Re: [WSG] CSS Selecting Text...

[Rob Halff]

The select problem has probably something to do with some tags not being closed properly, for example:   <font color="#12345" size="5">28-11-2003</font> --- <font color="#12345" </span><br>   and there are some more validation problems. Check it out at http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwebsms.ii.net%2F   On your own site you got similair mistakes like: <p class=note align=center><b>Menu Item Description</b></SPAN> and "<p class=note align=center><b>Menu Item Description</b>" etc.   Be sure to valid your html first and close every tag you are writing, even things like <br> and <hr> should be closed properly: <br /> <hr />   Greetings,   Rob Halff   ----- Original Message ----- From: Chris Stratford To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, November 30, 2003 3:16 AM Subject: [WSG] CSS Selecting Text... Hey everyone… I always read the emails – just never had any reason to write in to you all.   I have a question you may or may not have answered already. If you have already seen this I apologise for the repeat question.   For an example of what I am talking about, check out http://websms.ii.net It uses CSS to format the Menu on the side and the contents. You cannot select any text anywhere in the contents without selecting the menu also… I can understand why this happens, it’s because the way the website is laid out with the menu code before the contents code. I have noticed it on other websites which use CSS to format side menus etc…   I was just wondering, I am going to remake my website www.neester.com so it’s more based on CSS than HTML (check it out if you like). I am going to use PHP rather than CGI. I wanted to have a CSS menu, and avoid the use of tables – only because tables get very verbose when you have a large menu. And I would also like the experience using CSS.   I don’t want people emailing me complaining that they cannot select text on the page etc… because that would get very annoying. Is this a problem with Internet Explorer or a general CSS issue that has yet to be addressed etc? Because with CSS the look of a website is no longer sequential like the HTML code, because you can add some code at the end of the HTML and have that appear at the top of the page etc…   Thanks heaps! I hope this works!   ------------------------ • Chris Stratford • [EMAIL PROTECTED] • www.neester.com ------------------------
