[WSG] XHTML 1.0, Tables and Firefox
Here in Firefox on Windows I see space below the top row of images: http://elmbrook.org/navigation2.html The border is in there only to show what's going on. In IE it looks fine. I assume it's user error. Any hints? Thanks. Jeff BTW this has to be somewhat self contained as far as CSS code for now because it's used as an include in all kinds of pages. ** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list getting help **

I assume it's user error. Any hints? Thanks. Jeff It's because Firefox is rendering the document in standards mode. If you change the DOCTYPE to transitional, it would be rendered in amost standards mode, which would remove the extra space, and is suitable for table-based layouts. I mention a similar effect when transitional HTML documents are served as application/xhtml+xml, whcih forces Firefox to render the document in standards mode: http://juicystudio.com/mimetest/standardsmode.asp Using CSS, you could specify a negative value for margin-bottom to solve the problem.

[WSG] Site critique and problem - www.mondotron.com
Hi all Long term reader / first time poster - just about to launch a new site: http://www.mondotron.com and we'd appreciate any critique. The site enables users to generate free wallpaper/background images for phones/PDAs/messaging applications through the use of a Flash interface. Also, there's a small problem with Firefox 1.0 - a colleague gets a problem with a file upload button on the http://www.mondotron.com/design.php page, replicated at: http://www.mondotron.com/file-upload-button.gif The actual button appears as a small block - haven't been able to replicate it on other machines with same Firefox version.

[WSG] getting two colums to be of the same height
Hi folks, This is something I've been wondering about for a long time. If you look at my blog: http://www.i-marco.nl/weblog/ Is there any cross browser, standards compliant way to get those two grey columns to be the same height? It would make the whole thing look a lot better. What I'd like is the shorter column to have extra empty space to fill it up to be just as high as the longer one. Any ideas are welcome!

[WSG] resizing select dropdown boxes on FF
Does anybody know how to force select dropdown boxes to increase their height on Firefox and Netscape when the font-size is being increased by the user? I know there are ways of doing that for checkboxes and radiobuttons using em-height, but I don't think that works with dropdown boxes. Currently the way it looks on Firefox is that when the user increases the browser font-size the text inside the dropdown increases, but not the dropdown itself. Any suggestions?

Re: [WSG] Other character sets/languages
Hi Dejan, You wrote: I thought nothing of the fact that I have not seen such a result in IE6 and Mozilla 1.7. Mozilla 1.7.5 still proudly displays an ugly BOM, IE doesn't. Hmm--very interesting. I have not seen any BOM effects even though I use Mozilla at home (IE6 at work) so I downloaded XVI32 and checked some of my files composed and saved in Notepad, some with ctrl-s and some using Save as, choosing the UTF-8 encoding, and have yet to find one with a BOM at the beginning. Do you suppose Microsoft fixed Notepad when they coded Windows XP? As long as you have a web server on your intranet it shouldn't do any difference to the browser, it's just documents coming from the network. It's files from your disk that will miss the http headers. The setup at work was never intended to serve HTML. We have a program that runs things like payroll, work scheduling, and inventory that runs on the LAN; we also use the F:\ drive bit to share Excel and Word files. So, I can use an HTML file from a floppy disk, the C:\ drive, the F:\ drive, passed to me as an internal email attachment, or even from a flash memory unit on a USB plug in. AFAIK, **all** my files are missing the http headers.
