Re: [WSG] Compliant tree menu

I'm guessing the solutions you've tried have been js? How have you tried to validate it? As long as the js is correctly implemented in the html (xhtml?) using the script tags it should validate. Maybe I've missed the point (_; ) Regards, Darian Cabot -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Cabot

Re: [WSG] Compliant tree menu

Well I have very little js experience also... I do know that and id is meant to be used only once in a html document. Does the code still work with the repeated ids converted to class? I guess that's worth a try anyways if you haven't already ;) btw... It's Darian, not Damien (_) I get

Re: [WSG] 100% height div

You have the leftDiv inside MainDiv. leftDiv is 100% height... Just... 100% height of mainDiv (it's parent). You'll need to set mainDiv to 100%, whatever height mainDiv is, leftDiv will follow in your setup. Hope that helps! Oh by-the-way, you have an awesome name ;) Regards, Darian Cabot

Re: [WSG] Scrollbars in IE6 (PC)

: scroll; will give the div scroll bars, and overflow: visible; will show it usually by stretching the height of the div. Maybe that was completely useless, hope it helps though. Darian Hi everybody... I'm having a terrible time trying to figure out just why IE6 (Windows XP) is throwing scrollbars

RE: [WSG] Font size, and how large is large enough?

for the suggestions Darian Should you have classes with the same name as html tags? ie class body? How I see it being a problem for a coder, is if you have; body { blah blah } and then .body { blah blah } it could get confusing. You may not need the body class, because you could assume all p tags
