joining the party a little late here.. unless i have misunderstood things here this is a perfect situation to employ XSLT ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XSLT). you can assign whatever attributes you require to the XML and then use XSLT to have the browser render the file as XHTML.

[WSG] Re: WSG Digest
Hi Grant, You could have a dedicated mobile site (using a sub-domain and server-side client detection, for instance) with zero regard paid to accessibility *or*standards. Responsive design (using media queries, for instance) follow the DRY principle - Don't Repeat Yourself. Rather than think about mobiles/desktops I prefer to think of responsive design as catering to any number of devices (think forward a few years to when we see 3G/web browsers built in to car dashboards etc., or as the browsers built into televisions improve). For a lot of websites (e.g. Skysports.com) the cost to integrate responsive design into their existing templating system far exceeds the cost of creating a dedicated mobile sub-domain. There should still only be one data source however, for both implementations.

Subject: Content div sticking out the side of container div
Somehow I do not seem to have come across this problem before. I have two
divs, one contained within the other. If the viewport of the browser is
resized to be smaller than the contents of the inner div, the inner div
sticks out the side of the outer container div, which continues to resize
with the browser.
Surely the outer div should stop shrinking when it reaches the width of its
inner div, even if the viewport continues to be shrunk?
How can I fix this so that the outer div will not become any smaller than
the width of its inner div, when the width of the inner div will be unknown?
Here is example code that illustrates this. In my example, the inner div is
set to a fixed width, but for the web site I am developing, I will not know
the width of the inner div.

Subject: Wrapping text before float drop

.myfloat{
float:left;
}
and both contain text as follows:
div class=myfloatLonger amount of text. Longer amount of text. Longer
amount of text. Longer amount of text./div
div class=myfloatSmall amount of text./div
Is there any way to prevent the second div from dropping below the first div
when the viewport is narrowed, without specifying widths for either of the
floats?
What I would like is for the text in the first div to wrap before the second
float drops below the first. Is this possible without using widths?

One possible solution would be to specify a relative width for the
first div and a fixed width for the second div, plus add a min-width to
the second one.

[WSG] RE: WSG Digest
Hi Tee When trying the max/min width approach, was the Meta Viewport Tag used? The Meta Viewport Tag as found in the Viewport section on http://developer.apple.com/library/safari/#documentation/AppleApplications/Reference/SafariHTMLRef/Articles/MetaTags.html meta name=viewport content=width=device-width,initial-scale = 1.0 is the standard one you'll see around the place including HTML5 Boilerplate. And this compliments the min/max approach (makes it sane). Equally I found using meta name=viewport content=initial-scale=1.0 worked, but I have yet to test it on many devices. The difference between the two are that on iOS the first will always keep the viewport width the same in both orientations, i.e. 320 portrait and landscape on iPhone. Whereas the second will be 320 in portrait and 480 in landscape. There is a bug in iOS that when using either of the above where orientating to landscape zooms the viewport. This was irritating to begin with but only requires a quick pinch to correct. There are hacks that fix it but so far I've only seen ones that disable zoom. I like zoom, so prefer to leave the bug with iOS. If not seen already, PPK's A Tale of Two Viewports is an excellent insight into this crazy world :D http://www.quirksmode.org/mobile/viewports.html all the best, Dave @davesmiths I would love to hear what other think about the approach for device-width vs max/min width. For myself, I have done a couple sites targeting device-width and really think this is better approach. The hype about responsive design got me to try out the max/min width approach, I find that I need to tackle more the the window resizes (and this means writing more CSS rules means penalizing touchscreen device user), and the experience can be quite awful seeing it from desktop browser. I'm sort of in a defeated mood right now, really feel that except the ego to show off, I'm unable to find a convincing reason that desktop user needs to be given a responsive website anything smaller than 800px. tee *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: memberh...@webstandardsgroup.org ***

Re: [WSG] Re: WSG Digest
Mevlana, Thank you. This seems to be what I'm looking for. Now I'll just need to experiment with trying to write a javascript (not my forte) that will publish a link to the site on the page if it was not opened as a pop-up and that should fix the problem. Best, Bob Bob, The following site may give you an idea: http://javascript.about.com/library/blpoptest.htm Basically, each popup window has an 'opener'. If the 'opener' exists, then user has come to the page via a popup, else the user has come via another method.

Subject: html5 and iframes?
I am having a problem with iframes in html5. I am trying to put a facebook
'like' link on a website and the results are not always as expected.
Particularly, IE 7 and 8 show a border AND the box size is different! I am
using this:
iframe id=noborder
src=http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=www.marscovista.co.ukamp;layout=standardamp;show_faces=falseamp;action=likeamp;font=verdanaamp;colorscheme=lightamp;;
/iframe
in conjunction with
#noborder {
border : 0!important;
height : 35px;
width : 600px;
}
It's fine in Firefox, Safari and IE6 (amazingly!), but not in IE7 and 8. Am
I missing something? You can see it in situ here:
http://www.marscovista.fsnet.co.uk/index_beta.html
Any help gratefully recvd!

sounds like a .net artefact. i would suggest wrapping the form element in a div, which will carry the immutable ID, this can then remain untouched and used in targeting the child elements, and you're free to iterate your way through instances of the checkbox On 3 March 2011 03:17, wsg@webstandardsgroup.org wrote: * WEB STANDARDS GROUP MAIL LIST DIGEST * From: Nancy Johnson njohnso...@gmail.com Date: Wed, 2 Mar 2011 11:13:04 -0500 Subject: looping and inputs We have a situation where there is a checkbox within a loop, there could be 1 to as many as 50 instances depending on the results of a query.

You have put the background color and image under background-image. Why
don't you consolidate all of your backround statements into one:
#footer {

background: #33 url(images/Footer_background_s1.jpg) repeat-x
top;
min-height: 96px;

Otherwise, you need to separate background-image and background-color.

:
#footer {

Both the HTML and the CSS validate ok.
So does any one see what I have wrong for IE?

I do prefer to spread styles in logical groups over a few stylesheets, to a certain degree. If nothing else it helps on maintenance and reuse. 1.Will the desktop browser stops loading the above 3 media unless requested? A browser will load everything, as long as it supports, or pretends to support, the link or @import media and queries used. It will put styles to use as needed and supported. 2.If I link each media type individually, does the desktop browser actually load the above 3 style sheets? Same answer. Similarly, will it not better for targeted device not loading two of the media types? If a targeted device loads only the correct style sheets, it will be 2 HTTP requests (one for main style and one for targeted media type) but the file size of each style sheet is significant reduce, and this seems to be beneficial especially for bandwidth concerned mobile devices. Yes? Back in the days we used link and/or @import media and queries as filters to /hack/ browsers - to make them load or not load specific stylesheets. Today we at least try to be a bit more advanced, and use link and/or @import media and queries as filters to /target/ browsers and devices - to make them load or not load specific stylesheets. Reasons may have changed amongst conscious web designers , but browsers are evolving, so too much deliberate filtering at the link and @import stages may mean an existing or future browser/device that can, and should be given a chance to, handle specific styles, won't load them. So, it is my advice that you don't filter more than you have to at the link and @import stages, even if that means slightly fatter stylesheets. * From: David Dorward da...@dorward.me.uk Date: Thu, 11 Nov 2010 12:59:08 + Subject: Re: [WSG] XHTML or HTML?

Subject: CSS support of HTML5 tags not ready yet?
Only the two Webkit browsers are able to render the header and footer
correctly.
http://lotusseedsdesign.com/css-test/templegate.html
header {
height : 300px;
width : 980px;
text-align : center;
position : relative;
clear : both;
overflow : hidden;
margin : 0 auto;
border : 1px solid #369;
background : #ddd;
}
I can't find anything wrong with my style sheet and the html code.
