Hello,
I always use EM for text size, letter spacing and line heights.
For DIV widths I usually use PIXELS if fixed width web site and
PERCENT if fluid layout web site.
I think in both cases I am doing the right thing ... I think.
But what unit should I use for padding and margin? EM? PIXEL?
Thanks,
Miguel 5 3187

You should at least stop doing this in the case of line-height.
For DIV widths I usually use PIXELS if fixed width web site and
PERCENT if fluid layout web site.

If you use fixed width of px for a div and the content is wider than the
div, it will look ugly and/or broken
But what unit should I use for padding and margin? EM? PIXEL?
It depends on the context. Post a url of something you are unsure about.

Good for you and your visitors, if you use reasonable values. However,
line-height is best set as a pure number, for inheritance-related
technical reasons.

Why would you suddenly spoil everything and set a fixed width in pixels?
Suppose you set a width of 800 pixels; how many characters will fit in,
horizontally? The only correct answer is "I don't know" or "It depends".
But what unit should I use for padding and margin? EM? PIXEL?
The answer is obvious if you think _why_ you use the em unit for text
size and related matters, assuming you understand the reason and aren't
just following some guideline without knowing why.

Yes, I understood that one hour ago. It also seems the CSS validator
has some problems with unitless values so I need to use 1.0 instead of
1.

Yes, I understand the reason ... with EM when text size increases so
it will the padding and margin.
About the fluid versus fixed ... in the web site I am building I have
two requirements:
1. The web site has a flash movie which should expand all width of the
layout.
To be honest I don't know if a Flash movie should be expanded or
not.
2. The web site must display flash papers documents online.
I need to display the Flash Paper documents with at least 800px
width.
Again I also don't know if I should make the design fluid with
Flash documents in it.
These are the reasons why I am using Fixed Layout instead of Fluid
Layout.
Not sure if I am taking the right option but ...
Anyway, any suggestion is welcome.
I have been always reading about Elastic layouts. Does everyone use
it?
Thanks,
Miguel

You're supposed to quote just the relevant part, instead of a fullquote
_and_ a quotation of the relevant part. Google for "how I quote on
Usenet".
Yes, I understood that one hour ago.
OK. What were we supposed to get from this information?
It also seems the CSS validator
has some problems with unitless values so I need to use 1.0 instead of
1.
What? You seem to have misunderstood something completely. Changing
values in your style sheet just to deal with an assumed CSS Validator
bug is perverse.
Then again, if this is still about line-height, then 1.0 is almost
always too small for any normal text, but so is 1.1, except perhaps for
fonts like Calibri that utilize, on average, a fairly small part of the
height of the font.

Hi all,
I've trolled through Google, a little of evolt, css-discuss archives,

simple enough that I'd have turned it up on any of those sources, but,
alas, that's not the case.
So, please refer to

Hello,
In my (seemingly) endless quest to understand CSS, I have yet another
problem. Please look at http://www.kidsinaction.org.uk/ph/x.html in
Opera, where you will see it how I expected. If you look at it in IE (6
or 7), you find it also looks fine, except for the top margin missing
from the links across the top of the page. That's not the main issue
here, but any pointers as to why it doesn't show them would be
appreciated.

A veteran of early html, I've modified my blog template and made it
look rather clean (albeit rather plain) when viewed with IE.
Ironically, I'm a big Firefox fan, but when viewed in FF, my blog
leaves a lot to be desired.
The blog (which is at http://lazycomic.blospot.com/ ) is a basic two
column style, with the right column being the one that's giving me the
problems.

Why is it when I have a DOCTYPE line in my HTML then "margin" and
"padding" are ignored?
This happens in both inline and stylesheet styles.
It happens for both XHTML and HTML doctypes.
It happens in IE6, IE7 and Firefox (didn't try any others).
And when you save the page, the margin/paddings are actually REMOVED
from the saved HTML file (!).
Why is this?

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
