  • Bug in IE6 for sprite menu

    Well, you're using "background();" instead of background-image(); for your nav items. You could try changing that out. You also don't need "transparent" when the background color of the images is the same as the page ba…

  • Another attempt at a CSS site

    I would continue the menu all the way to the bottom on the left side. I don't mean that all the buttons have to go down that far, but put the menu minutes into a div that has the same styles as the menu or something along those lines. Also, t…

    Hey Pab, I actually work with Wordpress, not movable type. The top of this thread is old. I decided that MT wasn't very user friendly.... and moved over to wordpress instead. My current site is running on WP. Movable type seemed pretty powerf…

  • Nav and content behaves wierd in IE

    I would download the firebug addon for FF and look at each of your elements in detail. It will show you exactly how everything is positioned as well as showing you which elements are cascaded throughout the body of the document (so you don't re…

  • The Daily Spunkmeyer

    Hey guys, just a quick update. I've been working on my site for the past while, trying to iron out kinks etc. Anyways, I've actually added fake content to show what it's actually going to look like. It's not done, not even close,…

  • Designer Etiquette...link back to your site?

    Well, even if you can't plug yourself on the site, you can always do so in the code. You never know who's taking a gander behind the scenes.

  • How do you create a "new" page for a site?

    Besides the site that I'm currently working on (http://www.thedailyspunkmeyer.com) which uses the wordpress engine, my site always comprises of an index.php. The content of which usually looks like:

  • Do you? Should I?

    Like I said in the thread that Chris is linking, the only issue with large css files is speed. It all depends on who your target audience is. If they're running broadband, you could have 100 css files and it probably wouldn't matter. HTTP …

  • minimized layout - how to keep it all together?

    I assume you're referring to what's called a fluid layout, where the site grows/shrinks to fill the user's screen? This is done by using relative widths (specifically percentages). If you assign percentages to any element, the browser…

  • Div placement and animated NAV - CSS help!

    Considering you have a width assigned to #nav, I would add #nav{margin: 0 auto;} to center the item instead of doing the math. Add a relative position to it, and use top:whatever number; to move it down the page to whatever height you want. So, som…

  • space b/w header & nav images Videopods 12-13

    I agree with Cotton - it looks like a spacing issue. Take your UL#nav (according to your css) for instance. It doesn't have any parameters attached to it. ul#nav is the wrapper around the entire list. So that should be the element that you need…

  • devloping on wamp ...wordpress

    Since you've built an IE6 specific style sheet, I assume you have a default one? In which case, can you link to it without issues? If you can, there's probably something wrong with your syntax. Post the code that you're using to link …

  • Dynamic CSS Switching using Javascript...

    I've noticed that you've posted the same question in numerous other forums and you kinda got the same answer as you did here.. which is, well not really an answer. I would suggest getting a host that supports PHP.

    Hmm. I'm not sure of a css way, but I made an image map a LONG LONG time ago that is similar to what you're trying to do. Maybe Try: http://www.alistapart.com/articles/imagemap

  • 1st ever complete web page, go nuts, tear it to shreds!

    I agree with Cybershot about the color of the text (size seems ok to me on a 1650x1050 window). One of the hardest things (aside from those incredibly annoying cross-browser coding issues) to get a grip of is understanding what your user needs in te…

  • how many CSS files?

    The only issue with having TONS of information inside a CSS file is a speed issue for people with 56k modems and all that. Personally, I'm really not concerned if my CSS file is bigger than 8kb (suggested size to give 56k connections a good exp…

  • CHRIS can you explain

    As far as I know (at least I did this on my site), the actual tag can have a class assigned to it like everything else. For example, it could have a #{position:absolute; left20px; width:200px;} or something on the tag without having "display:b…

    It looks like an issue with IE6 - IE7 and FF/Opera look the same to me. Could you forward me an url to take a look at? It's hard to tell from the image.

  • CSS font problem -.-

    You have two specified fonts in your code. Verdana and Times New Roman. The quotes you have put around Verdana don't actually have to be there. Alternatively, you would use something like " # { font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-s…

  • i can't get images to work [Solved]

    I agree with box. When you go to view the image in FF you get a 404 error indicating it can't be found. You most likely FTP'd the image with a different name. Either that, or take out the opening forward slash in your relative url. ie the …

  • phpbb3 Problems

    I assume the whole thing is inside a wrapper of some kind. In any case, just add "margin: 0 auto;" to the wrapper and that should center all of it. Make sure it's in a wrapper, otherwise you'll have to add that to every piece of …

    Just out of curiosity, for the menu bar, have you tried having all the hovers actually change color throughout the entire menu bar instead of merging half way down?

    That shouldn't be too hard. Just comment out div.headerbar, cut the fieldset that's surrounding the search field box, pop your div header in and paste the search wherever you want it. Does that not work? What exactly happens when it "…
