And you thought I tripped and fell, got amnesia, and couldn’t remember my Textpattern login information.
Image Replacement
I have been using a modified version of the Malarkey Image Replacement technique ever since Andy wrote about it. But people mention seeing the first letter peeking out when viewing in IE. Here is what I did:
.mir { letter-spacing : -1000em; }
/*\*/
* html .mir {
text-indent: -999em;
overflow: hidden;
}
html>body .mir {
letter-spacing: normal;
text-indent: -999em;
overflow: hidden;
}/**/
Yes, I do think it looks a heck of a lot cleaner without those span tags
scattered all over the place.
Box Model Hack of Choice: Simplified BMH
Digging through the default stylesheet for Textpattern, I found this:
#myblock {
width: 250px;
\width: 300px;
w\idth: 250px;
padding: 0 25px;
}
It seems to work well for me so far. If there are any problems, I will look into the Modified Simplified BMH.
The ‘Forms’ Stylesheet
Remember that stylesheet we used to fix forms after using the Universal Selector? Well, I have seen some weird rendering effects in IE/Mac, and it all comes down to one line of code in the stylesheet. But I do have a solution for it. Hide it using the Backslash Hack.
/*\*/select > option{padding:0 5px 0 3px;}/**/
Just to make it up to you, I will have a few more thoughts in the next couple of days.
