How to you fix it? CSS Edition

Mon, 19 Mar 2007 01:30:12 GMT

OK, I like CSS just like everyone else but I'm having a bit of an issue here. Check out the page and let me know what you think. The bottom portion of the web site looks ok in FF, but is off in IE. Once you see it in IE you should see the problem.

Below is the code... any ideas? It looks like to me that the problem is with the border of the wrapper, 1px on each side seems to push the divs in by 1px on each side.

Let me know what you think! Thanks!

IDs vs Classes

Thu, 09 Nov 2006 19:30:04 GMT

I got asked a simple question today that I honestly didn't know the answer too.

Bob: When using a particular style, are there any advantages over using CLASS vs. ID?

Me: I'm not sure what the differences between class and ID are to be honest, I always use class.

Not knowing the answer to a simple question like that often bothers me so I need to find the answer. A quick Google search lead me to tizag.com and this tutorial.

The whole tutorial gets summed up pretty well in the last line:

Use IDs when there is only one occurence per page. Use classes when there are one or more occurences per page.

How do you all use IDs vs Classes?

Vertical or Horizontal Only Scroll Bars

Mon, 23 Oct 2006 17:12:04 GMT

Hey Everyone,
Had a client that needed tabular data to scroll to the right without messing up the layout of the screen. This is what I found

.hortScroll{overflow-x:auto; overflow-y:none; width:400px; height:400px;} .vertScroll{overflow-x:none; overflow-y:auto; width:400px; height:400px;}

Display only horizonal scroll bar
<div class="hortScroll">...</div>

Display only vertical scroll bar
<div class="vertScroll">...</div>

Note: overflow-y and overflow-x are not compatiable with FireFox as I understand it. This isn't a big issue for me as my company has IE6 as it's current standard. But I suppose it will break in a few months when we adapt to IE7. Thoughts or opinons?

Good Day!

Challenge Accepted!

Thu, 28 Sep 2006 14:09:05 GMT

I’ve been called a lot of mean things in my life some to my face and surely more behind my back. However the other day I got called a name by a guy I don’t even know! This guy, Todd, if that is his real name, called me a lurker!!! A lurker??!! How can you call me a lurker if you don’t even know me Todd??

Well Todd didn’t just call me a lurker he called A LOT of ColdFusion developers lurkers or takers. We can define lurkers or takers in this case as developers that take code from blogs or other community sites but don’t give back to the community. For whatever reason, either they are too busy or too lazy they just don’t give back. Therefor Todd proposed a challenge. The challenge was for us all to get more involved in the ColdFusion Community, write a blog, join a CFUG or mailing list. Do something to give back.

Well Todd, challenge accepted! I’m going to try my best to make time to give back. What I say here on my InstantSpot may seem silly to those more experienced than I, so for that I apologize and welcome all feedback.

If you are new to the ColdFusion or Blog thing, here are some of the hot spots I visit often,.
