Buffistas Building a Better Board ++
Do you have problems, concerns, or recommendations about the technical side of the Phoenix? Air them here. Compliments also welcome.
There's no need to add default styling to your individual CSS. It's already in buffista.css.
However, I've viewed it logged in and out in six browsers on two OSes, and I can't duplicate the issue, so if someone who knows how to use the debugger on their browser would pipe up, that'd be great. Then I can see what your browser is applying.
% testing testing...
It looks to be rendering correctly to me, in Firefox 13.0.1 on Windows 7. You have blockquote set to be spoilerfonting at the moment for debug?
<p>
<blockquote> testing testing...</blockquote>
</p></div>
</div>
That's how the source looks, on the page, it is grey, which is my spoilerfont setting?
eta: Okay, no it's not the exact same setting as my spoilerfont, it is separately designated in my user css.
I made a new quickedit. % gives you the
t blockquote
tag. ANd > operates like before, and gives you the
t cite
tag. And for giggles, I guess ] gives you
t dfn.
So:
% > <blockquote>
<dfn>
<cite>
If you can debug down into each of those and see what's influencing the final format it would be great.
Okay, in firebug, for the blockquote line I've got:
blockquote {
color: #CCCCFF;
}
84.css (line 5)
cite, blockquote {
font-family: monospace;
}
buffista.css (line 190)
cite, dfn, blockquote, .quote {
display: block;
font-style: normal;
margin: 2px 4em;
}
buffista.css (line 185)
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
buffista.css (line 1)
Inherited fromdiv.postcontent
.postcontent {
line-height: normal;
}
buffista.css (line 227)
Inherited fromdiv#page
#page {
text-align: left;
}
buffista.css (line 21)
Inherited frombody
body {
color: #000000;
font-family: verdana,tahoma,arial,sans-serif;
text-align: center;
}
buffista.css (line 7)
color: #000000;
font-family: verdana,tahoma,arial,sans-serif;
text-align: center;
}
Lemme see if that formatted right and I'll grab the relevant text from the <dfn> and <cite>.
So the only thing it's getting from my user84.css is the color, the font size displays the same as cite. <dfn> is slightly larger.
<dfn> is pulling from line 185 in the board css, nothing from mine, which is correct.
cite, dfn, blockquote, .quote {
display: block;
font-style: normal;
margin: 2px 4em;
}
buffista.css (line 185)
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
buffista.css (line 1)
The rest of the inheritances are the same as for blockquote.
For <cite> I have:
cite, blockquote {
font-family: monospace;
}
buffista.css (line 190)
cite, dfn, blockquote, .quote {
display: block;
font-style: normal;
margin: 2px 4em;
}
buffista.css (line 185)
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
buffista.css (line 1)
Is that what you're after? But I think mine is showing up correctly, so it may be unhelpful.
What about % what does that get you?

Shows the same as blockquote. Goes my css line 5, then buffista.css line 190 to get the font-family monospace, then buffista.css line 185 to get the display block, font-style normal, and margin. Lastly buffistas.css line 1, where it gets padding 0, but the margin 0 is overridden.
