Thanks!

Just wanted to make sure the comments WILL be picked up by real 5.0  
or 5.5 users.
I can fake things for testing and I got everything rendering the way  
I wanted so I guess I'm fine.


Cheers,

Marco

Re: [WSG] Firefox :hover font-weight: bold

Ok, I have a test page up. It is using the basic structure of the site I 
am making.


I am using Firefox 1.0.7.

also are you certain you have closed all your a tag's?

No, I wish it was this simple. I'm talking about elements that are 
located on the other side of the page flashing above the link with the 
hover.


I'll get a test page up soon.

Re: [WSG] Firefox :hover font-weight: bold

2005-11-19 Thread Stuart Sherwood
Yes, removing that line with overflow:auto; removes the flicker, but it 
also breaks the design.


From the perspective of the current project, I'd rather loose the 
font-weight:bold. If I can keep both then the client will be happy.


Nick Cowie wrote:


It is overflow: auto; in
.clear .module_bg {width:213px; padding:0 15px; overflow:auto;}
that is causing the problem, remove it and no flicker  at least in FF1.0.6

Setting 'overflow: hidden;' on the outer wrapper - #thePage - makes the
flickering stop in Moz 1.7.12.

Makes sense in a way, in that all such flickering in older Moz/FF
usually stops when the page is isolated[1] from the browser-window.

A standards compliant way of giving something hasLayout is to

The MSDN standard[1]... :-)

No, but MSDN claim[2] that it is /in line with/ the CSS specifications -
with a few bugs added for good measure.

explicitly assign a width or height.


That's not 'hasLayout' (anywhere but in IE/win). The correct way to give
an element Layout is to establish new 'block formatting contexts'[3].
That's /kind of/ what IE/win does too... in its very own, very buggy, way.

Re: [WSG] Firefox :hover font-weight: bold

2005-11-19 Thread Stuart Sherwood

That's great Gunlaug.
Is this a bug worth reporting or is it something that is already known? 
I have only seen variations of bugs with overflow set but none with the 
flickering.


Your thoughts?

Such flickering doesn't appear to be a problem in any case I've tested
in the latest FF-versions, so I guess that bug is well taken care of by
now. Not much we can do for the older versions but to create workarounds
for a while, and then let go.

We also have to test thoroughly across browser-land when using such
workarounds, as some browsers - new and old - may get into more serious
trouble with some of these standard-compliant workarounds, because they
don't apply them correctly.
---

In all cases where 'float:left/right; width: (something);' can be used,
it should be used. Most of today's browsers are near to flawless on floats.

Next comes 'display: table; width: (something);' that is mostly either
understood and applied well enough - or completely ignored. Still plenty
of bugs around for 'display: table' though, so test well.

Neither of the above seems to fit the bill for your test page, but they
may work perfectly well on a real page/layout.
Using 'overflow: (not visible);' is actually the solution that may
create problems in most browsers. So that one really has to be tested
well across browser-land.
