[css-d] A Fairly Complex Design Complete, wishing to implement using all CSS

2006-05-17 Thread Marc Funaro
Hi Everyone, We just received a final design for a new website, in Photoshop format. It looks good and meets the need... And it is fully approved by the client. Now, I could do what I've always done -- slice it up using Adobe ImageReady and output it as HTML/Tables. But I recently did an output

That's a pretty ordinary 'fixed-width 2-column layout with header and footer', well suited for floats and negative margins... http://www.alistapart.com/articles/negativemargins/ No need for that exact layout-method, but it is one of the most robust

Regarding my last post, I just found a fix that seems to work... I added min-height and tweaked the two containers to remain the right height to fill the bottom gap... But I don't know if this is acceptable or not. I have updated my online versions to use this new setting, but (anyone) let me

I have a page that, when viewed in IE on first load, shows some text. If I click away from IE and back again, the text ends up being the same color as the background (I can see it if I click-drag over the area), and only a shift-refresh causes it to appear again. Is this a specific bug with IE?
