CSS Cell Question

Can anyone help me understand where i am going wrong. I am
trying to
create cell table buttons with CSS
Example here:
http://76.12.37.122/test
2 problems.
1) I cannot get the cell border to also follow the horizontal
between the
buttons. If i apply the class to the <tr> tag i get a
duplication of the
top and bottom of the cell.
2) I need to pad the cell somehow as i do not want the text
close to the
edge of the cell but in doing so the backgroud colour does
not fill the
cell. Is there a workaround?
My CSS
.test {
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
color: #000000;
border-top-width: 1px;
border-right-width: 1px;
border-bottom-width: 1px;
border-left-width: 1px;
border-top-style: solid;
border-right-style: solid;
border-bottom-style: solid;
border-left-style: solid;
border-top-color: #FF0000;
border-right-color: #FF0000;
border-bottom-color: #FF0000;
border-left-color: #FF0000;
display: block;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
.test a:link {
background-color: #FFFFFF;
display: block;
color: #000000;
.test a:visited {
display: block;
color: #000000;
.test a:hover {
background-color: #0066FF;
display: block;
color: #FFFFFF;
.test a:active {
display: block;

Paste this into dreamweaver and see if its somewhat similar
to what you
want. I am using unordered list <ul> and not table
cells. I am sure the
script can use improvement. Search the net and you'll find a
lot of well
written code etc.

Basic CSS Functionality Questions

Hi,
I have a CSS 11501 loaner on the way from Cisco, but was hoping to ask a few questions ahead of time. I am relatively new to this, so bear with me.
I have three offices connected via a VPN between two pix devices. Local users and anonymous web traffic all funnels through the remote office. I am hoping I can incorporate a CSS box to direct traffic (via a VPN to another pix) to a third office in the event the www server at the main office is not reachable, but return to the first office when it is back online.
I am a little confused by VIP. Right now, my domain name resolves to an IP address on the outside of my pix which NATs and sends the request on to my web server. If the CSS is behind it, do I create a VIP that maps to the actual IP of the www server, and have the pix send traffic to the VIP?
I have read the PDFs found online, but am still a little foggy.
Thanks,
JM

the Pix will have to send the traffic to the VIP.
The VIP should be an address existing only on the CSS and that the rest of your network knows how to reach.
The CSS will then nat to the real server ip.

Quick CSS box question

Hi guys,
Firstly a very Merry Christmas to you all !
I'm just getting to grips with converting all the text on my
site to CSS and have a quick question.
On some of my pages I add an 'Also see' links box aligned to
the right - it's a CSS div tag thingy someone kindly talked me
through once. All of my pages are built from a template with an
editable region.
My question is, can I add this box (perhaps with a standard
'Also check out' title and then spaces for my links) at the
template level? This will save me having to go to Insert>Layout
Objects>DivTag on every page. I've tried simply adding this to
the editable region of the template but it simply pushed the
editable region box over to the right and then didn't appear on my
pages
Also, the links box would ideally appear about half way down
my pages on the right...
Hope you can help, many thanks in advance!
James
Here's an example page where I have manually added my link
box on the right of the page...
http://www.fyrne.com/james_journalism/Pages/Mosaic_of_the_med.html

Your CSS link implies that the CSS file is in the Templates
folder. You
shouldn't have anything there other than the template (dwt)
files
themselves. Please move it out to any other location in your
site.
<link href="../../Templates/Box.css" rel="stylesheet"
type="text/css">
Changes made to template editable regions would not propagate
to existing
child pages - that's why you aren't seeing that addition in
them....

CSS layout question regarding browser sizing

Hi,
Basically I want the basis of my site to be - A header, Main content with a background image, A Footer.
I'm having problems however, I can't seem to get my footer to position where I want it i.e. at the bottom of the browser window at all times. I'm doing it as an AP div and how it should work is that it's fixed at the bottom of the page and then if the user resizes their browser in the y direction the footer moves up with it, over the top of the main content (but not the header which will have a higher z-index).
The way I THOUGHT to do it was to firstly create a div tag for the whole page (780 pixels wide, auto left and right margins, auto height) and then inside that put my ap div header fixed height at the top and have another ap div as the footer, fixed height and tell it to position 0 pixels from the bottom. However this doesn't seem to do the trick, I'm sure I'm missing something really really simple. Anyone who's vaguely familiar with the program will be able to answer this I'm sure. If my question isn't clear please let me know and I'll rephrase,
Ta

There is no reason to use APDivs for such a simple layout. Default CSS positioning (which is no positioning at all) is typically all you need for most layouts. Build your HTML markup logically from top to bottom of page and your footer will naturally appear at page bottom.

CSS Layout Questions

Only making baby steps in CSS still but I am learning a lot. Here's a link to the page I am trying to create: http://www3.telus.net/~jessum/details_layout.html
Here's what I have managed to create so far: http://www3.telus.net/~jessum/details.html
When explaining any steps please explain it using Dreamweaver. I will be looking in the code to see how it all works but I want to be able to get proficient using Dreamweaver so I can see how things flow etc. before I try and hand code.
Questions
1. Is it a good practice to use a "container" to hold all of the div's or is it better to start by adding a header without a container?
2. How can I centre a div in the page?
I read that to align the div so it's "centred' in the page I can use: margin: auto;
but I'm not sure how to do this. Please explain.
3. How do I remove the space around the "container"? I've set the margin and padding to: "0" but the space is still there.
Thanks

Not sure where this notion of using the body as a container came from but for years a wrapper or container was considered standard practice.
The idea is being promoted by several of the most active and knowledgeable members of this forum. I think the idea first came from Altruistic Gramps, and I remember debating the issue with him about a year ago. It has also been picked up enthusiastically by Murray, and I've seen Nancy O suggest the same idea.
I've been doing a lot of research into CSS3 recently, and discovered that the Borders and Backgrounds module specifically advises against styling the <html> element (http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-background/#special-backgrounds). It doesn't give a reason for this recommendation.
I suppose the idea of giving the body a width instead of using a container might come from the HTML5 definition of the body as representing the main content of the document (http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/the-body-element.html#the-body-element).
I suspect that this is likely to develop into the same type of fruitless argument as we had several years ago about the "superiority" of ems over pixels. Adding a single <div> to act as the container or wrapper for the content doesn't strike me as being less efficient. It also has the advantage of avoiding styling the <html> element.

Adding a link to a table cell question

ho can i add a link into a cell containing an image without increasing its size?
I am trying to make a link out of a table cell containing an image.
the problem is that the highlight frame around the image increases the size of the cell (and i cant have this since i imported all the small table images from photoshop wich constitute a big image).

no i am just exporting fragmented gif images from photoshop that i want to assemble again in dreamweaver through a table.
when i apply the link to one of the cells, dreamweaver increases its size (by 1 or 2 pixels) wich causes border gaps between cells and i cant have that.
i am using this cell as a button. all i want is to apply a link to a cell containing an image without modifying its size.
here's the code :

Beginners CSS layout question - expanding a layer and not overlapping another

Having got well and truly fed up of using tables to layout
pages I am trying to gem up on CSS layer based layout. All well and
good but despite the various tutorials I can't find an answer to
this question...
Q. I have a layout with layers to make a three column layout,
however, I want to have a footer section at the bottom of the page
that runs the same width as the three columns (you can see my WIP
example here
http://www.spiralfilm.com/clients/broadoak/index_css.html
). Problem is, as the centre section expands with more content, how
do I make that section expand and not overrun the current footer
section? I want it to expand like a table does and push the footer
down.
I'm sure it is simple but I just can't get my head around it!
Thanks in advance for any pointers...

> However, is the use of div tags the way to seperate
blocks of content? The
> DW8
> help file seems a little unclear on this?
Yes, it would be one way to do that. A div tag is simply a
container for
other HTML elements, like a table. The problem you are having
comes with
using DW 'layers' to contain text. As Thierry suggested, this
is because
absolutely positioned elements (i.e., DW 'layers') are
removed from the
normal flow, preventing them from interacting with adjacent
page elements -
this means that when the text inside them expands, it will
begin to overlap
other content. See my demonstration of this here -
http://www.great-web-sights.com/g_layers-overlap.asp

Javafx 2.1: TableView CSS Removal Question

Hi all i was hoping someone would be able to advise me on a query as regards TableView CSS.
I have a tableView, inside of which i have a CellFactory to render my data. Inside of which i have the following condition check. That when found true i want to highlight the full row of the table.
if (checkData(FullData, TableItem)) {
this.getTableRow().getStyleClass().add("triggerHighLight");
} else {
this.getTableRow().getStyleClass().remove("triggerHighLight");
CSS Entry
#myTable .triggerHighLight{
-fx-background-color: #ebc500;
#myTable .triggerHighLight .table-cell {
-fx-text-fill: black;
This works fine.
However, if i want to highlight the row and also change the color of the text, i need to add .table-cell in order to change the text color. But when i go to remove the style. The change of text color remains. Would anyone be able to advise how i can remove the fx-text-fill also? I have tried the below but this dosnt appear to work.
this.getTableRow().getStyleClass().remove("triggerHighLight .table-cell");

Have you tried 2.2?
Add a style that reverts the color back to the caspian default:
#myTable .table-cell {
    -fx-text-fill: -fx-text-inner-color;
}By the way, this.getTableRow().getStyleClass().remove("triggerHighLight .table-cell") will not work because the styleClass property is a List<String> (technically and ObservableList<String>) so you need to remove each styleClass individually.
    this.getTableRow().getStyleClass().remove("triggerHighLight");
    this.getTableRow().getStyleClass().remove("table-cell");
    But then, you really don't want to remove the table-cell styleClass.

CSS Design question

Hi All,
I have a couple of questions around the CSS 11501 would be grateful if any gurus out there cud shed more light, here goes;
-Does the CSS support bridging between 2 vlans? In a similar way to the CSM. What command might be used to achieve this?
Thanks.
Kind Regards,

Thanks for your response Giles.
Gotcha, further more ... so if CSS is L-2 adjacent to the servers do the servers have to have loopbacks created for the VIP?
I wud assume this wud be required as the CSS will only be re-writting the MAC address? Can you please shed more light here as well.
Cheers

Margin and Table Cell Question

Hi,
The main banner at the top of each page changes it's position
when I view it in the browser. For example, on this page it is okay
http://www.foryourbackyard.com.au/products.htm
Though this page the banner slips down a touch.
http://www.foryourbackyard.com.au/sheds.htm
Any ideas welcome.
Also on this site the table cells seem to have a gap at the
bottom of the roll over image.
http://www.d-force.com.au/
I'm not sure why.
Thank in advance.
Ray

For anybody who might stumble on this in the future looking for an answer to the same or a similar question, I figured this out with the help of Andreas Kiel and Philip Buckley on the Applescript Studio mailing list. Below is the answer.
Given a data source named "D" and table columns named "bc1" and "bc2" (both of which contain a checkbox style button cell), this is the syntax:
tell data source "D" --to check the checkboxes
set content of data cell "bc1" of every data row to true
set content of data cell "bc2" of every data row to true
end tell
tell data source "D" --to uncheck the checkboxes
set content of data cell "bc1" of every data row to false
set content of data cell "bc2" of every data row to false
end tell
The problem I was having is that I used the name of the button cell itself in the data cell reference rather than the name of the table column.
Hope someone finds this useful

CSS update question

I had font-size = 12 as a global CSS tag. Changed to 14 but no updates of existing elements displayed. Exited app and restarted, now CSS displays as 14pt in the property sheet but obviously still really 12 pt on run. Is there a call or invalidateDisplayProperties or something that can help refresh this?

I can change node color using jQuery contains() selector based on a value e.g. Project
apex.jQuery("#eba_demo_tree").find("a:contains('Project')").css("color","red");Now, the question how to update the jQuery code to do change the node based on a regular expression like
^[P]or in other words for all nodes starts with P, the color should be changed to redDon't think I can recall anyone posting a thread so they can answer another one (and demand points for doing so) before.
If anyone's up for it, just answer the original: +{thread:id=2491175}+

CSS sticky question

Hi guys,
I have one request, remote users dial into our sslvpn box, get their IP from an IP pool(sslvpn tunnel mode), then terminal to some servers. I plan to put a CSS in front of these terminal servers.
But one question is about stikcy problem. How can I configure the CSS to let one user go to the same terminal server all the time when he dials into our intranet?
Thank you.
Ed

Ed,
there is not much option.
It's either the ip address or we can spoof the data and find something else to match on.
But the CSS can only spoof HTTP and HTTPS.
So, for your terminal server I do not see a solution.

Css syntax question

sometimes a piece of css will look like this
#toolbar {
background-color: #313031;
padding: 5px 0px 5px 0px;
and sometimes it looks like this
.toolbar {
background-color: #313031;
padding: 5px 0px 5px 0px;
(note the # is replaced with a . )
is there any difference between the 2 ways of putting it?

cancel the last question
i think i discovered what it is
# selected ID elements
. selects class elements

CSS & PT Question

Hi Everyone
I have several sites that I'm getting rid of some older CUCM 4.3 boxes and I have a question about CSS and PT. Currently none of the sites are connected by to a PUB & SUB setup, all the sites are independent of each other but when I remove the older boxes and they just have the GW and they connect across the want I wanted to know can I use the current CSS & PT that I currently have on my SUB at our data center. I've checked all the boxes and they have the exact same setup as CSS & PT goes. But once they all connect back will I have to change anything or would I have to make any additional ones. I'm attaching a copy of the names that we have and these names again are the same on all the older boxes and on our new PUB & SUB.

That's up to your dial plan and requirements, you need to define whether the current dial plan adjusts to what the company wants, or if you need to modify it, but that's up to you.

Formatting Cell questions

Hi,
Like many others I am switching from Excel on a pc to Numbers on a Mac and I can't seem to figure this stuff(for now..)out.
1. How can I make the format cell bar appear and STAY or at least make it accessible ?
2. If I click the T I can get the format "bar" but it puts the word "text" in a random cell and
     I can't seem to get rid of it without deleting(using the delete key) the cell border too.
     Can someone please tell be how to format a border for a cell without the text ?
3. Speaking of borders....I can move the border(still with the word "text" in it though..)but the line size
     does not seem to match the cell size. So....how can I either squeeze up the border size to match the
     cell size or I am willing to change the cell size too so it will match the border. But I don't know how to
     do that either...So...more help please....
I have Numbers 3.2 and am using a newer iMac.
Sorry if these questions have already been posted by someone else.
Kinda pinched for time(again..like many others...)
Appreciate any help,
Gary

Hi Gary,
I am trying to add a border to a cell with numerical data in it, after it has been summed from the cells above.
I do not know if I will add the border or not until the sum appears, if that provides any more context to this.
Here's one way to do this. I've already entered my SUM function and decide I want a top border. So, with the cell selected, I go here (Format > Cell pane at right):
It's a little different from Excel, but convenient when you get used to it.
One thing you should take advantage of in Numbers: Header and Footer Row, and Header Column. Here, you could convert row 5 to Footer Row.
Then the formula here simplifies to =SUM(A) and you can easily add body rows in the table without having to worry about adjusting the formula.
