[css-d] Curious question inspired by the X-UA compatible thread

If you have an HTML document that happens to contain another HTML document in an iframe - and one of the two documents triggers quirks mode when rendered by itself - is each one rendered in the same mode or does the browser somehow do one in standards mode and one in quirks mode? -- David [EMA

[css-d] Diff between display:none and visibility:hidden

I know that one difference between display:none and visibility:hidden is that the former does not leave space in the layout where the code exists on the page, while the latter does. Are there other differences? Using visibility:hidden I have hidden a whole string of links I need on the page to u

Hi David, I happen to be following this post closely, since Phoebe seems to have all the questions I had. I validated all my pages, with the validate site, both html & css, fixed many mistakes I have and learned a lot! (the only thing that didn't pass the validation was the rss on this page:

[css-d] IE7 spacing blowout problem on Stu Nicholls' "Snazzy Borders" code

Hi, I'm modifying code from Stu Nicholls' "Snazzy Borders" code, referenced here: http://www.cssplay.co.uk/boxes/snazzy.html As he stated, this works in modern browsers. However, I tried putting only a form field in here, and it blows out the spacing above and below the content area in IE7 only.

[css-d] IE8 hack?

Yes, I know, in a perfect site there's no need for hacks. But this is a just slightly less-than perfectly coded site I did a year ago, and it breaks in IE8. I can fix most of it, but some widths in IE8 don't match up with widths in FireFox, and IE8 ignores !ie. So, does this mean conditional comme

[css-d] background image shifts next to heading??

[css-d] IE 6 and fixed width for select element

Hi, When we open a fixed width select control in a compliant browser it expands the width of the open window in order to show the option content larger than that fixed width. IE 6 (don't know about IE 7) doesn't expands and crops the option content larger than the width. Is there a CSS way (no jav

To second what bruno said, its worth investigating if its an IE bug or failure to meet the 2.1specs or something wrong with your css and if the problem is on IE side make sure that it gets reported via some channel. its far to early to make an effort to start fixing things - Rajat Bruno Fassino wr

Howdy, I'm really ready to dump BBedit, and am wondering if anyone has a good html/css editor with autocomplete like many of the current tools, but also has the built-in ftp capabilities of BBedit? I am seeing a lot of tools with one or two good features, but nothing outstanding. Basica
