The new Scottish Parliament building has finally opened for business, and to complement the opening comes a reworking of the Parliament's website, http://www.scottish.parliament.uk/ Unfortunately, the new website is most definitely unCool.

Hi, I am using history.go(-1) for implementing the back button functionality. Its working fine but with this exception. 1. The page which is having back button has some hyperlinks on it. 2. When anybody click on those links, it will open a new windown.

I'm trying to do something seemingly very simple, but it's brought me close to crushing my head on the keyboard. All I want is a table where the head row is fixed and the body columns below are scrollable (with the ordinary scrollbars, no less). Whatever I try, the columns in the head and the body aren't aligned; the widths are computed...

Though I have designed and implemented a number of large reasonably well received web sites I do not consider myself a graphics designer I am now for the first time going to work with a graphics designer. I notice that in the draft design the idea will be that many 'pages' will in fact be pdf files. I suppose I exaggerate slightly but the...

Hi I am making a tab menu with css, and the tabs changes color depending on wich tab is current. 1. I could load a different css file for each tab/color. 2. I could do some inline css only for the color of the tabs. (which I would then change with trough php). 3. I could make a different class for each color, and change the class of the...

Hello all, I'm somewhat of a newbie to webscripting. I've made a couple of websites in the past with WYSIWYG software, but now I'm much more interested in manual scripting. I have some questions about DOCTYPE: 1. Is a doctype statement *required*, or is it just "strongly suggested"? I would probably be using a Transitional doctype. 2....

Hello. In trying to get an anchor element to stylistically match an input or button element, I find that the button and input cannot be styled according to the 2.1 CSS spec. For example, I expected this ruleset: ..but { display: block; background-color: red; font-size: 14px; text-decoration: none; line-height: 16px; width: auto; height:...

Hi all, apologies if this seems like a pretty basic question - but can an element have more than one class? if so, how do you set them ? and how does the browser give priority to a class over another ?

If I am trying to achieve space in a webpage, what is the best way to do it. For example if I were looking to create space between two horizontal rules, I could do this: <hr /> <br> <br> <br> <hr /> or this: <hr /> <pre>

The OL tag still allows for a START value, but that is now deprecated. I've found sound references that suggest the proper technique now is to control it with a style for the OL in quetion, but I haven't been able to find the proper reference. What I actually want is an ordered list that counts down to one. Are negative increments even...

Hello - I'm working on a team that is planning to add Welsh language support to a large existing IT system which is partially web-based and English-language-only so far. I've heard that 2 characters in Welsh (w-circumflex and y-circumflex) are not supported in our default ISO-8859-1 character set, so a partial move to Unicode for internal...

There's a new beta of the W3C Markup Validation Service now live at <URL:http://validator.w3.org:8001/> Probably the most important change is verbose output, including attempts to explain the validator errors. Other changes include improved display of error messages, and a choice of parse modes. Currently - but probably not for long - it...

After doing a websearch, it appears that it's OK to omit the "http:" to form a relative URL. Are there any pitfalls to this? For example, if there is a page http://www.domain1.com/page1.html with a link to http://www.domain2.com/page2.html you can abbreviate the second link as //www.domain2.com/page2.html
