Not harsh, just dogmatic in your views re the w3c and CSS, at times:)
That too. As you've been to some extent defending the table layout
method. From your posts though, I think you've got what it takes to join
us in some/most of those views. I don't think you've given CSS a chance
yet and if you truly have the artistic abilities, I'd sure like to see you
give it a chance and come up with some liquid creations. It's a whole new
type (ever changing) of canvas.
I may learn it someday. Is it much different from the embedded styles I'm
already using? Here's an example:
<style type="text/css">
<!--
body { font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;
font-style: normal; line-height: normal; font-weight: normal; font-variant:
normal; text-transform: none; color: #000000; text-decoration: none;
background-attachment: scroll; background-color: #FFFFFF}
p,blockquote,li ,ol,ul,td { font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; line-height: normal; font-weight:
normal; font-variant: normal; text-transform: none; color: #000000;
text-decoration: none}
a { font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;
font-style: normal; line-height: normal; font-weight: normal; font-variant:
normal; text-transform: none; color: #3333CC; text-decoration: none}
a:visited {font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;
font-style: normal; line-height: normal; font-weight: normal; font-variant:
normal; text-transform: none; color: #CC3300; text-decoration: none}
a:hover { font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;
font-style: normal; line-height: normal; font-weight: normal; font-variant:
normal; text-transform: none; color: #8000FF; text-decoration: underline}
..rightborder {
border-right: 1px solid #CCCCCC;
}
..leftborder {
border-left: 1px solid #CCCCCC;
}
-->
</style>
After looking at Google's code today & setting my IE text size to large (it
worked!), I thought I should drop defined font size completely & use +1
and -1. For other sizes specify in the style.
Is that a start? :)
I ran a page through the validator today under many DOC TYPES. It went from
one error in transitional to 93 errors in 3.2 and 233 errors in 2.0 (hope I
remembered that right). Made me think it'll take quite a while to learn the
new rules.
