Re: [css-d] the old 'tables vs. divs'
Tedd post toasted: I've been wandering around for years using css to solve every styling problem I've run into and have never found one I couldn't solve. It does take some creativity and ingenuity to create some of the complex layouts with CSS... but that is what listservs like this one (and the great web sites with lots of code samples to start from) are for.

Re: [css-d] Column Blow Out
Steve LaBadie ink wired: I have an issue where a table cell blows out when I put images in it. Other than making the image in question the background for the cell, you might try creating a style that applies a set width to all images (equal to or less than your table width). The CSS should not set the height, however -- this way the image resizes itself proportionately. I've seen this in guestbooks where the owner wants to avoid the blown out effect a huge image can have on a table. Hope that helps. -- Dwacon www.dwacon.com __ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7b2 testing hub -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/

[css-d] Button Style
I have a style that makes a hyperlink look like a button -- but have been
using JavaScript onFocus() and onBlur() to affect button like behavior
(i.e., a depressed and raised state). I would like to do this with CSS and
would appreciate advice.
The current CSS is:
a.button:link, a.button:visited, a.button:hover
{
text-decoration:none; font-variant: small-caps; border-style:
outset; border-width: 2; padding-left: 2; padding-right: 2; padding-top: 0;
padding-bottom: 0; background-color: #C0C0C0
}
a.button:active, a.button:focus
{
text-decoration:none; font-variant: small-caps; border-style: inset;
border-width: 2; padding-left: 2; padding-right: 2; padding-top: 0;
padding-bottom: 0; background-color: #C0C0C0
}
Thanks.
