If you're talking about Suckerfish dropdowns and select elements, I've  
come across these:

I have a drop down menu that is falling behind the form elements in IE 6.
Does anyone know a work around?
Thank you in advance

Re: [WSG] Disappearing positioned footer in IE7 - works in IE6

[Stuart Foulstone]

This is an excellent example of why not to use hacks, but use your design
skills.

re: [WSG] what is semantic?

[dstone]

 
Navii:

Below is brief description of it.  There is also an article in the new 
"Economist" by Tim Berners-Lee.

+

The word semantic stands for the meaning of. The semantic of something is the 
meaning of something. 

The Semantic Web is a web that is able to describe things in a way that 
computers can understand.

The Beatles was a popular band from Liverpool.
John Lennon was a member of the Beatles.
The record "Hey Jude" was recorded by the 
Beatles.

Sentences like these can be understood by people. But how can they be 
understood by computers?

Statements are built with syntax rules. The syntax of a language defines the 
rules for building the language statements. But how can syntax become semantic?

This is what the Semantic Web is all about. Describing things in a way that 
computers applications can understand.

The Semantic Web is not about links between web pages.  

The Semantic Web 
describes the relationships between things (like A is a part of B and Y is a 
member of  
Z) and the properties of things (like size, weight, age, and 
price)

It uses RDF (tags) for describing 
information and resources on the web.

Re: [WSG] Disappearing positioned footer in IE7 - works in IE6

[Alex Robinson]

IE7 doesn't support * html:




Except that very page says "[strict mode only fix]".

When in quirks mode you get the worst of both worlds since IE7 does 
not behave the same as IE6 even though it's picking up the same 
declarations. I'd wager that's what lies behind the developers' 
mantra of "Conditional comments, conditional comments, conditiional 
comments"...


Another reason to always use Strict mode if you can ;)

Re: [WSG] Disappearing positioned footer in IE7 - works in IE6

[al morris]

Hi,

IE 7 now supports the *html hack, so the 'position: relative' style is being
applied. You can still add hacks for IE 6 and/or IE 7 but it's tricky..

If you need to send something to IE6 and nothing else: use the underscore
attribute hack (_border:1px solid pink;)

If you want to send something to IE7 AND IE6, use the attribute hack
(*border:1px solid black;).

If you want to send something to IE7 and NOT IE6, use a combination
(*border:1px solid black; _border:1px solid pink;).

Try adding an underscore in the IE 6 class...

*html #bottom_nav {   /*Enables the footer to be positoned below the
wrapper in IE6*/

   _position: relative;

   bottom: -75px;

   right: 25px;

   text-align: right;

   width: 100%;

   height: 50px;

}

 Hello All –



I was having an absolutely-positioned footer problem in IE6 which was
fixed with the following:



#bottom_nav {/*Compliant Browsers*/

position: absolute;

bottom: -75px;

right: 25px;

text-align: right;

width: 100%;

height: 50px;

}



*html #bottom_nav {   /*Enables the footer to be positoned below the

position: relative;

bottom: -75px;

right: 25px;

text-align: right;

width: 100%;

height: 50px;

}



Yes, well, now that IE 7 has come out the footer ***Poof!*** vanishes –
like it did under IE6 previous to the implementation of he above *html
declaration.



Could someone give me a lead on what to do about this issue in IE 7?



Unfortunatly, I am not allowed to use conditional comments to issue
version specific declarations – which makes problems like these very
difficult to deal with.



If you'd like to see the problem live, please go to
http://terashock.terapad.com/ in FF or IE6 and scroll to the bottom of the
page to view how the footer is suppose to look; then view the same page in
IE7.



Any and all assistance greatly appreciated!
