<makliv> Is there a way to disable a link? So if I have <a href="x" id="nolink">foo</a> then the word foo becomes normal text
<st1lgar> makliv: huh? you mean dynamically disabling it, with js for instance ?
<hawkaloogie> um.. yeah, remove the href
<makliv> so it can't be done in CSS?
<st1lgar> makliv: i'm still not sure what you want..
<makliv> #nolink { mumbo jumbo magic... }
<makliv> so that the link doesn't become a link anymore if it had the id = "nolink"
<st1lgar> you could hide the link with .links { text-decoration: none; }
<makliv> ok... is there a CSS rule that when applied to a link, would disable the link feature itself? it just becomes normal text
<st1lgar> i don't think there is a disable attribute for links
<makliv> oh... alright thank you st1lgar
<st1lgar> just to satisfy my curiosity, how do you want to use such a construction ?
<st1lgar> i mean, what are you trying to do ?
<makliv> in a navigation bar... I have <a id="home" href="....">home</a><a id="contact" href="....">contact</a> etc...
<makliv> sorry
<makliv> <a cl***="home" href="....">home</a><a cl***="contact" href="....">contact</a> etc...
<makliv> and if I'm in the "home" page, I would dynamically insert the word "home" in the id of the body tag
<makliv> <body id="home">
<makliv> I would have a CSS rule as follows:
<makliv> #home .home, #contact .contact { make this link distinctive to show the user he/her is on this page}
<st1lgar> ic
<makliv> the problem here is that the hover action still works, and the user can still click on the "home" link
<st1lgar> do you use AJAX or something similar so you have to do it dynamically ?
<st1lgar> else it's much easier to write a <span> instead of a <a> for the active page
<makliv> no, I don't use AJAX (gosh, I hate this word)
<frb-work> are there any good ebooks on CSS?
<makliv> eric myers book
<frb-work> is that the oreilly one?
<chino> how do you stop an iframe from over flowing in ie ?
<r0xoR> chino, overflow: none; ?
<chino> i tried
<r0xoR> `overflow
<chino> still over flows
<r0xoR> dunno then...
<chino> yea
<r0xoR> try not using iframes :)
<chino> thanks anyway
<chino> i cant
<r0xoR> ...
<r0xoR> why not?
<r0xoR> just use a div
<chino> until i figure out how to make the same look inside of a div
<r0xoR> so figure it out ;)
<chino> but i cant
<r0xoR> but you can... you just haven't tried hard enough... obviously
<chino> i have no clue how to float something to the bottom of a div
<chino> yes i have
<chino> float right top
<r0xoR> chino, that'd be called absolute positioning
<chino> for instance
<r0xoR> and or
<chino> is right top of the page
<chino> not hte div.....
<r0xoR> vertical-align;
<chino> no no
<chino> i just want the user list on the top right
<r0xoR> float: right; vertical-align: bottom;
<chino> then a input at the bottom
<r0xoR> float: right; vertical-align: top;
<r0xoR> or
<chino> yes but float right sends it to the top right of the whole page not hte div!
<r0xoR> position: absolute; top: 0; right: 0;
<r0xoR> in what browser
<chino> firefox
<r0xoR> ...
<r0xoR> that's odd
<r0xoR> it shouldn't do that
<chino> like is aid that also makes it go to the top right of the page
<r0xoR> you've something wrong with your code then
<r0xoR> no...
<r0xoR> you've something wrong with your code
<r0xoR> chino, abs pos and floats work correctly for me
<chino> <div><span style="position:absolute;top:0px;right:0px;">Right Header</span></div>
<chino> like that right ?
<r0xoR> don't use a span dingbat :P
<r0xoR> use another div
<r0xoR> spans are inline
<chino> even if i used another div
<chino> yes
<chino> i know
<r0xoR> you must set position: relative; on the parent container
<chino> whats that mean ?
<r0xoR> well... you don't know what "parent container" means?
<chino> but what if i want the parent container positioned diff ?
<r0xoR> chino, such as... how...
<chino> <div style="posistion:absolute;"><div style="position:absolute;top:0px;right:0px;">Right Top</div></div>
<chino> like that ?
<r0xoR> wrong
<chino> i eman relative
<chino> <div style="posistion:relative;"><div style="position:absolute;top:0px;right:0px;">Right Top</div></div>
<r0xoR> correct
<chino> thats all ?
<r0xoR> that's all
<chino> then i can smack things around like they are trapped in it ?
<r0xoR> ... there's a caveat for IE as usual
<r0xoR> but, uhh... sure
<r0xoR> "smack" things around... why not
<chino> <div style="position:absolute;left:0px;right:0px;"><div style="posistion:relative;"><div style="position:absolute;top:0px;right:0px;">Right Top</div></div></div>
<chino> how about that ?
<r0xoR> sure
<chino> ok i got another qeustion for you
<r0xoR> ok ask it
<chino> say i have a float
<r0xoR> no lets not
<r0xoR> :P
<chino> lol ?
<r0xoR> go on
<chino> ok so its floating on the right side of something
<chino> its being pushed over if you know what i mean
<r0xoR> i don't know what you mean by that "pushed over" comment
<r0xoR> but anyway i know what a float is yes
<chino> if i put a iframe or a scrolling div it constantly jerks back and forth causing a blink and this only happens as from waht i can see as a struggle between floating or absolute posistioning and source code placement
<r0xoR> ...
<r0xoR> i have zero experience with iframes
<r0xoR> they are incompatible at best so i don't use them
<r0xoR> chino, i think i remember you now... the blinker guy
<chino> like for instance if i have a floating scroll div and its wrapping below something it will keep flashing
<frb-work> iframes are evil
<r0xoR> but when i tried it in mozilla... it didn't blink
<chino> well it doesnt' matter about iframes
<r0xoR> frb-work!
<r0xoR> furby you're back!
<chino> iframes do it too
<r0xoR> ;)
<frb-work> I'm always here
<r0xoR> chino, show me an example
<r0xoR> frb-work, lol as am i
<r0xoR> frb-work, except... when i'm not
<chino> ok
<frb-work> I learn by osmosis
<r0xoR> frb-work, hahah
<frb-work> any good tutorials on real multicolumn layout?
<r0xoR> frb-work, define "real"
<r0xoR> frb-work, there are plenty on multi-column
<frb-work> alistapart uses an image to make fake columns
<r0xoR> not any on fullheight
<frb-work> I want real fullheight columns
<r0xoR> no, you're talking about fullheight
<r0xoR> frb-work, aha
<r0xoR> frb-work, you're in luck my boy :) ... i have your solution
<frb-work> well, they don't have to be fullheight
<frb-work> having something like...
<frb-work> A B C
<frb-work> D B C
<frb-work> would be cool too
<r0xoR> frb-work, http://151.203.108.130:5454/fixed/
<frb-work> but I only know how to do that with tables
<r0xoR> http://151.203.108.130:5454/fixed/ie.html
