 Yellow all,

 I didn't find the origin of the bug with Firefox 1.5.0.6 Mac OS X.
 If you click an artwork archive on the right sidebar, a part of the popup
 image is behind my left div. Any idea how to solve this ? It seems ok with
 other browsers.

 Thanks and good evening

Maybe this screenshot http://www.getphuture.com/tmp.tiff can help you.

[WSG] Jumping content in IE

2006-08-23 Thread Taco Fleur
Title: Website design - Pacific Fox



I know this issue is 
well known, but I can't find the 
fix.

I have some jumping 
content in IE (can't provide a link to it unfortunately at this stage). Was it 
negative margins or something that would fix 
it?
Thanks in 
advance.

[WSG] Html Question Please Help

2006-08-23 Thread marvin hunkin

Hi.
developing a disability links information site.
got my main country page, say Australia.
got my disability pages in a folder called MarvinsWebsite, and now the main 
pages for the main page, are just under the root directory.
i created a folder called MarvinsWebfiles, and put two other folders called 
Images and WebPages.

now there is a link to link back to the main page.
when i move the main files from the root to the two folder, when i try to 
link back to the main page, says it cannot find it, but when i put them back 
to the root folder, it works.

now how do i fix this, and the code i have is:


p a href=../../Index.htmltitle=Marvins Web Portal Page 
target=content accesskey=WReturn To Marvins Web Portal Page/a /p

as a sample.
cannot upload my site, as my college will not allow ftp uploading.
and cannot install java and the java acess bridge to use the bravehost 
upload file utility.

now, how do i fix this problem?
let me know asap.
cheers Marvin.

So it sounds like the link href path you are trying is wrong.

Thats the trouble with dotdots, move some files around and you need to
change the depth of relatvity to the file(s).

Personally in your case I would use the relative from root method.

To link to an index.html page that is in root, all files however deeply
nested need only use a href=/index.html ..etc/a

To link to index.html that has been moved to /marvinswebfiles/ then use
a href=/marvinswebfiles/index.html ..etc/a

Can not totally understand your folder convension as you have described it
so maybe a touch of ascii art would help describe it.

Anyway, try the above method.

RE: [WSG] Html Question Please Help

2006-08-23 Thread Kepler Gelotte
Hi Marvin,

Your email was very hard for me to understand. What I think you are saying
is off your main page you have a link like:

a href=MarvinsWebsite/WebPages/index.html Disability Links /a

And in MarvinsWebsite/WebPages/index.html you have a link like:

a href=../../Index.html title=Marvins Web Portal Page 
target=content accesskey=WReturn To Marvins Web Portal Page/a

(I hope the missing space before the title attribute in your email was a
typo).

When you click on the first link, your context changes. Your current
directory is now: /MarvinsWebsite/WebPages. To get back to the root
directory you can use either absolute path:

a href=/Index.html Return To Marvins Web Portal Page/a

Or relative path:

a href=../../Index.html Return To Marvins Web Portal Page/a



Maybe you know all this already and are cursing me because I didn't
understand your question ;-). Another HTML tag that can change the current
working directory is base href=/abc/xyz /. In that example no matter
what the current directory should be, it will now be: /abc/xyz.


Hope that answered your question. If not please give a few more details.

Regards,
Kepler Gelotte

Or simply a href=/


To link to index.html that has been moved to /marvinswebfiles/ then use
a href=/marvinswebfiles/index.html ..etc/a


a href=/marvinswebfiles/

You never need to include index.html in the path when there's a web 
server being used.  You only need to do so when you're reading from the 
local file system, but in that case linking relative to the root doesn't 
work either.

[WSG] Weird IE bug? Repeating part of div.

2006-08-23 Thread Instyle Web Design
Hiya,

Just wondering if someone might be able to help me out here. I have a weird
bug (only happens in IE - yet again!!). I have a 3 column layout and the
feature div on the far right is the problem. The last 3 characters of the
p in the div are repeating below the div. I've only noticed this since
I've made my layout a DW template. Weird! And it doesn't happen in FF. Any
clues anyone?

Page location: http://www.instylewebdesign.com.au/contact_us/details.html

I've also validated the css and the html.

Thanks,
Leah
