Hi, I did some "quick and dirty" use of HTML 3.2 to get some of this
stuff layed out, right now I'm working on XHTML-izing it.
However some other issues have arose, that I am unable to figure out
....
1. Space between certain divs and not others - This is happening with
both Mozilla base and IE based browsers. It seems to happen when I put
a <p> tag @ the beginning of the div. Example URL: http://forksdrumcloset.com/new_repair.php
2. Drop-down menu in Mozilla based browsers - It seems as though the
text in the drop-down menu is out of the cell. This happened when I
took the JS out of the HTML and made it an external file. Example URL: http://forksdrumcloset.com
3. Centering a fixed width layout - I want to use XHTML to center this
layout, however I don't want to have to make hacks, more so than the
table I'm already using. Same example URL as before.
Thanks for any help you might have. 5  1563  to*******@gmail .com wrote: I did some "quick and dirty" use of HTML 3.2 to get some of this

That's sounds unfortunate. Now you'll have to fix what you just created.
Your first step in creating a www document should be honestly marking up
the content. Then look at it in a browser and decide what you want to
change in the default layout as created by the browser.
right now I'm working on XHTML-izing it.
Short answer: stop, and use HTML strict instead.

Validation errors.
http://validator.w3.org/check?verbos...new_repair.php
Was I supposed to fix those for you, then give you the corrected code?
Is my time worth so little to you that you couldn't be bothered to fix
markup errors before asking here?
Thanks for any help you might have.
My advice: read the group for a few weeks before jumping in with both
feet, and learn what causes problems in so many others' sites
(inappropriate content type and invalid markup are recurring themes here).

Wow, not helpful right now. right now I'm working on XHTML-izing it.

I was making a statement there, but I'm staying in XHTML sorry.
Validation errors.

I'm well aware of those, they are being worked on, I have 4 weeks, and
top priority's are Asthetics. I am only looking for help in those 3
areas listed.

Right now you have a badly broken site, esthetics should be the last of
your worries. Come back when you are willing to learn how to fix the
real problems.

To quote Mark Parnell, "This is Usenet. It is a discussion group, not a
helpdesk. You post something, we discuss it. If you have a question and
that happens to get answered in the course of the discussion, then great.
If not, you can have a full refund of your membership fees."

No need to apologize to me. But you might want to apologize to your
visitors if they cannot access your XHTML.

All the more reason for you to have fixed them *before* asking why it
doesn't work.

Asthetics.
Then your priorities are mixed up. Aesthetics don't matter if the
content is not there.

That's nice. Now fix the validation errors as I said, and if you're
still having problems, feel free to come back here and ask.
My advice: ...

And your point is...? The is not the helpdesk, in case you were confused.
I've been reading this group a long time.
Then you should have known better. You've wasted your time asking about
a page that is not valid.
... Unfortunate, I used to post unhelpful reponses like this in 1996

I don't pretend to know "everything ", or even a great deal, about HTML.
In fact, that is precisely why you should validate first. How can I
solve the problem with so many variables. Is it a browser bug? a bug in
your HTML? I certainly don't know. See the Dive Into Mark acticle.
Good luck.

I've got a table with some datetime fields in it.
One field (call it field 1) is of the form mm/dd/yyyy and the other two

I'm getting the difference between field 2 and 3 using (datediff(ms,

Hi,
Will any one suggest a way for implementing the line graphs in
various browsers without compatability issues.
I mean canvas can be used in Mozilla FireFox 1.5 for drawing
objects but where as it is not supported in other browers like IE and
Netscape. Similarly IE can use VML for drawing objects where as
Netscape and Mozilla wont.
With Regards

Hello all,
General question for back-end database that has numerous date fields where
the database will be used in regions that put the month first, and regions
that do not.
Should I save a date format in the table design, such as: mm/dd/yyyy?
What I've done for years is to store the date format in date fields, then on
the forms, based on their region, I would set the date formats on form_load

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
