CSS - Fonts As A Percent...
I've been looking at some CSS templates over at the Yahoo Developer Network. Link: http://developer.yahoo.com/ypattern...hp?pattern=grid
They define font sizes as percentages (13 pt. is about 100%), and I had never seen this. See he http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/fonts/index.html Is this common? Uncommon? Is there a reason I haven't seen it before, or am I blind? Also, in general, have anyone here used these templates as a basis for anything? Similar TutorialsHi, My client very much likes a website that belongs to their competition. The thing she likes the most is the fact that the content is centered horizontally and vertically in the browser window. The way they (her competition) have constructed the site is to to place all the content inside a table 100% wide and 100% high with the content centered horizontally and vertically using the table's valign and align attributes. However, this isn't very "standards", is it . . . so, does anyone know of a way this same effect (content centered horizontally and vertically in browser window) can be acheived using CSS? Thanks! Hi, I'm having a problem a liquid layout using 100 percent width. The inner box peeks out side to the right of the containing box (which is 100% width). I am viewing with firefox. At a resolution of 1024 width. With IE 6 it's very nasty looking (extremely wide). Can anyone tell me what I need to do or what I'm doing wrong please I have simplified the page to highlight the problem I'm having a problem on this page http://www.jamesfarrell.eu/fixhtml/search.htm HTML as follows: Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en"> <head> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"> <link href="fixlayout.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/> </head> <body> <div id='wrap'> <div id="content"> <div class="searchresult1"> <h3><a href='info.php?id=486'>rent in france</a> (222.00) per week)</h3><a href=info.php?id=486><img src='images/no_image.gif' width='130' height='127' border=0 /></a><p>1 Bedrooms, 0 Bathrooms, House</p><p>s..</p> <a href='info.php?id=486'>More details</a> </div> </div> </div> <!-- <div id="goToTop" class="sNav"><p><a href="#content">^ Top</a></p></div> --> </body> </html> CSS as follows: Code: body {

Hi, Hopefully someone can help with this little problem. I've got a JavaScript menu ... // JavaScript start. document.write("<table cellpadding='0' cellspacing='0' border='1' bordercolor='#999999' bgcolor='f5f5f5' width='100%'>"); document.write("<TR><TD class='MenuBackground'>"); if (MenuOption == "Body Lotion") { document.write("<a class='MenuOn' href='http://www.natureshedgerow.com/bodylotion.html'>****Body Lotion</a>"); } else { document.write("<a class='MenuOff' href='http://www.natureshedgerow.com/bodylotion.html'>****Body Lotion</a>"); } document.write("</TD></TR><TR><TD class='MenuBackground'>"); if (MenuOption == "Shower Gel") { document.write("<a class='MenuOn' href='http://www.natureshedgerow.com/showergel.html'>****Shower Gel</a>"); } else { document.write("<a class='MenuOff' href='http://www.natureshedgerow.com/showergel.html'>****Shower Gel</a>"); } document.write("</TD></TR><TR><TD class='MenuBackground'>"); if (MenuOption == "Soaps") { document.write("<a class='MenuOn' href='http://www.natureshedgerow.com/soaps.cgi'>****Soaps</a>"); } else { document.write("<a class='MenuOff' href='http://www.natureshedgerow.com/soaps.cgi'>****Soaps</a>"); } // Menu Bottom. document.write("</TD></TR></table></td></tr></table>"); // JavaScript end. ...and associated CSS file... // css start. .MenuBackground { WIDTH: 110px; BACKGROUND: #f5f5f5; margin: 0; padding: 0; } a.MenuOn:link { FONT-SIZE: 11px; color: #ffffff; FONT-WEIGHT: bold; FONT-STYLE: italic; text-decoration: none; FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #b4b4b4; WIDTH: 100%; HEIGHT: 100% } a.MenuOn:visited { FONT-SIZE: 11px; color: #ffffff; FONT-WEIGHT: bold; FONT-STYLE: italic; text-decoration: none; FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #b4b4b4; WIDTH: 100%; HEIGHT: 100% } a.MenuOn:active { FONT-SIZE: 11px; color: #ffffff; FONT-WEIGHT: bold; FONT-STYLE: italic; text-decoration: none; FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #b4b4b4; WIDTH: 100%; HEIGHT: 100% } a.MenuOn:hover { FONT-SIZE: 11px; color: #ffffff; FONT-WEIGHT: bold; text-decoration: none; FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #c9c9c9; WIDTH: 100%; HEIGHT: 100% } a.MenuOff:link { FONT-SIZE: 11px; color: #33ccff; FONT-WEIGHT: bold; text-decoration: none; FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #f5f5f5; WIDTH: 100%; } a.MenuOff:visited { FONT-SIZE: 11px; color: #33ccff; FONT-WEIGHT: bold; text-decoration: none; FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #f5f5f5; WIDTH: 100%; } a.MenuOff:active { FONT-SIZE: 11px; color: #33ccff; FONT-WEIGHT: bold; text-decoration: none; FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #f5f5f5; WIDTH: 100%; } // css end. What I expect to happen is that when I scroll over the menu options the whole line should become highlighted. This works fine in IE, but for some reason it doesn't in Firefox. Firefox only highlights the text (as shown in the JavaScript code). Can anyone point out where I'm going wrong? url = http://www.natureshedgerow.com Thank you in advance PS. I've already fixed a few other problems I've found between IE and Firefox (hopefully this isn't a sign of poor worksmanship on my behalf ) I'm trying to create a header bar with some navigational links. The basic idea is that I have a little banner image about 400 pixels wide on the left. To the right of it, I have 5 navigational links listed horizontally. I want them to be evenly spaced across the rest of the page, regardless of its width. I could do this with percentages if I had them in a parent element equal to the width of the page minus the width of the image to the left. So basically, I know this isn't actual CSS syntax, but I'm looking for the functional equivalent of saying: #linkContainer{width:100%-400px;} Anybody know a good way to do something like this? This would be easy with a table, but I'm trying to stick to CSS for layout and tables only for tabular data. Hi all, I'm trying to use my own hosted font for my website, namely Futura Light. I had been using the Google Font API, so to host my font I change the URL in the CSS from the google hosted font to a local address where my font is. This worked really well on Firefox, safari and Chrome, but IE8 is still showing my generic fonts. Why would IE8 not show my hosted font, while other browsers do? Help is very much appreciated! Ray hello, what's the best way to create a border around txt (i mean the letters themselves not around a block of txt)? i've seen some people do this with glow but in most cases it looks awful and even worse, it doesn't seem to work in other browsers other than IE. is there some trick that i can use to achieve this effect? thanks for any help! can I load a special font to my server and then call to it through css? If I want to use the font Made_In_China.tff can I actualy load it to my server and then call to it through css? Nick I'm pretty certain you can do this - but for the life of me I can't remember where I read this. Code:
<style>
@import font("fonturl")
</style>
or Code:
<style>
@font url("fonturl")
</style>
I'm still searching online. Anyone else have any ideas? thanks Each browser keeps displaying my website with a different font. It makes no difference to the layout of the page, but I'd like it to be the same font in all of them just for the sake of consistancy. Are there any fonts out there that work for all of them? Can I upload a font type to my server to send to browsers? I want a kind of 'courrier new' , 'arial' or 'tahoma' font really. Any help is greatly appreciated Ive seen some sites using fonts i dont have on my computer how is this done and whats it called ? any help would be great. style { #test{ margin-left: 5px; margin-top: 9px; font-family: arial; color: black; font-size: 9px; } } <!-- html --> <div id="test"> <span> X Y Z </span> </div> Here is my problem. I am trying to make "Y" bold. but it appears in regular font. I tried following code which doesn't work for me. <span> X <span style="font-weight: bold;">Y</span> Z</span> Thanks Is it possiable for me to add an external font family on a certain text? I mean.. Is it possible for me to use ttf fonts on css to modify my html page? P.S: I hope It makes sense.. because I'm tired I was wondering how I can set a font that others may not have on there computer. I know I can set a font folder for my site but how do I link to that so that if the viewer doesn't have the font so it will still display correctly for them too? What type of font extension should I put in there? Should it be just the .ttf? Are there any special css rules that I must include? Thanks for the help! if i upload a load of different fonts to my web server, i presume i need to link them to CSS, before i can use them. how do i do this? if not, what do i need to do instead? I am having some difficulty getting text to render how I want it. The page in question can be viewed he http://www.cbo4edu.org/who.html The column of text on the left is bolded for some reason and I want it match the text on the right (unbolded). I have setup an External style sheet and the only code I've applied to type is: PHP Code: .footer { font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 8pt; } body,td,th { color: #000000; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; } body { background-color: #000000; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; The HTML code: PHP Code: <th colspan="4" rowspan="24" align="left" valign="top"><p>College Bound Opportunities (CBO) is a not-for-profit organization centered in the five communities within Deerfield and Highland Park High School District 113.

Am i doing it completely wrong? i need a *simple* solution if thats possible, and without too much jargon much appreciated.. adi Hey gang, I'm trying to make a website for Dad and I'm a little rough with my CSS, and I'm having troubles getting my fonts to show up correctly.

Hey guys, would you please tell me why I get an error on my web page? Here is the error. Thanks I am wondering how the W3C Markup Validation Service page makes all the text on the page smoothed. I have never seen another web page do this before. This works in Internet Explorer 6, Firefox, and Opera. I'm using Windows XP Professional with the System Properties > Advanced > Performance Options > Visual Effects option of 'Smooth edges of screen fonts' turned on. Disabling this option results in the fonts not being smoothed on the page at all. Usually fonts of 14pt and higher are smoothed out for me, but not when they're lower than this (unless they're bolded)! So how does this page manage to smooth out all the fonts, no matter what the size? I had a look at the page's stylesheets, but couldn't see anything unusual that might be causing this. Does anybody know? I have built a site using css for font styles. On my mac the fonts show up fine but when I view the site on Windows XP using Internet Explorer the fonts look kinda blurry/washed out. I'm using Arial, at 12px or 13px bold, as set in my CSS file. Is this a common problem, a way to fix the problem, or just my own problem? thanks for the help. |
