Re: [WSG] Can some of the HTML5 elements be used more than once?
For what it's worth, you can use more than one H1 tag too - the semantic use would be for each section, perhaps for each article's title. I think that should move use of the h1 tag from the logo/title to what it should be used for; headlines, not page titles.

What I have in mind, in a ecommerce site which has 3 columns layout, in which left/right side columns are used for reports (e.g., recently view, upsell, related products, poll or newsletter etc...). So can I have? aside id=leftcol/aside section id=middle-col/section aside id=rightcol/aside p/s. I know I can do something like below but for layout/design consideration, this may not be the best approach sometimes. section id=middle-col/section aside div class=sidecol1/div div class=sidecol2/div /aside Similarly, can nav element be used twice? One for cateogries menu, and one for general menu that is used for Customer Service, FAQ sort of the pages.

Re: [WSG] Need a fresh eye - can anyone see what's wrong please?
I agree, consolidate background-image, background-repeat and *-position into
one 'background' statement. Easier and saves a few bytes.

Mike -
You have put the background color and image under background-image. Why
don't you consolidate all of your backround statements into one:
#footer {
color: #d9d9d9;
background: #33 url(images/Footer_background_s1.jpg) repeat-x
top;
min-height: 96px;
}
Otherwise, you need to separate background-image and background-color.

I have a draft layout for a client that is fine in all respects except
that
in IE8, the background image in the footer is missing.
Here's the page concerned:
http://afpwebworks.com/strikingdistance/index.cfm
And the footer div rule is as follows for IE (I have a IE-only style
sheet)
:
#footer {
color: #d9d9d9;
background-image: #33 url(images/Footer_background_s1.jpg);
background-repeat: repeat-x;
background-position: top;
min-height: 96px;
}
Both the HTML and the CSS validate ok.
So does any one see what I have wrong for IE?

Re: [WSG] advice on background images?
Again, I'm not sure if this deserves place in WSG, but to give you some direction: Photoshop has an Offset filter. Combined with the clone tool you can usually generate repeating images relatively quickly. Quality depends on a lot of factors though. I would recommend you try somewhere like cgtalk.com (or email me directly) for better instructions.

Re: [WSG] IE 6 Nightmares
To concur with Thierry, the float on #mainContent appears unnecessary on this page. Give it a margin, or padding, to push the content off the left bar and you should be good to go.

I’m developing a site that has to work in all modern browsers and IE 6. Here is the link to a sample page: http://www.jasonbyer.com/dev/new/ The problem that I’m having is that currently the page looks fine in IE 6 but in Firefox the navigation doesn’t extend the entire width of the screen. That's because #mainContent is a float and without a width it shrinkwraps There are many ways to style this, but fwiw I'd not use float on that container, I'd make it a block formatting context (e.g., overflow:hidden;zoom:1) and then go from there. As a side note, there is no need to use height:1% on the side bar (it is a float so it has a layout already) -- Regards, Thierry www.tjkdesign.com | www.ez-css.org | @thierrykoblentz *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: memberh...@webstandardsgroup.org *** *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: memberh...@webstandardsgroup.org ***
Re: [WSG] Rendering mismatch in IE6 and IE7
In addition to other advice, you may find that starting with a blank css sheet and adding in each instruction one by one, and seeing how each has an effect on the content. Ok, seems obvious, but this will a) provide you with information on how each instruction is working, either adversely or by design b) enabling you to learn more how and why certain bugs appear, speeding up development and debugging in future projects and c) can provide insight to redundant instructions, again speeding up future dev and debug time. As much of a PIA as this may seem, it can be quite interesting, and considering you've already written the css, it needn't take long. Admittedly, mostly obvious and I apologise if anything appears condescending - that is most certainly not my intent. I just think its worth bearing in mind some good old fashioned detective work can work wonders. In addition, to add weight to others suggestions, using browser specific debugging tools in conjunction with this approach has saved me time (and hair!) in the past.

You may find the Sitepoint CSS reference useful for seeing which selectors and properties IE 6 actually supports: http://reference.sitepoint.com/css Doubtless you have heard complaints about the colorful bugs with which this 8+ year old browser is so well endowed. The bugs are quite well documented, but tend to pop up in unexpected places.

Hi all,
I have Googled @media but it is hard to get to what I want because Google
doesn't seem to recognise the '@'. So, please stick with me whilst I ask
some daft questions:
1. Is there a list showing browser support for @media?
2. I want to combine my ordinary CSS with my print style sheet by including
an @media print {} declaration - does it matter where this goes in the
stylesheet?
3. Do you know of any links which expand on @media, generally?
Before anyone shouts 'off-topic', may I point out that this came about
because of the bereastreet link in the latest LFLR from Russ ! :-)
