RE: [WSG] right column help
Is there a reason why you can't do both column faux with the page background? Surely the grey background on the right will be obscured by the top header image and the h1 (with an #fff background) if you put it in the page background. Considering you have a fixed width layout I'd certainly suggest doing both column backgrounds using the background image for the page. You're going to run into countless difficulties with the current method as you add content to pages. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Lindsey (blueyonder) Sent: Wednesday, 3 November 2004 11:51 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [WSG] right column help Hi I'm just starting to do all my layouts in pure css and struggling a little bit!

RE: [WSG] Mail with xhtml/css layout
You can style emails with css. Because of what many email clients (web based and otherwise) do to the code you have to do all the css inline. There was an article over at alistapart.com a while ago http://www.alistapart.com/articles/cssemail/ A couple of additional points 1. Hotmail will change url to nourl so you can't have background images for your css 2. Gmail basically destroys anything you throw at it as far as I can tell. I'd advise against sending anything but plain text but if it's what a client wants then... yes, it is possible. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Javier Sent: Thursday, 4 November 2004 4:08 AM To: Web Standards Group Subject: [WSG] Mail with xhtml/css layout Hi All I need to make a mail with xhtml/css.

RE: [WSG] Help with position: fixed;
That's what should be happening.
The browser is putting the section at the top of the page as the fixed header and
table of content aren't influencing the positioning of #main.
A quick and dirty solution is to have this
#one, #two, #three {padding-top:100px;}
instead of padding the top of #main
Emphasis on the quick and dirty there - I'm sure there's a much better solution.

Hello to everyone!
I have the following issue
I have a page with fixed header and a set of internal links (anchor
identifiers). The problem is in that when I follow the link the heading
hides under the fixed header.
Link to page: http://shevtsov.fanstvo.com/tests/fixed-header.html (CSS
is embeded into the page)
Thanks in advance.

RE: [WSG] My CSS not multi browser - help needed
There's a few issues I could point out. Firstly, there are plenty of good fixed width 2 column layouts with a header and footer that will help show you some good practices. A google search for css layouts will help there. I thought about listing the most important issues regarding css positioning. First up though, I did a quick hack of the css you had and also deleted a couple of superfluous divs that weren't needed in the html. Have a look http://www.horologe.com.au/ppa/home.htm http://www.horologe.com.au/ppa/css/layout.css It's not real pretty or optimal or well tested but hopefully, looking at the differences in the two (your version vs my edit) should help show you what you're doing that's making it look strange in Moz. I would point out that IE's ahem - shortcomings are teaching you some rather nasty habits. Try developing your layouts with a browser which does layouts in a more...sensible fashion and then adjust for IE's quirks later. Let us know your questions. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Robert O'Neill Sent: Thursday, 1 July 2004 9:41 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [WSG] My CSS not multi browser - help needed Hello all, this is my first attempt at moving from tables to CSS for layout: http://www.ppa.org.uk/test/afc/no_tables/home.htm Looks as expected in IE6 but navigation does not float as expected in Opera and in Mozilla the footer moves to the top of the page.

[WSG] IE float positioning
Hi guys, Looking for some insight into float on IE. I have an image inside a div, that renders beyond the bottom of that div (deliberately.) Now, what I want is for the barckground image of the div below to render underneath the transparent area of the image - which is what mozilla does. IE however, starts the next div to the right of the earlier div. The html is as below. I used a negative top margin on B to get it to be positioned right beneath A. ... div id = A img src = _img alt = _alt / /div div id = B ... I hope that's somewhat clear. Any suggestions? * The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list getting help *
RE: [WSG] Suggestions about what to do here ...
Personally I find the different sizes most browsers will use for fonts mean that I always do fonts in pixel sizes. I think that WinIE4/5 implements small as the initial value so when you use smaller in the body it get's very small. However, I tried it in IE5 and 5.5 and the font size seemed ok to me. The menu however is definitely broken in IE5 and 5.5 -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Michael Kear Sent: Thursday, 25 March 2004 12:46 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [WSG] Suggestions about what to do here ... What do you guys think I should do about this . A user has logged into my bluegrass Australia web site as a member (http://bluegrass.org.au ) and says when he logs in, he cant read the site any more, because the text is too small and the menus don't work properly. The menus don't work properly because I have a javascript error, thats under control, I can fix that. But the font size thing is a bit of a worry. I asked him about his environment and heres what he said he has: Intel Celeron 650 meg processor, ATI graphics card, 256 meg RAM, Mitsubishi monitor. I run windows 98, IE 5. Heres how I see it. I can: [A] say hes got IE5, tell him to take a jump because he needs to upgrade. (Ive done that, but if theres another answer thats easy Id like to do that too hes not alone) [B] just let him lump it and use the CTRL-Wheel to increase the font size [C] change the style sheets to accommodate IE5 users.

RE: [WSG] CSS Shorthand for color
When Brian mentioned older browsers/backwards compatibility my first thought was about the web safe pallette. On second glance at the question I don't know how relevant it was to the topic. Of course the web safe color pallette isn't very relevant anymore :) Brian, if you were actually referring to whether using #fff instead of #ff in a CSS file would cause problems in older browsers - I think perhaps Navigator 4.X had a problem with them (the only browser that did have a problem). Of course, NN4 has problems with most CSS so that can be ignored anyway! -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Leo J.
