c1sissy Posts: 5084 Joined: 7/20/2002 From: NJ Status: offline	RE: Mac, IE Safari help please - 9/9/2006 18:37:56 I have been using it and have not noticed that but will take a look again at it. Plus I use screen capers for measuring when I go along with things on here to make sure things measure correctly. Something changed and I am not sure what it is. It validates on both css and on xhtml strict. I have a few warnings, but they dont' interfer with what is going on right now. When I get this fixed I'll fix the color warnings. <edit> On my pc I am not getting any over measure with the outline in firefox. so that is ok</edit> <edit2> On my pc I am not getting any over measure with the outline on IE either.</edit> _____________________________ Deb-aka-c4Ksissy high panjandurum and alpha female of the silverback tribe As decreed by Jesper 5-24-2003.

I see you have the font-size: 100.01% in your css though. I'm not sure Deb. Nicole Thumbnail Image Attachment (1) _____________________________ (in reply to c1sissy)

Tailslide Posts: 6003 Joined: 5/10/2005 From: Out here on the raggedy edge Status: offline	RE: Mac, IE Safari help please - 9/10/2006 3:55:06 Definitely got an overlap between the main content and the sidebar in FF on the PC which may well be causing your problem. It's an issue in Safari and Opera Mac and Opera 9 on PC too. Camino Mac looks fine. I don't have IE 5.2 Mac (don't deliberately try to support it these days) I wouldn't worry too much about IE Mac - it has some odd float issues which may or may not cause you problems. Possibly sorting out the overlap will solve the issue there too. Also - in Opera Mac the serif font that you get for the navigation is really hard to read - not sure what it is though.

So to him they need to be worked out. Others are of your opinon in regards sigh. Worked at it for a bit. Not sure what to do. I explained about the font when he picked out what he did for the fonts. That is why there is such a large choice of them, trying to hit ones that will work _____________________________ Deb-aka-c4Ksissy high panjandurum and alpha female of the silverback tribe As decreed by Jesper 5-24-2003.

Had a bit of a difficulty getting it to smooth out for me, thanks for the ones you have here I"ll definatly take a look at them all.

All I can suggest is to sort out the overlap by reducing the size of the main content area and then see how you go. If there are still problems with IE mac then they should be slightly easier to sort out. _____________________________ "My strategy is so simple an idiot could have devised it" Little Blue Plane Web Design \| Blood, Sweat & Rust - A Land Rover restoration project (in reply to c1sissy)

All I can suggest is to sort out the overlap by reducing the size of the main content area and then see how you go. If there are still problems with IE mac then they should be slightly easier to sort out. If you add the totals, there is no overhang as you can see by what I posted with an increase in font, plus I use screen capers to measure. Already decreased and it did not do anything except for move the border away from where it is right now. So its back to the size it should be, and the additions add up to what it should be. I have outlined it in IE's developer tool bar, even outlined the floats, and all were and still are within their boundries on my pc. It Works on IE6 and on FF on windows, all validates, what needs to work is Safari for mac, and IE 5 for mac. _____________________________ Deb-aka-c4Ksissy high panjandurum and alpha female of the silverback tribe As decreed by Jesper 5-24-2003.

Tailslide Posts: 6003 Joined: 5/10/2005 From: Out here on the raggedy edge Status: offline	RE: Mac, IE Safari help please - 9/10/2006 9:21:29 You've got some of the sublists (ul ul ) growing wider than they should be which might be enough to cause the drop. Stick a width of around 150px (to allow for the added left hand indent you've got and still fit into the 158px sidebar width) onto the ul uls and that solves it for me locally on Safari Mac and Opera PC. I don't have IE5.2 Mac on my iBook so I can't check for it. But with luck that might solve the issue there too. Edit: And also - remove the clearfix on the div called "rightcolumnartist" < Message edited by Tailslide -- 9/10/2006 9:43:27 > _____________________________ "My strategy is so simple an idiot could have devised it" Little Blue Plane Web Design \| Blood, Sweat & Rust - A Land Rover restoration project (in reply to c1sissy)


c1sissy Posts: 5084 Joined: 7/20/2002 From: NJ Status: offline	RE: Mac, IE Safari help please - 9/10/2006 9:46:28 ul ul should not even be there right now? I removed it last night? Unless it did not refresh up to the server? IEEEEEeeee (and that doesn't stand for IE either!) What I am doing right now is trouble shooting it. Going through and removing code styles and replacing to find out what is going on. One suggestion from cssd list was to remove height on the header, which is why the font sizing wasn't increasing correctly. Since the header had a background image in it, I had placed a height on it, might even have something to do with the footer as well? Hmm. thought process there. I'll repost as I go along, and thanks, btw what you might be seeing as an over flow when you outline is that the border is a repeating image for the side effect being the same as the header and footer edging. _____________________________ Deb-aka-c4Ksissy high panjandurum and alpha female of the silverback tribe As decreed by Jesper 5-24-2003.
