RE: [WSG] IE print bug crashes page

Gavin, Yep I had the problem on a page on a site and I seem to remember it was something to do with the !doctype declaration: In my case I had managed to miss it off the offending page. Bloody frustrating and hard to find when all the other pages were OK. Regards Giles -Original

[WSG] XP SP 2

Hey List, Just letting you know XP SP2 is out now. It says its not for Single PC Use, although I just used it anyway. Its 200MB Larger than the single PC use one - so big difference in download. http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/winxppro/maintain/winxpsp2.mspx I didnt notice any

[WSG] Image size--where should it be?

Title: Image size--where should it be? I am new to CSS and I am not sure if the image size (width and height) should appear in the HTML or be handled by CSS. Thank you. Edd

Re: [WSG] Image size--where should it be?

If the image is used in the html than specifying height width is god eg: img src=image.jpg height=10 width=20 If the image is used in css eg: background: url(image.jpg); than I have never seen the height and width specified (I dont even know if you can) -- Neerav Bhatt http://www.bhatt.id.au

Well, the W3C validation page recommends using either! Demonstrating valid CSS: p a href=http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/; img style=border:0;width:88px;height:31px src=http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/images/vcss; alt=Valid CSS! / /a /p Demonstrating valid XHTML: p a

Re: [WSG] Image size--where should it be?

Hi Edd You can do it in both areas ­ traditionally you would specify it in the HTML, but as Patrick Griffiths demonstrates at HTML dog - http://www.htmldog.com/articles/elasticdesign/demo/ - you can make your images elastic if you have the dimensions in the CSS. Cheer Jeff Lowder Accessibility

Re: [WSG] Image size--where should it be?

Is there really any reason to have it either place? Isn't it just extra code that doesn't have to be there? On Aug 12, 2004, at 6:29 PM, Joshua Street wrote: Well, the W3C validation page recommends using either! Demonstrating valid CSS: p a href=http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/; img

Re: [WSG] Image size--where should it be?

Edd, Without sounding like fence sitting, the answer would be it depends on the situation and personal opinion. You probably should start by separating out images into two categories; (1) decorative images (2) content-based images (1) A decorative image is one that is purely superficial -

RE: [WSG] Image size--where should it be?

G'day I am new to CSS and I am not sure if the image size (width and height) should appear in the HTML or be handled by CSS. Thank you. Width and height are valid attributes for images in HTML and XHTML, even in the Strict flavour. The only time I would specify it in CSS rather than

Re: [WSG] image placement

How's this: p { background: url(someimage.png) no-repeat left top; } p:first-letter { padding-left: 15px; } Works in IE5.5 onwards. 5 and below don't quite get it, I'm afraid. If 5 is your target, you may have to resort to using a sacrificial span pspan/spanblah blah.../p and the convoluted p {

Hi Unless there are some major benefits to Win IE's support of CSS (I doubt it but please prove me wrong), the Web Standards Group list isn't the best place to post information like this. Cheers James Chris Stratford wrote: Hey List, Just letting you know XP SP2 is out now. It says its not for

[WSG] applying style to the 3rd column of a table?

Hi Folks, Is there any way (without ids or classes) to target the 3rd (for example) column of a table to apply styles? What I'm hoping for is something like... table td[3] { text-align:right; } ... but I can't see anything like that in my references. TIA --- Justin French

Re: [WSG] applying style to the 3rd column of a table?

Hi Justin, Not well supported by IE but you can do with adjacent sibling selectors: td+td+td { background: red;} Only the third column would display a red background Sample: http://www.maxdesign.com.au/jobs/css/adjacent.htm Russ Hi Folks, Is there any way (without ids or classes) to

RE: [WSG] applying style to the 3rd column of a table?

I thought I read somewhere that you can style tables by columns, just as you can by rows and cells.In the article I read, the example showed TH across the top of the table, and the first column of cells was styled using some kind of column selector, not picking the first cell in each row.
