JavaScript data grid in a fluid layout?

We are contemplating using the DataGrid component from DojoX in our web applications. The problem I have is that it doesn't seem to play well with fluid (a.k.a. liquid) CSS layouts -- it seems to like every width predefined. In fact the documentation warns about the automatic width for the columns feature and my attempts to use dynamic w...

Fluid 960: Weird Alpha/Omega behavior

I'm using Fluid 960 at the moment, and I'm getting some weird behavior with alpha/omega. My understanding of alpha/omega is that it's used to fix left/right margins in nested grids. However, when I apply alpha/omega to a pair of nested grids, the left hand side grid has a really shallow indent while the right hand side grid has a large ...

How to convert a fixed height/width-fixed layout to elastic?

I used the same software used here http://us.gn.bartal.org/ to create a fixed width/height treemap in HTML + CSS. I would like to make it elastic by having a JavaScript function to convert all pixels absolute positions and sizes to percentages. How would you suggest to proceed? Is there some jQuery/Prototype/Dojo magic that I can explo...

I'm using a fluid layout in the new theme that I'm working on for my blog. I often blog about code and include <pre> blocks within the posts.

auto resize text (font size) when resizing window?

Hi, I have been trying(in vain) to build a page whose elements would resize as I changed the window size. I have it working in css for images no problem, but I can't seem to accomplish the same for text, and I am not sure it is even possible in CSS.

Does FluidMoveBehavior work with ContentPresenter or am I running into a known limitation in Silverlight 4?

I have created a custom ToggleButton where the content is a TextBlock (not just a string) pasted in manually into the right place in XAML. The parent layout in the ToggleButton is a Grid with 2 columns, where the toggling swaps the ContentPresenter and some graphics between the columns. The graphics animate perfectly when FluidMoveBehav...

Fixed-width or fluid-width for accessibility

I was told that fixed-width websites are not accessible because most screen readers cannot read content that scrolls off the screen. Is there any truth to this? This doesn't sound correct to me, so I thought I would ask for some clarification on the topic. Any information would be greatly appreciated, thanks! ...

CSS Div width percentage and padding without breaking layout

There may be a simple fix for this, but it has troubled me for ages now... Let me explain the situation. I have a div with the ID 'container' that holds all the contents in the page (including header and footer also) that will keep everything inline and I can do just 1 simple 'margin:0 auto;' instead of multiples. So lets say that I h...

Do I need to use javascript to get fluid width columns and static width columns to share the same row?

I have a variable number of divs acting as columns, and I would like a variable number of them to have static widths (in pixels) and a variable number of them to expand to the remaining width in the window. If I make the fluid column widths combine to 100%, some columns will be squeezed out of the row - do I need to use javascript to sub...
