Re: [css-d] Need suggestions

[Patrick Roane]

Thank you all for your suggestions - they have been
very helpful!
One suggestion was made:

site: www.pdrsolution.com/waters/index.html

 It seems clear that your box needs to stretch
 vertically, especially 
 since it can't stretch horizontally.  Why isn't it
 stretching 
 vertically now?  Because of this rule:
 
  #left-box {
  position: relative;

Doing this takes it out of the flow, so its parent
container doesn't 
stretch to accommodate it.

1. Looking at the parent container (div id=container
class=clearfix) and div id=content, I noticed
that these don't have either an absolute or relative
position ... so how do I know  what the flow should
be?

2. As suggested, I omitted the '#left-box' relative
position mentioned above (I tried both an absolute
position and no position at all). The result was that
the menu swung way out of its intended position and
the text still breaks out of the box. I think there is
more I need to do. Or (most likely), I just don't
understand whats going on

3. There must be a css: parameter I can adjust to
allow for the box to stretch vertically to accomidate
the text... I'm just not sure which one.


Any more insite into this would be great.

Thanks-

Patrick

[css-d] Need suggestions

[Patrick Roane]

Hey everyone,

I'm building a site for a client:

www.pdrsolution.com/waters/index.html

and we talked today. She uses AOL/IE as her browser
and has her view - text size set to 'large' or
'larger'(not sure which one) where as I have mine set
to medium. The problem (as you can guess) is that the
text on the left side under the logo breaks out of the
box.

I think to myself ... what am going to do? I can't
change the font size (and or add a scroll bar- which
I'd hate to do) because that would upset people who
have their text size set to medium or small. I can
always 'lengthen' the box so that it stretches down
further to accept the text. I have to 'think outside
the box' he he he ; ) on this one!

Any suggestions would be great.

Thanks-

Patrick
