Re: [css-d] What's your preference -- fluid, elastic, or fixed?

HI,

Just found an article about this:

 I hear what you're saying regarding fixed widths and wide screens

 I wonder about long-term with fluid layouts and increasing screen
 size is how to scale content when you've got someone using a gigantic
 monitor (can you visualize one-line articles stretching across three
 feet of screen real estate?)

 This is exactly why 'hybrid' layouts, IMO, need to be developed to  
 cater for the problem trio of line-length, variable width, and  
 variable text size. For example, I've tried to achieve a readable  
 variable width on my homepage with the use of fixed-width (relative  
 to font-size, of course) floats. The wider the browser window, and  
 the smaller the text size, the more 'columns' are displayed.

 There's a short write-up here:
 http://www.fiveminuteargument.com/blog/a-flexible-homepage-layout

 This is the kind of thing that, I hope, the column properties in  
 CSS3 will make a lot cleaner (one disadvantage is that box heights  
 have to be fixed too, and that's difficult to do nicely for variable  
 text length). I'm sure there are other mechanisms in which  
 properties and layout techniques can be combined, as 'hybrid'  
 layouts, to address all 3 problems. I think either David or Georg  
 posted a good message to that effect here a few months ago.

Hi David,

IE6 applies these rules to the H1 A:
( from IE Developer Toolbar, View, Source, Dom:Element+Styles)

/* Rule 6 of ../../yar/css/style.css */
H1 A {
  BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none
  }

/* Rule 27 of ../../yar/css/style.css */
.c A {
  BORDER-RIGHT: medium none;
  BORDER-TOP: medium none;
  FONT-WEIGHT: bold;
  PADDING-BOTTOM: 1px;
  BORDER-LEFT: medium none;
  COLOR: #777;
  BORDER-BOTTOM: #eee 1px solid;
  TEXT-DECORATION: none;
  outline-width: 0
}

 So the BORDER-BOTTOM: #eee 1px solid;   wins.

best
Ingo

Ingo, it took your sound advice, and consultation with the GodFather, to 
get ie/6.0 to obey.

html: added class .c1
h1a class=c1 href= alt= width= height=//a/h1
css:
* html h1 a.c1  { border: none!important;}

Thanks,
Guido
