Hi
Sean,
Interesting. Especially this
bit:
"For my new History Website redesign, I worked hard on creating a valid XHTML
1.0"
Allow
me to quote this from Simplebits a month ago...
D: Don’t use XHTML at
all.
Seriously though even if
I was silly enough to be using xHTML I’d go with B.
It’s hard for me to say
because I’ll never ever need to use XHTML."
I guess a lot can change in a month, but
nothing so drastically or as often as your opinions. Oh and by the way, I
think Jeffrey Zeldman was talking about you in his recent Daily Report where he
mentions a certain someone on the discussion boards of A List Apart. Not
exactly the recognition you seem to consistently crave, but good
job.

"Dad, I'm not saying I wrecked the CSS.....but I'm gonna need a new
stylesheet".
This is how I feel right now. For my new History Website
redesign, I worked hard on creating a valid XHTML 1.0 Transitional structure
consisting of semantic, organized markup. I validated tha markup and the CSS
(which didn't validate cuz I use -moz-box-sizing). I worked hard, and even
added a DOM-driven behaviour layer.
Opera 7.23 (IMHO, the best browser
ever) renders it beautifully, as I expected. Opera 7.23 rewards me for my hard
work, which is why I love it.
How does IE repay me? By not loading the
bloody stylesheet at all (it does load the external .js file though). Period.
Nein.
At first I though it was this:
@import
url('screenstyles.css') screen;
I use single quotes so IE5/Mac won't see
the stylesheet. But I switched to double quotes and still no luck. Removed the
screen; part. Nein. not yet. Removed the conditional comments for IE in the
head section: no, no, nein.
Almost all of my visitors use IE, and I
have less than two weeks to solve the problem.
CSS is an excellent
car, but IE is a broken muddy pothole-filled road.
Anyone know any
bugs that prevent IE from loading a stylesheet?
