If your using IE then there should be no problems. However if your using Mozilla you should experience the following
If you click View -> Text Zoom and then select an option then my menu will scatter. You see in between the buttons I have the " " and in IE I’m able to avoid trouble when people change the text size by fixing the " " to a size of 18pt but like I say this doesn’t work on Mozilla, any tips?
If your an IE user and you shrink your browser window you should see that I’ve customised your IE’s scrollbar to be orange and grey however on Mozilla this doesn’t work, anyone know how to get it to work?
Anyone know a way to specify what order things download in. I’d rather the text was the last thing to appear rather than the first.
I’m not to sure what you meant, that’s why I gave an ambiguous answer too :P,
it is possible that you could change the order things download in ie by changing the order of the stuff in the code, but it wouldn’t work in ff or mozilla because they parse text before images, why would you want to do that?
My toolbar is made up of six rollover images and between them, to space them correctly, I placed these things “ .” to space them 5 pixels apart. The thing is that the “ .” is treated as a blank space by IE and Mozilla so if you change the browsers default font size the space size changes and my toolbar becomes a bit of a mess.
To try and fix it I put the “ .”'s in font tags and created a style in the stylesheet with a fixed font size of 20px. In IE it works fine. I increase the font size and IE the contents font increases but the menu stays the same, i.e. the spaces in the toolbar stay the same size.
However this doesn’t work in Mozilla, I increase the font size it increases in the toolbar to but, like I say, only in Mozilla…:puzzled:
any ideas?
by the way with the " ."s I’ve replaced the ; with a . otherwise it doesn’t appear in the post, just a space and with the loading in order, it was just an idea it’s not important. I just thought because I have a slow internet connection when I’m visiting the site the text appears and then maybe 15 seconds later the rest does too.
"The “ALT” information in the html image tag defines the text, which is display instead of the image in text only browser software. However, Netscape started to display this text when a user hovers over an image on the displayed page. Internet Explorer now also shows the same behaviour. Clearly, this usage of the ALT text is not conform with its original definition and Mozilla therefore refuses to implement this feature after a long discussion. However, some users and page programmers have got used to it and rely upon it. Mozilla provides the application interface which easily allows to add this behaviour. Piro (SHIMODA Hiroshi) provides the necessary code on his site to have the ALT text displayed as Tooltip again."
thanks undiminished, using title as well as alt worked a treat :thumb:
unfortunately I have a problem with the solution bombingpixels suggested, i.e. the list. The horizontal list works fine however when I add it to a table it seems to add an extra line to the row and I’m not sure why. I’ve attached an image which shows how the table looks (the row background has a light blue colour to highlight what I mean)
