I'll tread very lightly here, Sarah. There seems to be a lot of styles
that are either redundant or conflicting. I did not examine them with
any rigor, it is a first impression. Also, it looks like you are linked
to five different external style sheets. Are they all necessary? There
may be conflicts between/among them that would be hard to track down.

Those have to do with Wordpress Plugins... Some of the plugins auto load their 
own stylesheets.
Wordpress is a decent CMS but it does have issues with massive amounts of 
loaded files and it makes a mess of CSS files and JS files.

They arn't there they are put in there on the server before it serves the file. 
They are called and the header html is compiled with the get_header() function. 
This looks at all the loaded plugins and installs the necessary files. As well 
as the header info I put into the header.php file.
I could uninstall the plug ins but then nothing would work.
Right now I have 5 plugins installed.
One for SEO (it's whats throwing the BB errors.) It allows our content person 
to manage meta data, and she used the ''.
One for Magic-fields - in the back end it lets me create panels for items.. For 
instance they get a new friend for the friends page. I created a panal in tools 
for them to select new friend and then they fill out some data and whala the 
content of the page just changed without me even having to no about it. It is 
also probably the most important plugin I have.
Then there is the Contact Forms- again they can change any of it If a month 
from now they find they need a new bit of info then it can be added by them.
There is also one for shadowbox. It has all the needed JS and integrates it 
into the back end of wordpress. It is very file intensive but looks realy nice 
and we use it a lot.
The last is Google Analytics.

And then there is wordpress itself... It is a monster but it does separate 
content from presentation.

Can you remove the link rel=stylesheet... references from your HTML
documents?

2010-03-19 Thread Atkinson, Sarah
I think I got the giant white box fixed... I added display: block and position: 
relative; to a few divs then I had to change the z-index on a couple of other 
items to compensate. This caused a couple of other problems to develop in 
safari but I think I have got it.

  http://test.grantstinn.com/

Hello Sarah,

In IE6, I am not seeing what I would call a giant white box in the
above sample page.

I do see two issues.

1) The png images are not displayed properly. This is a common problem
with IE6. There are known methods for handling png in IE6. Me, I'm a
coward. I just use gif and jpg.

2) There is a 10 px margin between the light brown background content
box and the darker brown border like line.

For me, given my attitude about folks still using IE 6 in the light of
current hyper-security risks, I would just pretend that I wanted the
10px margin at the bottom of the page. And let the IE6 users have a
slightly different viewer experience. If this is a job for a client
try browbeating them into upgrading to IE8 grin.

Given the ultra weirdness of Wordpress/Addon css handling. I would try
saving the document onto your hard-drive using something like the
Firefox save complete document.

Then you can edit the page removing stuff bit by bit until you isolate
the problem without the extra complexity of potential cross
interactions between different style sheets.

If your giant white box is a different effect than I am seeing in my
particular IE6, perhaps you could point to an image displaying the
behavior.

Regards,
Claude

[css-d] bemstrongi tags

2010-03-05 Thread Atkinson, Sarah
I know these tags are considered to be Presentational in type and there for 
avoided in semantic markup but I still like to use them in a semantic way. To 
me it seems practical is some content is important or different from content 
around it it should have different markup around it regardless of how it looks. 
There are tags for acronyms and abbreviations, but what if something is just 
more important or different? Granted they are not perfect for every situation.

You can style them in the CSS however you want... In fact I use Myer's reset 
CSS which pretty much removes default styles from them.

Usually I just flip back and forth between the em and b. I like the  em 
because it makes since if something is more important then it has Emphasis. But 
I also like the b because I'm very lazy and like 1 letter tags.

Re: [css-d] bemstrongi tags

2010-03-05 Thread Atkinson, Sarah
When I use the em the idea is that I would never want to just change some of 
their appearance. I would want all of them to appear different in the same 
manner unless maybe they were inside something else that conflicted with that 
style.
So my CSS just looks like
Em{
some-property: something;
}

Or
.some class em{
some-property: something;
}


On 3/5/10 3:51 PM, Mark Wonsil won...@4m-ent.com wrote:

Skip after Sarah:
 I do consistently use em for emphasis and reserve i for foreign language
 words. And cite for book titles. But since this is a CSS list, all I'll
 say is that CSS offers little here unless you decide you prefer to boldface
 book titles or something like that. This really is about markup not
 appearance.

But if you ever wanted to change the appearance of all foreign words,
you're now on a search-and-replace mission where if you mark it up to
begin with, you can change it in one line.

Even if you have two versions of em, you can add a class to make
them the same or different.

em vs. em class=veryImportant

FWIW,

Mark W.

Re: [css-d] Amazing CSS

Pretty simple realy
They are just images that are then in a div with the background color of white. 
At the bottom of the div is a span with a background image with a transparent 
png that gives it the shadow.

At least that Is how I'm guessing it Is done he's hiding a lot of his stuff.

Re: [css-d] Is there such a thing as a sub class (in css not society)

2009-07-23 Thread Atkinson, Sarah
U can set multiple  style classes to an item. Also u can use the  
cascade. So u can set styles for all of the .thisHead And then set  
styles that are only for .pullout .thisHead

wrote:

 I want to rationalise my css so that I am not continually inventing
 classes when I want to create a new effect.

 Today I have created a 'pullout' class which has a head, image and  
 body.

 I don't want to use an H? because I don't know where that element is
 going to sit in a document and I don't want to have to undo any styles
 set previously.

 So I have .thisHead and .thisImg which are not styled explicitly but
 within their context, e.g. .pullout .thisHead {}. This means I have to
 re-style .thisHead whenever it belongs to a different parent but at
 least I don't have to invent a new class name.

 So far so good. But now I have a 'comment' class which follows a set
 format except its width changes depending whether it is a short or
 medium length.

 So I tried class=comment wide but that doesn't work because .wide is
 not set explicitly, only within another style. The alternative is to
 have a narrowComment class and a wideComment class because a wide  
 class
 with a set width means it can only apply to a 'comment' element.

 I've used .larger and .smaller in the past but I have to specify the
 increment which gives me no flexibility.

 It would be simpler if I were dealing with IDs because I could style  
 my
 #comment and add a .wide class and then specify the style for #comment
 .wide in my style sheet.

 But 'Comment' is not an object, its a type.

 So, in effect, I'm looking for a sub class. Does this make sense and  
 is
 there a logical solution that's portable and not too exotic?

[css-d] Creating your own stylesheet for a website

2009-05-01 Thread Atkinson, Sarah
I go to a website fairly regularly and their styles are horrible. It's just too 
painful for me to look at anymore. Is there away for me to create a Stylesheet 
for it and have my browser automatically override there styles? I know to many 
of you this might sound horrible but don't worry no designers feelings will get 
hurt... I'm sure that no designers were used in making the site.

Re: [css-d] css3 selectors

2009-03-26 Thread Atkinson, Sarah

 You should use h* elements instead of p elements for any kind of
 header.  You might then not need to specify any classes and it's more
 semantically correct
 What I'm going for is to take the bottom margin off of a paragraph
 preceding a list.  I don't need the list to be styled any
 differently, so there's no reason to target it at all.

Scott has a valid point here. Maybe this is the way you should be doing it.
Also is it possible to make up ones own elements? That's sorta what XML is
right? If you could do that then you can style it just like a p or h1 tag.

Re: [css-d] Strange lack of hover effect on BOTH IE6 and IE7

2009-03-16 Thread Atkinson, Sarah
I think you can't do that in ie. You can only use hover to effect the  
a and not the img tags. Try taking out the img tag in the Css. The  
style should cascade down to the img anyway.

 In IE, NOTHING happens when you hover over the small GIF image - which
