ahh a site wide style sheet and then individual page style sheets-thats very
helpful- im glad i asked. Also i like the idea of not spending time on a
half arsed style sheet for 4.0th generation browsers, just give them the
content eh. 
thanks guys

Re: [WSG] {Spam?} stupid question

[Alex Katechis]

Just to elaborate, you might have one stylesheet named "site.css" with 
site-wide styles, such as banners, link-styles, headers, etc. Then you might 
have another stylesheet called "forum.css" for your message boards, and 
another called "products.css" for a page with pictures of products, etc.

This way, the styles in "site.css" aren't in every single css file, saving 
space. Also saves loading time, because in the products page you probably 
wont need the forums styles...

Well, if you mean that using @import excludes some browsers: it is
acceptable. If you consider that most of your styling won't even work
in the browsers that don't @import, then you're better off. The
average CSS styled website won't work well in NS4, IE4 and all those,
if you know what I mean. They don't even support it correctly. So
acceptable? It's the better thing to do. Cause you gotta know this:
content is better for them than a heavily broken layout.

Thanks-it makes sense-
It would be smart to break large style sheets down into managable chunks.

I see a lot of high traffic sites that only use the @import method that
would not work well unstyled. Is this acceptable yet?

The IE peekaboo bug is insidious, but it does not affect FF or Opera.
On  #content change the background color from #FFF to Fuchsia, and view  
the page in FF-- the problem, not necessarily the solution, will be more  
obvious..
The page is at http://atalkingdog.com and  
the

[WSG] you've been framed - Pt3

[designer]

Hi Martin, et al,

I've taken your code and added a menu to the top of it, and it works after a
fashion. It doesn't work in IE5.5 and I don't know what to do with it, esp
as I don't fully understand what the IE expression is doing.

If you go to:

http://www.treyarnon.fsworld.co.uk/kernow/propertydetails/200kmax.html

you will see that I've linked some pages together, to see how it all fits.
The 'house of the month' page just goes barmy at low res (640 by 480) and
indeed, on the other pages, the div with the tabular data sort of slips
under the menu div!  I've overcome this by putting a 50px pad at the top of
the data div, but I feel rather like I'm wandering about in the dark, not
really in control, and certainly not yet producing anything worth having!

If you get chance to look (anybody) I'd be really grateful for
suggestions/explanations etc. (Yes, I know it's Easter . . . :-)

Thanks a bunch.

Re: [WSG] Peekaboo Bug giving problems

Hi Mike,
Your content seems to have dropped down a good bit (I didn't see any 
until I scrolled down, in fact) in FF and Opera, mac os 10.3. I can 
email you a screen shot off-list if it would help.

Good joke, by the way!
Cheers,
Wendy

[WSG] Peekaboo Bug giving problems

[Mike Kear]

I seem to be chasing the IE peekaboo bug around my web
page.  Every time I get rid of it in one place, it gets fixed, only to
reveal itself somewhere else.    Can anyone see what’s
causing it to happen now? 

 

The page is at http://atalkingdog.com
  and the CSS is at http://atalkingdog.com/styles/atalkingdog3.css
