CSS - Strict Xhtml, Valid Css, But Messed Up In Ff!
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. Similar TutorialsI 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 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 Is there an equivalent to the target attribute in XHTML strict for anchor tags? I am developing websites using ASP.NET and C# for the code-behind. I just started using css design and I realized after trying to validate my rendered pages that some things in ASP.NET would be VERY difficult to make completely valid. IE: ASP.NET automatically renders this piece of code everytime the page is rendered: Code:
<script language="javascript">
<!--
function __doPostBack(eventTarget, eventArgument) {
var theform;
if (window.navigator.appName.toLowerCase().indexOf("netscape") > -1) {
theform = document.forms["frm"];
}
else {
theform = document.frm;
}
theform.__EVENTTARGET.value = eventTarget.split("$").join(":");
theform.__EVENTARGUMENT.value = eventArgument;
theform.submit();
}
// -->
</script>
That right there is invalid due to the fact that it does not have type="text/javascript" in the <script>. There are many other instances of this that I won't go into detail. In order to fix this you have to override ASP.NET's page rendering methods and do a Regex! thats right, a regex on EACH line of code to replace the line above with valid XHTML. This can become VERY inefficient if you are serving 30+ pages a second. My question is this: at this point is it really worth the performance hit on my web server to make my asp.net sites XHTML compliant? on a side note, I would like to bludgeon the MS designer that wrote these chunks of code into ASP.NET!@!$%#$ thanks! 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 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 quirks 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? 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. Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> Code: #content {
position:absolute;
width: 750px;

I want it appear just like here http://aslanyurek.com/atolye/index.asp but instead, it appears as. http://www.refinethetaste.com/html/ Style I created for the whole right block. PHP Code: /*right block*/ #rblock .notice { width:375px; height:30px; font-size:13px; line-height:30px; color:#f3f2f1; background:#5f5548 url(../images/isaret_2.gif) no-repeat 1% 55%; text-indent:15px; } #rblock .search { width:325px; margin-top:1px; background:#9e0b0e url(../images/icon_arama.gif) 3% 50% no-repeat; padding:5px 5px 5px 45px;} #rblock .search span { color: #FFFFFF; font-size:9px;} #rblock .news { width:375px; border-bottom:1px dotted #CCCCCC;} #rblock h1 { font-size: 14px; color:#716759; background:#ece7d1; text-indent:15px; line-height:25px;} #rblock .news h2 { font-size: 12px; color:#534741;} #rblock .news p { font-size: 10px;} #rblock img#news{ float:left; margin:10px; height: 60px; width: 66px; border:1px solid #b39f87; padding:1px; background:url(../images/load.gif) center no-repeat; } #rblock .clear { clear:both; height:1px; width:1px; overflow:hidden; } Viewing this page in Firefox: http://moneyextra.thehelpgroup.co.uk/compare/creditcards/ProductDetails.php?index=79 - it looks fine, but when you view it in IE 6, it is really messed up Does anyone know whats causing that to happen and how I would fix it Thanks alot I've created a 3 column layout and it works fine. But on some pages including links,banners... the whole of the right column is positioned wrongly. It even works fine in Firefox. Any idea what the problem could be? Any advice would be appreciated. The link by the way is here Thanks, Sunny Patel If i want to use the strict DTD, is there an alternative to the target attribute on the <a> link which you are no longer allowed to use? Is this a strict (or even valid) doctype? Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd"> what should I expect the UA to behave like? |
