Author I need some fresh eyes

I'm trying to get my "text resizer" to work in FF/IE/Opera but for some
reason I don't see the AP div (#textbox) on the page in IE6.

If you go to this page
http://www.mouseriders.dk/til_michael/index_white.php (I'm not done with
the stylesheet for this page yet) and in the selectbox please choose
"Hvid/blå kontrast" and click the submit (skift). You should now see a
white page with the "A a" in the blue header (screenshot here
http://www.mouseriders.dk/til_michael/imagesBG/ss_1.gif) ...at least in
FF/Opera. I just can't figure out why it won't show up in IE.

Any ideas?

Remove display: block; and it will appear, like magic.

#textbox{
position:absolute;
display: block;
left:30px;
top:72px;
height:20px;
width:50px;
background:url(imagesBG/textbox_white.gif);
z-index:1;}


As a sidenote. Do you find it easier to write and undersatnd all your
css attributes in one line?

Dam I find that alien to troubleshoot. PV11 do this sometimes but I
think thats just to make it harder for any newbie that wants to 'take'
their code.

Hi Osgood,

Not on my screen... but I got this advice on another list that if I made
it relative it do appear. That also moved the top nav too but that was a
minor change to get that into place.

I actually prefer this over the multi line way. For me it's much easier
and I don't forget closing bracket etc. What I find very irritating
using this method is if I forget and use DW CSS inspector then the rules
I play with is on several lines afterwards. I never figured out how to
stop this... if it's possible at all.

I noticed that too... so I guess it's not bad practice ;)

OK... but why did you copy that? It calls a PHP script.

On my machine I only get taken to the index page using W2K/IE6. Using FF
I get nothing and on XP/IE7 I get taken to the index page too.

Maybe a setting on your computer!

Strange, worked fine here when I tested it.

I just tested again and on my system it doesn't show up if I make the
div absolute and leave out the display:block. (are you on XP? I use W2K
and a not so stable version of IE6)

So would it make any difference to add/delete that from a rule applied
to a div?

No. Unless something else had made it display:inline.

Just using XP Virtual PC on the Mac and IE6. I'm not aware that it would
show any differently, its always been reliable in the past.

Kim

2006-02-24, 10:16 pm

OK... so in my case it wouldn't have made any difference?

I think it may have something to do with the images inside the <div>.
What I did was apply a border to the <div> so I could see where it was.
When I did this it was definitely present in IE6.

Whether or not I had remove the display: block; at the time I applied
the border I can't remember.

OK... I'm a little wiser now (or less lost). thanks Murray

Hi Osgood,


I don't doubt what you say. I also mentioned that my version of IE6 is
very unstable and at times it does strange things. (I need to reformat
my HD... but later)[color=darkred]

Same thing goes for Opera. I'll figure it out

Currently its streching about a third

LOL... that's great news.

Actually no... but it might be I will forget about it. Once I'm done
getting this to work in IE/FF/Opera I'll see how it looks on Mac
browsers using Browsercam.

Once again... thanks and have a great weekend

I forgot to add that the 'Skrift' button is not adhereing to the length
you need it to be in Mac Mozilla. Currently its streching about a third
of the way into the text on the right. The good news is at least it goes
under the text and doesn't obsure it ;)

In Mac IE5x the layout is way off the mark but then again you may have
chosen to forget about that browser.
