Re: [WSG] Page-Break-X

As much as I have tested, this only seems to work in Opera.

Maybe you should just try to force page-break after every third
office-div (it seems that three of those fit nicely on one page...
especially when you remove the header). Probably adding some
class="third office" on the server side and something like:

.third {
page-break-after: always;
}

or this might work even better:

.third + div {
page-break-before: always;
}




Cheers Rene,

Yeah pity there is no better/more automatic way to do it.

I should be able to implement a 3rd break pretty easily with a touch of 
php :)


Thanks again everyone,
Jack

 Try "page-break-inside: avoid;" on your divs.


Yeah am using that at the moment but it doesn't seem to do anything...

Have got

.office {
border: 1px solid gray;
margin: 10px 0;
padding: 5px;
page-break-inside: avoid;
}

[WSG] Page-Break-X

2006-03-16 Thread Jack Pivac
Well i've cleaned up my code, and tried using various page-break- rules 
that i've found from google.. but I can't seem to get it doing what I 
need...


http://temp.delphinus.co.nz/office_details_test.html

I would like to put as many "office" divs as possible on a page, but 
when that div is going to overlap onto a 2nd page I would like the whole 
thing to be on the 2nd page, so the div isn't chopped in half.


Can anyone give me any pointers please?

Kind Regards,
Jack

In that case, the  look acceptable, the rest don't. 
Although besides the divs, there are some other things I'd be more 
concerned about.


yes that is terribly sloppy, I agree 100%. still very much a work in 
progress. Copying and pasting from various other files.

But thankyou very much for your comments. Will fix those things up.

With that many, you may be overusing/abusing the div element.  It's a 
common mistake, often referred to as "div-mania" (or something along 
those lines).  You should probably try and find more semantic elements.


So in this case

What would you recommend instead?

[WSG] page break when printing

2006-03-09 Thread Jack Pivac

I have a page with about 20-30 div's each about 200-300px height.
Unfortunately when printing they sometimes get divided between 2 
pages... is there any way round this?
Its for an internal thing, so it doesn't _have_ to work with IE, just FF 
will be fine, but IE'ness would be nice.


Cheers,
Jack

Hi Jack,
There shouldnt be any need for a table here. just mark your list up as
a list and float your image to one side. something like this:

http://c41.com.au/test/delphinus_example/index.html
(css in the head so just view source)

hoping thats what you meant :)
pete


Thats a much better idea! cheers i'll give that go now :)

The simplest way would be to wrap the bits you want to have on the left 
(title, pic, price, etc) in some sort of containing element such as a 
 and float it left.


I'd suggest floating your green paragraph to the right, but that would 
require it to come first in the source I believe, and that's probably 
not a good idea. If nothing else, it will realy confuse people who don't 
get the benefit of CSS (older browsers, text browser, screen readers, 
etc) to see the details before the title! ;)


Cheers,

Seona.


but if i float it left.. then doesn't that mean i have the wrap the 
whole lot in another div.. and overflow: auto; that, which requires a 
width for it to work in IE... but was after a more liquid layout...


Open to any ideas.

Sorry, but you would have to use 'br' or a list. Pre wrapped text does
not break, that's how it behaves.



Ok thats fine, I've just used some php to add the 'br's in automatically.

But does anyone have any idea how to put that alongside the title and

And is there a way to put the green text up at the same height, and to

So we have:

Use Web Developer... If you are using Firefox, which you should :)
https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?id=60&application=firefox

Its got a resize option and will resize your browser window to 800x600 
or other custom resolutions you can set.

Amongst other very cool features.

[WSG] internet exploder margins

2006-02-22 Thread Jack Pivac

As you can see on http://temp.delphinus.co.nz/newsite/

(blue there only for visibility purposes)

IE for some reason is adding an extra 10px margin to the left of the 
house/shop picture... where opera and FF are not...

if i set the margin to 0px then it flushes up nice along the left side

I'm trying to work out how to center those 3 li/images with a bit of 
spacing in between.


Can anyone give me any tips please?

Kind Regards,
Jack
