Hi,
this has certainly been discussed within W3C, but I'd like to give my humble
comment here, too...
Using the current (CSS compliant) width/height handling it is not possible
to easily add full width background to any block element.
Currently, I'm responsible for adding a coloured background around headers
for certain customers. The header background should be coloured and "width:
100%;". Using IE quirks handling, I'd have written something like this:
h1,h2,h3,h4,h5, h6,h7
{
background-color: green;
color: black;
width: 100%;
padding: 1em 3em;
border: 2px solid darkgreen;
margin: 0 0 1em;
}
This works fine, no need to add a div, table or anything around each and
every header element... However, in CSS 2.1 I can't find any setting that
possibly could achieve something like this.
So here's my personal vote to those being responsible to decide about new
CSS specifications: Please positively add the "box-sizing" property to CSS.
It will fill a gap in the current 2.1 specification for sure. [Again, this
is just my humble opinion. Anyone coming up with a pure CSS 2.1 compliant
solution, and I will immediately change my mind ;) ]

'width: auto', which is the default value, will do what you want, as
far as I can tell.

Thanks David, for giving me this hint! You are right, according to the specs
your suggestion is going to work, I see it now. I forgot because I
remembered a Netscape version - I believe it was v6 - which rendered a
minimum box around blocks if I didn't explicitly set with to 100%. But, of
course, it wasn't compliant at that time. Yet it stuck to my mind, though.
Thanks for helping me out.
Regards,
Axel

Okay,
What I'm trying to do is create two boxes, one on top of the other.
The first is a static height, the 2nd, underneath it, should take up
the remaining amount of screen space and overflow with its own
vertical scrollbar for any extra content.
I've managed to come up with this, which works perfectly in Mozilla,
but fails in IE:

it possible to) group several elements and style a generated

According to a recent post, it seems that Konqueror 3.1+ and Safari 1.1
support CSS3 opacity style property under a proprietary name:
"Support for the CSS3 opacity (using -khtml-opacity) property. Make

Hi all,
I did make a script/css thing to replace the contextmenu on the website with
a new one: http://www.djwice.com/contextmenu.html
It works nice in MSIE, but on Netscape (and probable other browsers) it
stays on the same place (does not "open'' where the mouse is). And the links
do not work when you click on them.
If anyone has sugestions on how to improve it, please let me know.

Anyone know if Firefox, say, implements just a tad more CSS3 than
this?
I was thinking of downloading. It's free, unlike Opera.
Looks interesting, however.

This posting will express my concern about the future of css3
forthcoming recommendation.
I think for long time now, that the current implementation of CSS
attribute opacity is less than usable in practical real life situations.
The soon forthcoming CSS3 recommendation does not serve the public
interests in this area not at all. The problem relies in the definition
what opacity is, how it is to applied to page elements.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
