[WSG] alphabetic horizontal list problem
I need to create an alphabetic horizontal list to link to content on a page - problem I am having is that I want to float the list right but when I do that the alphabetic list is ordered from Z - A instead of A - Z. Any clue as to how to solve this problem? Stephanie Champion
Re: [WSG] alphabetic horizontal list problem
If the list is a ul/ul based list you should be able to float the ul right.
If that is giving problems then you might need to wrap a div around it and float the div right.
The following code uses a bit of JS to make getting the list easier, but has a floated right ul (with appropriate inline style on the li) and seems to work correctly...
htmlheadstylebody{font: 10pt 'Lucida Grande',Arial,Tahoma,Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif;}#index1{float: right;}#index1 li
{display: inline;margin-left: 3px;margin-right: 3px;}/style
/head
body
ul id=index1scriptvar alphabet = ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ;for(i=0;i26;i++){document.write(li+alphabet.substr(i,1)+/li);
}/script/ul
/body/html

[WSG] Border-style: double Experiments
Hi all, well, I think this is my first e-mail to this great list (or at least, one of the first ones). I have been reading since more than 1 year, and I have learned a lot. I have been experimenting with double borders in CSS. They are really cool. Lot of weird/cool effects can be achieved by using double borders and playing with margins, paddings, floatings and backgrounds... lot of fun. Well, I'am far away to finish the site but I want to share (and show) my experiment (that maybe has some mutuations until I finish the site). --- http://www.efectoscluster.com.ar/index.php -- I have only tested it in Mozilla Firefox 1.0.5/Win and IE6/Win. I really dont care other browsers... ;) (the true is : dont have any other browser installed, and here in Argentina, most people uses IE6, but thats another story...). Thanks!

Stephanie,
Float the alphabet letters left, then float their container right, e.g.,
div id=container
ul
lia href=#AA/a/li
lia href=#BB/a/li
lia href=#CC/a/li
...
lia href=#ZZ/a/li
/ul
/div
div#container
{
float: right;
}
div#container li
{
float: left;
}
(untested, but should be close)

RE: [WSG] Eric meyers on crashing IE
Sorry for another post. I just wanted to clarify. I didn't write the post on crashing IE. I cut and pasted the post by Eric Meyers. I thought it would be more convenient to provide his insights than to make you click on a link and go to his web site. There was also a link in there. I just don't want to take credit for the prose of someone else, Eric gets the kudos and observations, I was merely the messenger. Ted P.S. Patrick Lauke came up with a killer version of the zebra stripe _javascript_ which I am sure he will share with the list when it is ready.

[WSG] site check please
Hi All I've been working on a re-design of my web site and I know the code is still rough. However, I think I could use some outside eyeballs on the design. You know how things are when you look at it for too long... http://www.tdrake.net/joan/index-liquid.html I was trying to keep it liquid but I've settled on a more static approach and I will tell you now that I am sacrificing 800X600 monitors. They will have to do some scrolling. As a photographer, I wanted larger images in my galleries and feel this is an appropriate sacrifice. I'd appreciate comments on anything that looks broken, odd, messy, or whatever. I need to do some serious cleaning up on it this weekend and then transforming it to a theme for Wordpress.

turning images off - RE: [WSG] site check please
Hi everyone
Georg brought up a great point.
The site design is completely illegible with images turned off. I have a
black background color set on the body and black text. I need to place a
white background on the content section to provide a readable area when the
images are disabled.
I think this is a very valid point for site design and I thank you for
pointing it out.
Thank you again for the comments, it will make my de-bugging this weekend
much more productive.

I really like the look of that one - but...
- Scrolling left isn't easy, so maybe try this adjustment:
body { padding-left: 95px;}
...tested in Opera, Firefox IE6.
(I can even make it line up perfectly in Opera 8's 'fit to window width'
with this adjustment.}
Major flaw:
- Redefine font-size on body for IE/win. Using Ems triggers the 'extreme
font-steps bug' in IE. Makes the columns overlap on 'largest' and text
unreadable on 'smallest'. Use '%' instead.
- Minor flaw on a photographer's site maybe, but trying to read the
page with 'images off' is 'no good'.
- Search could do with something like:
#search {min-height: 4em; _height: 4em;}
Other minor points:
- A few pixels of the background-image showing at the very bottom.
- Footer weak for font-resizing since the background don't size with it.

Re: [WSG] Unicode in Visual Studio? For xhtml, css ?
True it probably isn't needed in most cases, except where it may be included in an html file that is not utf-8 and the CSS file actually contains utf-8 characters. In fact, according to w3c the character encoding is usually reliably determined form the first few bytes of the file anyways [http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/syndata.html#q23]. Elsewhere it is said CSS files inherit the charset from the HTML file in which they are included, or default to utf-8. kind regards Terrence Wood. On 22 Jul 2005, at 4:59 PM, T. R.

[WSG] div overflow inner div issues
Hi list, I'm in a bit of a twist and need help. I have a css-based dropdown list with div's. I needed this as I need to have images with my dropdown list options which I can't achieve with a normal dropdown (select) field. Now that I have this dropdown list, I have a few issues with it, both in Firefox and IE on Windows, not sure about other browser, but i suspect its the same. ok, enough of the rant. You can checkout an example of what i'm doing here: http://203.202.1.246/wsg/dropdown3.html . What i'm trying to do here, is have multiple dropdown lists where a user can select from the list and the textbox beside it is set with the selected value. What i've done is have a 2-column table, first column has the dropdown list and the 2nd has the textbox. This table is wrapped in a div with its height set to 200px so that i can get a scrolling effect. This should hide the other dropdowns until the div is scrolled and they show up. Now the problems that i have with this are: - In both Firefox and IE, when the dropdowns are listed one after the other vertically, the lower dropdowns show up (sorry, can't explain futher, but please have a look at the example) - In firefox, the inner divs are hidden fine, but when you click on the dropdown image, the LIST div shows up towards the bottom of the page. I believe this is cause of the relative positioning, but not sure how to fix it. - In IE, all the dropdown divs are shown (well the text Select a symbol), and is not hidden automatically like firefox. Any help with this would be great and i'm at my wit's end with this. If you know of an alternative, that would be great as well. Also, I'm using the IE7 javascript so that IE will hide the div options, but that didn't help much. cheers, AJ Do you Yahoo!?

Got an error on that page. You appear to be missing the ##'s around expandPath. Could not find the included template expandPath(header.cfm). Note: If you wish to use an absolute template path (e.g. TEMPLATE=/mypath/index.cfm) with CFINCLUDE then you must create a mapping for the path using the ColdFusion Administrator. Using relative paths ( e.g. TEMPLATE=index.cfm or TEMPLATE=../index.cfm) does not require the creation of any special mappings. It is therefore recommended that you use relative paths with CFINCLUDE whenever possible.

yeah, try it again, i was trying to get around a w3c error saying it couldnt find the closing body tag but its there. cutting up the page into header, nav and footer sections, when u do that the validator takes a crapFrom: Gary Menzel [EMAIL PROTECTED]Sent: Saturday, July 23, 2005 1:26 AMTo: wsg@webstandardsgroup.orgSubject: Re: [WSG] 2 ?'sGot an error on that page. You appear to be missing the ##'s around expandPath. Could not find the included template expandPath(header.cfm). Note: If you wish to use an absolute template path (e.g. TEMPLATE="/mypath/index.cfm") with CFINCLUDE then you must create a mapping for the path using the ColdFusion Administrator. Using relative paths ( e.g. TEMPLATE="index.cfm" or TEMPLATE="../index.cfm") does not require the creation of any special mappings. It is therefore recommended that you use relative paths with CFINCLUDE whenever possible.

Re: [WSG] 2 ?'s
Remove all the whitespace between each set of the li/li tags. That will make IE behave. i.e: no whitespace inbetween the sets of tags. lia href="" href="" service/a/lilia href="" href="" album/a/lilia href="" href="" us/a/lilia href="" href="" href="" board/a/li This same problem happenes if you create a display:inline li item - it renders one white space if there are any.
