[css-d] margin: 83_qem?

2009-02-18 Thread Peter-Paul Koch
Hello, I encountered the following CSS declaration: margin: 83_qem Does anyone have any idea what kind of unit it is? Apparently it's used in Safari's internal style sheet (http://www.accessifyforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=5551), and I saw it mentioned in Nokia documentation

So the meta-switch is able to take precedence over the doctype switch in any case. Definitely! That's by design. Doctype switching will continue to work as usual; you can choose between Quirks (IE5.5) and Standard (IE8). However, any meta switch will ALWAYS overrule any doctype. Setting

http://www.fu2k.org/alex/css/cssjunk/ie8/xua In a nutshell, IE8's emulation of IE6 and IE5 does not appear to be off to a flying start. IE8 cannot emulate IE6, only IE5 and 7. 1. Box model not honoured when targeting IE6 and in standards mode 2. Parsing errors not replicated when

IE8 cannot emulate IE6, only IE5 and 7. WTF? So IE=6 is actually the same as IE=5. Genius. Yup. In fact, I argued for the inclusion of IE=6 for consistency's sake. It pointing to IE5 is not perfect, but better than having something really weird happen when you use that value. Of course,

Based on the Versioning and Internet Explorer Modes whitepaper, making the assumption that Microsoft just kept the old IE7 Quirks mode, it seems like we have four modes: IE7 Quirks (versions7), IE7 Standards (version=7), IE8 Standards (version =8) and Best possible (version=edge), with

Re: [css-d] Inline Lists in IE4 - possible?

2007-05-15 Thread Peter-Paul Koch
I've been lurking for a little while and I'm pleased to present my first question :-) This may be common knowledge, but is it impossible to render a list as inline in IE 4.0 (Win, for the sake of this argument)? I cannot get 'float' or 'display' to work. This is for the purposes of a

Therefore my question is: can anyone point me to a page that explains the use of semi-transparent PNGs as background images in IE6 and lower through the MS-proprietary filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader declaration? Has anyone yet taken the logical step of writing

[css-d] Semi-transparent PNGs as background images in IE6 - documentation wanted

Hello, Yesterday I talked to a web developer who passed me a technique for using semi-transparent PNGs as background images even in IE6 and lower. The technique works, up to a point. See my test page at http://www.quirksmode.org/css/png/png.html . I already had a private conversation with

[css-d] width of col span=2 / - I don't get it

Hello all, I just published the results of my research into table columns and CSS: http://www.quirksmode.org/css/columns.html One result took me totally by surprise, and I hope someone on the list can explain it to me. In my tests I use a col tag that spans two columns: col span=2

However, this one happens to be specified the same way in both specs and implemented that way: http://www.w3.org/TR/2006/WD-CSS21-20060411/tables.html#q4 says: # The following properties apply to column and column-group elements: # [...] # 'width' # The 'width' property gives the minimum

[css-d] Inline styles vs. !important

Consider this situation: div#test { text-decoration: none !important: } div id=test style=text-decoration: underline Test DIV /div Mozilla, Explorer Mac and Opera obey the underline, Explorer Win and Safari the none. Who's right? Why? --

Re: [css-d] Inline styles vs. !important

2005-11-18 Thread Peter-Paul Koch
Never mind, I made a mistake in my code. The CSS line is closed by a colon, and not by a semi-colon. Replace it by a semi-colon and all browsers obey the none. Consider this situation: div#test { text-decoration: none !important: -- } div id=test style=text-decoration: underline

I have a page that actually crashes Firefox and Netscape 8.0 (at least, via Windows XP - I just found out about it and need to test on other platforms). The page is http://sesius.com/Products/Manufacturing.htm - do a Print Preview, then when the Close button is clicked Firefox dies. None of
