Hello. http://alegeri-locale.stockappletsocale-2004.html http://alegeri-locale.stockapplets.com/2/alegeri-locale-2004.html We are having a SEO Contest. I am the only one who cares about Standards and Tableless design an I want to show the other guys the real power of standards. Problem is I have to use a Counter from Cqcounter.com which has a nasty script. I would like some help in order to make the page Valid XHTML 1.0 Strict. I've tweaked it a little, but I don't know what else to do to make it Validate.

RE: [WSG] help me please
Hi, There are several things you could try in an attempt to fix this. First, validate your XHTML and CSS. Next, try applying the IE Box Model Hack (http://tantek.com/CSS/Examples/boxmodelhack.html). Since you are using padding and a border on some of your divs, this is likely the problem. IE5.5 misinterprets the CSS Box Model, and thus a hack is needed. HTH.

Quoting Sean Sullivan-Daley [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I am trying to float 3 columns next to each other. This appearas to be OK in IE6 but is broken in FireFox. The columns break out of the container in FireFox. There's now a new way to clear float containers without the need to use an extra clearing element. http://www.csscreator.com/attributes/containedfloat.php Tony * The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list getting help *
Re: Re: [WSG] Help with Float
Sorry, thought I took that clear:both out of there. My mistake.
As for the font sizes, that is what was specified in the original stylesheet and I
just copied from the col1 styles down to the end.

Mike,
There are two small problems with this example. You are applying the
clear:both to the #col1 div. This works well in some instances but will fail
if #col2 or #col3 have much longer content. By fail I mean that the other
divs will poke out the bottom of their parent container.
You can see this here:
http://www.maxdesign.com.au/jobs/css/sullivan-daley.htm
Another point (getting picky here, so apologies) is that you are show pixel
sizes for your font-sizes inside the containers. This is not recommended by
the WAI as it is not good for browsers that do not support scaling of
content in pixels (like IE). A better option is to use percents or EM's. A
really good article on this is here:

Re: [WSG] Help with Float
Floats are tricky. Try this:
1) Drop your col2 div below the col3 in the HTML markup.
2) Use these values for the col# in the stylesheet:
#col1 {
width: 253px;
height: auto;
border-right: 2px dotted #5D355E;
float: left;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
clear: both;
}
#col2 {
width: 245px;
height: auto;
margin: 0 255px 0 255px;
padding: 0px;
}
#col3 {
width: 253px;
height: auto;
border-left: 2px dotted #5D355E;
float: right;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
}
#col1 p, #col2 p, #col3 p {
font: 12px/16px Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
margin: 0px;
padding: 5px 10px;
}
It should work in IE and Mozilla/Firefox. I tested it and it works fine.

You have class bodytext in your html, but it is not defined in your style sheet (unless I'm missing something, it is 2:15 in the morning). Also as stated before you should remove the periods from your class names in your html. From a usability stand point I would consider underlining all of your links with a:hover if you are going to do it on the side bar. It will help minimize confusion of your users. Aside from that I like the clean, simple style.

[WSG] help with compatability
Hi guys, I really need help. Im building a portfolio site for my graphics work. Check it out at www.mcmonagle.biz The problem: Browser compatability. I live in Ireland, i estimate that half the people here use a 4 or 5th generation browser. I built this portfolio site using css positioning attributes that dont work in these browsers, at all. Also i am using 3 style sheets. 1 for ie 5+ mac. one for ie 6+pc and one for netscape 6mac. The site does not work properly in other browsers. The javascript that calls up the style sheets causes problems in 4 and 5 generation browsers. Im working on rebuilding the site with html, im not really a programmer. I bought into this css stuff hook line and sinker... I would like to move forward and not backwards. Thank you -Kevin _ Mothers Day is May 9.

Re: [WSG] Help us redesign the WSG site
Good day folks. I'm new to the list and it would be wonderful to be able to submit a design 'a la' Zen Garden. Even if not accepted it would really be an honor to submit a design amongst such prestigious web designers. I also look forward to learning alot from this great pool of experience. Regards, Ahmaud R.

Andy wrote: How about doing a Zen Garden type thing and allow people to skin the WSG site. That would be an interesting task, seeing it would be a 20 odd page site we would be skinning. The first challenge will be to get enough agreement on how to create the basic page structure, eg: do we include extra divs to allow for clearing floats to deal with IE bugs? who many divs just to contain the page ? one, one inside another or four to allow for various corner tricks? do we have a few extra divs for images ala Zen Garden just incase people want to use them and how many? So if Russ is willing to completely change the rules, we are willing to put up with some lively discussions on most suitable page strucutre, I for one am looking forward to the opportunity.

RE: [WSG] Help us redesign the WSG site
H... All very interesting. To do this we may have to change the functionality of the CMS a bit and maybe even hard code the pages that rarely change due to the needs of a site that displays code on the page by default (when pasted in). I don't think that many outside the core group have actually used it though so this shouldn't be an issue as any requests for changes to the content could still be sent to us. As Russ said it was built very quickly along these lines. So, we'll now discuss this and get back to you about how we'll proceed. Thanks for all your input again.

RE: [WSG] Help us redesign the WSG site
I like this idea! It adds a creative flair to the purpose of the group and as an artist/programmer instead of a pure programmer it gives others like me a chance to show the world This is how I would've done it.

Re: [WSG] Help us redesign the WSG site
russ weakley spoke the following wise words on 21/03/2004 1:58AM EST: The WSG site was built very quickly when we first put the group together (just over a year ago). It is very much overdue for a redesign. In the spirit of group ownership, we thought it would be a good idea to open the process up to all members. Great! I only wish I had more time to encourage my creative side. So much of my time is spent doing technical stuff.

[WSG] Help i broke it all!
Okay here is where the site is in Dev: www.desertstandard.net/yv/ The problem is that in WIN IE6 i get the background image, the upper right hand image and the nav bar to appear, but nothing else shows up! I check the source and everything is there, its just not showing up. In Safari 1.0 I can see everything but the Nav bar does not work and the upper right hand image is displaced. In MAC IE 5.2 everything works great but the background image does not show up. The CSS validates and the HTML is good save a few img close tags and what not. Oh please help!

Re: [WSG] Help with a bit of code plz
Hi Ryan, Just as you specified the number of character rows (vertical), you also need to specify the number of character columns (horizontal.) Your mark-up would like something like: ...e=txtMessage rows=5 cols=50 title=Enter your message/textarea Regards, Ben info wrote: And can anyone plz plz plz explain what this means: Below are the results of attempting to parse this document with an SGML parser. 1.

RE: [WSG] Help with a bit of code plz
Cols is the number of column that you want in your text areas (similar to rows) and depending on your doctype - it may be required. So if you want 50 columns in your text areas you have to add cols=50. hth Cheers Mark -- Mark Stanton Technical Director Gruden Pty Ltd Tel: 9956 6388 Mob: 0410 458 201 Fax: 9956 8433 http://www.gruden.com * The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ *
