CSS - How To Decrease Css File Size?

So when using Netscape 7.2 & Opera 7.5 and MSIE 6.0,


How do you get a simple tag like

body {
font-size:small;
}

to be equal in all browsers?

Setting IE Text Size to Medium, and Opera's Zoom to 100% (both defaults) and Netscape 7.2 to 120% (not the default) is one way, but is there a CSS way?

By the way, the child element hack "body>div {property}" wasn't working no matter what I tried, by not working I mean to say Netscape never would read it or apply it.

It appeared to be that Opera & IE need to read the same value while Netscape needs to apply a larger size to be equal to IE's and Opera's rendering.

I could see this as potentially being really easy to do or really hard to do. I'm hoping for the former. Suppose I have 3 divs, A, B, C and that I want the total width of A + B + C to equal the width of the screen. Suppose also that I want them to be inline. How can I have B to be a fixed width while A and C expand depending on the screen width (such that the width of A = the width of C)?

Hello.

I was wondering how I would go about doing this.

I have a div, the left and right side of it is an image that I want the size to be able to be fluctuated, say, if the div goes larger than say 50 px, then it will start repeating and get larger. I have tried to start this already, but I havent had any luck. I also am not having any luck on getting the backgroun image to show. Anyone here know how I would make it to where my left or right side (border-right, border-left) will automatically resize if it is needed to go larger or get my background image to show? It's for a news conent box for my website I am coding, and I need it to go larger than just a set value. Thanks for your help.

P.S. this is what I have so far
Code:

<div style="width:460; height: auto; border-right: url("images/border_right.gif"); border-left: url("images/border_left.gif"); background-image: url("images/content_content.gif"); background-repeat: repeat;">
News content will go here
</div>

Hi,

Im trying to code a small portfolio page but im having trouble with the sizing of one of the sections.

Here is my page:
http://www.zombiemod.com/blog/?cat=1#all

Here is my code for the div:
Code:

#container div { margin-right:3px; float:left; width:296px; height:130px; border:1px solid #999; position:relative; overflow:hidden; }

How do I make the Div display this size correctly?

Whats the best way to fix font size?

I use CSS. The font size seems to stay fix on IE but not on Mozilla and Netscape.

Also I notice when I use adgui font it stay fix no matter in what browser and no matter at what text view. Why is that. Are there more of this kinda fonts?

Bottom line, whats the best way to fix the size of fonts regardless of browser and at what text view.

Thanks for you help

We have > 400 products in our children's boutique in Infant Girl as an example. Right now, you click 1-20, 21-41, etc. to view them by 20. I'd like to give people a way to view all, but here's my problem.

I use a horizontal looper asp program to show 3 colms and products and how ever many rows required to show 20. Behind this I use a white CSS box that looks like this.

<span class="detailsboxlist"></span>

There's nothing in it. I use layers to push it behind the products.

How can I now make it dynamically scale to the view all (400+ products) which change all of the time?

Thanks!!!

I have just begun to design a website and already I have run into bizarre (to me) behavior.

In the horizontal navigation bar, when you run your mouse over it, you can see that the inline element is bigger than the block element container because the background color changes, revealing a small 2px or so size difference.

Here is the relevant CSS.

Code:

* { padding: 0px; margin: 0px; }

#navbar {
	list-style-type: none;
	margin-left: 0px;
	background-color: #336633;
	padding: 0em;
	height: 2em;
	margin: 0px;
	font-size: 10pt;
}

#navbar li {
	display: inline;
	float: left;
	padding: 0.5em;
}

#navbar li a {
	color: white;
	text-decoration: none;
	text-transform: uppercase;
	padding-left: 10px;
	padding-right: 10px;
	padding-top: 0.5em;
	padding-bottom: 0.5em;
	vertical-align: baseline;
	line-height: 100%;
}

#navbar li a:hover {
	background-color: #669966;

I have no idea why this happens, unless the inline element content height is actually determined by factors other than the line-height. It seems like the total height should sum to 2em in both cases.

Is it possible to define the size of a DIV, by distance to the edges?

I am new to adsense. I was wondering if I should specify the size of each ad in css (via the div I have around each ad). Or is this unnecessary? (I am not asking if I can change the designated size of the ads in css, but just if I should put in the width and height of the standard ad sizes I have chosen). Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

hi, someone using foxfire keeps saying the my font is really really tiny, I have my css file like: Code:

body { background: #FFFFFF;
/* for internet explorer */
scrollbar-face-color: #FFFFFF; scrollbar-highlight-color: #FFFFFF; scrollbar-shadow-color: #FFFFFF; scrollbar-3dlight-color: #494969; scrollbar-arrow-color: #494969; scrollbar-track-color: #FFFFFF; scrollbar-darkshadow-color: #494969; 
margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; border-top: 1px solid #8E9397; border-left: 1px solid #8E9397; font-color: #494969; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica; font-size: 8pt; text-align: left; }

a:link,a:active,a:visited { color: #494969; text-decoration: none }
a:hover { text-decoration: underline; color: #494969; position: relative; top: -1px; left: -1px; }
hr { background: transparent; color: #494969; height: 1px; border-width: 0px; }
fieldset { margin: 0; padding: 1px; border: 1px solid #494969; }
legend { margin: 0; padding: 7px; color: #494969; background: transparent; font-weight: bold; }
img { border: 0px; }
table { background: transparent; }
tr { background: transparent; }
td { background: transparent; color: #494969; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica; font-size: 70%; }
input, textarea, select { color: #494969; font: normal 11px Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; background: transparent; border: 1px solid #494969; border-style: inset; text-align: center; text-indent: 2px; }

form { margin: 0px; padding: 0px; }

any idea on whats wrong? and I would of changed the % to an actual value but I wanted to make it so people can control the size of the font to lager or smaller


here is a preview with that css file in use : http://www.dbznetwork.net/

Well, the title might be a little oversimplified, but I guess it caught your attention

In the past, I always set my font sizes using px. I know that this is not the appropriate standard (since it doesn't allow a user to re-size the font on their end), but I usually did it because it was easiest and most predictable.

Now, I finally want to make the step towards more accessibility and I would like to learn a little bit more about using em's appropriately.

Does anyone have any good advise on how to get started with the following questions: How/where do I set the initial font-size, from which I can use em's? What are the dangers of using em's instead of px? Where could this change impact my usual styling? Are there any good resources/tutorials about this?
Any help/suggestions/ideas are appreciated...

New to CSS, but I'm looking for the following:

I would like to create this matrix, with say 3/3 fields. Each of these fields will have an image of a particular size. The size for all 9 fields are identical. So something like:

*******************************
* * * *
* Image 1 * Image 2 * Image 3 *
* * * *
*******************************
* * * *
* Image 4 * Image 5 * Image 6 *
* * * *
*******************************
* * * *
* Image 7 * Image 8 * Image 9 *
* * * *
*******************************

I defined the matrix using div with the code:

.matrixX10 {
margin-top: 10%;
position: absolute;
}

.matrixX20 {
margin-top: 20%;
position: absolute;
}

.matrixX30 {
margin-top: 30%;
position: absolute;
}
.matrixY10 {
margin-left: 10%;
position: absolute;
}

.matrixY20 {
margin-left: 20%;
position: absolute;
}

.matrixY30 {
margin-left: 30%;
position: absolute;
}

I defined each field as in eg:
<div class="matrixX10 matrixY10">image 1</div>

That actually works, but I would like to define the size of these images. Defining the size of the div does do anything (do I overlook something) and I do not like to, well define all images individually. Do I need to add another class, or am I writing a really messy code?

People viewing my site at 120 dpi are seeing misaligned text and layout, whereas people viewing the site at 96dpi can see it properly.
I'm using "em" instead of pixels when setting font sizes in CSS.
The site has fixed length and width, do I HAVE to allow it to resize itself?

I'm not a programmer by nature, but am picking things up as I go along. I'm working on some forms to make my job easier. Hopefully what I will provide below is enough info to provide a solution. If not, let me know what else you might need.

I understand that this section of CSS manipulates the size and other attributes of the textarea input box:


fieldset div input,fieldset div textarea {
width:150px;
border-top:1px solid #555;
border-left:1px solid #555;
border-bottom:1px solid #ccc;
border-right:1px solid #ccc;
padding:1px;color:#333;
}

What I am looking for is what do I need to add to my CSS and consequent HTML markup to have other textarea input boxes with different attributes? What I really need is to have 4 small boxes within the same div on the same row.

Thanks in advance!!

This should be fairly simple, but I can't figure it out right now. I have a list of nav buttons that I have floated so they are inline. When I hover over them, a 4px border appears at the bottom. The problem is, it pushes my content container down on hover. I've tried margins and padding in different places, but can't seem to prevent it from happening. How do you prevent this?

Code:

#navcontainer
{
	display:inline;
}
#navlist
{
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
padding-bottom:20px;
border-bottom: 1px solid #FDC737;
float:right;
}

#navlist ul, #navlist li
{
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
display: inline;
list-style-type: none;
}
#navlist li
{
	line-height: 14px;
}
#navlist a:link, #navlist a:visited
{
float: left;
font-weight: bold;
margin: 0 10px 4px 10px;
text-decoration: none;
color: #fff;
}

#navlist a:link#current, #navlist a:visited#current, #navlist a:hover
{
border-bottom: 4px solid #FDC737;
padding-bottom: 2px;
background: transparent;
color: #FDC737;
}

#navlist a:hover { color: #fdc737; }

Code:
