Hello all
A new standards based and CSS designed site I recently completed is
soon to go live.
After much testing and tweaking I have fianlly managed to get the site
to look as it should on most browsers on PC, Mac, Unix and Linux
systems. The downside was that I had to use PHP (to detect browser/CSS)
and many CSS files which were tweaked - one for each browser on each
platform and it resulted in quite a few CSS files.
This was the only sensible approach/solution at the time.
I am just interested to know what other peoples views are on this? Im
sure many of you have had to do the same thing as no matter
how hard you try to limit the number of CSS files it just isnt
realistic at this present time.
Have any of you done similar things? Any alternative solutions that
worked or which were effective?
Please discuss.
Many thanks
Chris

If you want a similar rendering il most popular browser, I think it's the
only way.
You can create one single file for both Opera, Gecko, IE 5.5 and IE 6.
Then you'll need a separate file for KHTML-based browsers (Safari,
Konqueror, etc.) if you have a quite complex layout. Purists will always
find a way to have just one CSS file :)

It's an interesting idea. I've considering using this idea, but have
been able to hack around with CSS to get a *good enough* result in the
major browsers.

I would love to see the site that is so complex it needs several style sheets to
accomodate all kinds of browsers. What's the URL for a sneek preview of your
miracle site?

I was talking about the idea of using multiple CSS files for different
browsers. I said that I've been wanting to try it myself, but I'm
usually able to hack around some glitches in CSS to get what I want.

How will you know what browser I am using? No, I am not using
Internet Exploiter, and you will not be able to sniff what I *am*
using. What will your page do then?
Browser sniffing is doomed to failure.

Actually there is always a way to have just one CSS file for most
browsers. I've just done a page that renders fine in Opera, IE 5.5 & 6
Win, Mozilla, Konqueror and Firefox. I have only one CSS file, but it take
hell of a time to do the hacks. The whole page with the CSS file are 10KB.
A table-based version of the page is 18KB.

Worse yet, what will happen when you get the page from a cache server
instead of from the host server? Or does this browser sniffing business
mean the pages cannot be cached?
Browser sniffing is doomed to failure.
Indeed, it only creates problems, not solves them.

I agree, but what will happen when next year Microsoft releases IE7 with
the new release of Windows?
What if the box-model bug is solved and IE treats the box model properly?
Then the box model hack will turn web sites ugly? These are just some
thoughts...

HI everyone, lurking for a long time here, since I can usually solve my own

I've got a valid XHTML 1.0 Transitional layout, and all the CSS is valid as
well (plenty of warnings, but I'm not worried about that), and I'm making
use of the float property without any problems EXCEPT for one page (coloured

Hi,
I want to load an external javascript file, get its results and stick
them inside a <div> block. I also
want to do this in several places on a web page.
This way the browser doesn't have to wait for the external resource to
load to show up the page,
thus giving a perceiving faster load time for the user.

I understand how to comment C# source with XML comments, and generate these

There must be a set of available tools to then take all these XML files and
generate a fully formatted and indexed series of HTML files for access

Can someone provide some references??
Thanks

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
