Re: [WSG] HELP REQUEST: netscape float:absolute problem
Hi Scott
Which version of Netscape..? This is important as with Netscape 4 you
are better off hiding the stylesheet. Netscape 6 is/was a dud so better
off pressing for an upgrade for the 1 % of users who use it.
If you are targeting Netscape 7 then the problem *should* (touch wood)
manifest itself in the other various Gecko browsers - Mozilla, FF,
Camino etc etc.
p class=assistance
Position : relative is positioning relative to where the item is in the
span class=examplecontext/span of the document flow. So If I had
/p
.assistance .example
{
position : relative;
left : -10px;
top : - 20px;
}
would put context somewhere above the is in the ... I think. Haven't
tested it but it should do that.
See 9.3.1 of the CSS 2 spec for more info.
Cheers
James

looks like float:absolute is relative to the viewport, rather than the containing
parent div block.

Re: [WSG] Help with making DIVs behave
Hi Rosie,
The div's not misbehaving, it's the floated image ... but that's how
floats are meant to work.
Clearing the float by adding dl { clear:both; } to your stylesheet will
give you what you want.

That will clear the lower image but you'll need to do the same for the
Archbishop Wood dl as well otherwise Techniques is next to the image and
the techniques themselves are below the image at1024 resolution, awkward
looking.
If you want the Techniques next to the images you need to rework the design
with multiple floats.
In either case, a look at float theory would be helpful:

I think your problem has a bit to do with the box model manhandling of IE6's engine.
When you're using
specified witdths in your CSS, be careful about also specifying the padding -- it'll
break lots of stuff
in IE. Can get around with Tantek's V-F hack
(http://www.tantek.com/CSS/Examples/boxmodelhack.html) or
just avoid using width+padding in block elements.
under #navigation li a, I don't think you should need a width:100% .. li will fill up
the space they reside
in horizontally unless limited by a max-width/width.

Re: [WSG] Help with IE 6
They are right - you dont need width: 100%
the only adverse effect that will have - now you wont see the HOVER
Effect unless you hover over the TEXT and not the BOX
in IE ONLY...
Most other browsers this will work still...
NOTE:
Im only fairly sure what I said is true.
I have been in similar situations, and the width: 100% was the same
issue.
And removing it - caused what I described above to happen...
:)

RE: [WSG] help me please
Hi, There are several things you could try in an attempt to fix this. First, validate your XHTML and CSS. Next, try applying the IE Box Model Hack (http://tantek.com/CSS/Examples/boxmodelhack.html). Since you are using padding and a border on some of your divs, this is likely the problem. IE5.5 misinterprets the CSS Box Model, and thus a hack is needed. HTH.

just copied from the col1 styles down to the end.

Mike,
There are two small problems with this example. You are applying the
clear:both to the #col1 div. This works well in some instances but will fail
if #col2 or #col3 have much longer content. By fail I mean that the other
divs will poke out the bottom of their parent container.
You can see this here:
http://www.maxdesign.com.au/jobs/css/sullivan-daley.htm
Another point (getting picky here, so apologies) is that you are show pixel
sizes for your font-sizes inside the containers. This is not recommended by
the WAI as it is not good for browsers that do not support scaling of
content in pixels (like IE). A better option is to use percents or EM's. A
really good article on this is here:

Re: [WSG] Help with Float
Floats are tricky. Try this:
1) Drop your col2 div below the col3 in the HTML markup.
2) Use these values for the col# in the stylesheet:
#col1 {
width: 253px;
height: auto;
border-right: 2px dotted #5D355E;
float: left;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
clear: both;
}
#col2 {
width: 245px;
height: auto;
margin: 0 255px 0 255px;
padding: 0px;
}
#col3 {
width: 253px;
height: auto;
border-left: 2px dotted #5D355E;
float: right;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
}
#col1 p, #col2 p, #col3 p {
font: 12px/16px Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
margin: 0px;
padding: 5px 10px;
}
It should work in IE and Mozilla/Firefox. I tested it and it works fine.

RE: [WSG] help with ie vs the rest
You have class bodytext in your html, but it is not defined in your style sheet (unless I'm missing something, it is 2:15 in the morning). Also as stated before you should remove the periods from your class names in your html. From a usability stand point I would consider underlining all of your links with a:hover if you are going to do it on the side bar. It will help minimize confusion of your users. Aside from that I like the clean, simple style.

RE: [WSG] Help us redesign the WSG site
H... All very interesting. To do this we may have to change the functionality of the CMS a bit and maybe even hard code the pages that rarely change due to the needs of a site that displays code on the page by default (when pasted in). I don't think that many outside the core group have actually used it though so this shouldn't be an issue as any requests for changes to the content could still be sent to us. As Russ said it was built very quickly along these lines. So, we'll now discuss this and get back to you about how we'll proceed. Thanks for all your input again. P So if Russ is willing to completely change the rules, we are willing to put up with some lively discussions on most suitable page strucutre, I for one am looking forward to the opportunity. +1 To discuss the page structure would be very interesting since this is a concrete use case and the site is not too complex. * 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] Help us redesign the WSG site
I like this idea! It adds a creative flair to the purpose of the group and as an artist/programmer instead of a pure programmer it gives others like me a chance to show the world This is how I would've done it.

Re: [WSG] Help us redesign the WSG site
russ weakley spoke the following wise words on 21/03/2004 1:58AM EST: The WSG site was built very quickly when we first put the group together (just over a year ago). It is very much overdue for a redesign. In the spirit of group ownership, we thought it would be a good idea to open the process up to all members. Great! I only wish I had more time to encourage my creative side. So much of my time is spent doing technical stuff. Can't wait to see the entries, and who knows... maybe some celebrity appearances? -- tim www.toolmantim.com * 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] Help with a bit of code plz
Hi Ryan, Just as you specified the number of character rows (vertical), you also need to specify the number of character columns (horizontal.) Your mark-up would like something like: ...e=txtMessage rows=5 cols=50 title=Enter your message/textarea Regards, Ben info wrote: And can anyone plz plz plz explain what this means: Below are the results of attempting to parse this document with an SGML parser. 1.

RE: [WSG] Help with a bit of code plz
Cols is the number of column that you want in your text areas (similar to rows) and depending on your doctype - it may be required. So if you want 50 columns in your text areas you have to add cols=50. hth Cheers Mark -- Mark Stanton Technical Director Gruden Pty Ltd Tel: 9956 6388 Mob: 0410 458 201 Fax: 9956 8433 http://www.gruden.com * The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ *
