Re: [WSG] HTML5 offline storage question

2010-08-09 Thread Jody Tate
Asking why not just use the cache is a valid question. In this case, using HTML5 storage to house files doesn't seem to be tapping into all HTML5 storage can do--but it's not violating what storage can do either (so far as I know). HTML5 storage is like cookies: "Simply put, it’s a way for web

2010-08-05 Thread Jody Tate
Hi all, Does @media rule ordering in a stylesheet matter? For example, given the following order: @media print { body { #FF; } } @media all { body { #99; } } Will @media print override the @media all in this ordering? G

[WSG] link rel="stylesheet" question

2010-07-17 Thread Jody Tate
Hello all, In a stylesheet link, does the order of rel, href and type affect how a browser understands, loads, etc. a stylesheet? I usually see the rel attribute first, as in the example below, but does the order of attributes matter or is the order convention, convention meaning, "that's what

[WSG] the mysteries of overflow: hidden

2010-02-10 Thread Jody Tate

Thanks, Paul, for the suggestion. Doctype, I don't think, is the issue. The doctype is set in the static XHTML that the Ajax builds on as XHTML strict. However, most generated source views remove the doctype, a phenomenon I asked about here: http://ask.metafilter.com/84314/Where-does-the-DTD-
