This is my first post to the list.  I'm a complete newbie.  There 
appears to be a problem with the alignment of the logo in FF 1.0.1 - Win 
XP Pro.  It also appears the same way on in IE 6.

Screen shot here:

I'm a system programmer and I'm pretty new to css (learning it on the 
side), so I'm not sure of the fix for this.

The official Melbourne meetings have ground to a halt late last year with
Dez being flat out with a new job and David running off and getting married
(very selfish of him!).

So, could I ask anyone who is interested in taking over as city organisers
to drop me an email. Also, anyone interested in attending a meeting
(informal drinks or presentations like last year), please drop me an email
as well.

RE: [WSG] Unofficial Melbourne meetup

[Seona Bellamy]

Hi,

I'm certainly happy to put my hand up for this. It also gives me a chance to
meet and greet some folks, since so far the official meetings have never
been on a night I can attend.

So, any day other than Monday is good for me. :) Where in Melbourne are you
staying? We could always meet at an Elephant and Wheelbarrow somewhere, so
you can laugh at our attempt at British pubs... *grin*

Cheers,

Seona.

Hi,

Im not sure if this is on or off topic (it's not on either list in the

staying here for a few months (and working in web dev hopefully) so I
just wondered if any of you Melbourne people were up for an informal
meet up as I noticed there's no official meets scheduled at the moment
and I'd like to meet up with people on the local web circut to
exchange ideas and stuff.

So you know who I am, Im a developer from London and I used to be
quite active on this list before I started travelling.  I also
co-wrote all the suckerfish articles with Pat Griffiths of HTMLDog.

So, anyone up for a (web standards) beer?

Re: [WSG] Simple 2 column layout?

Stevio wrote:
What is the simplest way to layout 2 columns? Nothing fancy, just a bit

You didn't ask for header and footer, but if you don't want them just 
remove...

HTML:

  ...some header content...
  ...some column content...
  ...some other column content...
  ...some footer content...

CSS:
#somecol {
  float: left;
  margin-left: 1%;
  width: 40%;
}
#someothercol {
  float: left;
  margin-left: 1%;
  width: 40%;
}
#footer {
  clear: both;
}
That should just about do it. Simple, relatively unbreakable (anyone 
object to that statement?)

Increase the widths as appropriate, just remember that percentages are 
dealt with slightly differently by most browsers (all?) so that widths 
that work in one may not work in all others - basically, the widths and 
margins should never amount to 100%, but in some browsers a better 
number is 98% total

[WSG] IE div problem

[Robin Campbell Joy]

Hello, 

i'm new to css. Currently i'm working on a website with css and have a 
problem with IE.
I haven't found any solutions on the web and the css validator also 
validates the html/css. 

The problem is within the header, where a "div" gets bigger than it should. 
If i take the header image out of the code, the "div" renders correctly. 

This is how it should look (in Mozilla,Opera it's just fine) 
http://www.andrewjoy.com/newsite/soll.jpg 

and this is what it looks like in IE: 
http://www.andrewjoy.com/newsite/ist.jpg 

Site: http://www.andrewjoy.com/newsite/
CSS: http://www.andrewjoy.com/newsite/main.css 

Does somebody have an idea or suggestion? 

Greetz,
Robin

RE: [WSG] 3 cols width any column longest and no div clear

Hi,

I've just finished a website using a 3cols fluid layout and I've used this 
method: http://www.stunicholls.myby.co.uk/layouts/3cols2.html

It works fine for me (didn't check on mac thought) on IE5+, NN6.2-NN7.2, Opera 
7.11, Firefox 1.0

It actually use divs to clear but you can use this tutorial instead:
http://www.positioniseverything.net/easyclearing.html

And it doesn't use any hacks as well...

Hope you find it useful,

JAWS can be configured to read the title attribute of abbreviations
and acronyms, and will read them when they're nested in elements such
as th. By default, JAWS won't read the title attribute. pwWebSpeak
reads both the title and the abbreviation. WindowsEyes and Home Page
Reader used to ignore them, but I don't know whether that's changed.

Strictly speaking, CSS should be marked up as an abbreviation rather
than an acronym, as it cannot be pronounced.

I'm not sure if any of these exactly fit your criteria, but there are a

Re: [WSG] question about CSS menu (javascript)

[Stuart Homfray]

Hi John,
I use a similar drop-down menu on my El Bombín site 
 (javascript: 
) - as far as I can 
tell it works on pretty much every browser (although Opera 7 seems to 
require an inline style for the 'display:none' declaration), and it 
stores the value in a cookie.

Mike Foskett's version beat me to it, though, AND it's structured to 
allow multiple menu drop-downs, so it will probably suit your needs better!

cheers,
Stuart

Hello.  I'm doing a drop-down menu (a bit differently than usual), and 
there is only one thing I can't seem to accomplish.

The menu is at http://www.drzeus.net/lab/verticalmenu.html
The user should be able to click on a tab to expand it, which it 
currently does, but clicking it again should contract the menu (that's 
the part I need help with, please).

I realize that a javascript question isn't exactly about standards, but 
since the menu itself is XHTML/CSS, and hopefully others will find the 
menu useful.

Thank you.

[WSG] 3 cols width any column longest and no div clear

[Carlos Rincon Sanchez]

Anyone knows a 3 col model with any column longest and no div clear?

I don't know the height of any column neither which will be the longest
but i know the width of all columns (it's no liquid).

The order of divs must be left, center and right column.

RE: [WSG] style attribute depreciated in xhtml 1.1?

[Richard Ishida]

Semantic markup like this also makes it much easier to change your mind as
you evolve the styling, and to use alternative conventions for localized
pages where appropriate.

RE: [WSG] question about CSS menu (javascript)

[Mike Foskett]

Try this:

window.onload=show;

function show(id) {
var d = document.getElementById(id);
for (var i = 1; i<=10; i++) {
if (document.getElementById('submenu'+i)) 
{document.getElementById('submenu'+i).style.display='none';}
}
if (d) {d.style.display='block';}
}


function showhide(id) {
if (document.getElementById(id).style.display=="none"){
document.getElementById(id).style.display="block"
}
else{
document.getElementById(id).style.display="none"
}
}

in HTML:

  Home page
  Technology

Though I'm sure the JavaScript could be cut further.

Subject: [WSG] question about CSS menu (javascript)


Hello.  I'm doing a drop-down menu (a bit differently than usual), and 
there is only one thing I can't seem to accomplish.

The menu is at http://www.drzeus.net/lab/verticalmenu.html

The user should be able to click on a tab to expand it, which it 
currently does, but clicking it again should contract the menu (that's 
the part I need help with, please).

I realize that a javascript question isn't exactly about standards, but 
since the menu itself is XHTML/CSS, and hopefully others will find the 
menu useful.

Thank you.

Ooops, didn't read your mail carefully enough. It's the little space under
the image you want to get rid of? That's caused by your formatting of HTML,
I think. If you wrote your whole code on one line, it gets rid of the space:

this text should float to the right of the
image

I didn't get around to checking it in a browser yet, but from your code I
guess you have difficulties with it in IE? This could be caused by not
having a width for your #box. If you float you should always have a width.
So in this case you might want to try 

#box{
float: left;
background-color: #FF;
border: 1px solid #3300FF;
Width: [width of test.jpg]
}

HTH.
