Fatboy if you do find any book about future trends of css and web design or anyone else got any great reads be sure to post them up.

A great read, and beautifully put together book. This year I would like to ask Santa to get me a book that is as equally designed and discusses the future of web design, css3 and the internet. Does anyone know of any that may suit? j twofivethreetwo on "Use pixels or percent?" http://designsadvice.com/forums/topic/use-pixels-or-percent#post-179 Thu, 06 Sep 2007 00:27:59 +0000 twofivethreetwo 179@http://designsadvice.com/forums/ Exactly, no matter how much trouble IE gives us its still the majority and a client doesn't pay for most of their users to have a broken site. I've converted a lot of my clients to FireFox in the past 2 years, but IE will always be there and have a good margin. When I look at my logs for different sites and client sites there are still people using IE5.5 and every now and then I see NN 6 or 7. drew on "3 Column same height CSS layout" http://designsadvice.com/forums/topic/3-column-same-height-css-layout#post-178 Wed, 05 Sep 2007 20:31:29 +0000 drew 178@http://designsadvice.com/forums/ it is because of the IE6 & 7 'Peek-a-boo bug' <a href="http://www.positioniseverything.net/explorer/peekaboo.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.positioniseverything.net/explorer/peekaboo.html</a> zar36 on "Use pixels or percent?" http://designsadvice.com/forums/topic/use-pixels-or-percent#post-177 Wed, 05 Sep 2007 20:27:30 +0000 zar36 177@http://designsadvice.com/forums/ Hi colourdreamer, I agree margins are outside the div and padding is inside, well thats the case with firefox and standards. IE tends to go silly when you set a width on a block element and padding. It doesnt really matter to me as there are <a href="http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=BoxModelHack">hacks</a>. Around 80% of web surfers are still using IE so we have to make our clients happy. colourdreamer on "Use pixels or percent?" http://designsadvice.com/forums/topic/use-pixels-or-percent#post-176 Fri, 31 Aug 2007 12:11:11 +0000 colourdreamer 176@http://designsadvice.com/forums/ Hmmm I think the box model explicit width should be set at the border. Makes most sense to me. Maybe I'm thinking of this differently. Padding goes inside the div and margin outside. Or that's how it should be. I get confused about which browser does what, but if IE does/did that, then I'd rather have voted for that. But I don't make the rules. Look at it this way, why should padding and margin do the same thing? In the case of bulleted lists, FF and IE use them differently and I take the approach to make them equal which outputs equal. (And play if there needs further adjustment.) I forget which prefers which by now. LOL. I'm so over-coded the last few weeks. Yes, so padding and margin shouldn't be redundant. If the "correct" way to render is making them both go on the outside of the div, what is the point? I'm a little cranky, because my issue with Firefox is that it doesn't split to a new line with hyphens. I wish it would for my personal account on my new site, but I'm designing for the general, so I let my user page go a little off in Firefox. I also just came off a project with which I was told to forget Firefox if it's not too bad and make it look good in IE. The site still doesn't center right in FF, but I don't know what to do and clients are happy. I couldn't find an answer online, it seemed to say that FF doesn't do the centering right. Seriously what I read seemed to say give up. Well maybe I should start a thread on here. I might have another question, too. You lot seem very knowledgeable. I'm only craftilly cunning and have a good aesthetic. I know a lot, too. If I can't find a solution I have to think one up. It's tiring! But I wish I could ANSWER more, I don't want to be the "non-professional". I'm self-taught but I blog and run sites for a living. Hope this site finds success, I find it better so far than the other coding sites. See they think more in code. This one's pink!

I have a quick look with opera, although if it works in FF you're pretty safe. Same goes for Safari/Mac.

What browser do you do all your testing in? I usually work in firefox then check in IE when im satisfied with the layout. zar36 on "3 Column same height CSS layout" http://designsadvice.com/forums/topic/3-column-same-height-css-layout#post-132 Sun, 17 Jun 2007 22:01:15 +0000 zar36 132@http://designsadvice.com/forums/ That float tutorial was really helpful. I also read this <a href="http://alistapart.com/articles/fauxcolumns/." rel="nofollow">http://alistapart.com/articles/fauxcolumns/.</a> I guess what I was trying to achieve was something in the way of height="100%", but thats not the approach using css layout.

Saves a lot of headaches. Keep it simple.
