RE: [WSG] Using CSS to select a tag having an ID attribute: page served as application/xhtml+xml
Sorry everyone, I just discovered what the problem was:
I have multiple style sheets and the browsers were only applying one,
not two as required, due to my misuse of the 'name' attribute of the
stylesheet instruction, as illustrated below.
This was incorrect:
?xml-stylesheet href=../../../Styles/Default.css type=text/css
alternate=no title=Default media=screen, projection?
?xml-stylesheet href=../../../Styles/Lesson.css type=text/css
alternate=no title=Lesson media=screen, projection?
?xml-stylesheet href=../../../Styles/Print.css type=text/css
alternate=yes title=Print media=print?
... as the 'name' attribute must be the same for all stylesheets that
you want the browser to apply by default using the cascade. The
following fixed the problem:
?xml-stylesheet href=../../../Styles/Default.css type=text/css
alternate=no title=Screen media=screen, projection?
?xml-stylesheet href=../../../Styles/Lesson.css type=text/css
alternate=no title=Screen media=screen, projection?
?xml-stylesheet href=../../../Styles/Print.css type=text/css
alternate=yes title=Print media=print?
As the 'title' attribute is optional you might be best leaving it out!
Kind regards,
Grant Bailey

Subject: [WSG] Using CSS to select a tag having an ID attribute: page
served as application/xhtml+xml
Hello,
I've recently started serving my web pages as xml pages using the MIME
type application/xhtml+xml rather than text/css as previously. This
works fine as my pages were already xhtml compliant, with one exception:
my external CSS stylesheets are no longer honoured by any browser to the
extent that they select ID attributes.
For example:
[XHTML]
div id=div_Heading
h1Survival: the basics/h1
/div
[CSS]
#div_Heading {
border: thin black solid;
}
If I serve my page as text/css the border appears as expected but when
the page is served as application/xhtml+xml, no border is visible. There
is only one ID named div_Heading in the document and the document itself
validates.
Could someone please advise me what might be going wrong as I have been
unable to find anything of assistance on the web or in the WSG forums.
Many thanks and regards,
Grant Bailey

Re: [WSG] Using CSS to select a tag having an ID attribute: page served as application/xhtml+xml
It might be that xml requires lowercase only and that the problem is the
H in the id div_Heading.

Re: [WSG] Using CSS to select a tag having an ID attribute: page served as application/xhtml+xml
I don't kow the answer to this question but I just wanted to clarify that XML
*does not* require lowercase only.
XML *is* case sensitive so that in XML p/P would not be valid, but p/p
and P/P are.
