RE: [WSG] Semantic markup of a byline & date/time

> Did you manage to find a solution to this?

 
Hi Ben,
 
I ended up using this structure:
 
   
Nam vestibulum leo id condimentum
Dominus 23, 2008 - 10:36AM
Page 1 of 3 Single page view
Comments
45
   

This is going to be a snippet which can be skinned, hence I wrapped it
into a div to allow for backgrounds. The H5 gives the byline the weight
it needs semantically over other content. I found  to be
appropriate for the time stamp as it's a reference to when the article
was published (but I clearly see room for discussion on this).
 
For the other information I just used ordinary paragraphs with
appropriate classes to style them.
 
Cheers,
 
Jens

Normally I use DIVs with appropriate class names.

Hi Jens,

Normally I'd use spans for all 3 elements, but I'm quite interested to find
out a better way of doing this.
Did you manage to find a solution to this?

Ben

Re: [WSG] firefox treatment of wrapper overflow height

2008-07-16 Thread Matijs
These days it's also known how to do a clear without an additional clearing
div... try giving the troublesome div overflow:hidden en you should also be
sorted.

Re: [WSG] firefox treatment of wrapper overflow height

2008-07-16 Thread kevin mcmonagle

Thank you david,
a tip from that article has me sorted.

I put a div at the bottom of the rapper content like this:

   

.clear{clear:both}

nice trick just kind of forces,


but I still dont understand why the outer wrapper would'nt scale 
automatically with three
columns in an inner wrapper with no heights set anywhere /unless /the  
outerwrapper was floated left or right itself..

Yes. If the content has A.P. blocks or floats that are not "contained"
then the containing DIV might not expand.

If the problem is due to floats, there are several methods available
for "containing" them here:

 

Cordially,

What you would want to do is learn a programming language like PHP 
http://us2.php.net/tut.php


Stay away from FrontPage it isn't even supported by Microsoft anymore.

Re: [WSG] Opera opacity bug

Hi Tee,

As James mentioned, what is the Bug Report number (#) you were  
issued with? I'll follow up here for you.


Kind regards,


Frank and James, thanks for the response.

I haven't a clue what the Bug Report number is, and I don't remember  
if I ever gotten one. It was a web form system, I simply filled up the  
form, gave the symptom, detail, and link for the example. I must have  
prompted a 'Thank you for filing a bug report' message after it was  
sent. Sorry, that's all I could remember.


Here is the page with opacity declared in CSS
http://www.lotusfromthemud.com/about1 (bottom section)

and here is the recent encounter
http://marinersq.com/

It's a mootools slideshow, using ken burns effect, when the image pans  
out, you can clearly see the opacity is lost. I informed the author of  
the script, he said he will look into it and see if it can be fixed  
from his ends, however I really think this is caused by Opera opacity  
bug.


I also think this bug must be quite random and unpredictable. As you  
can see, the background for the caption also has opacity, and it does  
work. When I googled 'opera opacity bug', I landed a few sites that  
reported it was fixed, I checked the examples, it seems it was. But  
it's not for my case.


is there -opera-opacity rule?
