linked stylesheet strange behavior

aamirghanchi

Hi,

I have a very simple html that has a linked stylesheet. According to
the style sheet both blocks of text should be displayed in the font
xx-small. but only one (DIV or SPAN) at a time is displayed in this
font and that would be the one that is at the end of the stylesheet
file. for example if DIV selector is the last block in MyStylesheet.cs s
then the corresponding text in the DIV tag in the html will be small
font. If we swap the spaces of div and span in the styleshet then the
corresponding tag in the span tag in the html will be small
_______________ _______________ _______________ ___
MyStylesheet.cs s
/*************** */
<style>

span {
font-size : xx-small;
}
div {
font-size : xx-small;
}
</style>

_______________ _______________ _______________ ____
Test.htm

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet " type="text/css" href="HighResol ution.css" />

<title>test.htm </title>

</head>

<body>

<div>this text is in DIV</div>
<span>this text is in SPAN</span>
</body>
</html>

The above <style> and the </style> must be removed from your
stylesheet. The validator would have told you this.
span {
font-size : xx-small;
}
div {
font-size : xx-small;
}
Consider using percentages instead of keywords for sizing. Some
browsers do not recognize them. For example:
span.small { font-size: 80%; }
</style>

You don't want the above line in your HTML.
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet " type="text/css" href="HighResol ution.css" />

<title>test.htm </title>

</head>

<body>

<div>this text is in DIV</div>
<span>this text is in SPAN</span>
A <span> is an inline element, should not be a child of <body> but
should be within a <div> or a <p> or other block-level element.
</body>
</html>

Post a URL to your problem page.

I find it rather ironic that you are using such a teensy font-size for a
"high resolution" stylesheet. I take it you don't want your visitors to
be able to read it, eh? ;)

Hi Beauregard,

...The validator would have told you this. the problem was indeed the <style> tags in the css file. Sorry no
validator ...I am using notepad.
... Some browsers do not recognize them This web app is targetted for an intranet app and our staff use only
one browser type.
...You don't want the above line in your HTML I created this example on the fly. It is a very simple example of a
complex page.
... <span> is an inline element, should not be a child of <body ...

Hi Beauregard,

Good morning.

...The validator would have told you this.

the problem was indeed the <style> tags in the css file. Sorry no
validator ...I am using notepad.

http://www.htmlhelp.com/tools/csscheck/ Copy your file into the
proper text box. Your choice of editor doesn't matter.

... [size words] Some browsers do not recognize them

This web app is targetted for an intranet app and our staff use
only one browser type.

Still ... it pays to use good habits all the time. Oh, in future, be
sure to state if your question is not for www.

...You don't want the above line in your HTML

I created this example on the fly. It is a very simple example of a
complex page.

This is why it is always a good idea to post your problem page on a
server somewhere, so we can see a working example, with some sort of
content.

Something very strange is going on here. I don't know if it's a C problem or an implementation problem. The program reads data from a file and loads it into two arrays.

Furthermore, the crashes occur only when xlist and ylist are free()ed. When the above variables are doubles and the calls to free() are...
