Re: [WSG] divs and copying their content
Hmmm... interesting. This looks like a possible soultion: http://lists.evolt.org/archive/Week-of-Mon-20020902/121759.html I don't think this is an acceptable solution at all... putting IE in quirks mode causes all sorts of side-effects - keyword font size for example will go all huge, and it will use the IE5 box model... yuck. another page about it here: http://blog.tom.me.uk/2003/07/23/boie6selecta.php This looks interesting... if it works in an external file, I think I'll add this to my box of standard tricks. Good one!

Re: [WSG] divs and copying their content
Hi again! I've seen this problem appear before. But when I tested http://webstandards.org/ in Opera and Firefox - there was no problem in selecting the text I wanted. The problem seems only to appear in Internet Explorer.

RE: [WSG] divs and copying their content
I thought I remembered something about if you absolute position something, or have some weird float arrangement, IE has a hard time copying text, but sorry can't find URL for it.

Re: [WSG] divs and copying their content
Barry this might actually be something simple that I've Barry forgotten but I'm noticing more div layed out sites are harder Barry to accuratly select the text content. Select a word or two and Barry next thing you know you've highlighted (and copied/pasted) half Barry the page inc images. Barry to see what I mean, see if you can cleanly select a Barry couple of words from http://webstandards.org/. you'll probably Barry end up with more than you selected Barry can anyone explain why? I had the same (probably) problem recently. It doesn't happen in IE 5x Win, only IE6. It seems it's a problem caused by the combination of absolute positioning) and IE6 working in standards-compatible mode.
