I don't really understand what you mean by this question. "Fixed" is a positioning property that you can add to any element (or as a background attachment) but there's not certain "codes" you can add it to.

My response to this question makes it difficult to answer Sallie's.



Q: How does one remove just the interests information on the details section of an old school profile?

[Spectacularism]

I honestly don't know, but I'll give a guesstimate from what I've learned looking at Gaia's own style sheets:

#details dd, #details h3
{display:none;}

Q: How would I go about making a section look like a triangle, without the use of images?

Q: How would I go about making a section look like a triangle, without the use of images?

A:as far as I know, you can't.

Q: How do you apply certain CSS only to certain devices?

[Spectacularism]

Aha but you are wrong! razz .

A div or a section can be made to look like a triangle through the use of cleverly-placed borders. link

A: I believe this can be achieved through the use of the @media selector.
eg.
@media handheld{
body {font-size: 15px;}
}

Q: How do you make the first letter of a paragraph a different color and size, using CSS?

[pink keys]

A: um... uh... I'm feeling abnormally dumb now.

Q: Why is Comic Sans MS considered a bad font to some pders?

[Spectacularism]

pink keys

some pders

pretty much anyone who has had much to do with type*

Simply because of how abused the font is, aside from it being a terrible font in general. The font was originally designed for use with designs related to comics (who knew?) or children; not for the extreme overuse that we now see almost every day. Comic Sans is constantly used inappropriately, for things like; a player name on the back of a basketball shirt, a grave marker, teacher reviews for a graphic design department etc.

People who do not hate it for it's overuse, hate it for it's poor aesthetics. The kerning and weighting of the font are inconsistent or unbalanced, and the font isn't really suitable for use in a comic at all.

Q: My previous one. I wanna see if anyone can answer it. razz

[Swell Sundae]

Aye, to answer your question Spect (my apologies for shortening your name ^^" ) I think it'd be adding :first-letter to the end of the selector and then editing it with properties and values as desired, like for example .panel h2:first-letter{color:blue;font-size:20px;}? I'm quite unsure of the question as well, though that's what I think you're asking/questioning ^^"

For the next person: For an old school profile, what kind of positioning(s) would you use so everything'd look best in the four major browsers (FF, IE, Chrome and Safari; IE 6 is not included in this browser count)? I'm curious and would like to know ^^" usually because everything made in Firefox looks wonky in IE; etc

and @ pink keys: the answer to my column selector question was really .column 3nodding #columns is merely the container for all three columns on v2. ^^

[Jitaroo]

@Spec~ A: You'd use the :first-letter Psuedo with different values to your "default" settings. Oh Swell, darn you. D<
Well. Wouldn't know the best way. As far as I know. Safari, Chrome and FireFox all have the same positioning. IE's just a stubborn ho. I always use Absolute positioning, and "hacks" to position for IE (When I can be bothered.).

#section { position: absolute; margin-top: xxxpx; .margin-top: xxpx;}

And the only other major thing is not to position the embed or object directly as the browsers read these differently. I've heard someone say only use Relative positioning though. I guess it just depends on what works for you. ^^;

Q: How can you test on different browsers without actually having them installed? (There's no absolute answer for this, there's probably many ways.)

[Swell Sundae]

lol, darning me rofl

Ah, okays c: thankies Fluff! heart

As for your question, I think one way'd be to go to browsershots.org and check off boxes for whatever you'd like to test for; though I remember one other person saying something about downloading some sort of program that ran through checking your profile for you or something like that.. ^^"

For the next person: On an old school profile, how would you get rid of the caption tail on the comments?

[Spectacularism]

@Talk about IE; I simply don't support it. If you visit my profile in IE it won't even let you in; cause I've got mad coding skills. razz

A: #comments .message {background-image:none;}

Q: How would I remove "Viewing 00 of 00 comments" without removing the date, in the comments section on an old school profile?

A~ Shorten the height to #comments .links, or add display: none; to it. Don't get rid of #comments .date C;.

Q~ How do you make the rounded corners of your comment captions show?
