As my site is generated using phpWebSite I actually placed the script into my template file but only allowing it to display on the home page. My home page (XHTML Transitional 1.0) went from zero errors warnings to 65 errors - all related to the Google Adsense frame generated from their JavaScript code.

Re: [WSG] Ads breaking Compliancy
Hello all, Below is a site in progress. http://www.donegalengineers.com/index.htm The footer likes to float up in firefox. as is visible in this page http://www.donegalengineers.com/results.htm any ideas why? p.s. The last site i showed here got slagged silly for the font size. For this site I had originally tried 100% and 83% for body copy as was suggested by a moderate replier. When the client first saw the site he immediately requested the font size be brought down so i cranked it back to 75%. That being said i didnt put up much of a fight but i still might try and get him to agree to an increase. thanks kvnmcwebn ** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list getting help **

Delete whatever 'height' you've set on #main-contentlistings, as that's what Firefox (and Opera and all other good browsers) are obeying. IE6 doesn't obey dimensions, but that bugger doesn't need that height either. p.s. The last site i showed here got slagged silly for the font size.

Clients seems to want to prevent visitors from /reading/ what's on their sites, and I guess that's ok as long as long as you tell them that it doesn't always work :-) You may at least avoid 'fixed font-sizes' for IE6' users sake, and trim it slightly so overlapping is avoided if/when IE6 'ignores font-sizes' and other browsers apply 'min font size' and 'resizing'. Should do, I think. regards Georg -- http://www.gunlaug.no ** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list getting help **

[WSG] Mollio
heya, I presented a session on CSS at the WebDU conference in Sydney last week. Part of the preso was the idea of having some simple pre-built CSS/HTML templates to use as a project *starting point*. a toolkit of sorts So I've put my own toolkit (called Mollio) up for public consumption in the hope that others will add to it, as I will continue to... http://www.mollio.org/ I've set up a new google group to discuss the templates. Its linked from the site. As we know, when it comes to CSS there's always more than one way to skin a cat so please keep in mind these templates are not intended to be the absolute best way of structuring your CSS/HTML. That always depends on your specific project. I do find these Mollio templates are useful to use as a starting point tho because the CSS/HTML has been constructed with robustness (is that a word?) in mind - to allow chunks of the code to be copied pasted between projects and your layout/content remains intact or requires little editing. Anyway, enough of the gabbing, drop by and check out Mollio if you get a chance. If youve got any thoughts about Mollio that would be of interest to the wider WSG group, I guess post back here on the WSG list - if not, drop by the Mollio Google Group and provide some feedback/suggestions/contributions there. cheers, pete ~~~ Peter Ottery ~ Creative Director Daemon Pty Ltd 17 Roslyn Gardens Elizabeth Bay NSW 2011 www.daemon.com.au ** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list getting help **
[WSG] Layout Glitch :: Help Me!
Help me WSG! Hello community, I am having one of those want to pull your hair out problems and cannot seem to isolate what is causing it. Here is the URL http://www.zargomedia.org/dump/services.html Problem: View this page in FireFox: Looks beautiful. View this page in IE 6: Gap above my header div element. I could place the div tag inside the header to remove the gap but then my corners will not be transparent. Maybe someone has a magical CSS attribute to solve my problem? ** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list getting help **

That's a typical HTML problem in IE/win. IE interprets an empty element as if it has content inside, and adds line-height to it. That creates the gap. Solution: put an HTML comment inside the empty div, as IE6 will then treat it correctly as if it has no content, thus no line-height. div class=container_top!-- --/div You can also define 'font-size: 1px; line-height: 0;' to the empty element and achieve the same effect.

table.module will only apply the style to a table with class=module on it. .module will apply the style regardless of what element the class is on. a.contentpagetitle:link will apply the style to any a tags with a .contentpagetitle class on them that is a link. .contentpagetitle a:link will apply the style to any elements INSIDE .contentpagetitle that are a link.

[WSG] tableless layout stuff
Hi Everyone,
Few questions:
http://temp.delphinus.co.nz/newsite/shop/shop.php?product=accessories
I'm using white-space: pre; so dont have to br every line in the green
description stuff... but if the window is resized it doesn't wrap AT
ALL... is there a better way to do this?
And is there a way to put the green text up at the same height, and to
the right of the title and image please?
So we have:
Title
Pic{description}
price
etc
Many Thanks,
Jack
