Another css question

[Skunk]

Don't have Safari/Java issues... Run several OSX boxes from 10.2.8 to 10.4.4.
Checked for the latest Software updates? I think you said you had.

InDesign... Do you HATE your prepress house? If so use transparency.

TA: they haven't... Rosetta emulates G3 processor.

skunk: yeah that's what I thought .. rosetta is a dog I hear.
I've got a g4 mini, with fireworks dreamweaver (never use it), and flash (I hate designing) version MX and have never seen them crash .. although I've only ever really used fireworks

is that one of the flashy new intel macs?
I didn't think adibe had release universal binaries yet ..

no - because of a need to service some customers who are still on quark - i got the last of the g5 power pc towers so i can run classic mode. Which I now hate.

20" cinema display and a 17" flat screen - for me palettes, beside it - lovely box - OS doesn't work as it should - but the extras are way funky.

[Skunk]

Short anwser: Yes. Photoshop psd/tif with masks or clear backgrounds and InDesign/Illustrator transparency.

This is what I say to our clients. Read the Adobe PDF linked there. I can add more to that document.

This thread is off topic.

Best fix is DON'T run Classic. We have a separate OS9 Mac for Quark and Pagemaker. Too many hassles otherwise with fonts causing issues everywhere.

yeah basically what i'm doing with the g4 - still got the beige g3 running the dowload apps too.

Using classic has been quite good at opening quark files and then converting them to indesign jobs.

I was still using pagemaker too - so the new stuff is just the old stuff to get the new stuff - hey pete gabriel!

so i sussed it!

with the help of the link to the validators you skunkness. just tidying up the new BRONZ web site with css that works on both browsers.

it was in fact a bad css sheet that the validator showed me how to fix.

I still have not got my head around the doc type for line 1 - if I say 'strict' it tells me i can't have items that are not there. job for tomorrow.

Meantime I take my hat and my trousers off to you o potentially smelly one.


(I have to add that I am OVER cutting and pasting code right now)

Use a TRANSITIONAL. They are more flexible. Some browser with layout and render differently based on the DOC TYPE. Basically you're telling the browser how to interpret the code.
