Thankyou WSG members for past help that you unknowingly gave me... my
volunteer site is now up for testing at http://ozcranes.net/ Can someone
help? (it seems like a rather long list...)
1. In modern browsers (except Opera) the header h4 migrates down into lower
divs, at large text sizes. Every combo I've tried, for top & bottom padding
or margins of the header or its elements, or previous or following divs,
causes some other issue - eg the h4 ends up where I don't want it, at normal
text size. Or, IE6 develops large gaps (blue background only) between div
navmax and div header.
2. I rarely get a chance to test in IE5. Had 3 issues in 5.5 - (a) data
tables centred on page, seems OK now? eg
http://ozcranes.net/info/resources_3.html
(b) div bread (simulated breadcrumb trail, all pages except home page) a
shocker. Tried various versions of Fat Erik's breadcrumbs from Listamatic,
all that can be said for my current version (craneweb.css, hacks are all at
the end) is that it doesn't disrupt modern browsers. Can this be fixed for
IE5 (any version)?
(c) assumed I had box model problems, symptoms in 5.5 were: div sidebar on
right: content was way right, with too much blank blue space between it, and
div main's right dotted border. Also, the rightmost of 3 side by side
floated contents lists (div sections) in
http://ozcranes.net/research/icn.authors.html was dropping below the first
two. Have the hacks at the end of craneweb.css fixed this, or should I try
something else?
3. Two recent issues: wrote my Help page months ago - decided that everyone
I showed, loved larger text (irrespective of age group) so went with an
explanation. Also - can't find the thread in the WSG archive to respond to,
I think it was mid August, and the issue recently reappeared on Eric Meyer -
I have top of page links #top scattered throughout the site, somewhat
alarmed by 'tag' story. Can't trigger the behaviour myself, though.
Thanks in advance for any advice
