Any decent CSS forums?

[BenOne©]

Hi all,

Are there any CSS forums that get more traffic and deal with more advanced
issues that this news group?

I guess he's tired of the daily "how do I do align='center' in CSS"
questions here...

Yeah, that was pretty much my reaction. I was so speechless that I
couldn't even reply -- until now.

Not at all.

I posted "Layout and colour problems" on the 16th of June and have had
no responses. Thought maybe it is too complicated for the regulars here
so wondered if there are other forums where I should post my question.

Thanks for any help.

Oh that. I missed that one. The div only contains floated elements, so the
actual div won't go all the way down. See how I altered it here...

....
<div id=boxfoot>
<a class=main href="product00 01.html">info</a>
<a class=main href="buy.html" >buy</a>
</div>
</div>
</center>
<div style="clear: both; width: 100%">&nbsp;</div>
</div>
....

Maybe noone is responding because you aren't asking anything that hasn't
come up numerous times before. Could be you'll find the answer yourself
in a few minutes of searching the google newsgroup archives.

Just a thought.

If that made you ask a provocative question that effectively meant "you
are too stupid for me", then I think it is better to both sides if you
don't attend this group, at least until you have learned some minimal
decency in your manners. Get back the money you paid for this helpdesk.

I might have sent this advice by E-mail only if you had not forged your
address.

I don't have WWW access from the place I posted the original question.

If it was something posted many times in the past, and no-one could be
bothered to reply with the actual answer, I would have appreciated it if
someone had said "check google", but as they didn't even do that, the
regulars make it look like they don't know the answer.

You said "maybe no-one is responding...". Does that mean you don't know
if it's come up numerous times before?

Please explain what is so provocative about:
"Are there any CSS forums that get more traffic and deal with more
advanced issues that this news group?"

I've also posted other questions in the past and received few replies.
Other groups I frequent are not shy about replying to topics that get
discussed a lot. The only reason for the lack of replies that I could
come up with was that the members don't know the answers.

In no way did I suggest that this group does not deal with advanced
issues. I made no suggestion that people here are stupid.

Why are you so confrontational ? Usenet should be a place where people
enjoy sharing their knowledge.

You just seem to want to criticise.

And you talk about manners.

I'd say it's the sort of thing worth discussing in the group, so other
newbies can learn...

Thanks heaps Neal. That's a great suggestion.

Now if only there was a way to get the black to stretch right to the
bottom of the viewport if the page is less than one screen high... I
think I'm pushing my luck a bit there though.

Thanks again.

The tone, I also took that remark as "you are too stupid for me".

As Jukka said, this isn't a helpdesk, it's a discussion group. If you
don't get any replies then you've asked a question that failed to
interest the members.

If you have Usenet but not WWW access (unlikely though that seems),
what good would it have done to tell you to check google?

Contrariwise, if you can check google, why didn't you?

He did explain: Your question implies "this forum is too slow and
stupid for me."

This is a little clever... have not tested.

Wrap your content in a div, set height: 100%. Set a background image
(white on left, the rest black) for that div which is 1px high and say
2000px wide. (Wider than you need it to be.) Set it to repeat-y.
