Hi Rick,

h2's on search page have wrong title values. A couple of "}}"'s messing
up your CSS validation.

Everybody put the title or URL of the website in the "website check"
message subject, okay?

Thanks! :-)

Did you test this link you just sent me because it doesn't work?   
That's the issue.  When you change & to & the link no longer works.

I am very familiar with the practice but it does not work with the site
I am linking to.

Re: [WSG] Site check please

i'm not sure if this little nuggest is of relevance in this case for the 
site check, but while on the topic of css specificity...

There might be something in that, you know. I'm a novice, myself, and have so much to 
learn,
especially when it comes to the in's and out's of CSS.
Opera seems to be the most dependent on order, or so I thought at first, since 
re-ordering the
styles usually had a good effect. That was until I discovered something really odd. 
Just placing a
'dummy rule' at the top of the style sheet and putting my body styles near the bottom 
cured a whole
heap of problems I was having. Well, this and a couple of 'bug compensators' for IE. 
So much to
learn and so little time...
Sorry I can't offer anything else, but the 'big guns' here on the list have pretty 
much got you
covered. Site looks great from here (IE5.5/6, FF0.8, Opera7.23/WinXP).

Re: [WSG] Site breaking in Mozilla

Hi Ward.

1. I don't understand why Mozilla is dropping the header down about 20px. I
don't have either padding or margins in either the container or the #top
header.
For this one, try setting padding &/or margins of the h1 element to 
zero. I just experienced the same problem on a site I am working on.

h1 { padding: 0; margin: 0; }
Cheers,
Dean.

RE: [WSG] 100% table inside auto width div

2004-04-26 Thread dean burge
thanks jason. adding a doctype to the example code fixed that, but 
uncovered more problems which i managed to figure out with the help of 
the article you posted. i noticed i have white space being output in my 
jsp template before the doctype line - tidying that up fixed the problem.

2004-04-22 Thread dean burge
hi all, virgin poster here, and tfif.

i'm stuck on a css layout with left, center and right columns. left and 
right columns have fixed width, and the center column fills the gap in 
between. how do i make a table in the center column the full width 
(using css or otherwise)? works as expected in firefox, but having 
troubles with internet explorer. any help greatly appreciated. example 
code below;



test

#left { width: 100px; float: left; border: 1px solid red; }
#right { width: 100px; float: right; border: 1px solid red; }
#middle { width: auto; margin: 10px 110px; padding: 10px; border: 1px solid red; }
table#a { width: 100%; border: 1px solid green; }
table#b { width: auto; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; border: 1px solid blue; }
