Re: [WSG] Sydney meeting tonight

A big thanks to Pete, his mention of using a unique id in the body tag eg: to differentiate between different types of page layout styles has solved a problem bugging me for ages trying to consistently style a small "network" of 12 sites with very similar formatting, I manage for a client :-)

[WSG] Category for Standards-based applications

Hi List, I have added (at the request of Bert Doorn) a resources section for server applications that output valid code. Bert's question included the following: - In order to further promote standards compliant (x)html and css websites, I wonder if we could as a group provide a list/database

[WSG] Banners promoting standards-based products and services

Hi, We've created some hard-hitting pro-standards banner ads on our site. The banners promote our product too, but if you want to use the ideas behind our banners to create your own, using humor more might be a good way to promote your own standards-based products and services. Here is the link

Hi, Thanks for the vigorous and spirited replies. I'll just use the trusted method of file extensions, as this excerpt was keeping me up at night. I was hoping I was not just blindly loyal to convention, unable to accept a needed change. After reading the replies to abandon file extensions is j

[WSG] XML Prolog rant [WAS] Site breaking in Mozilla

It seems that whenever I try to fix a problem in Mozilla, then IE breaks. There's a very good reason for that... Because you are using the xml prolog, and I'm betting that if you remove the xml prolog, IE will start breaking too. and many more.. "XML declaration" is the correct name of the entit

[WSG] IE float positioning

Hi guys, Looking for some insight into "float" on IE. I have an image inside a div, that renders beyond the bottom of that div (deliberately.) Now, what I want is for the barckground image of the div below to render "underneath" the transparent area of the image - which is what mozilla does. IE

I can't think of a single site anywhere on the web that's not using file extensions for the images on the site. Does anyone know of one? And in a shared hosting environment, where you have asp, asp.net, php, cfm, html and shtml pages all residing and running simultaneously, I can't see how it wou
