 Properly using ems to size things is precisely how you prevent layouts from
 breaking when actually used font size differs from the font size you used
 while designing. Also, when you design using the user's default as the base
 (e.g. body, td  p @ font-size: 100%), he won't need to change it.

Most designers, and more importantly clients, don't want their body
copy at 16pt. So I am always setting a font-size on p's, etc. to .8 or
.85ems. Should someone who NEEDS larger text scale up these pages, the
layout may break. However, you are correct that proper use of ems
should prevent it from breaking in the first place.

Hi list,

Here's the page:

Hit it in FF/Safari for desired layout for head/paragraph relation.
Why won't it work in IE 6/7?

[css-d] Vertical Centering

2006-03-23 Thread Tom Livingston
Listers,

I recall someone posting a very easy method of vertical centering a
block in a viewport a while back. Seemed straight forward -
positioning with percentages and a little negative margin nudging.
Googled but came up empty.

Can anyone point me to this? How cross-browser is it?

Thanks a bunch.

I'm not sorry (well, maybe about the 'Love you' comment...), but the

Of course, in my case the window had to be _very_ short, but none the
less, it wasn't ideal. My content has a fixed width and height, so the
other issues didn't apply.

We used a table.

Not really. Although impressively neat and tidy, you could do with some  
efficiencies. Things like font-family. Unless changing font families, you  
can specify it once on the body and be done with it.


body{font-family:Arial, Helvetica, Sans serif ;}

Without going through everything, I think you can see where I'm going. I'm  
sure you can do multiple positioning ideas with one element, rather than  
id-ing or class-ing everything to be able to put it where you want.  
Take a look at style sheets from other sites for ideas.


I'm sure others on the list will add to this...

[css-d] Jumping text in IEWin

2005-10-11 Thread Tom Livingston

Hello list,

In a fluid layout I have a container with a head (h2) and a p. Within this  
container, I am also floating an image right. As I change the width of my  
viewport, the text wrapping changes as expected - except in IEWin (6 and  
5.5). As the length of the lines of, I believe the h2, change the h2 and p  
jump up and down approximately the height of the floated image.


Unfortunately I can't post the page... NDA and all but if this sounds  
familiar I would love to hear your tricks or thought processes on  
stopping this behavior. I think I know what is conceptually happening, but  
can't get it to stop. I will get it at one width, but then as I change the  
window width, it will do it again at a different width.


I can post code snippets if it will help, otherwise I might have to slap  
together a test page...


TIA for thinking about it...

[css-d] List with hover background images

2005-10-12 Thread Tom Livingston

Listers...

Here is the code I am using on a list of links:

#content ul.linklist{list-style-type:none; margin:0 0 20px 0;}
#content ul.linklist li{padding:0 0 .3em 40px;}
#content ul.linklist a{display:block; padding:0 0 0 20px; margin:0 0 0  
-20px;}
#content ul.linklist a:hover{display:block;  
background:url(../images/linklist_rollarrows.gif) top left no-repeat;  
padding:0 0 0 20px; margin:0 0 0 -20px;}

div id=content
snip
ul class=linklist

/ul
/div


In some browsers however, my links work across the page, beyond the text,  
even over blank space like this:


|-link text--|   hover and link work here


The display:block is most likely the cause, right? But I can't figure out  
how to achieve another way what I am after with the links, which is to  
have the hover bg image _and_ have the links indented the same if they  
break to 2 lines.


Any thoughts?

TIA

OK I solved the above issue by using display:table-cell and feeding WinIE  
display:block inCCs.


But the same fix will not work for this:

#faphomecontent p{margin-right:25px; width:90%;}
#faphomecontent a.subcatlink{display:block; padding-right:3em; color:#999;  
background:url(../images/fap/linkone_off.jpg) top right no-repeat;  
text-decoration:none;}
#faphomecontent a.subcatlink span{font-family:Trebuchet MS, Arial, Sans,

text-decoration:none;}
#faphomecontent a.subcatlink:hover{display:block; padding-right:3em;  
color:#000; background:url(../images/fap/linkone_on.jpg) top right

div id=faphomecontent
h2 class=subhomehead:: Professionals/h2
pa href=# class=subcatlinkspanLoan Management/spanbr /
Link copy goes here. /a/p
/div

No lists involved with this. All I want is link text with a backgnd image  
to show on hover. And ONLY the text should hover/link. The above again has  
active blank space within the href... yes, because of display:block; but  
I can't get the effect of text-pushed-over-to-allow-for-hover-bg-image w/o  
it!


Am I nutz?? Am I asking the impossible?

That window ledge is looking pretty good right now. I'm on the fourth

 Yes, but that only works when you click the button (or mouse down).
 When you unclick and move away, the color doesn't remain behind, it
 reverts to the visited color.  What I'm looking for is the active
 state to stay, until another link is clicked.

I usually use a class (.active{background-color:pink; color:red;} for example)
and then if I am on page X then give this link the .active class. We
use a middle-ware for this (ColdFusion, usually), but I am sure JS can
be used. Or hard code the pages for this.

  idea for accessibility, it often leads to lots of horizontal scrolling

What about a width limit (no, not a fixed width site) on the width of
the main content in relation to the rest of the page (like an article)
so as to allow the font scaling to occur vertically instead of
horizontally? This seems like a better solution to me.

Like this maybe?

Scale up. No horiz scroll.

Without seeing your page, are you specifying media:screen, media:all,
media:screen print?

[css-d] Jello Variation

2006-06-09 Thread Tom Livingston
Hello list,

I am playing with a variation of Mike Purvis' jello layout (a
variation for me anyway - you may have seen/done this) to make the
entire layout scale proportionally (as opposed to just allowing for
the text to get bigger/smaller).

Can you take a peek - beat on it - and let me know what you think? I
literally just swapped out px for ems. In IE6, when the page
approaches it's intended max-width, there is a weird jump in the
width. A minor thing, but would like to fix it if possible. Got any
ideas?

http://66.155.251.18/mlinc.com/test/index2.html

Original jello page (using px) is here for comparison:
http://66.155.251.18/mlinc.com/test/index.html

Thanks a bunch!

[css-d] Print Woes

Hello list,

I am banging my head against my desk on this one. IE6 is always
printing a second blank page for a couple of Intranet reports here.
Are there any typical things that would cause this? I have a print

Any thoughts? I can't post the page as it is an internal intranet...

2006-06-19 Thread Tom Livingston
 The article on that page, is a *wonderful and worthwhile read*-- the
 author of the article did /not/ set the moustype.

As I was about to comment on how the text can just be scaled up to
suit, I scaled it up myself in Mac Flock (FF) and was amazed to see
that when the nav, for starters, gets scaled out of view of my browser
window, I do _not_ get a horiz scroll bar! If i widen my browser
window, the overflow is there, but I can't _scroll_ to see it.

Seems like a problem to me...

[css-d] min-width and IE

2006-06-21 Thread Tom Livingston
Listers,

I am using this for min-width in IE:

 #wrapper{width:expression(document.body.clientWidth  800 ?
799px : 100% );}

If I use ems (50ems) in place of the 799px, IE has a heart attack if I
scale the text up at the min-width.

In FF, at the min-width, I scale up the text and the layout scales too
and I get a horiz scrollbar. This is the behavior I want.

 The difference is:

 your first attempt...

 document.documentElement.clientWidth :document.body.clientWidth)  750 ?
 46em : 100%)); }

 ...vs. the corrected one...

 document.documentElement.clientWidth :document.body.clientWidth)  (750/12)
 * parseInt(document.body.currentStyle.fontSize)? 46em : 100%)); }

 See that...

  (750/12)
 * parseInt(document.body.currentStyle.fontSize)?

 ...? That's the calculation:

  'window-width in pixels', divided by '/medium/ font-size in points',
 multiplied by '/actual/ font-size in points' .

 A clever bit of logic, don't you think? :-)

  Can I increase the 1850 to something crazy so it will never be hit?

 It is already so crazy that it won't trigger on windows less than around
 1850px recalculated the same as above. However, no problem replacing
 that 1850 with a larger value - any value.

 Or you may set 100% instead of the 50em I used, since that'll mean
 that no action will be taken when the 'max-width' trigger-point is reached.

  Thanks again. Your very kind to help out!
 

 No problem :-)

Re: [css-d] General question on tables

2006-06-28 Thread Tom Livingston
This definitely allows for more creative web site design

I beg to differ...

http://www.csszengaarden.com

Select any design on the right-hand sidebar. The vast majority are
extremely creative.
IMHO, this proves anything can be acheived with CSS.

That being said, I still use tables when there is absolutely no other
way to give the designer (here, anyway) what he/she wants. And that
includes an unsuccessful, fact-filled attempt to talk him out of what
he's trying to accomplish - usually for no good reason other than
just because. And it's usually for a small part of a site, not the
whole structure.

My 2¢...

Re: [css-d] CSS Formatting

2006-07-17 Thread Tom Livingston
 Sure it is. Adding clearing elements, and the ensuing additional CSS (or
 extra clearing markup), makes code less readable for, in most cases, no good
 reason. Since overflow: hidden or overflow: auto does the trick, the whole
 issue of clearing floats becomes essentially a non-issue, and saves extra
 markup.


Hold on.

Adding overflow:auto; on a container will clear any and all floats
inside said container all by itself!?!? Cross-browser??!! And PIE's
Easy Clearing is 'so last year' too?!? Where have I been???

 Hey all,

 I'm missing something basic in CSS and it keeps popping up in sites
 I'm working on. I've got a container div (background of #FFF) that
 has smaller divs floating in it. I want that container div to
 automatically adjust its height as more (or less) content is added to
 the divs inside it. Right now, if I omit height or put height: auto,
 it doesn't work. I have to put a fixed pixel heights in to make any
 difference.


Sounds like you need to clear the floats. After the last floated
element, but within the container add:

div style=clear:both; margin:0; padding:0; font-size:0;
line-height:0;!--nbsp;--/div

Adjust accordingly, or make a class with that style. Also, see:
http://www.positioniseverything.net/easyclearing.html

or search the CSS-D wiki for clearing

Your screenshot of what it should look like is what I see. But you say:

using ems, it shifts to the right even though the blue box is in a
separate calendar div not contained in the content div:

I'm confused. If you want the blue box all the way to the right like
the second listed screenshot, can you float it right?

OK. Sounds like the content is now x ems wide, and the blue is hugging
the right of that em width, but there is an outer container - outside
the text container - that you want the blue to be at the far right of.
Follow that one?! ;-)

Can you put the text in it's own container with the x ems width, and
float the blue right of the outer container?

Stabbing in the dark, sorry. No time to peek right now.

Re: [css-d] Avoiding empty pages in print - any ideas?

2006-09-07 Thread Tom Livingston
  I've created a print.css that does what I want most of the time.
  However, every now and then I end up with empty pages. Does anyone know
  of a trick I could use to loose at least the last empty page? I've
  searched high and low, but I can't find something workable.
 

Sorry, no time to peek...

Are you floating major sections of the content? Like a 2- or 3-col
layout? Try adding to (or adding period) your print style:

 * {float:none;} -- or a specific element instead of *

That solved similar things for me. Print is getting tricky for me lately...

[css-d] Sticky footer kinda sorta

2006-10-18 Thread Tom Livingston
Hi list,

I am in need of a footer that sticks to the bottom of the viewport,
but when content runs deep, the footer is pushed down accordingly.

Here, for example:
http://66.155.251.18/mlinc.com/06/

Can the footer be pinned to the bottom no matter how tall the
viewport, but when copy, etc. is added, the footer will push down
(with a nice amount of space between footer and copy). ;-)

Is this possible without permanently aligning the planets and
sacrificing small farm animals?

TIA!

Hi listers,

http://66.155.251.18/mlinc.com/06/clients/

Anyone see why IE7 is adding extra space to the right, causing horizontal
scroll when _above_ my min-width?

Also, in Safari and latest Webkit nightly, the 3 yellow thumbs and
Portfolio/White Paper links are too low on the page. They should line
up with the red thumb on the far right - like every other browser. Any
thoughts here? Of course, I could be going about the positioning is a
less than optimal way...

[css-d] Semantic headlines and image replacement

2008-06-17 Thread Tom Livingston
Hi list!

Here's one I have been pondering lately...

What's the consensus on handling graphic headlines? Designers here
love their custom font headlines, so I am always dealing with how to
handle them. Usually, it's just the graphic in a div with a proper
alt/title but I have been wondering about CSS image replacement. You
know, the 'ol h1 with text negative-margined to the next zip code
and a graphic headline as a background image.

Is this pretty much common place? What's really the best way to deal
with graphic headlines. Semantics, and all. Yes, I know, don't use
them - use text. But seriously, we all know that's just 'perfect
world' stuff... 'round here, it usually graphics rule. Got any
resources?

Thanks!
