Thanks Georg, Perhaps you are right and I should ignore it. However, it is unsightly, as you can see if you look at the jpg screen grab I've put at: http://www.treyarnon.fsworld.co.uk/wg/FFbug.jpg It happens even if you put the same image in four times, and only affects the second and fourth

[WSG] Fake Horizontal Frames Layout

2005-04-30 Thread Peter J. Farrell
Hi Everyone, I'm newer to CSS then I'd like to admit, but I was wondering if it is possible to create a layout that consists of three content areas (Think about a 3-column layout turned 90 degrees). Top Section: - fixed height ~36px Middle Section: - variable height - overflowed to allow

OFF LIST - [WSG] Firefox bug?

Hi Again Georg, Interesting. If I do away with the main grey background, and check the 'smooth scrolling' the problem gets worse! See: http://www.treyarnon.fsworld.co.uk/wg/FFbug2.jpg Also, same code, but using a table instead of a nest of divs is fine - no problem:

[WSG] To table or not to table, the form question

[WSG] To Table or Not To Table for Forms

2005-04-30 Thread Cole Kuryakin - x7m
I've been wondering the same thing as Tee - whether to use the table for form or not, still can't make up my mind. I've been using tables for my forms just because it's fast and easy to align stuff - like a horizontal double or triple-column input design or even putting a text label AFTERa

[WSG] Semantic tag for copyright slug?

There is nothing about a form tag that makes it tabular. Many form's just dont fit into neat columns and rows. These days I code elements firstly so they are semantically correct. Then I use CSS to attempt to lay them out as best as I can (with what I know and what I can teach myself from all the

Hi Cole Label is a form field tag... it can't be used outside of a form. (well it can but you'll have invalid html according to the w3c) http://htmlhelp.com/reference/html40/forms/label.html The issue here is how far you go with your semantics. Do we have a tag for trademark, registered mark,
