[WSG] cant stop IE 7 unnecessary vertical scrolling

2007-11-05 Thread Samantha Resnick
Hello-
I been working on this site for work, right now its still in the works of
course. I so far [as far as i can tell] got it to work seamlessly in FF and
for the most part, IE 7, my issue is with the height in IE 7, I finally got
my divs to stop vertically scrolling [it was adding in unnecessary height to
my divs]  in IE 7 but while it was doing that my footer was perfectly
sitting on the bottom of the browser, now that I have gotten my divs to be
normal height, as they are in FF, there is still vertical scrolling that
shouldnt be there, I checked my css over and over again, and of course i
notice nothing. I have been to many forums searching for an answer but
everything I find and try doesnt seem to work for my problem. I have to css
files one for FF and one for IE 7. If anyone can help me out here it will be
greatly appreciated.

Just a little info, I have tried: height, _height, /height, min-height. I
even changed my percentages to half of what they are to see if there would
be a change and nothing changed on my end.  Thank you all in advance for
helping me out.

[WSG] Flex and CSS (Not the framework)

2007-11-05 Thread James Jeffery
Hi all.

What relation does Flex have with CSS? I noticed it in the manual many
times but never actually read up on it. Today i did a tad bit of
research during a lecture. At first i was taken to flex.org , which i
understand is different. When i checked the Wiki, it says Flex is a
lexial analyser.

Is the CSS parser created with Flex?

Hi Samantha,

 

I believe your issue is that you are using position: relative in combination
with a negative top offset to align adjacent divs. This leaves the
original space where the div would have been. The extra space is shifted
below the footer because you have height set on the html and body elements
in your CSS. 

 

I would suggest:

1) remove all percentage heights from your CSS

2) use position: absolute to vertically align adjacent divs as this will
take it out of the flow of the document and not leave extra space

 

Regards,

Kepler

Re: [WSG] cant stop IE 7 unnecessary vertical scrolling

2007-11-05 Thread Christian Snodgrass

In my browser (FF, with 1280x1024 resolution) I still have to scroll down.

The problem is your #subcontent with height: 89%. There are a couple of 
problems with using % values for height. The first is that it is quite 
unreliable in general. The second is it's relative to the height of the 
users browser, so when you start mixing absolute and relative heights 
together, unexpected things start happening.


My recommendation is to figure out at what height you want it to be 
total, since it's unlikely you can get it perfect for every resolution, 
and set an absolute value for the height. If you don't want to do that, 
then you may want to try playing with setting the footer to have an 
absolute position to get it to sit at the very bottom of the browser 
(using bottom: 0).

Sorry to pick up on this so late, but have you got any information on
the next version from an accessibility point of view?

Version 1 appears to be a non-starter from an accessibility point of
view, to quote a thread on MSDN:
In 1.0 we don't even have the concept of focus or tabbing to elements
(such as the element you styled to look like a button). In 1.1. we
will.
http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=994143SiteID=1

I've found this to be accurate in a couple of tests, as you can tab to
an input, but not interact with any other elements via the keyboard
(with or without screen reader).

From the nature of the framework I would assume this can be improved,
but have you considered things like ARIA to provide guidance on how to
improve things? Alternatives, control of the tab order, 'roles' 
'states' for objects and how refreshes are dealt with come to mind.

Kind regards,

-Alastair
