Hi folks,
i'm so tired of doing css hack for Explorer on PC. I'm a freelancer and just get a eMac to test my works on Mac navigator ...
And, again, i've got to deal with Explorer ... the fu**ing blue icon have brainwashed the world. Great new navigator have born, but the problem is to tell anybody to used Firefox. Hope that 2005 will be good!
Ok so my problem, a Explorer Mac problem, is that i've used background: #CCCCCC; for my <td> but no background color appear on my page. Did someone have seen that problem before ?
Also, a comment for that forum: why can we enter 3 characters words on the search page, we can't do search for div, mac, php, all this little term?
turbwell one dont use tables and most smart people have FireFoxOne I used table 'cause creating complex structure with div right now (many problem with some browser, like explorer) is hard when you want pixel perfect site, and take double time just to create css hack. Also, i'm a web designer first by passion but if I want to be able to survive form that, I need to make money too!
Two, i used Firefox. But when a client call me and tell me that there's a bug in Explorer, I can tell him "most smart people have FireFox" like you said. Wtih project budjet of 5000-10000$, i've got to create multi-browser site.
Also, you've got to do with the visitor navigator, my client stat tell me that 80% of his visitor used Explorer so Explorer is a bad browser, but it make part of my reality...Lakers01, is it perfectly legal to use tables. However, the misuse of tables, such as for layout purposes, is incorrect. I just wanted to point that out; it would be a good idea if you often mentioned that to avoid any kind of confusion.
Turb, what is the exact code you have for your TD? Is it similar or identical to the following?
<td style="background-color: #CCCCCC;">
Concerning your searching issue, Turb, try using the wildcard character (the asterisk "*" symbol) after a three-letter word. Words less than three characters (letters or numbers) in length are stripped from the search because there are many, many combinations of three or less letters that could be part of a number of words. For example, if you searched for "ant," you may receive numerous results which match words such as "antagonize, antecedent, anti-social," and many others.Thank alot Jona!
i'll now used wildcard "*" for my search term!
For the table issue, I konw that table isn't supposed to be used for layout. I used to create layout with div with strict XHTML doctype, but that's too much problem for me now. I'll wait for IE7 but right now, I prefer using table. I'm doing the transition while popular doing the same ...
BUT TABLE ISN'T SUPPOSED TO BE USED FOR LAYOUT
And for my css problem, including STYLE tag resolved my problem but is there another way of doing it 'cause I hate putting css into page. Here's one of my TD style that wont work in IE Mac:
.dark_xx { width: 11px; background-color: #333333; }
turbOk! it seem that Explorer Mac have problem understanding some css style when using:
<style type="text/css" media="screen">@import "style.css";</style>
I've copied all the problem style inside the page:
<style type="text/css">
<!--
.full { margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 720px; }
.soft { background: #DCEBF9; text-align: center; }
.dark { background: #336699; text-align: center; }
.grey { background: #D7D7D7; text-align: center; }
-->
</style>
and now it's working well!
turbGlad you got it figured out. Netscape 4.x also does not understand the "@import" rule of CSS2. I hope that you can use this to your advantage (check out more information on this in the archives of StopDesign.com's log files) and help you organize your files as well.
