Sapienti sat, but OK:
"Given your own position on relevant issues demonstrated in many
previous discussions: given that you current surprise seems to me a
bit artificial."
Other words: if one was getting furious on each deprecated or
semantically incorrect HTML/CSS usage, then why is this person being
surprised to see OP not daring to use a deprecated attribute, whatever
benefits would be?

OK, sorry, I was in a grumpy mood earlier.
I think the answer to your puzzlement lies in understanding that
some things are even more infuriating than others. It is
infuriating to see someone blindly trying to follow some rules at
the cost of great impracticality given their skills. On the other
hand, it is also infuriating to see someone making little effort
to follow good practice. The way these things play out in
practice and the reactions to them is not a neat simple business
with simple rules. We are in an inferno here and JK is just
negotiating the fires.

>Thus, I repeat my question: Why do people take great pains in avoiding such
simple presentational markup, on pages that otherwise suffer from divitis,

I dare to say for the same reason why instead of for instance:
<table width="100%">
<tr>
<td width="10%">Lef t content</td>
<td width="80%">Cen ter content</td>
<td width="10%">Rig ht content</td>
<tr>
</table>
they are spending hours and days for some twisted div agglomerations
followed by huge stylesheets where 90% are different UA-specific
tricks and workarounds. Truly the amount of online resources about div-
based table layouts now allows to publish a 1000-page scientific
volume :-) Yet every single "universal solution" I tested so far
reminds me a domino tower: it falls apart on the slightest push - that
besides the fact that the layout functionality is still below the one
provided by a few lines above.
If you think it takes hours and huge stylesheets and twisted div then
you are probably being a code monkey and over-complicating your markup.
Yes, it is pretty simple to layout 3 vertical columns that way with a
table. But that initial perceived simplicity can really bite you in the
backside if you decide to change your layout from three columns side by
side to one along the top followed by two side by side, or all vertical
top middle and bottom, AND the site is 100+ pages. Your "simple' table
layout would require a complete rewrite of all said pages whereas if
done properly via CSS that change can be make by editing one stylesheet.
In addition restricting your markup to structure and content and using
CSS for the presentation your can offer alternated styles for the same
pages. An example would be a simplified styling with large high-contrast
text and linear layout for the visually impaired...maki ng your site
more accommodating.

Take care,

Hi at all,
I have a little problem about position:absolute.
I want to position absolutely a menu bar.
if I write:
menubar {position: absolute;top:5.2em;}
with MSIE the menu bar is too height on the screen and is right on FireFox
elseif I write
menubar {position: absolute;top:100px;}
the menu bar is right with NSIE and not with FF
How can I do to have a crossbrowser result of my menu var?

Please check out my javascript library that allows you to create any
layout for your web page, nested as deep as you like, adjusting to
width and height of a browser window. You just describe it in
javascript object and that's all. No need to know CSS hacks, no need
to clutter your html with tables.

Hi,
I am creating a table to list some data. The table is using a sorting and highlight function that I found from the net.
I can't attach image here, basically html will wrap the heading, therefore I notice the second line of the header is left align instead of centering. I believe it's because of the sort.htc script that will output an arrow when user click on the header to sort.
The code is as below:
<TABLE width="100%">

I've found that for IE6+, if you add the property text-align:center to a
DIV, then *anything* inside it gets centered. That can be a table, an
object/embed, another DIV, an image, or some text.
Firefox and Safari on the other hand don't treat text-align in that way.
In my tests on those browsers, they only centers images and text. Any
DIVs, object/embeds or tables remain default unaligned and generally
appear on the left.

Hi all,
This has got to be a dumb question, but... What is the CSS property that I
would use to center a table on the web page?
If I set the table's Align property in the VS 2008 property window it
inserts align="center" into the <tabletag, and I get a validation warning
that attribute 'align' is considered outdated. Ok, so I probably need to
use a CSS style to do the same thing. But I've dug through all of the
categories in the...

Hello folks,
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.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
