 Please accept my apologies. My only excuse is to point to cultural
 differences, as this example is from a mainstream online newspaper, no
 different from any other newspaper (including print) here in Norway. Thus it
 didn't cross my mind, although I will in the future.

[css-d] How do you determine the CSS version ?

2006-10-06 Thread Mike
Hi,
I have a basic question:
how do you determine which CSS version it is when it is not specified neither 
in the
CSS files  and the HTML headers ?
I have several CSS files, it would be nice to tell if it is CSS1 or CSS2.
Thanks !

Re: [css-d] How do you determine the CSS version ?

2006-10-06 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I thought css1 was a subset of css2.0, and that css2.1 was a slight 
modification of css2.0, and in fact a replacement for css2.0

Is it more complicated that that?

Isn't it true that the browsers have only a single CSS 'engine'?  and 
that they vary their process only depending upon the html dtd that 
triggers quirks mode in certain situations?

 It would be courteous to provide a note of some sort before linking to
 samples with explicit or pornographic content

 Please accept my apologies. My only excuse is to point to cultural
 differences, 

Nothing to apologize for, except that the only nudity was that of a guy. 
Americans aren't big on that.

Whether Americans are big on one kind of nudity or not (and what was described 
above was not all I saw) some people access their CSS-D account from work. 

Accessing pornography, as defined by any given company policy (depends on the 
person's workplace, I mean) from company computers can be grounds for dismissal 
from said job. 

It would be truly tragic for someone to /lose their job/ because they were 
trying to help you with a CSS problem, and accessed your uncensored website 
from work. 

Simply saying that the content may not be work friendly or indicating that it 
may be more adult or mature than is acceptable for work would give those 
who must be careful to abide by company policy an indication that they 
shouldn't visit your website while using sensitive/monitored computers. 

In the future, I recommend a code word, like Continenatal version for 
pictures with nudity.

Mature content or not work (or child!) friendly would be easier to decipher 
as to meaning than Continenatal version which seems rather obscure (assuming 
Continental was meant) as I'm sure almost all of us live on continents.

Not sure you are going to be pleased with my response.

You need to go back to the beginning and develop some proper CSS and get the
layout to work in Firefox first.

You can always just use an image instead of the Flash in order to develop
the layout.

Validate the HTML (currently a whole bunch of
errors -http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Flive.thenyxl.com%2F)
and then check if works in IE6. This is not a very complicated site so no
reason that it shouldn't

Then put in the Flash (if you must).

See the article on Alistapart.com for validating Flash (not for this forum).

Cheers

Ian

No 'clever' workaround that I can think of, just coming up with a

as to workaround i've personally used, it's ugly/stupid and not all
that useful.  let's say i have something like the following:
body class=default
div class=series expanded
/div
/body

in my css then i have:
.series.expanded {
border: 1px solid #77aaee;
}

/* ie6 \*/
* html .default div.expanded {
background: #f6f9fe;
border: 1px solid #77aaee;
padding-top: 0;
}/* */

i know it's primative and almost useless, and it for sure won't work
in every situation.  it limps ie6 along with me though until i can
delete the ie6 code forever once it's finally dead.  if anyone wants
to jump in with a better workaround i'm *more* than willing to change
my hacking, but if you don't have a better/different way, there's no
need to tell me how stupid my workaround is.  trust me i already know.

anyway, that's all i have.  i look forward to seeing what other people do.

[css-d] Solution for Vertically Centering Image. WAS: image gallery

2006-10-06 Thread Eystein Alnaes
To bring this thread back on track, I've come up with what I think is a nice
solution for my earlier problem. I put up a page with a stripped down
solution here:
http://www.eystein.no/test/vertical_centering/verticallycentering.html

And the finished gallery example here:
http://www.eystein.no/test/bildegalleri/samleside4.html

And it should be perfectly safe to view it :)

I believe this would help someone, as it took me 2 days of digging around,
even testing javascript solutions. Vertical alignment is still problematic,
much thanks to IE... Luckily my javascript skills are so bad I ended up with
a css solution :P

In reference to your uri and off-list reply to me:

padding-left: 5%;
padding-right: 5%;

body {
text-align: center; add
}
#wrapper {

You'll need to re-adust a little in ie, but (I think) you'll be in the

And others on the list may have a better solution.

[css-d] Positioning of a container DIV containing images and text

2006-10-06 Thread Andrew May
I am new to all this so please be gentle.

I have a simple two-column design using floating DIVs with a navigation bar
on the left hand side and main content on the right. All works fine
_except:_

I have a requirement to have some images with text to the right where, if
the text takes less height than the image the next bit of text will be
placed under the image – or next to the next image. I have solved this by
wrapping the text and image in a DIV with a couple of spacers to force
subsequent text past the image:

  div class=container
div class=spacernbsp;/div
img class=float src=two.jpg alt=Image 2 /
Text
div class=spacernbsp;/div
  /div

This works fine in a plain page but when used within the pagetext DIV of my
layout it forces the whole container DIV down below the navigation bar.

This is all illustrated here: http://www.girton.ukfsn.org/css/demo.html

I’ve reached the end of my Googling ability – probably because I am not too
sure what to Google for. Can anyone throw some light on what I might be
doing wrong?

Many Thanks,

Andrew

Re: [css-d] [SPAM] Re: Div not displaying in IE

2006-10-06 Thread David Phipps
OK, I have managed to get the forms to display by applying position: 
relative to the floated elements however,

If you look at this page now:

http://www.methodist.org.uk/conference/htmlpages/clients.htm

You will see that the form fields are aligning to the right of their div.

The divs are setup as follows:

#clientform {}
#clientform div.row {padding: 10px; margin: 5px 0 5px 0;}
#clientform div.row label {float: left; width: 250px; text-align: right; 
padding: 0 5px 0 0; position: relative;}
#clientform div.row span.formw {float: left; width: 150px; text-align: left; 
position: relative; border: 1px dashed red;}

I have added the border to the last row to highlight the problem seen in 
IE on XP.  FF works on both OS X and XP.

Any ideas why the form fields are aligning to the right?

Many thanks,

Dave

 Both the html and css validate however on IE on XP the left hand 
 navigation is hidden?
   
 Add...
 #leftnav {position: relative;}
 ...and IE-win will come to its senses and render the navigation.

 Then you should change font-size/line-height units to avoid 
 overlapping when the page is subjected to enforced font-resizing in 
 IE-win.

[css-d] IE nav list improperly displaying

2006-10-06 Thread David A. Ensor
I've been playing with this for 2 days; I can't seem to find a combination
that IE likes.

 

My dilemma is that the top navigation works fine in Firefox, but doesn't in
IE (surprised!?).  Here are some examples with explanation:

 

Hacked for quasi-fix in IE:

http://www.muohio.edu/ims/v3/test.php

http://www.muohio.edu/ims/v3/menus.css

(Pretty much the same as below, just added one line:  #p8P/Mnav li
{width:auto; }. )

The problem with setting the width is the spacing between the text and the
south arrows looks stupid.  If I float the LI A {}, then all sub-menus go
crazy.

 

Original which works in Firefox but not IE:

http://www.muohio.edu/ims/v3/test2.php

http://www.muohio.edu/ims/v3/menus2.css

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks,

 

Dave

If that overlapping is an acceptable solution, then I think this

#contentwrapper {overflow: hidden; overflow-y: visible;}

you want IE to behave like Firefox on really narrow windows, although
some overlapping will then occur.

Brilliant! That also solved another problem I was noticing of some extra 
pixels of the image showing to the right of my Recent Cases box when it 
overlapped. Now it doesn't show, and it works the same way in IE and Firefox.

Thanks so much for your help!

P.S. TopStyle didn't recognize overflow-y. I took it out and it didn't 
seem to effect anything negatively.

[css-d] CSS sidebar question

2006-10-06 Thread Peggy Coats
I've got a new page in progress:

http://ambientglow.com/RV/sample.html

What I want to do is have the vertical colored sidebar, which is set up as a
separate div, automatically size itself to the same height as the Content
div (where all the text is). At the moment I just have a height specified of
500px as a placeholder so the sidebar will show.

The CSS is here: http://ambientglow.com/RV/css/inside.css

Any idea how I can do this?  I'm still new to this -- do I need to make it
relative vs. absolute positioning? Or...?

Re: [css-d] nesting / specificity problem

2006-10-06 Thread Dave Pierce
Sam simply stated:

 I've got a test page at:
 http://www.sam-i-am.com/work/sandbox/components/nested_containers.html

 It shows some tests I'm doing with nesting containers. I'm trying to
 define some container styles that will work nested one in the other
 (to a reasonable, arbitrary depth e.g. 4 or 5).

 The markup for each container type will be uniform, I've used a P here
 to indicate the problem - when containers are nested, there's some
 abiguity:

 ..panel1 .container-type1 p {
   background-color: cyan;
 }
 ..panel1 .container-type2 p {
   background-color: blue;
 }

 when a .container-type1 is nested in a container-type2, both rules
 could apply. My understanding was that proximity would win out, so a P
 in a container-type1, nested in a container-type2 would pick up its
 background-color from its nearest container - container-type1. But not
 so...

 Weirder still, when I increase specificity, seen in the 2nd panel  
 like so:
 ..panel2 .container-type2 .container-type1 p {
   background-color: pink; /* this isnt working. */
 }
 ..panel2 .container-type1 .container-type2 p {
   background-color: purple;
 }

Sam,

It looks to me like your second statement is overriding the first.

In the first statement, you've designated panel 2, both types of  
containers, to have pink backgrounds.
In the second statement, you've designated panel two, both  
containers, to have a purple background.

Also, remember that the p will be recognized by CSS as controlling  
your p paragraphs. I think that means that the paragaph color is  
overriding any desired color callouts.
Instead of marking the problem items with a letter, you should  
probably use a /*comment*/

Not sure if that means anything, or if I'm right...I'm no expert,  
just a beginner.

Re: [css-d] suckerfish dropdown safari problem

 When I roll over first

 CASE STUDIES

 PARTNERS

 CASE STUDIES stays in orange, because he thinks I'm over or he did not
 understand that I moved my mouse.

 Tell me if I'm right or wrong.

Thanks Luis. That's appears right when I go and look at it. Maybe I  
need to play with the positioning and z-index values.

  Hi All,
 
  I am having trouble with my drop down menu in Safari (v2.0.4) and am
  hoping someone can help. It was built based on the son of suckerfish
  menu at htmldog. It works fine in FF and IE but Safari is adding
  extra pixels to the drop down width when you hover over drop down  
 links.
 
  The page in question is at http://www.smartpath.com.au/indexNew.php
 
 
 I think that the problem is the four grey (hover orange) boxes and  
 it's
 a similar when you uses swf files.
 Safari thinks that flash is always on top and he forgets to  
 redesign the
 page when you mouse out the zone.

Re: [css-d] nesting / specificity problem

2006-10-06 Thread sam foster
My goal is to allow the container context to style my P, but not
inherit different styling when that container is nested in a different
one


  ..panel2 .container-type2 .container-type1 p {
background-color: pink; /* this isnt working. */
  }
  ..panel2 .container-type1 .container-type2 p {
background-color: purple;
  }
 It looks to me like your second statement is overriding the first.

 In the first statement, you've designated panel 2, both types of
 containers, to have pink backgrounds.

No. I've said that a P inside a container-type1 inside a
container-type2 inside a panel2 should be pink.
Whereas...
A P inside a container-type2 that is inside a container-type1 inside a
panel2 should be purple.

 Instead of marking the problem items with a letter, you should
 probably use a /*comment*/

Lost you here. 'p' is the element selector for the p element. Maybe
my example isnt clear. Thanks for taking a look though.

This is an awesome method! I use it all the time. ;-)

I had a question about using empty span tags to get it to work in IE6. 
What bug is this triggering? I've found instances in the past for no-use 
spans fixing IE problems, but right now, I can't find any documentation 
on it.

I'm just wanting to know what makes this work and what is causing the 
problem.
How did you figure it out?

Thanks!

[css-d] gap in IE6 only

2006-10-06 Thread Maren Child
In Internet Explorer 6, this page has a huge gap at the top of the 
content. The other pages, which have the same header, footer and 
navigation (all in external files) don't have the gap. I can't figure 
out what the difference is. The html and css validate. Can anyone see 
what the difference is in the 'Science writing' page that's causing that 
gap?

To bring this thread back on track, I've come up with what I think is a nice
solution for my earlier problem. I put up a page with a stripped down
solution here:
http://www.eystein.no/test/vertical_centering/verticallycentering.html

And the finished gallery example here:
http://www.eystein.no/test/bildegalleri/samleside4.html

And it should be perfectly safe to view it :)
  

Only problem in the gallery example is client side font-scaling, then 
the text is climbing out of the boxes. - But no worry if you place the 
text outside of the dia's.

I believe this would help someone, as it took me 2 days of digging around,
even testing javascript solutions. Vertical alignment is still problematic,
much thanks to IE... Luckily my javascript skills are so bad I ended up with
a css solution :P

Hi Eystein,
Good work!

When I searched for getting an image of unknown size in a liquid size 
container with painted corners/borders around, I encountered similar 
problems with IE (no wonder). The standards compliant solution didn't 
work in IE, with css only I got halfway (fixed width, liquid height), 
and for a 100% IE proof solution I had to escape to a 1 cell table. - 
Anyway, no javascript either. :-)
See testpages starting here 
http://home.tiscali.nl/developerscorner/liquidcorners/liquid-corners-playgarden-09a.htm.

But who knows, maybe a combination can be made with your solution; just 
find time to experiment ...

Greetings,
francky

 The #wrapper can carry that background-image, so no changes to the

 I have only set #Side-Services to 'display: none' (since I am
 lazy), but you can take that #Side-Services sidebar-div out of the HTML
 since it doesn't really have a purpose.
 The added background on #Nav-Services covers the sidebar-decoration, or
 you can leave #Nav-Services transparent and see the decoration go up to
 the #banner.
 Many choices...

copyright div id to 100% width so I am not sure why this is happening:

errors.
