Re: [WSG] Mac Tools Kit for Web Standards Developer
I would second that call on DWMX 2004, I have tried pretty much everything and nothing beats Dreamweaver in code view. Cheers, John. Kevin Futter wrote: I use Dreamweaver MX2004 for site development and SubethaEdit for nuts and bolts text editing. I know some people are leery of DW because they see it as purely a WYSIWYG solution, but its code editing tools are robust and its site management tools can't be matched by any text-editor. And it makes a decent fist of producing compliant code. I almost never switch it to visual layout mode these days. SubethaEdit is impressive, especially given that it's free, and it comes with a bunch of preset 'pretty print' modules for code colouring in a number of syntaxes. By the way Kristof, I use Transmit too, but unlike you I think it sucks, and is poor in comparison to things like WS_FTP on Windows.

Re: [WSG] Are empty divs okay?
Hi Shane,
Well, I don't know if it is okay but I've done it on more than one occasion.
I have noticed that Internet explorer puts a nasty margin on empty divs,
that might be something to watch out for.

I am working on my second CSS XHTML site.
Home page thus far: http://sonze.com/lange/index.html
CSS for the page: http://sonze.com/lange/css/master.css
I have some empty div tags to be able to make a graphic a background
image since this presentation is common to all pages.
For example in my html:
div id=header3/div
My CSS for header3 is as follows:
#header3
{
position: relative;
width: 836px;
height: 37px;
margin: 0 auto;
padding: 0px;
background: #2A331F url(../img/header3.gif) no-repeat;
}
Since I this is only my second site using Web Standards, I'm unsure if
leaving a div tag empty is okay or not. Or is there another method I
should be using?
Thank you very much,
Shane Helm

Re: [WSG] css validation error
Maybe you could try not using the font shorthand to get it to validate,
try it as font-family etc. Could it be that there is something missing
from that rule? Certainly one I have had problem with before.

Thanks for pointing that out John - serves me right for not cleaning out
disused styles.
However, I'm still getting the same error.

Hi Cameron,
You have this
.paymate {
position: relative:
top: 20px;
right: 10px;
}
the position:relative needs a semi colon and you should be on your way
