Re: [WSG] Will HTML be nicer to PHP than XHTML?

Dear List Members,

I apologise for bringing up an OT theme. It was not intentional, simply 
thoughtless of me.


I thank the list members who have answered with brilliant information 
and links that were truly enlightening about the subject.


Obrigado!

I understand it's importance to some people but PHP is NOT a standard and we

PHP and this is just noise to them.

I'm not closing the thread but please limit your posts on this topic to only
crucial information that hasn't been said before.

If you move the thread to the CMS list you can go for it as hard as you like
without bothering designers and others that have no interest.

Apologies for being a bit slow on the uptake but the always
informative Roger Johansson (456bereastreet) has this useful article

[WSG] trouble with extra width in IE PC

2005-06-28 Thread Bruce Gilbert
Hello,

I am having a devil of a time trying to fix a problem with page not
aligning correctly width wise in IE on the PC.

If you are on IE on the PC and go to
http://www.inspired-evolution.com/Hireme.php you will see what I mean.

The dark blue area to the right of 'hire me' has extra padding or
something wich make it extend on the right beyond the header and top
navigation.

If someone could take a look at the CSS and let me know of any
solutions, I would be appreciative.

CSS is http://www.inspired-evolution.com/Gilbert.css.

At the risk of sounding like a broken record, add

div { border: 1px solid #f00 ; }

to your css file and view the results. You'll see that your 
div#breadcrumbs is the culprit - width+padding exceeds the width of the 
containing div, and pushes out to the right. IE6 is rendering this such 
that the div#main_content is stretching with it.


The fix? Not sure; I've only time to locate the problem. Try adding 
padding-left to Breadcrumbs  Home link instead of to the enclosing 
div; or reduce the width of div#breadcrumbs.
