Re: [WSG] Really strange results
This is because your webserver is outputting: Content-Type: text/plain and not: Content-Type: text/css For your CSS file. IE doesn't care, but most other stuff does. Nothing wrong with your CSS. It is a web server configuration problem. - Original Message - From: Leslie Riggs [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: wsg@webstandardsgroup.org Sent: Tue, 5 Apr 2005 14:35:12 +1000 Subject: [WSG] Really strange results In some browsers, the test page I have put up renders fine: namely, IE Mac, Safari on Mac, IE6 on PC. However, Firefox, Opera, Mozilla and Netscape don't seem to see the stylesheet. Both HTML and CSS validated fine through the W3C site. I am really having a difficult time understanding why some browsers see the stylesheet, while others don't? The link to the page: http://www.deafvision.net/projects/btw/revised/indexx.html. CSS is at http://www.deafvision.net/projects/btw/revised/css/btwnewx.css. This is the first time I've encountered this situation, so anyone who can point me in the right direction, I would be very much obliged. Thanks.

[WSG] Change to application/xhtml+xml breaks background colour.
Hey everyone, I've just decided to output application/xhtml+xml to browsers that support it (Mozilla, firefox etc). Now the site is XHTML 1.1 and valid so that is all good. But the problem I am seeing is that the background colour doesn't cover the whole page. Here is a linky to my site: http://www.bluetrait.com/ See the blue behind the header? That should be the background colour for the whole site. Now this only happens when I output application/xhtml+xml. Go have a look in IE (which gets text/html), its fine. If you look at the source the background colour stops as soon as it hits the first DIV tag. div class=contain So any ideas? Thanks heap, Michael Dale. ** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list getting help **
Re: [WSG] Change to application/xhtml+xml breaks background colour.
It's okay. I've fixed it. I was having an issue with overflow. Thanks again, didn't know that detail about xhtml :) - Original Message - From: Michael Dale [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: wsg@webstandardsgroup.org Sent: Sun, 20 Mar 2005 12:35:09 +1100 Subject: Re: [WSG] Change to application/xhtml+xml breaks background colour. Thanks for that, Is is possible to wrap everything in a DIV tag to do this? Because my current problem is that most of my other div tags have their own background colour and I cannot apply my body background to them. - Original Message - From: Patrick H.

Go have a look in IE (which gets text/html), its fine. in XHTML, the BODY element isn't magic anymore. It does not cover the entire browser viewport, but only stretches as far as its content (which is then compounded if you're floating or otherwise removing elements from the natural flow). The solution: apply your background colours and/or images to the HTML element instead of the BODY element. -- Patrick H.

RE: [WSG] My Style Switcher...
I use a style switcher on my site although it works a bit differently.
$dxstyle = $_COOKIE[dxstyle];
$replace_strings = array(../ , ..\\ , /.., \\.., .); $dxstyle =
str_replace($replace_strings, , $dxstyle);
style type=text/css media=screen
?php echo @import url(;
if (file_exists(style.$dxstyle..css)) {
echo /style.$dxstyle..css;
}
else {
echo /style5.css;
}
echo );; ?
/style
Sorry if that is a bit hard to read. What happens is when you click on the style
changer you are set a cookie. The php code above reads which style you're using from
the cookie and loads the correct style. If no style is set it loads the default one.

(although all the other styles are dodgy :p)
