RE: [WSG] Displaying and linebreaking long URLs?
Hi, I'm looking for a good way to display long URLs in full.
The page has an elastic, somewhat fluid width, so the URL
should take up as much of the available width as possible
before wrapping. Of course, the URL may disrupt the layout
if it didn't wrap at all.
I've had the same problem recently with references for an e-book. Chapter 5 has
really long URLs
http://iit.bloomu.edu/Spring2006_eBook_files/chapter5.htm#h5_1_r
In Firefox, elements don't stretch like they do in IE so the URL breaks out of
the container. I looked into the wbr tag but decided not to use it for a number
of reasons.
The question: how can this be handled in the final HTML/CSS?
It would be nice if the breaks didn't appear unless required.
While HTML allows for insert a line break and insert a
space that doesn't break, it doesn't seem to be able to do
something like don't break between these two chars unless
you really need to. I know about soft-hyphens, but I believe
their support, esp. with Gecko browsers, is spotty.
I used the IE hack to word-wrap something similar to what Al mentioned but
there is no need to class anything. This hack was mentioned as a way to keep IE
from stretching any element.
/* IE long URL hack */
/* Hide it from IE Mac \*/
* html body
{
word-wrap: break-word;
}
/* End comment for Mac */
Then I added a class for potentially long strings of characters with overflow:
auto; which doesn't work in IE but I don't have to worry about IE because the
URLs are going to break anyway.
In every browser I tested except for Netscape (in Gecko mode), it provides a
horizontal scroll bar only if needed. In Netscape (as Firefox), it looks awful
(both scroll bars appear) and I haven't found CSS fix for it yet. I'm still
looking when I have the time.

[WSG] Combined rounded and squared corner tabs
Title: Message Hi All, Anyone have any ideas on a good approach to having rounded corner tabs like those created using sliding doors along with the "current" tab having squared corners and about twice as tall as the other tabs? I've got a working model, but don't particularly care for the amount of CSS I used, though I couldn't figure an easy way to not use relative positioning due to the size differences in the tabs, having used a lot of sliding doors styling to work itout. Anyone have any good sites that demonstrate this use of tabs? -Tom ***List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfmUnsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfmHelp: [EMAIL PROTECTED]***
