Re: [css-d] radio buttons waaaaaaaaaay to big in IE
Hi
Thanks Micky and Mark for fine the culprit, I had forget about this rule.
I'm using 100% in that so the body will always fill the entire page,
since min-height don't work in IE, and the js I had to fix that was
causing me some bugs.
I think I don't need them for all that elements I will check it and remove.
The css got a little more messed up than I really wanted, but this is
a late project, was due almost 2 weeks ago, I will beautify it after
everything is working.
Thanks for the answer.

Sure.
From: Micky Hulse [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Just quickly looking-over you code, I see this as a potential prob:
html, body, form, fieldset, select, a, input{
padding:0px;
margin:0px;
font:10px Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
color:#00;
height: 100%;
}
Micky was on the money I can confirm this is the culprit. Modifying
your body rule to the following:
html, body {
padding:0px;
margin:0px;
font:10px Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
color:#00;
height: 100%;
}
and viewing in Firefox through an ie tab resolves the issue. Like Micky
I didn't take an in-depth look at your code, but is there any particular
reason you are using height:100% on the body? If the answer is no then
remove that also, since, unless you're experimenting with sticky footers
or vertical/horizontal centering, it's generally not required. Also,
10px for a body rule is rather small, and just as a FYI, the following
might prove an interesting read if you have the time.

Re: [css-d] Fixed back to top tab at bottom of screen
not a css question, but what that button does is redirect you back to the same page and put you into position to view the bookmark (which is the # sign). for example if yahoo wanted to put such a link on their main page, it would look like http://yahoo.com/#;. that # sign is the start of a bookmark, and would look something like http://yahoo.com/#recentnews; if it was used normally. clicking on that link would then take make the top of your viewing area show the element on the page with the id of recentnews, such as h1 id=recentnews. that's it! to do the same thing with a little javascript, it would look something like a onclick=window.scrollTo(0, 0)[Back to Top]/a __ 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/

[css-d] z-index relative positioning
I'm wondering if the z-index is so inconsistent among different browsers that I should quit working with it and use another strategy to accomplish what I am trying to do. I have an image that I want to overlap the background image below it. I could make just one image but then I would have to make a unique image for every time I want to use that round-corner background and it would also add to the download size of every page. I started out by using a negative bottom margin and that worked just fine in Opera and Firefox but not IE6. I then tried the z-index but that didn't help IE6. I then switched to relative positioning and with the z-index I got it to work in Opera and IE6 but not in Firefox. Is there a good tutorial on this that tells how to hack the different browsers?

[css-d] Floats getting hung up on previous row height differences
I am trying to create a table of contents where each entry consists of an image and some text to the right. I have a liquid layout so the number of entries in each row will vary. If a previous row has a short entry, because the image was smaller, the succeeding row will start under the short entry rather than at the beginning of the row. http://www.sandsmuseum.com/test/testcss3.html includes css and has been tidy'd and validated. I know I can put a huge height on the container but I am not sure what the maximum size is going to be. I also worry, perhaps needlessly about browser compatibility when specifying heights. I want the div's to flow, creating nice full rows (and columns,) without using tables of course... As a side issue, I prefer the text not float around the image but rather have the text appear as a single column. Is there an easy way to make this happen. I tried adding a huge bottom margin to the image to discourage text floating but that just added to the height and caused the rows to have a huge space between them. I am sure there is an easy answer and do not know why I am blocked, he says with a wry smile.

[css-d] A newbie's first enounter with IE css bugs
Greetings, css-d I've recently started working on a new website design for the lab I work for. I'm not very experienced as a web designer, particularly in the use of CSS, but I've been studying and experimenting a lot for the past several weeks. I've finally got something that looks decent in firefox, but has some annoying display problems in IE. I've been researching as much as I can of the information available online about IE's various css bugs, and I suspect my problems stem from the 3px float error and boxes that grow when they're not supposed to, but I'm having trouble working out how exactly these bugs and their workarounds apply in my particular case. The development version of my site design is being served at: http://clml.uchicago.edu:8081/ Hopefully the source is fairly readable. The css file is at http://clml.uchicago.edu:8081/static/css/main.css I would be most grateful if any of you could take a look at it and make any suggestions. In particular, I've noticed the following things get screwed up in IE: - the main content box (with the white background) is for some reason not flush with the menu to its left (as it is in firefox), and thus does not line up with the orange header and footer. - the blue div which runs horizontally across the field grows taller as the window resizes, whereas it is supposed to keep a fixed height (as it does in firefox). - the main content box doesn't respect its minimum height in IE I'm aware that PNGs don't render with transparency in IE, so I'll get around to fixing the logo by converting to a gif. Also, if you're curious, i'm rounding the corners of the header and footer in javascript (with MochiKit). Thanks for any assistance.

Simplest fix is to adjust the backside margin on the floating menu in
IE6 (and older)...
* html div#menu {margin-right: -3px;}
- the blue div which runs horizontally across the field grows taller
as the window resizes, whereas it is supposed to keep a fixed height

IE6 doesn't respect given dimensions.
Only fix is to hide the overflow first - which prevents the element from
growing, and then make the overflow visible again.
Such a fix can only work in IE/win, since it is relying on IE-bugs to
fix IE-bugs. Will also only work if the other elements can be relative
positioned - which isn't always the case.
No problems when added to _your_ page.
* html div#crossbox {overflow: hidden;}
* html div#crossbox * {position: relative;}
- the main content box doesn't respect its minimum height in IE
Make use of the fact that IE6 doesn't respect given dimensions. It'll
work to your advantage here.
* html #content {height: 350px;}

Generally: font-size isn't fixed in any browser - despite the use of
pixels, so it would be wise to change the element-dimensioning slightly

[css-d] Scrollable TABLE?
I have a DIV that defines a content well in a three - column layout.
Within my content DIV, I have a TABLE whose width, data-wise, I won't
be able to control. I would like to be able to have my table be
horizontally scrollable based on whether or not the data to be displayed
is wider than the content well.
So far I've tried:
table#spreadsheet_contents {
width: 100%;
overflow: scroll;
}
which doesn't work in either FF or IE.
Do I have to abandon the table and construct the table out of DIVs in
order to do this?
Or should I use a frame perhaps?
Thanks,

Re: [css-d] Newbie seeking layout examples to study
I've been working for about 2 days straight trying to get a fairly straightforward alignment set up (left navigation top header that runs the width of the page starting after left nav middle part of page (under header) right side of page (narrow margin) and footer) Hi Anne: Are you going for fixed width or fluid? I started to show you some of the things I did but not sure if it fits what you want. I've learned a great deal and perused many sites and bought 2 books - but still can't get it right. I would like to know if someone can point me to some sites that have a basic 3 column layout with header and footers where I can study the code? Thank you! In my mind, what you describe in your first paragraph would work with a two column layout. but maybe i'm not understanding. If I'm understanding what you want, its not particularly easy to find. Most sites, it seems have a header that stretches all the way across, then content (two or three columns) then a footer. Here's one I did recently (actually not even finished yet) that I think is what you're saying and its two columns, http://www.maineddc.org/about.htm The menu could easily go in what I'm calling the firstcolumn. So thought maybe this might help. best Donna -- Donna Jones Portland, Maine 207 772 0266 http://www.westendwebs.com/ __ 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/

3px jog bug. Simplest fix is to adjust the backside margin on the
floating menu in IE6 (and older)...
* html div#menu {margin-right: -3px;}
Aha - I had tried making the content box's margin-left -3px, but that
alone did not work. Neither did your suggestion by itself -- but
both of them together seem to have fixed it.
May I clear that one up a bit in case someone is looking for similar
fixes. There's _more than one_ IE-bug involved here, and that may add a
bit of confusion about the whole thing.
Of course both fixes were needed, since the 3px jog can be seen as
added to the left margin of #content. A 'margin-left: 150px' + '3px jog'
will result in _153px distance_ from the left edge of #page, and IE6
can't go below that.
However, you _had_ already reduced the left margin on #content below the
danger-zone - IE had 'margin-left: 148px' while others had
'margin-left: 150px', so clearly I didn't have to add it in.
What's _really_ important is that you also have a 'width: 70%' declared
on #content, which acts as a 'hasLayout'[1] trigger in IE. This
transfers the 3px jog onto the entire 'Layout box', and is usually seen
as a 3px jog fix.
Triggering 'hasLayout' also has the effect that #content no longer needs
its left margin to rest on, and the left margin on #content can
therefore just as well be set to zero the way IE/win sees it.
Not even a ridiculous value of 'margin-left: -3000px' on #content will
make a difference in IE6, since it won't let that '3px jog gap' become
less than 3px anyway.
The real fix is the pulled-in backside margin on the floating #menu
that #content is lining up against - since the 3px jog is still there,
and that's what is achieved by this...
* html div#menu {margin-right: -3px;}
...which simply lets the 3px jog occupy some of the floating menu's
space. However, this fix can only work when there's nothing else that
creates a distance in addition to the 3px jog bug.

Re: [css-d] Newbie seeking layout examples to study
I would like to know if someone can point me to some sites that have a basic 3 column layout with header and footers where I can study the code? Thank you! I missed the earlier part of this thread, but try the layout gala: http://blog.html.it/layoutgala/ If you want a better explanation and further insight then the following might help: http://alistapart.com/articles/negativemargins http://alistapart.com/articles/holygrail HTH Mark -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by ISPNZ's automated virus detection system, and is believed to be clean. __ 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/
[css-d] IE fieldset background bug
I can't find this one in the wiki...
With default browser positioning of legend (straddling the border)
IE6 seems to paint the background of fieldset above its border, up
to the top of the legend.
body {background-color:#fff;}
fieldset.basketholder {border: 1px solid #aaa; margin-bottom: 1.5em;
padding:0; background-color: #eee; color:#000;}
.basketholder legend {border: 1px solid #aaa; padding: 3px 5px;
background-color: #fff; font-weight: bold;
margin-left:0;margin-right:0;
}
applying the background colour to a child of fieldset also fails as
that starts 0.5em below the top border of fieldset.
Are there any workarounds for this (other than forgoing either the
border or the background colour?

It's not actually a background bug, but rather an offset built into the
entire construction in IE/win. I have studied it, but not needed a fix
often enough to bother about all the details and documenting it.

I've found the following to work quite well in IE6...
@media screen {
* html legend {
margin: -24px 0 0 0;
position: fixed;
line-height: 1.4;
}
}
...which will simply correct, or counter-act, the margin on legend
that's causing the problem in IE. Values must of course be tuned
slightly to the actual case.
Note that this fix also make use of the fact that IE6 doesn't properly
understand 'position: fixed', so the the entire hack is needed to make
sure no other browser ever see this fix.
