I think their inclusion is a matter of opinion. Personally, I think they 
are distracting and unnecessary.

Float gets hooked up on element above - the menu - in IE.

Add...

div.sb_left_box {clear: left;}

...to make it line up in IE7, and an additional...

div.sb_left_box {display: inline; position: relative;}

...to fix the 'margin-doubling on floats' bug and assure over the edge
visibility in IE6, if you want to cater for that version.

[css-d] sidebar box does not line up correctly in ie7

[Scott Brasted]

Greetings,

This is the first time I have run into a situation where ie so blatantly 
ignores css. I read about it all the time, but I guess I do not ask too 
much of my css.

Anyway, I have two left float sidebars, one with a menu and one with a 
small text blurb. The text blurb does not line up o the left in ie7. It 
does in FF3. Firefox is what I am trying to achieve. I am just beginning 
this project and already I have a problem.

I do not know if anyone has can see my css without me posting it. I use 
an addin to FF to see css and source code. The address for the html is 
http://www.adriennesgardenworks.com/test.php. this is the only new page 
I am currently working on. the rest of the site is old and will be 
replaced. The css in a subdirectory called /css. Clever huh?

Anyway, I would appreciate any thoughts on why this is happening and 
what I can do about it.

Best,
--

In all likelihood it is the IE "duplicate character bug."
If you're lucky, removing comments in the markup may fix it-- otherwise 
it can get a little more difficult.
Please see this page for explanation and fix:

[css-d] IE6 peculiarity - need help to sort it

[Peter Hammarling]

I have a sample page for a client at

http://www.artworkers.net/sandd/chinbrk1.html

In IE6 only the text of the caption under the last thumbnail pic on  
the right is partly repeated underneath the first caption on the left.  
I imagine this is an IE6 bug but I cannot figure out what's causing  
the problem. Any help would be v appreciated.

the css is at

http://www.artworkers.net/sandd/main.css

and

[css-d] footer xhtml and css valid

[Brian Hazelton]

I have a web design company and was wondering if it is still common
practice to put the links to w3c in the footer if the pages validate for
xhtml and css...i was looking around some other professional sites, and
cannot see any that put that info in the footer...is this an outdated
practice?

[css-d] CSS Utility for unused styles...

[Michael Beaudoin]

I have inherited a site to work on that has a list of type styles a  
mile long. I would not think all are in use anymore, so is there a  
utility (preferably in Dreamweaver) that can look at a site and see  
which styles are NOT in use any longer so I can weed them out?

Re: [css-d] CSS Menu Over Many Web Pages in a Site

[designer]

Wayne,

I have used Dreamweaver libraries for some years now, and found them 
invaluable.  Google "dreamweaver libraries" and you'll get lots of hits. 
Here's one:

(picked at random).

Libraries will change your life!

Hi Wayne,

If you don't want to get crazy, first of all you need to use instruments
that let you design your structure (XHTML, XML or what else) "in one hit".
That means to use editors that let you define snippet of code to be re-used
as template (let's say Dreamweaver, for example) expecially if your site is
in pure XHTML; or you must use some programming language (PHP, ASP,...) to
define dynamically the structure of your pages, in this case of the menu.

Suppose to use PHP. You can define functions to create the XHTML of the menu
using instructions to make the menu behave in certain ways on second the
page of the site the user is visiting. For example, you can change the link
in the menu list into a simple item list in bold and without a link when the
user is on the page pointed by that link.

The CSS implementation is the last of your problems. If you plan your menu
functions well, the XHTML created will be filled with the necessary classes
and ids to use to make the presentation of the menu like you want to.
Anyway, even if it is not the subject of this discussion, in my opinion you
should avoid to create dropdown menus with one hundred of pages. If you
really need to have such a number of links and you can't split them into
smaller lists, then I think a menu list in a column is better.

This is just my opinion... but let you think to be the user of your web
site...

Bye.
