Re: CSS problem with Amaya - 9.0-pre4 Dec 15 2004

Hello!

Now I have found out what the problem is about.
I found two different problems with Amaya:

1. link to CSS does not work this way:

> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="all" href="/main.css" />

Using href="main.css" (relative-path reference) works.
An absolute URI also works in Amaya.

But not the "absolute-path reference". (A relative reference beginning 
with a single slash character -- RFC 2396)
In <a> elements Amaya has no difficulties to parse such hrefs.

2. Amaya renders negative margins wrong.

Take a look at this testpage in different browsers:
http://www.ryanbrill.com/floats.htm

This way to create columns is based upon the CSS2 standard, see:
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/visuren.html#floats
"A float can overlap other boxes in the normal flow (e.g., when a normal 
flow box next to a float has negative margins). "

I base most of my layouts on negative margins (works in IE5+ Firefox 
0.7+ Opera 7+ ...).
