The content you have in there can easily be classified as _tabular data_, which calls for a proper _HTML TABLE_. But ... what HTML elements you choose to use is not a CSS problem :-) I'd go a step further and say the pricelists should/must be marked as proper tables. With the current markup there is no connection between one item and it's price in non-visual browsers and looking at it with increased font-size. I find this problem quite often and its pretty annoying. greetings Susanne -- http://sujag.de - Webentwicklung und -beratung susjae...@sujag.de Christinenstr. 36, 10119 Berlin, Tel: 030 - 443 241 73 __ css-discuss [css-d@lists.css-discuss.org] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
[css-d] fluid layout with irregular shapes - what techniques are available for us today ?
Hello all, I have this irregular layout that needs to be done: --- HEADER HERE --/-_-_--- --~~---/''' FOOTER --- So: /-_-_ and ~'''~ and /''' are fancy things that the layout have. Some of them are curves. Visually, this seems that one div is overlapping the other div and have irregular shapes. One possible solution is to crop images in a way that the end of one div glues with the beginning of another div, giving the impression that they are one solo unit. Another possible yet incredibly laborious solution would be to draw this all thing with CSS polygonon like the frog on css-tricks. I'm totally new to this irregular challenges and my question is: What techniques exist that allow us to accommodate the irregular nature of a given layout with a fluid layout choice ? k. regards, mem __ css-discuss [css-d@lists.css-discuss.org] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/

Re: [css-d] fluid layout with irregular shapes - what techniques are available for us today ?
Hello again, Thanks for the feedback. Here is the URL containing the layout : http://www.tiikoni.com/tis/view/?id=a4f3585 I was thinking about: 1) doing some crops on those irregular shapes. 2) make use of background image property. 3) make sure the crops are much more wider in order to accommodate higher resolutions. May this be a good approach ? Or should I be brave and go for some sort of sliding doors technique ? I see nothing else to do here. Please note: I don't care if IE7 and earlier versions aren't targeted. A mobile version was not purchased by the client so, we don't have that need here. Thanks a lot. k. regards, mem On May 18, 2012, at 1:23 , David Laakso wrote: On Thu, May 17, 2012 at 3:09 PM, mem talofo.l...@gmail.com wrote: What techniques exist that allow us to accommodate the irregular nature of a given layout with a fluid layout choice ? k. regards, mem Most all of us face that situation on a daily basis particularly if the need at-hand is to hit desktop, high-dpi laptop, tablet, and and an assortment of various mobile-handsets from one address.
