While I was working on the foxowl site these last few weeks, I had many
suggestions from people on this list as to what I should be adding to my
stylesheet in order to make the site look nice in a larger # of browsers.
Needless to say, most of these suggestions worked wonderfully.
For instance, I found it interesting to learn that IE 5.x doesn't "do"
small caps and that to make sure everything shows up nicely, you should use
--f\ont-variant : small-caps; (instead of just font-variant) to keep
IE5.x-win from wrapping the links.
However, even though I placed them into my stylesheet, I still don't
necessarily *understand* all of them.
Some of them make sense. . . especially if I look up what bug they're
supposed to take care of . . . .
but how do I know *when* to use them?
--Are there certain bug-hacks that you use in EVERY SINGLE stylesheet you
make? (such as BODY{ font-size:100% })?
--Do some of you make "wrappers" for every single site you create?
Here are some of the lines I was told to use in my foxowl stylesheet. . .
they all made the site work perfectly, but I'm still kind of scratching my
head about how I should know when to use them . All the time?
------------------
/* for IE5.x win's broken box model \*/
* html .body-container {width: 777px; w\idth: 775px;}
/* */
/* for IE5.x win's 3px bug \*/
* html #logo, * html #nav-holder {margin-left: -3px; ma\rgin-left: 0;}
/* */
/* this is for IE-win browsers only to defeat the margin-doubling bug \*/
* html #leftcontent {margin-left: 6px;}
/* */
------------------
stylesheet: www.foxowl.com/include/foxowl.css
url: www.foxowl.com/index2.html
Thanks for all the help everyone, and if anyone has some pointers regarding
the above rules/when you should use certain hacks/if there are certain
hacks you use in EVERY stylesheet . . .that'd be great!
Enjoy the remainder of your weekend. . .
