[WSG] divs, layers, trans and strict
Hello all, and a good new year to you all! I am 'playing' with some layers which sit on top of each other to create a specific effect. I have converted the layers to CSS in the header (instead of inline styling) and it works fine as HTML4.01 trans. it can be seen at [1]. However, as soon as I make it strict, the positioning changes, as shown in [2]. Both files validate OK, and so does the CSS, so why are they not behaving properly? - It's probably staring at me, but I just can't see it! Would any of you alert new year revellers take a look for me please?

Bob, I just opened both pages in Safari, and they seem to be/look the same to me, so the first question is which browser(s) are you testing in?

One good rule for xhtml markup is marking the code lower-case, and putting quotes after attributes, id=thisway is less supported than id=thisway Sincerely Haldberg On Sat, 1 Jan 2005 15:20:57 -, designer [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: - Original Message - From: Justin French [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: wsg@webstandardsgroup.org Sent: Saturday, January 01, 2005 3:03 PM Subject: Re: [WSG] divs, layers, trans and strict Bob, I just opened both pages in Safari, and they seem to be/look the same to me, so the first question is which browser(s) are you testing in? Justin Hi Justin, Thanks for responding - I'm testing in Firefox, Opera 7, MSIE6 and MSIE5.5 all OK as trans, all wrong as strict! The only browser I have that is consistently correct is - wait for it - NN4.7!

Re: [WSG] divs, layers, trans and strict
Thanks guys (and gal :-) It was indeed the wrong case that was doing it. I just knew it was something daft that I couldn't spot, but you got it! Very grateful - it's so annoying when you can't see it . . . !
