I have tried this option and it works on ONE image only, having more
than one PNG
does not give transparency, so its not a good solution either...
I will just go back to gifs and make a background of the image behind to
cut the out line
with expand 1px, that always work and save struggling
Many thanks for the feedback guys. We wont be using a splash page but I
have taken the other points on board and will look into them. The quirks
mode issue, should not be there, we think the system is putting that in
place for us!!

Hello,
I am looking for advice on if the best way to code for special characters is to
use the actual character or the attribute value or the alt code?
i.e. for the ampersand should one use or amp;? Does it matter? I know that
Dreamweaver automates some of this but what is the best practice?
I have always used the for ampersand. The only time I use the code is
when there isn't an actual character on the keyboard. I.e copyright sign.
I don't think it matter on which one to use.

Hi Kevin,
I use the amp;? Code purely because not all browser's can read on
it's own as this tells the browser to expect a special character, which in
turn leads to a more user friendly experience.

Use amp; nbsp; lt; and gt;
All other characters should be actual characters.
Use a character encoding that contains all the characters you require.
Use of NCRs and other entities should be rare occurances for language
challenged environments.

Generally I agree, although one good thing about entities (including
up as a ? when it's
unknown rather than mangled as ’
has caused me truma in the past.
now I use UTF-8 aiming to entifyand quotes aswell as £ and such
dealing with large amounts of content thats been created in a wyswyg editor
can be quite an

thank you for the good responses. Very helpful.

Ah, we seem to actually agree but we're talking about what's known to
different things. Unknown when I used it was in terms of the ability to
render it sucessfully (known to the browser as a whole) not just in
I don't think this is right. It depends what language and character set you
have specified the document to be in. If the character is included in the
character set, there is no need to use the special code... provided the
browser can read that character set...

Have been making some changes at client's request and things have gone
wrong. Firefox is fine and renders as intended. The issue is #content h1.
IE is not rendering it as per the css. It seems to be ignoring it.
When I validated the page, there was 1 error:

Just above the div id=content there's a broken /div tag.
