Scripsit Rudi Hausmann:
I want to make a text that goes out of a div under another div
visible.
That's about styling, not HTML. I'm not moving the discussion to
c.i.w.a.stylesheets, though, since it's not clear at all what you really
want.
This example illustrates it:
<div style="border-right: 1px solid; width: 9px; background-color:
White; float: left;">
<b>Hello</b>
</div>
<div style="border-right: 1px solid; width: 9px; background-color:
White; float: left;"> </div>
Not really. You are not saying anything about any meaning or content, which
would be HTML related, and you are not describing the desired visual
appearance either. You just give some hints. The code works differently in
Quirks Mode vs. Standards Mode - is that what you want? Which mode do your
pages trigger?
I want to see the whole "Hello" including both border lines.
That's not a very exact description, and it is not consistent with your
actual code. It sounds like you might want the second <divto have
transparent background, as it would have by default - but you're explicitly
setting it to a specific color.
Currently I just see something like: "H| |llo"
Sounds like Standards Mode. In Quirks Mode on IE 7, I see (very roughly
speaking)
"Hello| |". Normally you should author new pages to trigger Standards Mode,
but Quirks Mode gives an idea of what might happen on IE 5, which isn't used
much but isn't quite ignorable either.
In Standards Mode, the appearance naturally depends on the font size. If I
increase the size, different parts of the word "Hello" are masked out, as
expected.
Why don't you describe a real-life use case and illustrate it with a URL?
Preferably as an HTML document that works without CSS, too. Then you can
explain how you would like it to be styled when possible.
