CSS - Standards Compliant, Strict Xhtml Browser Support
Hi-
I need to know if IE 5, IE 6 or IE7 are considered standards-compliant and do any of them support fully CS2 and strict standards? Thanks in advance- S Similar Tutorialsquirks mode is what i'm using, but now im thinking that in order to support all browsers i need to jump to strict. now im really in trouble. is strict right for me? xhtml or html? my site works perfectly in firefox because that is what i have been testing it in, but it works horribly in IE. so, will switching to strict give me the best compatibility? Hi, I've created a fixed width Div/CSS design for my forum, and while Firefox can handle excessively wide user-posted images, IE handles it badly and stretches the div that the image is in, breaking the layout. An example is he http://forums.hiveworldterra.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=496 (currently with my CSS work around - not pretty) What I would like is a non-Javascript, CSS-based method (or very minimal that gives acceptable results when JS is off) of making the containing Div of the image scroll horizontally when the image is over 590px wide, but not show a vertical scroll bar and not show any scroll bars if the image is under 590px. Is that even possible? thanks for any suggestions IBBoard Hi, I'm working on my first standards compliant site, so I'm a bit of a novice with the CSS required. You can view a test page I have set up at: 67.207.72.2/test_styles.htm (forum rules won't let me include this as a url) The css file for this page is at: 67.207.72.2/css/test_styles.css My issue is that the right column stops short- I'd like the background color to continue down the length of the page. To try to do this, I set the wrapping div on this section (#main_content) of the page with the appropriate background-color. IE displays the page the way I want it to appear, but FF, Safari, and Chrome all do not. I know this means I'm doing it wrong, but I don't know what to change. I've also tried using an image for a background for the #main_content div, and to set a height: 100% property for the column, but neither of those worked. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks for your time. Hey people, Just want to know how i would make the equivalent alignment of an img to absmiddle. If i don't have absmiddle it doesn't display properly. As well as that, if the align tag with "left" as the value is missing, then text doesn't wrap around the image. How do i fix that? Also, while i'm here, i may as well ask about an equivalent to hspace as well. One of my images has hspace 6, and if i take it away, it displays incorrectly. Why do they make these things so hard? haha thanks people. I usually build in XHTML Traditional, and modify via CSS... but i want to learn how to build in XHTML strict.. and practice i notice is putting data in ul lists... which when the css is taken off, gives quite a nice structured layout of text and such... problem is, i dont know how to do it to where the "dot" doesnt show up... anyhelp would be great. thanks So my page is valid strict xhtml 1.0, and valid css 2, yet it looks so messed up in FF. I can't figure out why. http://www.drowninginmytears.org/index.php It looks perfect in IE, but totally messed up in FF Can anyone help? Thanks. Is there an equivalent to the target attribute in XHTML strict for anchor tags? I have a web site using XHTML 1.0 Strict. The main body of the web pages is absolutely positioned 225px from the left, 100px from the top and is 750px wide. There is a banner and menu at the top and then another menu with links to the left. They are also absolutely positioned as well. I am using IE 6.0 as the main web browser since this is a corporate environment. The problem that I am having is that when I select text in the main body it either selects everything from the top down to the cursor or from the cursor to the end. I have troubleshot this and narrowed it down to the absolute positioning. It works fine in IE 7 with the absolute positioning. Does anyone know why this is happening and is there a work around for this? Thank you.

I've been making ok progress with CSS (thanks to your help ) but have come up with a problem when wanting to embed a flash movie into my webpage. How do i do it using CSS? the follwing Html code works fine but fails upon validation. Code:
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0" width="300" height="300>
<param name="movie" value="flash/home.swf">
<param name="quality" value="high"><param name="BGCOLOR" value="#A1D7FD">
<embed src="fighter.swf" width="250" height="250" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" bgcolor="#A1D7FD"></embed></object>
Any help is appreciated. Also - is it a bad idea including small intro flash movies for webpages? any help is appreciated I have a search box/button I want to keep on a single line in a tool bar on my page in strict XHTML/CSS. The <form> tag produces a line break beforehand. In old HTML I could put the <form> tag outside of the table row or data tags, but XHTML does not allow that (bad nesting). I found in devshed here to use style="display:inline;" which works! But the page does not validate as strict XHTML/CSS (using validator.w3.org). <table><tr><td> <!-- simplified to illustrate!! --> <form method="get" action="..." style="display:inline;"> <input type="text" name="q" size="10" maxlength="255" value="" /> <input type="submit" name="sa" value="go" /> </form> </td></tr></table> The Error and reason given is below. It seems that you can not have a block-level element (<input>) within in inline-level element (<form>). *** document type does not allow element "input" here; missing one of "p", "h1", "h2", "h3", "h4", "h5", "h6", "div", "pre", "address", "fieldset", "ins", "del" start-tag. The mentioned element is not allowed to appear in the context in which you've placed it; the other mentioned elements are the only ones that are both allowed there and can contain the element mentioned. This might mean that you need a containing element, or possibly that you've forgotten to close a previous element. One possible cause for this message is that you have attempted to put a block-level element (such as "<p>" or "<table>") inside an inline element (such as "<a>", "<span>", or "<font>"). *** Does anyone know how to code this to not have the linebreak and still maintain strict XHTML/CSS code? I viewed several examples of use of CSS filters like blur wave mask etc with various browsers but none reflected the changes, how come ? This is frusteratung me so much... yet again I'm back because IE does not respond properly. Here is the page: tri-m.com/index_jan_newFproduct.html Please don't tell me I should validate first because I know validating is not the problem here and I will be validating after I fix this. The problem is in the Join the Mailing List section. The image behind the form field moves when you restore down from being maximized and you resize the page up and down. In IE the image moves but in FF the image is static. The solution is probally quite simple but I'm so flustered right now that I'm not able to come up with the solution. If someone could help me that would be wonderful and greatly apperciated. - Jacenta I am working on a header for a site and am having trouble with cross-browser support for one element. I have kept all of the CSS in the html page for testing purposes. The problem I'm having is that in FF and IE6, I am having difficulty getting the #menuBar, .filmstripTop, #menuChoices, and .filmstripBottom elements to align on top of each other, despite margins, padding, etc. set to 0. (I have set the background of #menuBar to yellow so you can see what I think is the offending element.) In FF and IE6, I see the yellow running across the screen but in different places. In IE running under Windows Vista, everything appears aligned as intended. (The menu text is just a placeholder for the navbar I will do once the other formatting is fixed.) I'm sure this must be an easy fix and something I've overlooked, but I have been at this for hours and can't seem to figure out how to make this work. Suggestions?

Hey Everyone, I am having trouble getting firefox to behave with a css3 button I have. It's mainly the linking of it but also the style gets out of whack in FireFox. It works perfect in chrome and in safari. Here is the link http://pt11.*******com/index2.php?x=videos.html I've got the layout I want working in IE. I'd like to know how to make it work in all browsers. Mozilla seems to ignore the overflow setting for the docBody class. I'll happily ditch the table if someone can tell me a better way to achieve the result I want. Here's the code Code:

Hi! How do I open a link in a new window in XHTML strict? (knowing that target="_blank" forbidden). Thank you I'm working on a little project here, trying to design a table-less page using XHTML and style sheets. The first version worked only in IE, Mozilla and Opera didn't display them the way I wanted to. So I rebuilt the stylesheet from scratch with cross-browser compatibility in mind and it sort of works in all three browsers, except for one little bit: http://gosh.ex.ac.uk/~cs01kb/lg_sample/ Stylesheet: http://gosh.ex.ac.uk/~cs01kb/lg_sample/css/main.css IE6 and Opera 7 correctly display the little bar at the bottom with all the links, but Mozilla Firefox 0.8 doesn't - it displays it under the two main content boxes. I'm just out of ideas on how to try and make it work, it should be so simple. Any help on how to get around it would be appreciated. P.S.: If you're using any other browser out there (especially on a Mac) just a quick note or a screenie of what the page looks like would be nice... thanks! I'm wondering if duplicate / overriding directives are allowed in the CSS Spec. Here's an example: Code: <div style="background-color: black; background-color: white"> will the second call to background-color override the first and be drawn as white? it may sound stupid, but i'm writing a PHP class that outputs CSS and I don't want to have to do pattern matching to make sure that the user inputted tag isn't already set. I want to just append it. Curious, what is regarded as the standard CSS markup method? Displaying your attrbutes horizontally: #wrapper{selector:attribute; selector:attribute; selector:attribute; selector:attribute;} Or Vertically: #wrapper{ selector:attribute; selector:attribute; selector:attribute; } Personally, horizontal seems the best. I like it because I can see the #id's and .classes all together and can follow the structure abit better. Makes it easier for me to find a certain stlye element. The argument someone presented in favor of vertical display is you won't miss a selector:attribute and the horizontal display it is hard to see the selectors:attributes. My counter arguement, in my head, was I can glance at a set of selectors:attributes and can easily identify what is / isn't there. I think I've read and written so much css that I can quickly identify pattens for certain elements and can spot rather quickly what is missing, if that is the problem, sometimes there is a large issue at hand. Eitherway, I'm in support of the horizontal display. Especially when there is a vertical style sheet that is 1152 lines long and the find option in dreamweaver is my best way of locating the style element. Thoughts on the matter? |
