Re: [WSG] Opening external links in popup windows with no extra markup

Ideally, it shouldn't require any more effort from the content author. The following page shows a simple demonstration of the solution: http://leftjustified.net/lab/javascript-file-links/ Nice!

Re: [WSG] Making CSS Buttons active
Mike Kear asked:
I'm building a site with a navigation button stack in the left
column, and I'm trying to figure out how to make the whole button
active. I know I've seen it happening somewhere but I can't find
an example right now. Can anyone show me how that is achieved?
Christian Bradford replied:
I believe what you might be missing is a specified width for the
anchor tags to fill the buttons. Your stylesheet's ul.menu li a,
or equivalent, needs a width: 100%; added.
Mike, Christian is correct that, for IE to make the whole button
clickable it needs a dimension. If you don't want a 100% width
you can also give (IE Win only) a height, using the star html hack
and the backslash comment hack to hide it from IE Mac, viz:
/* for IE Win only \*/
* html #yournav a {height: 1em;}
/* stop hiding from Mac */
IE Win will (wrongly) increase the height if necessary.
Cordially,
David
