[WSG] [Spam] :The wisdom? of using q to clear
Can anyone tell me what is wrong (apart from not being semantic) about using:
q{
clear : both;
display : none;
}
In conjunction with:
qfor clearing!/q
in the body of the mark-up. (it makes it a bit more helpful for screen
readers, I presume?)
Anything? Any better ideas around? I did google this, but only found
variations on using br/, which seems messy, somehow.
All suggestions gratefully considered.
Thanks,
Bob

Can anyone tell me what is wrong (apart from not being semantic) about using: Have you tried using the easy clearing fix instead? http://www.positioniseverything.net/easyclearing.html ...it avoids the need for markup just for clearing. If you stick with markup I'd suggest just using br / rather than including extraneous text. I don't think the clearfix method is a good way to contain floats as it creates different layouts across browsers.

[WSG] Strange Table Border Rendering in everything BUT FF and IE
Hello All -
This is the first time I've come across this issue.
First, go here in either FireFox or IE7 or greater:
http://www.sangat.ph/index.php?cmd=08.01.00
Both of these browsers render two guestbook entries (displayed in a table)
with a thin green line set on the top border of each of the two tables. This
is the way it should look.
Now, if you go to the same page with Opera, Safari (windows), or Chrome, the
table border only renders to the width of td class=flag within each of
these two tables. Hummm.
My css is pretty straight forward:
table.guestBook
{
border-top: 1px solid #9CA027;
border-bottom: none;
border-right: none;
border-left: none;
margin-bottom: 20px;
}
table.guestBook td.flag
{
padding: 0;
width: 64px;
}
table.guestBook th, table.guestBook td
{
font-size: 1.2em;
text-align: left;
border: none;
padding: 0px 0px 5px 15px;
}
table.guestBook th.name
{
font-size: 1.4em;
color: #2695c0;
}
table.guestBook img.stars
{
position: relative;
left: 3px;
top: 3px;
}
table.guestBook td.comment
{
padding-top: 10px;
}
Has anyone else come across this non-Firefox, non i.e. issue? Any
suggestions on how to fix it?
Great appreciation for all guidance!
Cole
