Webmaster Forum / HTML, CSS, Scripts / CSS / August 2004

I hope this is the correct newsgroup for this subject.
The other day I came across a site www.safesquid.com that specified
font-family:Terminal font-size:9pt in the inline css for command-line
displays in the page content. On my Windows 2000 PC, Terminal is a

My question is:
If you create a template in Photoshop, slice it in ImageReady, using
the CSS output option(under the "slices" menu in "output--options"),
and then use the CSS output for a template(which will all be

I have a question, hope somebody will help me out!
You can try here with this site, View, Lettersize bigger and it'll be changed.
But some of the sites that I've visited, whatever you do, it won't change!
How can they manage to do that?

I'm having trouble with my CSS.  My links are black, my hover is orange,
and my active link is red.  When I select a link it turns red but it
does not retain that color when the selected page loads.  Is it
possible to retain that color?

I want to style a layout without the use of tables.
Instead of tables, I would like to use styled div-tags.
The Layout is (or better: should be) as follows:
+--------------------------------+

Ok, so I've used the suggestion I got earlier.
   <div class="menu level0 haschildren active">Front page</div>
   .menu.level0.haschildren.active { ... }
This doesn't work in IE, of course - so how would you solve the above in IE?

What would you say about a smart script that would transform really
'cascading' style sheet into appropriate CSS structures.
When coding css by hand, most often you are forced to write the
statements separately in lines, e.g.

   Attached is a copy of my draft css for my webpage. My website is down so
I am unable to provide you with a url to take a look at it. If anyone has
some time I would like if they could make some comments on it and how it
looks in other web browser especially the font size using ...

Hello, I have a question about text positioning in a table field.
In particular, I want to create a template which works with images
of unknown size.
There is a <table> field, in which I need to put:

I made the following page using CSS (a lot of new CSS that I'd never
used before):

It shows up fine in IE, but in Mozilla the height of the "main" div

I have a script that generates a hierarchical menu, but I am having problems
assigning styles to each manu items different possible states. The possible
states a menu item can be in is (and all of these can be combined unless they
are mutually exclusive):

I'm redesigning this page for more up-to-date browser standards:
<http://home.hiwaay.net/~lkseitz/hhs/winners.shtml>.  Note the use of
an "invisible" table to position the "visible" ones.  I'm attempting
to get a similar layout using CSS.  So far the best I've come up with

I've looked at manuals and experimented until my brain's oozing out of
my ears, and I still can't figure out what I anticipate will prove to
be fairly basic css layout knowledge.
I'd be amazed if this was the first (or even if only the 100th) time

I'm wondering what the group thinks is the best way to display the
<label> element. The default rendering in Moz and MSIE/Win (probably
others, too) only changes the mouse cursor (that's a strange term) from
text-select to default (an arrow). That, to me, is too subtle, and is a

I'm not sure if I should be using tables here to structure the layout or
if CSS is okay. I have a data entry form in which I have floated the
labels to one side, and given them a specific width. With regular input
such as textboxes, everything lines up fine. The problem I'm ...
