I inherited an application where display:none was used to control conditional display of input elements based the values of other input elements. The way this was handled is by running some pretty ugly code to evaluate field values and reset the display property in the during page load. Every time. Isn't there a better way? ...

From what I know, the em keyword in CSS means the current size of a font. So if you put 1.2 em, it means 120% of the font height. It doesn't seem right though that em is used for setting the width of divs etc like YUI grids does: margin-right:24.0769em;*margin-right:23.62em; Everytime I read about em, I forget what it really represe...

This question is about organizing the actual CSS directives themselves within a .css file. When developing a new page or set of pages, I usually just add directives by hand to the .css file, trying to refactor when I can. After some time, I have hundreds (or thousands) of lines and it can get difficult to find what I need when tweaking...

I know this would be easy with position:fixed, but unfortanately I'm stuck with supporting IE 6. How can I do this? I would rather use CSS to be clean, but if I have to use Javascript, that's not the end of the world. In my current implementation I have a "floating footer" that floats above the main content area and is positioned with...

I have a page which is largely created by DOM script, which generates a table of images (normal img elements) from several webcams (helping out a friend with a pet boarding and my HTML/DOM is a bit rusty). It works fine in FF3 or Chrome, but not in IE7, In fact, the whole table is not visible in IE (but the body background-color is app...
My favorite equation for centering an xhtml element using only CSS is as follows: display:block; position:absolute; width: _insert width here_; left:50%; margin-left: _insert width divided by two & multiplied by negative one here_ There's also the simpler margin:auto method in browsers that support it. Does anyone else have tricky way...
