Re: [css-d] z-index doesn't work with relative items in FF?

2005-11-09 Thread Rob Agar
hi I just wish I could figure out if a) FF is sticking to the letter of the W3C description (which is illogical) or b) FF is actually incorrect and IE is correct for once. I haven't looked at the example, but I would be willing to bet a fairly substantial sum on the former :) The

Re: [css-d] annoying blue background in IE around my png images

hi Gale What's happening is, IE places a light blue background around my images. These are png files. Looks to me like the problem IE has rendereing transparent PNGs. There's an article about it with a workaround at http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1759,1645331,00.asp hth Rob

Re: [css-d] can this behavior be beaten out of IE

2005-12-15 Thread Rob Agar
hi Lori Is there any way to get IE6 to honor the css attribute 'min-width', or a way to script, hack or cheat some version of it? As it happens, I was reading* about a way of doing this yesterday. The trick was to use a javascript expression in the css, which IE apparently supports. e.g

I'd say it's probably caused by a margin on the first element. You could try setting h2 margin: 0; dunno if it's FF or IE at fault here, but I know which one I'd bet on :) Rob -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of dann s washko Sent:

RE: [css-d] A Pure CSS Menu - IE not following z-index to render over other divs

2005-05-17 Thread Rob Agar
hi Kevin, Would anyone have a solution to a pure CSS menu flyout not showing above divs on IE6? (or lower versions) I've just had this very same problem - see the IE z-index drop down menu thread over the last days or so. The best solution (from Ingo Chao) was to apply position:

Sorry I forgot to mention an important detail - this problem only appears in IE6 quirks mode. I'm working on an old and fairly sprawling site (.asp, table layout, inline font tags, the whole horrorshow =), so I'm stuck with it. Ingo Chao wrote: for IE5.5:

hi Ingo I did not found a workaround yet, maybe it's just hardwired. yes, I think this is just another IE oddity, and probably not worth spending too much time worrying about. My none-too-elegant workaround was to give up on white-space: nowrap and replace the spaces in the top level items
