Re: [WSG] This is really strange stuff, even for IE

The extra sit date is not in the code. Are there any Poirot's out there that can ferret out the offending code? I couldn't see anything obvious, but my first step would be to amend the html and css so that it validates. w3.org reports 20 html errors and three css errors. To be honest, I'm not sure that these are the cause of your problems, but fixing them first makes a lot of sense, and it might make the problem go away! -- Best regards, Iainmailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** 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: [WSG] This is really strange stuff, even for IE
Hi Ted Validating the source sorts out the problem. There's a missing img end tag, several that need to be amp; and some type=text/javascript missing from script elements. Adding those fixes the strange behaviour. Interestingly, the source as it stands causes IE to break if you try resizing text with View | Text Size.

RE: [WSG] This is really strange stuff, even for IE
Hi guys I have fixed the image tag, that was an easy one. The problem is driving me crazy. I remove them when I can but whenever I get rid of them all it trashes the javascript functions. I wish I know which ones are safe to remove. On the vast majority of the pages, the things are the last hurdles. Has anyone else conqured this? What suggestions do you have? We have spent many hours going back and forth on this issue.

Ted Well, I'd suggest hiding any decision making logic within the external javascript file, and only using clean function calls on your event handlers...if that makes sense (sorry, bit too sozzled at this point to expand on it ;) ) Patrick H.

Ack! Don't remove the unless you know what they do. CDATA is your
friend.
script type=text/javascript
!-- // ![CDATA[
function matchwo(a,b) {
if (a b a 0) return 1;
else return 0;
}
// ]] --
/script
The XML parser for your XHTML document will ignore anything in a CDATA
block, and a browser that doesn't understand the script tag will ignore
everything between the comments.
