Hi all,

I wound my doctype back to html 4 transitional (remember html 4?  
Man, those were the days..), validated the code, removed some  
errors (the Google Mini output code is less than semantic, to put  
it mildly) and now IE7 and FF render the page in strict/standards  
mode.


IE7 now doesn't honour the * html hack, just like Chris Wilson said  
it wouldn't :)

Now all I need is a fix for IE7 to get the font-size correct

Thanks for your help everyone,
Paul

[WSG] Multiple versions of IE on same PC

2007-01-17 Thread Nick Lazar

Hi All,

I don't know if many people on the list are aware of this little gem  
(I found a link to it recently in an IE blog).


It's a (free) package that has IE 3, 4.01, 5.01, 5.55  6 all bundled  
together. All you need to do is download it and run it like any  
normal .exe, and hey presto, you have the full set of IE releases all  
working side by side on the same PC in less than 5 minutes! (And yes,  
it works with IE7)


I've installed them on my PC and on my Macbook Pro using Parallels  
and it works a treat! (Certainly beats paying for additional XP  
licenses or using Microsoft's IE6 Testing VPC image (which times out  
in April).


Anyway, if you go to http://tredosoft.com/Multiple_IE you'll be able  
to download the package and try it for yourself.


Cheers,

Nick Lazar

Re: [WSG] HTML editor for Mac

2006-05-16 Thread Nick Lazar

Paul,

Depending on what sort of code you need to write, there are a few  
good ones around:


BBEdit is probably the most well known but costs around US$175  
(personally I like this one the best)
If you're doing any PHP work Zend Studio is really good, and starts  
at US$99

A couple of good, light weight free editors are Jedit  SubEthaEdit

Unfortunately, with CSS there is nothing that comes close to Topstyle  
for the Mac, but CSS Edit  Stylemaster are the two that I use.


All of those editors are easily found via Google...

Cheers,

Nick.

Hi all,

Recently made the change from PC to Mac. Love the platform, but can't
seem to find a good, simple HTML editor. I normally use Homesite on
the PC, but there is no Mac version.

I've tried using Dreamweaver, but found it has a lot of features that
get in the way that I'll never use. (particularly - WYSIWYG). It's the
little differences when you use the software every day! Been using
Textmate too, but not completely satisfied.

Was curious to know if anyone else is doing front end development on
the Mac? If so, what software are you using?

Cheers,
Paul
