mental block with basic CDATA section?

2009-11-18 Thread Barclay, Daniel
I having trouble with a mental block I'm not seeing.

I can't get CDATA sections in HTML to work.

For example, the following HTML:

   !DOCTYPE html PUBLIC -//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN
 http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd;
   html
 body
   Tes![CDATA[t]]ing
 /body
   /html

displays Tesing.  That is, the CDATA section seems to be being
ignored.


I think I'm following the syntax shown in the HTML specification
at http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/appendix/notes.html#h-B.3.5, but
it's not working in SeaMonkey (1.x) or IE, but I can't see
what I'm doing wrong.

Thanks,
Daniel

No.  Whether you give http://mybank.com; or http://mybank.com/; (or
mybank.com vs. mybank.com/), the browser sends the _exact_ same
request to the server.

(There can be a difference between http://mybank.com/something; and
http://mybank.com/something/;.)

 you have an idea of what is going on here.

Excellent analogy.

Yes there is.

Understand MIME (the fallback aspect) before arguing that position.

 I know this was answered before, but I am not able to locate the

 the actual viewing of an email.  Currently, I get a little spinning

 delete an already viewed email.  Would appreciate someone repeating or 
 directing me to the fix.  Thank you.
 
 
 Hello,
 
 I've had that same problem and asked the same question.  The answer
 I finally received was that it was normal-just deal with it.

Well, it's not really normal (inherent in what SeaMonkey needs to do to
display mail).

It's apparently a bug that SeaMonkey re-scans some plug-ins (or extensions?)
directory before displaying each message.  I don't remember any more details,
so try searching the list archives (several months ago).

Re: Site problem: is it my setup or the site? Seamonkey 1.1.14

 Bingo! My minimum font size (Appearance|Fonts|Minimum) was set to 12. 
 Setting to 11 and everything is in place and looking good. I've never 
 come across a site that was so sensitive to font size; ocasionally, 
 enlarging the font might overlap some text or put a few characters on 
 the border where they are a little harder to read. But, to have 90% of 
 the page disappear off to the right is unprecedented for me!
 
 As noted, three ctrl+ and 90% of the page jumps a page width or so the 
 right. That's with the minimum font size set to 11.

For those of use who see must of the content disappear entirely (not just
jump to the right), any idea how that's happening (what in the CSS/etc. would
make things disappear)?
