Looks fine in Safari 1.2, Firebird 0.7, and IE 5.2.
One small this I saw is in IE the footer text runs into itself if the
window is resized too small, say 600-700 pixels wide or smaller. Other
than that and the usual mystery horizontal scrollbar, no probs.

I played with it a little and here's what I got. The horizontal nav
bar needs some tweaking, although I don't think it's possible to do
much about the small left area that's not covered on hovers. I got it
as close as possible in Safari Firebird, have no clue about IE on the
Win side as my
Michael,
Your layout is looking good.
However, in Opera 7.2, the footer seems to be positioned half below the
browser window. I have emailed you a screenshot off list.

looks.
it uses the link:visited method, which i havn't seen used much...

hey you guys thanks for all the feedback.
i ended up trashing that layout and starting afresh.

This has solved the Nav problem, except that now when I zoom the text the bar blows up
in my face, any help with that would be appreciated.
Also there is

find it.

Technically, Trident has got little (or nothing?) to do with CSS
parsing. I found a post from liorean at css-d explaining this:
Just as a note, Trident is the rendering engine of ie/w. It is not
the XML, the HTML/tagsoup or the CSS parsing engine;
The main page layout is way off center on Safari and buggy in Firebird.
One thing I have notices is you're using align on tags in the html that
should be defined in the CSS. XHTML should never have any kind of
font, alignment, or color attributes attached to the html tag.
Take aa look at
Replace padding: 1em 0; with padding: 0 1em; :)

One small this I saw is in IE the footer text

I'm choosing to ignore IE's lack of support for min-width.
Other than that and the usual mystery

Hi Chris,
I think this is really clever. Sure it only provides a visual cue, but
it's very effective. Nice work.

Hello folks,
(First post to this excellent list - thanks Russ/Peter for setting me up).
I am trying to ditch the HTML tables addiction and keeping to standards-based
designs from now on. The annoying thing is I can do this in 30 seconds using the
'old' methods but I'm having problems. I need
Box A's background becomes the border when you make a 5px margin on Box
B ... I believe I used the word appear... It's sort of faking a
border, if you will.
When built you'll see what I mean (and why it can only be solid)

I think you need to remove the default margins on uls.
So within;
#navcontainer ul, I removed all the margins and added
margin: 50px 0 0 0;
*this basically means the same as;
margin-top: 50px
margin-right: 0
margin-bottom: 0
margin-left: 0;
That fixes the problem in ie6, but you get the 3px
Hi Paul.
The gaps you speak of are part of the CSS parsing bug by IE.
In any CSS declaration where width is in use with padding or borders or
both, you must use the CSS hack to feed IE a false value and Safari,
etc.. the right value.
Or, you can use a method to get around using the hack.
See
Don't blame you. IE has been on my last nerve recently...ALOT.
I wouldn't use the hack...it's a rather minor issue anyway, and the hack could cause other issues to arise...not to mention it's a hack.
Looks fine in what I tried it in:
Safari 1.2
Firebird 0.7
IE 5.2.3
Opera 6.03

Say I have a header where I have the main text big and bold and in the
usual top left position. Now in addition I have a little catch-phrase
that I'd like to stick in the bottom right. How do I style the
catch-phrase so that it stays in the bottom right even with the user
changing the font
Hi Robert,
What you need to do is set the container (in your case the header div) to
position: relative, and then subscript to position: absolute - and
make it sit in the bottom right edge of the container. Like this:
http://www.maxdesign.com.au/jobs/css/moser.htm
No matter how it is scaled up
That definitely does the trick. I was driving myself crazy fiddling
with line-height, padding-top, and position: relative on the
subscript. The best I could manage was min-height on the header and
padding-top on the subscript. The dual positions is so much nicer.
Thanks,
Robert

Thought I'd share this one with everyone, we received a list of
corrections today from one of our clients, and we found a particularly
humorous snippet. This correction was given in relation to paragraph
line length.
It makes it hard for people to read if they have to keep moving their
eyes
Hi Chris
This is an important point they have raised - they are looking at
peripheral vision. We see a circle of about 6cm on screen in one go -
anything larger we have to move our eyes to take in more. This is why
newspapers tend to be in columns etc etc.
The Zed man has some good writeups
Of course James, I know that for sure, just thought it was a funny way
of putting it.. the paragraph is under 500px wide anyway
I've tried to read without moving my eyes and its pretty hard.. ;)

James,
Here is some info on ideal line length:
The ideal line length for text layout is based on the the physiology of the
human eye... At normal reading distance the arc of the visual field is only
a few inches - about the width of a well-designed column of text, or about
12 words per line.
Hi Chris I thought that was really really funny and so did everyone else
in the office.
in fact its going to join the other quotes I have printed out and stuck on
the wall that we read when we need to raise a smile in times of stress.
