[WSG] input type=submit and IE6 and 7

Does anyone know why in IE6 and 7 there is a black outline around buttons that use input type=submit instead of input type=button, and is there a work around to rid of the outline? Webaim.org suggests using 'submit' or 'reset' instead of 'button' to define the input type.

Re: [WSG] input type=submit and IE6 and 7

Hi Nancy, the reason for the black outline around the submit button in IE6 and 7 is that IE renders the buttons with the system API, and if you view each Windows interface, the default button that fires the click event with the enter too is outlined black. I think that It would not be at any

Re: [WSG] multiple css style sheets

You specify different stylesheets for different medias. The most common ones are to target handhelds, print and screenreaders. The user-agent will use the MEDIA attribute to pick the correct stylesheet. It is also possible to provide multiple stylesheets which the user can select from. Though

Re: [WSG] multiple css style sheets

I see no reason not to use multiple stylesheets other than a smaller download time. Each stylesheet should be separated only if it serves a purpose of course. For example, most of my sites currently use this formula: !-- CSS -- link rel=stylesheet type=text/css media=all href=/css/global.css

Hi David, There are actually standard screen sizes, which is why screens like HP's 1280x768 14 screen and Apple's 15 screen were retired quietly. They were new and different, then different, then became non-standard when 14.1 and 15.4 devices preserved a 16:10 aspect ratio. The manufacturers of

Re: [WSG] multiple css style sheets

Hi , How do browsers determine the winner in a conflict... well, AFAIK, they take the first style that is most relevant to the element. That would be the LAST style that is most relevant to the element. (unless !important is used to override the cascade.) It also worth noting that multiple

Re: [WSG] multiple css style sheets

To be a little pedantic, the cascade includes both of those things so it's incorrect to say they override the cascade. My understanding of the cascade is that it includes all the following steps: 1. Sort by importance (i.e. !important or not) 2. Sort by specificity 3. Sort by source order

Hi , I believe @import was originally used by designers to create styles Netscape Navigator 4 would not implement incorrectly. Some other reasons why you might use this rather then multiple link rel declarations, include: You can declare the @import within a CSS file style or style= (you can

RE: [WSG] multiple css style sheets

I think its also improper markup to have more than one stylesheet link so @import might be a way to keep the code modular and still only have one style sheet link. From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kane Tapping Sent: Thursday, 28 February 2008 4:59 PM To:
