Eunoia ("beautiful thinking") is the shortest word in the English language that contains all five vowels. It is also the title of a poetry collection by Canadian author Christian Bok. In addition to writing each chapter using only words that contain one vowel, (Flash presentation of Chapter "E") Bok also greatly limits himself in other ways. An amazing accomplishment that won the $40 000 Griffith Poetry Prize in 2002, Eunoia is best experienced in its spoken form. (MP3 links) (If you don't know Bok's poetry, you still might know his other work. He has also created artificial languages for two television shows: Gene Roddenberry's Earth: Final Conflict and Peter Benchley's Amazon.)

Lists and Margins II

Lists and Margins II 10/28/2003 11:08 PM

First read the previous blog entry, and then read this response.

Responding to that trackback, the horizontal overlap when using list-style-position: inside with ordered lists has been fixed in Safari on Panther, and so I wasn't really concerned with that problem.

The real rendering problem I was referring to was the negative vertical margin being treated differently by Safari. To make a long story short (too late) I'm wrong. I totally missed the list-style-position: inside style in the test case.

The inside style causes the marker box to generate an inline box, a box that then has to be wrapped in an anonymous block. Safari generates the marker box within the first nested line box it can find, a behavior that - although incorrect according to CSS2.1 and the CSS3 draft - actually makes more sense to me. Nevertheless, to match the specification, it looks like I'll need to fix Safari's behavior. :)

In other words, Safari is "smart enough" (ha ha) to keep your bullet properly aligned vertically even when you place block elements as children of the list item. It will drill down as far as it needs to in order to find the correct first line, and it will generate the marker box there. Note that this is essentially how outside list bullets are positioned vertically, so IMO it's actually more consistent (albeit wrong according to the spec) to do this for inside bullets as well.

Ignoring the spec for a second, which behavior is better? Having to put an artificial negative margin on blocks in a list item in order to compensate for a line generated by the list bullet (other browsers) or having the marker just place itself correctly automatically (Safari)? You can tell by now which behavior I favor. ;)

Maybe it's not too late to change the spec. :)

In the trackback for my previous entry, Anton complains about Safari's misrendering of the list items at this URL.

As far as I can tell, Safari's rendering is correct. Mozilla seems to be ignoring the negative margin placed on the divs with class="title". If you change the display of the list items to block, Mozilla stops ignoring the negative margin and behaves like Safari.

This appears to be a bug in Mozilla to me, and I believe Safari's rendering is correct.

Creating Liquid Layouts with Negative
Margins 06/15/2004 08:28 AM
Two- and three-column, liquid page designs with header and footer are easy to dash off using old-school HTML table layout methods. Designing them in CSS is trickier, and can sometimes even require you to structure your page's content elements in a specific (and undesirable) order. Negative margins to the rescue! Ryan Brill whips up two quick CSS layouts to demonstrate the power of negative thinking.

Cause Cancellation 05/11/2004 08:57 PM
Microsoft's mission accomplished message belied by drop in marketshare, commodity pricing: News.com follows up on yesterday's scoop that Microsoft was canceling its broadband wireless products with analysis of the exit. A Microsoft spokesperson attributed the exit to having fulfilled their goals of raising the standard of Wi-Fi products, but a drop from 9 to 6.6 percent marketshare over three months coupled with the fungibility and low cost of Wi-Fi gear was the reason, News.com writes. Linksys may pick up the slack, but might also be forced to lower prices....
