Re: [WSG] Claiming compliance when a site doesn't' actually comply

I'm one of these site owners :) I can explain it though. Most sites that bear these buttons were actually compliant when they were launched / created. However in the real world this sometimes slightly deteriorates when stuff is added / removed / modified. It has nothing to do with 'having no

[WSG] weird IE6 doctype switching question

Hi guys, This is probably going to sound really weird but I need this for something I'm working on. Question: Is it possible to make IE6 use the broken box model for a PART of the document? This means I have an XHTML 1.0 Strict / Transitional document with a div in it for which the inner

Re: [WSG] weird IE6 doctype switching question

About the 'why': I'm working on a little Backbase application. From what I've seen so far it seems to require quirks mode to function right in Internet Explorer. You can see this because their website at www.backbase.com has !-- -- on top of the page. Now I want to include a little backbase

[WSG] site check: theme for Typo

Hiya all, I've been working in my free time for over a month to create the best possible standards compliant theme for the Typo weblog system. It's an entry for the Typo theme contest. My template is valid XHTML 1.0 Strict and should work in a very large amount of browsers. I still have

Re: [WSG] site check: theme for Typo

Re: [WSG] site check: theme for Typo

I just tried FF 1.5RC3 on my mac and I am not experiencing this behaviour so I guess it's indeed some sort of rounding error. It does fix the problem 1.0.7 has with the tags cloud in the sidebar having more right margin than left margin. That looks like it does in Safari and MSIE now,

Thanks! Just wanted to make sure the comments WILL be picked up by real 5.0 or 5.5 users. I can fake things for testing and I got everything rendering the way I wanted so I guess I'm fine. Cheers, Marco On Nov 19, 2005, at 9:19 AM, Gunlaug Sørtun wrote: Marco van Hylckama Vlieg wrote

[WSG] MSIE standalone from quirksmode and conditional comments

Hi all, I'm using the standalone MSIE 5.01 and 5.5 from www.quirksmode.org to tweak a design for IE5 and 5.5. This went perfectly fine, the site looks great. However I have one question: Is it just me or don't these versions pick up conditional comments for various older IE versions?
