HTML - Xhtml Strict Question
So many of you have tried to help me with my website http://webtvdeluxe.com/home.php . Someone was kind enough to make a css version of it with no tables. However, I couldn't get the newsboard to work with it because of the difference in coding. So I started from square one and decided to try xhtml because it is not much different from html and I'm trying to get my webpage xhtml strict validated.
Have one problem I can't figure out. If you look at my page, some of the images are broken away from the tables. In transitional mode, my page looks fine. But in strict mode it does that. I know you can't use the align attribute in strict so that why I attempted to make the td and table values in CSS instead. I put every value I could think of and none of them are working. Anyone know how to fix this? I know that I have been a pain because I've been asking a lot of questions. I really do appreciate all the help that you all have been giving me. It's probably something silly but I guess I'm too frustrated to figure out what it is. Similar TutorialsI'm currently in the process of updating my site from very old html to xhtml 1.0 strict standards. I've bought myself a good book and looked quite a bit on the web, but unfortunately I haven't found the answer to this question: With the extinction of frames, how do I create a 'navigation bar' at the top of my pages without putting the same code into each document and having to update a multitude of files each time I change the location of one document being referenced by the navigation controls? I'm using external CSS files for my presentation control. Currently, I am using a single xhtml 1.0 frameset file to set-up the frames, then using xhtml 1.0 strict for the main files. The navigation file, however, is using xhtml 1.0 transitional simply because I don't know how to mimic the "target" attribute in the <a> element to target the main frame. I know I can use the 'onclick' and 'onkeypress' event activators in the <a> element to open a new window [window.open(this.href); return false;], but how can I apply that to target a frame and not a window? Of course, that may become a moot point if there's a way to get rid of the frames altogether... Douglas --- http://www.SilverThumbStudios.com/xhtml I'm sure people will think this has been answered a million times before, but unless I'm completely blind, I've not seen a single piece of XHTML that does this. This is a screen layout that I have to create under XHTML strict specification: Code: <window, not scrolling> <site header: must always show at the top of window, fixed pixel height, not scrolling /> <container: not scrolling, fills the window height> <left sidebar: must always show on the left, fixed pixel width, full height, not scrolling /> <container P: not scrolling, variable size, fills available width and height > <page header: must always show at at the top of container P, fixed height, not scrolling /> <page content: the only scrolling area, variable size, fills available width and height in container P /> <page footer: must always show at at the bottom of containerP, fixed height, not scrolling /> </container P> <right sidebar: must always show on the right, fixed pixel width, full height, not scrolling /> </container> <site footer: must always show at at the bottom of window, fixed pixel height, not scrolling /> </window> any ideas? I don't want to use script, just css. Width seems no problem but height is a heck of a problem. The only way I've managed it so far is using a table layout which works for Safari but not in IE8 or Mozilla. I have a Web site whose pages are XHTML 1.0 Strict, and the vast majority of them are valid pages, according to the W3C validation page. Some of the pages are not valid, however, as I use some items such as target="_blank" and ol start="26" and items like that. Would any problems develop with indexing (or with anything else) if I decided to make the invalid pages transitional and keep the rest strict? Is it ok to have a mix of XHTML 1.0 Strict and XHTML 1.0 Transitional on a single site? Hi there, what should I do to get validated the following error? I have to validate it with XHTML 1.0 Strict. Please someone help me, thanks so much. Code: Line 39, Column 32: character "&" is the first character of a delimiter but occurred as data . onsubmit="return validateForm() & & validateMessage();"> This message may appear in several cases: * You tried to include the "<" character in your page: you should escape it as "<" * You used an unescaped ampersand "&": this may be valid in some contexts, but it is recommended to use "&", which is always safe. * Another possibility is that you forgot to close quotes in a previous tag. I am searching for freeware PHP shopping carts uses div XHTML 1.0 strict. Unfortunately i found only Quick.Cart: http://opensolution.org/?p=Quick.Cart I found more like Zen-Cart, CubeCart but this carts use XHTML 1.0 transitional and use to much table's. Please help and give some shopping carts whit XHTML 1.0, 1.1 but without tables as a basic construct. <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"

Thanks inadvance. I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place. I'm writing a news script in PHP and I want to make 'skin-ability' to be one of its best features. Yet, I'm also aiming for strict xhtml complaint code. The news script will act as a 'plug-in' within a page; not a separate entity. For skinning purposes, I need to create an external css file under my skins directory. The issue is when the script is called, it will pull the css file & embed it somewhere in the <body> tag (wherever the webmaster wants to display news). I know a link tag inside the body is not strict xhtml. Also, I cannot embed styles within each tag. This will turn people away from designing new skins. I want the skinning process to be almost seamless; I'm stuck dealing with validation errors or having no styles. Not sure how to get around this. Anyone have an idea? Which one is better? XHTML STRICT 1.0 or XHTML 1.1 I am combining 2 sets of code for my new website. I am combining my nold stuff with a piece of my new website. One piece is written in xhtml doctype traditional and the other is in xhtml strict. naturally I either lose the old part or the new parts. Is there a way to easily convert the traditional to strict, so the whole darn thing works right? Hello everyone! I've scoured around for a bit looking for an answer to a stupid question without success, so I'll pose it here. Currently I am working on a bit of Java code that prints out a document in XHTML 1.0 Strict Transitional. The document displays a formatted list of stock information. What I want is an <option> drop down list with the days of the week, and upon clicking on one of those days, the page automatically refreshes to show the stocks for that day. So very simple, I need for the page to change to a different .html file in the same directory onmouseup, I believe the action is. Here is my .java code, for those interested: Code: import java.util.*;
import java.lang.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.text.DecimalFormat;
public class Portfolio
{
public static ArrayList<String> stocks = new ArrayList<String>();
public static DecimalFormat fmt = new DecimalFormat("0.##");
public static int tot = 0;
public Portfolio(){}
public static void main(String[]args) throws IOException
{
stocks.add("APPL 5.67 3");
stocks.add("DFG 54.87 78");
stocks.add("DGSF 93.62 5");
printPortfolio(stocks);
}
public static void printPortfolio(ArrayList<String> strar) throws IOException
{
String stockName = new String();
double stockVal = 0.0;
int numShares = 0;
StringTokenizer st;
stocks = strar;
PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter("Portfolio.html");
out.println("<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN");
out.println("http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd\">");
out.println("<html xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml\">");
out.println("<head>");
out.println("<title>User's JSMS Stock Portfolio</title>");
out.println("</head>");
out.println("<body>");
out.println("<img border=\"0\" src=\"ball16.gif\" width=\"29\" height=\"28\" alt=\"Ball\">");
out.println("<pre>");
out.println("STOCK NAME PRICE SHARES OWNED TOTAL");
out.println("---------- ----- ------------ -----</br>");
for(String str : stocks)
{
st = new StringTokenizer(str);
stockName = st.nextToken();
stockVal = Double.parseDouble(st.nextToken());
numShares = Integer.parseInt(st.nextToken());
if(numShares > 0)
{
String SN = new String();
int nShares = 0;
double price = 0;
st = new StringTokenizer(str);
SN = st.nextToken();
int numS = 25 - SN.length();
out.print(SN);
//inserts # of spaces after data based upon data string length
while(numS > 0)
{
out.print(" ");
numS--;
}
price = Double.parseDouble(st.nextToken());
out.print("$" + price);
double tumS = 18.0 - (Double.toString(price).length());
//inserts # of spaces after data based upon data string length
while(tumS > 0)
{
out.print(" ");
tumS--;
}
nShares = Integer.parseInt(st.nextToken());
out.print(nShares);
numS = 19 - (Integer.toString(nShares).length());
//inserts # of spaces after data based upon data string length
while(numS > 0)
{
out.print(" ");
numS--;
}
out.println("$" + fmt.format(nShares*price) + "</br>");
tot += Double.parseDouble(fmt.format(nShares*price));
}
}
out.println("--------------------------------------------------------------------");
out.println("Stock Portfolio Net Worth : " + "$" + fmt.format(tot) + "</br>");
out.println("</pre>");
out.println("<p>");
out.println("Please Choose a Day:");
out.println("<br /><br />");
out.println("<select name=\"day\">");
out.println("<option selected=\"selected\">Monday</option>");
out.println("<option>Tuesday</option>");
out.println("<option>Wednesday</option>");
out.println("</select>");
out.println("</p>");
out.println("</body>");
out.println("</html>");
out.close();
}
}
At the bottom you can see a simple option list. This is the one that I want to be the day-chooser. In many of the places I've looked it talks about passing the value of the choice to a server. This is not my intention. I am thinking, possibly stupidly, that I can store the value of the choice in a variable and then in javascript have the page refreshed to the corresponding .html file in the directory. If this is the case, example code would be very much appreciated haha. Thank you! I get this error with this code: Attribute "allowtransparency" must be declared for element type "iframe". Code is: <iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http://www.vibrantscent.com/" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="height: 62px; width:100%" allowtransparency="true"></iframe> Question does anyone know what the correct code would be? Thanks Hello Everyone I am just laying hands on conversion of a PSD file to XHTML/CSS.Can I achieve this without using any of the paid softwares and if so what are they? Is there a complete lucid tutorial for the same? (PSD to XHTML conversion) Thanks Hello - this may be a really quick question as I am newer to xhtml. Here's my question: On the following page, when I try to validate my code, I'm getting 2 errors - first - "there is no attribute "background-image" for the following code: <p><table background-image="SMwhite_flower.jpg" id="flower" alt="picture of a white flower"> For the above code, I also get the error, "there is no attribute "alt". But, when I remove "alt", I get an error that it's missing. Here's my doctype - maybe that's the problem? <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> I'm wondering if, using xhtml, I would have to put the table background image in my stylesheet? Any and all help is greatly appreciated If you need to see more of the code or the whole page, please let me know. Thanks! hey guys, i'm faily new to html, i only have one semester of html so far. i am doing my final project for my html class and i was wondering if anyone could help me out with this. the spaces underneath my images in my table... they weren't there before i made the page xhtml complaint, but as soon as i added the doctype in, they popped up, can anyone help me fix this? I checked over all the tags, and everything seems to be closed off properly. thanks a lot. Hi there, I am currently working on a XHTML and HTML computer assignment. The problem I have is I ve written the codes on notepad saved it, and when I refresh on Browser view there is no change. I am sure that the codes are right and im sure i am refreshing it from the right view. Any suggestions?! Thank you! Hello all, Just wondering how I can implement Javascript in my Blog template? 1.) Is it possible with XHTML? 2.) There is a source file as well, will I need to host that, too? 3.) Or is there a way to avoid Javascript for what I am doing: I am making a javascript (Spry Menu Bar) with Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 since I have no experience with JS. Is there a way to make a Spry Menu Bar without JS? (possible HTML or XHTML (that Blogger can support)? EX: Code: Home | Link | Link2
-sub--sub -sub4
--sub -sub5
-sub2 -sub6
-sub3
Thanks in advance, take care all! Had the w3c recommendations ever demanded capitalized tags? XTHML or HTML? hi im a newbie in this forum and i would like to know 2 things can someone explain what is the different between this 2 code: this code normally appear on the top or the first line on html code ( before <html> tag ) THIS: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" > AND: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> what is the advantage or disadvantage between both. will it make any different for users or search engine? thanks Hi, I have checked my website in w3c validator. It shows 111 errors but same kind of errors repeated. My website is http://www.neutralenglish.com Error link of my site is http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=ww...ralenglish.com Give some tips and suggestion and steps or corrections to get rid of those errors.
