Re: [WSG] Strange empty XHTML element issues in IE FF

 I came across a strange issue last night while converting some XML

yes, there are some problems. I had the same problems creating output
pages inside my main project 'server-daten'. Users can create Html-
pages with sd-elements (sd:table ... etc).
Calling such a page it is transformed with XSL and some informations
from a database. So the database-content can be shown as Html without
using PHP/Perl.


The best bug: Create an empty Html - title in the source.

XSLT creates: title /

FF / Opera - all best.

IE6 shows nothing, but shows the correct code.

Two samples:

http://beispiel.server-daten.de/output-title.html
http://beispiel.server-daten.de/output-title-empty.html


Additional problem: Creating an empty a and adding the link later
with JavaScript. Didn't work, solution:

Add a comment as content of the a.

thanks about such a sequence (or joke?). Ok, I read the same on the

read such a statement 2006 (or 2004).

I think, we should send them a lot of links with pages created

Tables are excellent showing tabular data.

Hi Rebecca,

I do not use VS, but the encoding is separate, independet from the

If you want to create european/english pages with some Unicode-
symbols, UTF-8 is normally the best. You can also create your CSS as 
UTF-8. A pure english-written file is only a little big bigger as the 
Ascii-Version (3 Bytes, the BOM).

Asiatic languages may use GB2312 (Non-Unicode) or UTF-16, which is 
smaller than UTF-8 for these languages. There UTF-8 would need 3 
bytes per character, UTF-16 needs only two bytes.

 It's for a multilanguage site and base language will be English.

Hello Vaska,

I think you are mixing two things which should be separated.

The first problem is the language of the page (defined in the header) 
or the language of a block (defined like div lang='en-us' in a 
german document). Your page is english - so mark it as english.

The second problem is how to create a non-ascii character. There you 
can use a codepage, ISO-8859-6 or something - and then you will have 
problems showing characters which are not in this special codepage. 
Additionally, you may use the hex-code (#x0041; = A), but this is 
also hard: Read a chinese text coded with entities - its not 
possible.

There it's better to use UTF-8 - you will see the characters 
directly.

Additionally, you may use some of the mathematical symbols, dingbats 
(x2701 - x27BE) or the IPA (international phonetic alphabet). These 
with entities - terrible. But you can't define a language - you can 
use all these symbols in any language you can write.

Hello,

I do not have a Mac, but I saw that you don't use UTF-8, your file is 
saved as ASCII.

So convert the file to UTF-8 and test it again.

The problem looks like the security-problem using RegEx with the

It may be that your codepage doesn't support these two characters, so switch to

Hi tee,

my idea was: The IE5/Mac shows UTF-8 wrong - perhaps he will show the 
corresponding character entity (#x ...;) instead. The hope (may be

An example: At

you had marked a wrong character after the word 'Web' (the first

and checking the codepoint says this has to be the character with the

before doing all these later things I would create the source or a

endnote, word [Carol, L] which should be part of the index [Carroll, 
Lewis] and so on).

Later you can create different Xsl-Files to create different Html-

So a single Xml-file holds the content, different Xsl-files are 
layers to produce different outputs. And if you want to test a new 
output you have only to change the Xsl-Transformation, not all the

Re: [WSG] Style part of form field

2005-03-28 Thread Juergen Auer
Hi Sarah,

ehm ... such a specification 

!ELEMENT option (#PCDATA | span)*

would be private - no browser would accept this.

Its possible to use the XHtml1.1-specification (or every other spec) 
and add own additional definitions.

Reading your sentence in your first mail

I cannot seem to find any reference to whether the
 following is possible

you may want something which is part of the standard, not a private 
extension.

And the standard says

!ELEMENT option (#PCDATA)

so no inner element is allowed.

There are two other solutions. First use unicode with special small 
pictures, look at 

http://www.sql-und-xml.de/unicode-database/miscellaneous-symbols.html

All symbols of version 2.1 are shown in standard-browsers.

Second it's possible and valide to create a javascript: When changing 
the value of the select-list, a new picture is shown.

I created a small sample, look at my domain http://www.sql-und-

(I do not want too link directly because this is no official page).

At the end I added a small sample. Changing the value in the list

Mhmm ... FireFox comes with an built-in font and shows Unicode 2.1 
and 3.0, the 'West Syriac Cross' and the East (#x2670 and 2671, both 
3.0) are shown in FireFox correctly. The Microsoft Arial Unicode 
Font, which is part of Office 2000 and higher, but optional (Setup) 
includes all Unicode 2.1 - codepoints. So I see with the IE6 all 2.1 
(but not the West Syriac Cross), with FireFox a little bit more.

My Opera 7.54 shows also all 2.1, same with Netscape 7.2, but it's 
unclear which font is used.

The performance is good - I am running more then 70 processes, all 
browsers at the same time and a lot of other applications. Some pages 
are very big, I couldn't split them - but most of them are less then 
100 KB, the miscellaneous-symbols.html - file has 27 KB.

In 1996 I saw pages with a lot of small gif-images to show 
mathematical symbols. Now it's possible to use such a small code.

I can only hope that Microsoft will put the MS Arial Unicode as 
standard into the operating system, no longer optional.

Re: [WSG] XML Declaration

 Is there any situation where IE6 renders in standard compliance mode with 
 the ?xml ...  preamble?
 

If IE6 finds an Xml-Declaration, he switchs in BackCompat.

I did use two testpages, look at http://www.sql-und-xml.de/
then at 

i-with.html 

or

i-without.html

At the end of both pages there is a small JavaScript which shows the 
mode, the only difference is the Xml-Declaration.

Re: [WSG] Website Check

2005-03-23 Thread Juergen Auer
Hi Zachary, 

your links are wrong. They are like

http://www.hopkinsprogramming.net/products

Calling this with Opera and disabled automatic redirection, a page 
with http 301 is shown. I do not know if every screen-reader or lynx 
would accept this.

Better: Link directly http://www.hopkinsprogramming.net/products/

Re: [WSG] Standards compliant site, clients wants to make updates themselves

2005-03-21 Thread Juergen Auer
Hi Bert,

I do not exact know, if you know Xml/Xsl: But using them could help a 
lot.

I am using this to create the inner window without the navigation. 
Look at 
http://www.sql-und-xml.de/xml/index.xml - there is no navigation 
defined. Matching all these Xml-Files with the associated Xsl 
produces pure Html - http://www.sql-und-xml.de/ is the Output for 
most of the browsers and spiders and has now a navigation.

Using external Entities could also separate content, navigation and 
formatting elements.

When I create a new page, the result is 'naturally XHtml1.1 - 
valide'.

The Html-Version can be produced with a VBScript or a NET-Tool.

Best Regards,
Juergen Auer

 What other options are there, apart from complex, expensive CMS setups

Re: [WSG] CSS validator says [xX][mM][lL] is not allowed.

2005-03-19 Thread Juergen Auer
Hi Andrey,

it could be an error because of the first line.

The Xml-Declaration has to be found in the first line, not in the 
second.

The Declaration allows an encoding-switch or the version 1.1, then 
the NEL (#x2028) would be allowed as line-break. So the Declaration 
has to be the first in an xml-document.

Re: [WSG] Bullets not showing up in Firefox/Opera

2005-03-19 Thread Juergen Auer
I see the foollowing two lines:

#navbox ul, li{display:block;margin:0;padding:0 0 0 0;}

and

#buttons ul, li{display:block;margin:0;padding:0 0 0 0;}


Both do not declare (#navbox ul) And (#navbox li), 
instead (#navbox ul) And (li)

If I kill both 'li' or change them to the undefined 'lis', the error 
is away.


Use instead:

#navbox ul, #navbox li{display:block;margin:0;padding:0 0 0 0;}

and

#buttons ul {display:block;margin:0;padding:0 0 0 0;}
#buttons li {display:block; margin-left:1em;padding:0;}

On my own domain, the margin:0;padding:0 also didn't work.
