The links to the files are absolute, so my guess is these users  
either have some funny settings in thier IE 7, anti-virus programs,

However if someone could have a look in IE 7 I would appreciate it.

Thanks,

Bob

Re: [WSG] Popup 'box' on hover

[Jixor - Stephen I]

I would create a css solution, with some unobtrusive javascript to 
enhance the functionality (such as to make it follow the mouse, animate 
in/out, etc.) Even then if the user has IE5 with JS turned off clicking 
the image could always take them to an enlarged view.


I would make a link positioned relative and then place a span or 
something in the link that will have position absolute and display none, 
then on a:hover it could have display block. So you would have a basic 
enlargement, from there you could use js to replace your basic css 
driven enlargement with something a little more fancy.

Re: [WSG] Popup 'box' on hover

[Jermayn Parker]

Just a question, 
does it have to be enlarged on hover?? That can be pretty messy and
ugly if you mouse over it by accident. I would think onclick would be a
better option with arrows to go to the next image etc like lightbox.

Hi Andrew,

The issue is that you can't technically use the display: table  
property that way.


Yes, you can. Per

an UA will/should insert a table-row and table-cell element.

But Safari 2.0.x is buggy in this (and  Gecko -Firefox- is buggy the  
other way around, sometimes inserting too many table-rows).


The best solution is
1. use another technique to generate a new block formatting context  
on the div where you currently use display:table. Using  
'overflow:hidden' is a better solution in many cases.

2. or: wrap your form in an extra div.

I'd go for the first solution, as it will avoid potential issues with  
Gecko browsers.

Hi Andrew,

The issue is that you can't technically use the display: table

need a display: table-row and display: table-cell. Your example is  
something akin to the following old-school HTML:

Which is obviously unusual. Beware, also; the display: table property  
doesn't work at all in any version of IE. Check out http://

RE: [WSG] Popup 'box' on hover

[Ted Drake]

I think it was Jeremy Keith that railed against having CSS do what
JavaScript should do and vice versa.

This is going beyond what CSS is good for. You'll have inconsistent
behaviors, require the user to download invisible images, and more. 

I'd suggest looking at the container library with the YUI. You'll get great
control of the hover activity and the positioning of the popup/div. You can
also use AJAX to grab the image dynamically or use the YUI lazy loader to
save the initial download expense of the invisible image.

It is ultimately laziness, but I don't want to have to expend the 
mental effort to distinguish between invalid CSS that is the result 
of a mistake and invalid CSS that is the result of hacking around IE.

 Or put another way, I don't want to get into the habit of being used
 to seeing my CSS not validate with the automatic test.


Well, since "valid" doesn't mean "applied according to standard", I have
to proofread my CSS anyway. I can't rely on the validator more than on
the spell-checker in the email client I use, so I do indeed distinguish
between "mistakes" and "intentional hacking" - regardless of whether the
latter are valid or not.

It would be nice if the validator would flag "nonsensical" combinations
of properties/values, so I could see at a glance where combinations like...
Element {
float: left;
margin: 6px;
display: inline;
}
...have been used, since "valid" combinations like that only serve the
purpose of killing an old browser bug. The usefulness of the validator
reports would be so much greater then.


This works for all browsers - with a bit of care.


I assume here you mean 'all current major desktop browsers'?


One has to draw the line somewhere, but I often check beyond the "major
desktop browsers" if I apply one of the potentially more disturbing
workarounds. How far I go depends on the case, the major user-group and
the client.
Whether or not a "disturbance" is acceptable, also depends on how
"standard compliant", implicit also how "current", the "disturbed"
browser is. That outweighs how "major" a browser in need of a workaround
is - in most cases.

Georg

There is no hard correlation between them.

the data would be similar to this:

@ |  "at"
$ | "dollar sign"


Going like that, its easy to see that column B defines column A symbol.

But, along the same lines, it could be grouped with a thead like

What iStockPhoto does is a no-click interface where you just hover over 
things to expand them and off to make them disappear. iStock's thing 
uses javascript to keep the box positioned relative to the cursor, but 
that's just extra unnecessary hassle (Stu's methods can be used with JS

actually very irritating to have the text and image you're focussing on

Re: [WSG] Popup 'box' on hover

[Nick Roper]

That's cool, but I wanted to try and avoid having to use 'real-estate' 
on the page. A popup allows the larger image to display without having 
to allocate permanent space for it in the layout.


Thanks for the link, as I'm sure that will come in handy anyway.

RE: [WSG] IE & help

[Steve Green]

I have IE7 on Windows XP SP2 and all the Zip files download ok. Some of them
contain Word documents, and the machine opens these in WordPad because I
don't have Word on it. I get the error message "Unable to load graphics
conversion filter", which is probably to be expected. The document still
opens if I select Yes when prompted to continue. If I select No, I get a
message "An unexpected error occurred...", which is actually to be expected.

I don't have any 'funny settings', AV, firewall software or anything like
that, and suspect your presumption is correct.

My Windows (server 2000) testing computer has IE 6 on it and all works 
fine.


The links to the files are absolute, so my guess is these users either 
have some funny settings in thier IE 7, anti-virus programs, or some 
Norton firewall-like application.


However if someone could have a look in IE 7 I would appreciate it.

Thanks,

Bob

I tried it in both IE7 and Firefox and it seems to work fine here.

I can download them OK and am running both hardware and software firewall  
with Avast antivirus.

RE: [WSG] When is invalid CSS okay?

[michael.brockington]

I think that a more appropriate example would be using:
-moz-border-radius   
Any validator should tell you that this is non-standard, but it is up to
you to decide whether or not to use it.

Mike

Hi all, hope you can help. I have a problem with a page in safari.

I won't bore you with the backstory, but this is from a large and
complex template deployment over a range of websites that I have
little control over. To solve a problem that kept cropping up due to
Block Formatting Context, I used a well documented fix: set the
containing div to display:table;

All seemed well, didn't seem to break anything, tested, rolled it
out... zap! problem!

Here is a completely stripped out version of the page, displaying the issue.
http://www.woowoowoo.com/safari-bug/formbug.html
In all browsers there is (should be) a form. In Safari, there is not.
It just vanishes!

I can fix it two ways:
- wrap the form in a div
- remove the display:table; rule on the enclosing div
neither of which are very palatable in the context of the site.

I would prefer to find some way with CSS to make Safari display the
form as it should. Thus far, I have had no luck - any takers?

Worth noting that safari 3 displays the page correctly, but that's not
much help in the here and now.

cheers.
