Bently: But only been learning for 3 days. Still a lot to learn
Ganser: Everage, Thanks for the tips! I’ll start a new page tomorrow and see if I can slim it down to the minimalist approch as much as possible.
Mishoe: When I want to have a background that starts in one color, then goes white, back to the color and back to white in a horizontal fashion, is there some nice way to doing so?
Mishoe: Another question, I was handled a template where “!important” is used all the time, is that a good way of doing?
Emison: Iaj, not its not a good way
Mishoe: Thought so = ok I’ll try to get rid of those and use more efficient selectors
Mishoe: I once heard of a plugin/javascript snippet that enables one to click on several items on a page and a selector is generated, anyone know which one I mean?
Garramone: I got this page: http://www.mybuzil.de/wo-moechten-sie-reinigen/bad/buzil-drizzle-red7-sp-40.html – you can select the quantity by clicking on the + / – icon
Danko: Well, on the right of the + icon theres a white order on the right
Apthorpe: How do i get that away?.
Layher: What’s the best font for tiny letters?
Axman: Im actually lost cause it generates so weird width values automatically lol ._.
Emison: Xatenev, from css .quantity_counter remove width
Matras: Best generally available font for tiny letters ?
Emison: Xatenev, that counter box has static width setwidth: 105px; just remove that line
Sawatzki: But as you can see threes still a small whit eorder
Emison: Xatenev, does the page have caching? I still see the same css
Bodiroga: Emison: well of course I didnt push ti live yet
Elisondo: But you can see the result if u just remove the width via firebug
Emison: Xatenev, well I don’t see the 1px right white border
Emison: Xatenev, I see white border on the bottom though
Schoening: I see 1px bottom and 1px right
Pauker: But i can rmeove the 1px bottom with height: 60px
Emison: Xatenev, oh you are on firefox?
Borozny: In firefox it looks great
Emison: Xatenev, oh yes i see both borders, its just the developer tools shrunk the width of the page and there was no white border on right
Maggini: How can i get that **** away
Topness: Its obv some chrome problem
Chamberland: Cause it behaves correctly in ff
Tinkham: I need to create a menu that only shows on focus. So when a keyboard user blind person uses the site, the first thing they come to when they press “Tab” is the hidden menu. The menu then links to content , search and the real menu.
Menchen: I’ve been able to do this with one and one li, but not with the whole ol or ul .
Chhabra: Basiccly the css hides the items left: -1000em and on focus it should show them on top of the site.
Emison: Xatenev, ive noticed that if you remove from *{margin: 0} it fixes the border, but of course it messes up everything else, but maybe it has something to do with margin
Everage: Helly: stick a tabindex=”1″ on it
Everage: Helly: #a11y can help further
Luette: To get it to be the first element ?
Everage: Helly: to make it the first thing in the tab ordering
Mcdonagh: Well the element has 0 margin
Maruca: Yeah, but that is not the problem. The problem is getting the list of links to focus and show on the site.
Everage: Helly: to get it to focus, tabindex will make an element ‘focusable’
Kocab: Thanks for the #a11y tip. I’ll check it out.
Emison: Xatenev, try to toggle in firebug the margin for *{} it does take it away, but its not the fix just might be a clue
Everage: You can then use :focus to change the visual style i.e. make it visible on :focus
