CSS - Xhtml Frameset Doctype Need To Validate
I need to validate an xhtml frameset but I dont want borders on my frames and dont want them movable. I'm lost as to how to accomplish this with CSS.
Thanks Dave Similar TutorialsI need layout that looks like and behaves exactly like two column frameset (menu + content) where menu is 200px wide and 100% height, and content is the rest on the right side. It should run cross mayor browsers. 'Menu' part should be DIV with overflow:auto. The problem is that 100% is never a 100% of the content div, instead I get 100% of current view or something. Please take a look of what I have so far (css is in the file internaly): http://janko.joolo.com/me.htm How do I apply margins to the outside of all of my frames? Just the outside, treating my frames together as one page and adding blank space to the outside of that page rather than adding margins to each frame separately. Hello, I am trying to make my webpage, www.jwwebdesign.info, W3 Valid. However, when I insert: Code: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> at the top of the page, and try to vaildate, it does not like my <table height="100%"> What is a CSS alternative I can use so that I can validate my page (height: 100% won't work). Thanks, Jeff I know this may sound a stupid question. However I have been reading about XHTML and CSS for these last few weeks. From what I understand a DocType is there to determine if an XHTML document is well-formed. Therefore from my understanding the DocType should have not be related with CSS. However today I wrote the following peace of code: Code: <html>
<head>
<title>Test</title>
<style>
div > span { color: red; }
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div><p>
<span>hello</span>
</p><span>World!!</span>
</div>
</body>
</html>
On Internet Explorer 7 it did not work since 'Hello World!!' was writen all in black. However on Firefox it worked fine since 'World!!' was correctly displayed in red. Then I added the Strict DocType to the page: Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> ... and it started working on Internet Explorer 7 as well! Now I am glad that it worked on Internet Explorer 7 when using the DocType (Strict). However isn't this wrong? I mean shouldn't this just work without the DocType since it is CSS related and not XHTML? I am very new to all this and I understand that I may be missin something here! However I would be very greatfull if someone could explain me if this behavior from Internet Explorer 7 is correct or not! Thanks and Regards, Sim085 I just realized tonight that CSS I have been using with my XHTML 1.1 documents does NOT work with HTML 4 documents. Is this common? I never knew there was a difference in CSS functionality between doctypes. 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? I'm having a CSS problem. Everythign i desinged worded fine until i included a <!DOCTYPE> I'm using XHTML 1.0 Strict and everything validates fine, as well as the CSS (according to w3c) Alink to the site: The "E" Proposition here is teh CSS code I am Using (the navigation links) Code: .Nav1 a:hover{color: #666666;}
.Nav1Td{border-right: 1px solid #999999;background-color: #000000;}
.Nav1{padding: 2px 0 10px 0px;font-family: MS Tahoma, Arial;}
.Nav1 .line{border-top: solid 1px #000000;margin: 5px 0 5px 0;}
.Nav1>.line{margin: 6px 0 4px 0;}
.Nav1 h4{margin: 4px 0px 5px 5px;font-size: 10pt;font-family: MS Tahoma, Arial;}

.Nav1 h3{margin: 4px 0px 5px 5px;font-size: 8pt;font-family: MS Tahoma, Arial;}
.Nav1>h3{margin: 8px 0px 4px 5px;}
.Nav1 ul{list-style: none;margin: 0;padding: 0;}

might i have made a careless error that CSS validator is not picking up on?? If I take out the doctype tag, everything works fine. But of course, i dont want to do that...heh any help would be greatly appreciated... hi, I am trying to do DIV 100% height to match the browser height. as I read only way is to make body tag set to 100% and then whatevers is defined 100% within body will readjust at 100% height. problem i found, it doesnt work with any Doctype I set for the page, not xmlns transitional, strict, 4.01 strict , transitional, you name it. BUT as soon as I remove Doctype and start page with just <html> tage this CSS works. I ve tried to link css and embed, same results. W3C validation checks out with no errors. hers code. Code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

if someone has an idea what doctype would work or if theres another problem with this. I've just installed a HTML Doctype declaration after having issues making my webpage work on Firefox and IE. After installing the declaration, the colour of my top nav-bar refuses to change... it stays white, and the text, unreadable. This happens on IE and Opera, but works fine with Firefox. I've also been recieving complaints that my page is non-functioning with the font appearing "way too small". If anyone can give me any ideas, and also point out a simple explanation of the difference between the box model and the W3 layout model, I'd be grateful... Thanks for the advice people gave me last time; I at least managed to get the page working with Firefox... Link to page Hello, this is an ego crasher, just when I was getting to master CSS, I hit botton with html / CSS. I wanted to add stuff on this page, but the way frontpage 2006 sees hebrew, and spanish is just wrong. This page happens to be spanish with hebrew, the letters go weird. I have work in many spanish / hebrew sites, and tried without success to see why my hebrew goes wild, then, the spanish does the same. I tried to put the doctype, and the title lowers it self? then the charset, not matter what lenguages I stipulate, including do not work <meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="es"> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252"> Which worked for me in other sites! Below is my link I am having hell with. If any one can share light in to the problem. PLEASE!!! (URL address blocked: See forum rules) Thanks, Karl Ok, some trouble with Fire Fox and IE. I am creating a site for Ernies Inn and for right now I am hosting it here until I am done and the owner is willing to have it. http://ernies.bombinaid.com Problems IE: The main box areas in each page keeps going over the menu! FireFox: In the menu page it seems every time the mouse goes over a h3 tag it has a mouse over effect. I am using <a name="something"> for the page jumping. Here is the css code: Code: body {background-color: black}

Can someone help me out here? Hi, I made an html document, and a css file, works allright, but when i delete the doctype declaration, it's not working correctly anymore -> the body width is gone, and my content is stretched, losing my left and right margins. Code: body {
font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif;
color: #666666;
width: 710px;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
font-size: 0.9em;
margin-bottom: 3em;
The problem is, that i will use this css file for an xml file, transformed by xslt, and the resulting html file doesn't have a doctype specification, that means i can't seem to add a doc spec and still keep my xslt file valid. any suggestions to solve this problem..? thanks a lot, jarra I have a page that will not load external CSS. Tested in Firefox and Opera. If I remove the doctype then the CSS loads and affects the page. This is the HTML: Code: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC '-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN' 'http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd'> <html xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml' xml:lang='en' lang='en'> <head> <title>Insert Notes</title> <meta http-equiv='content-type' content='text/html; charset=utf-8' /> <meta http-equiv='cache-control' content='no-cache' /> <meta http-equiv='pragma' content='no-cache' /> <meta http-equiv='expires' content='0' /> <link rel='stylesheet' type='text/css' href='/test.css' /> </head><body> <h1>Beer</h1> <p>test</p> </body></html> And this is the CSS: Code:
body{ background-color: gray;}
p { color: blue; }
h1{ color: white; }
I'm using IE7 (becuase my company demands it) and I have the following code Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" /> <title></title> <body> <form> <input name='reason' type='text' size='75' value='' style='border:none;'/> </form> </body> </html> and it shows a border in my input even though there's a 'border:none;' but when I remove the Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> The border dissapears! Is there a different doctype that I'm supposed to be using here? Standards newbie here. I've used CSS plenty before, but always in combination with awful inelegant table madness. I'm trying to do right by the W3C this time. Except that the doctype declaration is out to kill me. I've written code that clearly isn't HTML 3.2 (as the current doctype declaration says), but if I bump up the doctype declaration to something standards-happy, like, say, 4, the document instantly goes haywire, and no amount of fiddling with my EditCSS plugin in Firefox will fix it. Except for the whole non-validating thing, this wouldn't be a problem, except that IE is having box-model problems. When I give my main div (#blogmain) the right width (837 px), IE stacks the two floated divs inside it, instead of putting them next to each other. You may notice the futile box model hack I tried to throw at it, but I guess that really doesn't work in IE 6.0. Please, someone, help me fix my doctype. Here's the style sheet, for you CSS wizards that don't even need to look at the thing to detect the problem: Code: <style type="text/css">
body { margin: 0; padding: 0; font-size: 75%; background-color: #2E3E4C; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans serif; font-size: 1em; }
div { voice-family: "\"}\""; voice-family: inherit; }
* html #content { width: 839; w\idth: 837; }
#blogmain { position: absolute; left: 0; padding: 0; width: 837; background-color: #83776E; border: 1px solid #000000; }
#content { float: left; width: 678; background-color: #FFF}
#content h3 { margin: 0; font-size: .7em; text-align: center; }
#content h1 { margin: 0; }
#content h2 { margin: 10 5 5 10; }
div.entry { border: 1px solid #83776E; width: 658; margin: 10; }
.entry h1 { font-size: .9em; padding: 2px; border-bottom: 1px solid #83776E; background-color: #E0DDDB; }
.entry p { margin: 0; padding: 5; font-size: .7em; line-height: 1.5em; }
div.entrybottom { border-top: 1px solid #83776E; color: #FFF; background-color: #83776E; }
#sidebar { float: left; padding: 0; margin: 0; width: 159; background-color: #83776E; }
#entries { margin: 0; font-size: .6em; padding: 5; color: #FFF; }
#entries p { margin: 10; }
</style>
Here's the page again. And here's what it looks like with a 4.01 doctype declaration. (Also, bonus points for anyone who can tell me why Firefox adds an extra 1px line at the bottom my second .entrybottom div!) I am trying to develope http://www.hotlinkforums.com/, but why does the doctype that is generated by the forums screwup my styles. When I take it out of my homepage it makes my stylesheet work correctly, but when I use it it doesn't. Does it matter if I don't use the doctype? Will that screw up search engine ranking or anything? Also what the heck is all of this in my homepage?: <html dir="ltr" lang="en"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Pragma" content="no-cache" /> <meta http-equiv="Expires" content="-1" /> <meta http-equiv="Cache-Control" content="no-cache" /> <title>HotLink Forums - powered by vBulletin</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" /> <meta name="generator" content="vBulletin 3.0.0 Release Candidate 3" /> <meta name="keywords" content="vbulletin,forum,discussion,bulletin board,hotlink,hosting,linux,vb,domains,reseller,affordable,cheap" /> <meta name="description" content="Message Boards for HotLink Hosting" /> Does the direction and lagnuage statements in the html tag matter towards anythign important? What do all these weird meta tags such as pragma, expires, cache-control, generator do and do I need them there? Do the meta tags below the title need to be below the title because I know I can put them above it with the others. Also, why is there a blank white space at the top of the forums? And why does the background to my td at the bottom not work? I am building a site using CSS for the layout instead of tables and I have run into kind of a brick wall on the very last layout issue. Before I explain the issue I want to link you to the current version of the page IE Doctype Doctype Style IE NoDoctype NoDoctype Style The problem I am running into is related to the way Firefox and IE handle margins and padding for a div container. Firefox takes the width (in this case for the #content_body_left div) of the div and adds the margins and padding to achieve the total width of the item. In IE, the margins and padding are built into the defined width. That results in a horizontal alignment problem. You can correct that behaviour in IE by defining a valid doctype at the start of the document. Doing that results in my div columns no longer stretching 100% vertically to meet the limit of the container. Defining the doctype doesnt screw things up in Firefox, just IE. Any hacks or suggestions for fixing this? First, the site is, http://www.silver-dawn.net Now, my problem is that when I do not have an XHTML 1.0 Transitional doctype in, the page stretches perfectly to the bottom, as it should. But when I add this: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> It doesn't stretch the way it should. Now, I'm assuming there's something messed up with my CSS, but I'm still new at it, so I can't figure out what is causing this. Here is my CSS: Code:

If anyone can help me with this problem, I would greatly appreciate it. I wanted to validate my site and started running the validator. SO i got one doctype and placed in my page(<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">) But now, some of my css "tags" are not working. For and example: Code:
#contact {
border:1px solid #666;
background:#FDF5E6;
width:500px;
margin-left:200px;
margin-top:20px;
padding:20px;
padding-top:5px;
font-size:15;
text-align:left;
}
The border, padding, width, background work. But font-size isnt working. Any ideas? |
