does it have to do with inline and replaced elements not being in
 the clear?

Consulting my old, but still mostly accurate, HTML4 reference:

   While INPUT is most useful within a FORM, HTML 4.0 allows INPUT in
any block-level or inline element other than BUTTON.

So it's not that limited in this case, it seems.

It's all those other stupid methods one can't get to work :-)

This 'conditional elastic' is closest to your 1:, I think...
http://www.gunlaug.no/tos/moa_12c.html
It can take any number of columns (theoretically), and make them appear
equal height in _most_ browsers - all new ones at least.

Fixed, elastic, em-based, fluid or combined. Just restyle the main
wrapper and you get whichever combination you want. It can also make IE6
behave in any combination.
I think it is about as trouble-free as any layout around, but then
again: I put together the darn thing, so I may not be objective ;-)


I've personally found the percentage/em font-sizing to be most
cross-browser reliable. In the 'conditional elastic' above you will have
to avoid starting on html/body though.

Georg

Bringing up a old problem here, why aren't the three bottom containers
(#block_x) aligning horisontal in Safari? Works in Firefox, and IE6 with
some filters. It's the #wrapper div containing #block_1, #block_2 and
#block_3. (I'm using the equal hight technique from position is everything.)

Hi,

I finally got my layout to work in IE, FireFox and Netscape (have yet to 
check in on Safari), and was feeling pretty excited about having figured out 
how to use css.. until I discovered that if i shrunk my browser, the content 
to the right shifted right over the left content.  They overlapped on to 
each other.

Is there some way of fixing this?  Ideally if the browser was minimized I 
would like the page to still be legible by using the browser scroll on the 
bottom.  I'm guessing from what I researched over the Internet it may have 
something to do with the position or float tag.   If somebody could 
please direct me I'd super grateful.

My layout is just a 2 column page with a boarder around it. Content on the

Hi M.!
I pasted *) the code in a testpage 
http://home.tiscali.nl/developerscorner/css-discuss/test-shrinking-ori.htm.
Main thing what is going wrong is the absolute positioning of the div's. 
Then the page cannot react on changings in window size and/or 
resolution. - The font size setting in px (also absolute value) is 
prohibiting the visitor to up- or downscale the font size in IE, if 
wanted/needed.

Is this the kind of thing you mean? New testpage 
http://home.tiscali.nl/developerscorner/css-discuss/test-shrinking-new.htm.
Direction: many links to good examples are on the css-d Wiki!

Now we have to make a page ourselves before we can see what is the

link? Guess it will speed up a reply! ;-)

 The issue is with the 'Our Knowledge' link it turns on a hidden div

 The problem is, it takes up all space in the regular document flow,

You're using visibility: hidden to hide the div, which makes it 
invisible, but still lets it take up space. Use display: none instead. 
However, you set it to display by default and use JavaScript on page 
load that hides it. This way, if someone has JavaScript disabled, they

Float moves content to the left or right. It doesn't layer content over 
other content. Absolute positioning does. So, I suggest you modify your 
script so that it sets the div to absolute positioning and pushes it off 
the left side of the screen with a large negative left margin. The, when 
the button is clicked, the script changes that left margin to a positive 
number that will position it where you want it on the screen.

Again, see another list for information on how to make this JavaScript work.

[css-d] Safari with fieldset and float: left

2006-08-16 Thread Bill Moseley
In Safari this page:

http://hank.org/demos/fieldset.html

Looks like this:

http://hank.org/demos/safari.png

It's the float: left that seems to get the checkboxes out of the flow
of the fieldset.

Why doesn't the fieldset contain all the checkboxes?

[css-d] CSS-D list display problem

2006-08-16 Thread casmussen
Whether I display the most recent 40 messages or all messages for a month,
they are all dated December 7 or 8, 2005. This makes it hard to follow
threads and confusing when searching for the latest info. The View Month
drop-down shows the correct month/year. It's been doing this for more than a
month. Is this a problem I need to correct on my end? Thanks!

[css-d] layout inline elements in block

2006-08-16 Thread Peter Speltz
Hello wonderful list. I have a simple problem i think. I've tried for
an hour to get a good solution.  Basically i want a Heading bar that
has the Heading TEXT left justified and menu links right justified.
The number of links is unknown.  here is sample html:

h1 HEADING TEXT   span class=heading_menuul li item1 li
item2 ... /ul/span/h1

So it looks like:

HEADING TEXT
 item1  item2  item3

The best  solution I came up with is to set a big left margin on the
span . But this does not right justify or compensate well for a few
more menu items.   Can someone show me a dynamic solution?

Thank you.

Yes, that is a problem, which in my mind isn't a problem at all if one
do proper testing. After all: all designs should be able to take a fair
amount of font-resizing at the user-end, without breaking apart.
I personally test to 200% (or rather to destruction), regardless of
PPI/DPI.
Screen-resolution will only get higher, and all browsers will have to
adapt to that (one way or another). So do we.

Firstly, that's not valid HTML code. A block level element cannot sit
inside an inline element.

Better would be as follows:

h1Foo/h1
ul
  libar/li
  (etc)
/ul

To achieve the effect you want, you could try simpy floating the h1 left.

That's a good advice :-)
'Small screen rendering' is left a little behind in most cases.

Slightly wrong there though, as _screens_ will get both smaller and
larger, while /available/ _screen-resolution_ will only get higher. I
expect it to round off somewhere around 300PPI/DPI on normal screens,
but I wouldn't be surprised if small screens will get/have an even
higher resolution.

Re: [css-d] 3-col - Oposite floats vs. Negative margins

2006-08-16 Thread bj
I would like to ask the list of its view on which technique seems more
appropriate (read: trouble-free) for a large 3-column site with mostly
dynamic contents.

You didn't say which dynamic application you're using. If it's Wordpress any 
version from 2.0 on, I'd stay away from any of the negative margin layouts. For 
whatever reason the sidebar code for navigation in wordpress behaves badly in 
versions 2.0 and above. Why? I have no clue. But I've fought with it enough to 
know I don't wanna fight it anymore. Both Ryan Brill's layout and Jello 
Piefecta have been problematical with Wordpress sidebar code in the latest 
versions, and it seems to be tied in some fashion to the version of php 
installed on the server. Much past that I can't say.

If you are using Wordpress I suggest this layout here, which can be used for 
three column, or two column left or right nav. It's proven to be the most 
bulletproof and flexible for wordpress themes.

http://www.pixy.cz/blogg/clanky/css-3col-layout/


Good luck.

You didn't mention what browser you're using-- but I see the problem on 
IE6. I don't think it's your CSS, or even a whitespace issue (which was 
my first guess); it's something in your content DIV.

Run your page through the W3 validator (http://validator.w3.org/) and 
fix the bugs it reports. I think it'll clear the problem up.

Main thing what is going wrong is the absolute positioning of the div's.
Then the page cannot react on changings in window size and/or
resolution. - The font size setting in px (also absolute value) is
prohibiting the visitor to up- or downscale the font size in IE, if
wanted/needed.

Is this the kind of thing you mean? New testpage

Now we have to make a page ourselves before we can see what is the

Your page is behaving normally. You have a float (the div named banner 
making up Ms. Jones' image) that is, basically, pushing the page's other 
content to the right. When that div ends... no more pushing.

Two ideas:
1) Add a left margin to the h2 after the pic, like so:
h2 { margin-left: 240px; }

or (better option overall, imho)
2) Switch to a three-column layout. The portrait would be in the left 
column. A simple one wouldn't take too long, like the glish.com technique:
http://glish.com/css/7.asp

More 3-column layouts on the Wiki:
http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=ThreeColumnLayouts

let me know of any other problems you see.


Lots of empty ps and br /s in your code. Using margins or padding 
instead would give you more control, less unpredictability.

Adios,
Tim

[css-d] Dynamic pages - scrollbar issues in Mozilla/safari

2006-08-16 Thread MissVeeDub
Hello everyone, new to this list, and i would consider myself an
imtermediate css developer, and have already looked for an answer to this
issue, and have had to luck.

The issue is - my dynamic page (PHP) is loading in information on this page,
and thus because of the amount of information it is loading from the
database, this creates the need to scroll. However, the page scroll bars
were greyed out on first attempt.

I then added this code to my styles sheet to see if I could fix the issue,
and all it does is scroll the background:
html {  height: 100%; margin-bottom: 1px;  }
body { overflow: scroll; visibility: visible; height: 5000px; }

On this page: http://haitianartmasters.com/artist_list.php
I created a scrolling class that will work on a specific table or area of
content.
.scroll { height: 450px; overflow:scroll; }
But what i would like to do, is just have the page itself scroll, this way
when i get to the product pages they will just list out...Please keep in
mind that the pages work fine in IE and Maxthon.

If anybody has any information on this, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks in advance!

Re: [css-d] 3-col - Oposite floats vs. Negative margins

2006-08-16 Thread Gunlaug Sørtun
 [...] keep in mind that not everyone browses web sites with an actual
  browser as most of us think of browsers.  cell phone browsing, pda 
 browsing, and who-knows-what-else browsing won't go away either. 
 [/...]
 
 I think that makes an excellent point. We spend alot of time making
 sure it will work on e.g. screenreaders, although I believe the
 cellphone browsing audience is likely to be much larger. But to be
 honest, I wouldn't know how to fit a busy 3-column layout into a 1 x
 2 screen, no matter the number of PPI... Are there any guidelines or
 sketched out ideas yet on this?

Here are a few links:

...look for 'Special notes on handhelds' and 'the mobile browsers'.

Re: [css-d] Safari with fieldset and float: left

 It's the float: left that seems to get the checkboxes out of the flow
 of the fieldset.

 Why doesn't the fieldset contain all the checkboxes?

I see you already fixed it.

For the *why*: in Firefox and Opera, a fieldset establishes a new  
block formatting context [1], which, by definition, contains the  
floated objects/elements. Safari (and iirc Konqueror), iCab and  
iExploder don't do that. That is a bug in those browsers, imho.

For more on form controls and block formatting contexts, there is an  
interesting bug in Gecko's Bugzilla:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=342531
read through the comments for explanations and definitions.
Rendering of one the testcases as seen in a recent Gecko trunk build  
(what will be Firefox 3.0):

The following link may provide some insight. The article concerns itself
with divs but the same principles seem to apply.
