In a text, I might want to include a foreign language term. In print, this is typically shown with italics. For instance (asterisks represent italics): 'I thought it was only a kind of *cram,* such as the Dale-men make for journeys in the wild,' said the Dwarf. 'So it is,' they answered. 'But we call it *lembas* or waybread, and it is more...

Hi! Okay, so positions on "text/html" XHTML are totally contradicting. Anyway! I hope there's more consensus about "application/xml" XHTML. I've recently learned that Opera 9.0b2 does not only evaluate HTTP header, BOM and XML declaration to determine the character encoding of an XHTML document sent as "application/xml", but also the...

I'm about to publish (what's the web equivalent of "reprint"?) an old paper article, whose heading is in this font: <http://www.flickr.com/photos/pigsonthewing/2446437162/> Can anyone kindly suggest a similar font suitable for use in CSS (I'll make sure something less fancy is specified as a fallback). Thank you.

I am experimenting with CSS since 2001. As I moved from frame based sites to CSS sites, I realized that the major drawback of CSS is that you cannot anymore have your header, manu, footer and content panes in different files, but you have to *repeat* them in *each* page you do. If I have to change any common section, I have to apply the change...

Cross-posted to: comp.infosystems.www.authoring.html and alt.html Followup-to: comp.infosystems.www.authoring.html 1- One day, I stumbled across a website that offers to validate webpages. What was really special about that site is that the validation service was available in Russian, German, Spanish and English. Now, I can't find this site...

A web page can be created using either strict or transitional HTML. The DOCTYPE for strict is: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"> And transitional: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"

I was just chating with a few webdevelopers and it was brought to my attention that I need some type of server technology installed on my computer so I could get a visual of how my sites would look on the web. I'm completely new to the server technology stuff and don't need anything expensive - only for testing purposes and so other web...

As usual, it looks right in Firefox 3 but not in IE6. See http://www.tc3.edu/instruct/sbrown/nicholls/indexgood.htm for the desired behavior -- when you hover over the second or third main menu item, a submenu appears and an item can be selected. (The links don't go anywhere.) This works in FF and IE. The style sheet is...

On my web page, I have a few hyperlinks with target frame of _blank. The hyperlink brings up a second window, but everytime I click on thie hperlink, it keeps bringing up a new window and not defaulting the the first active window. How do I make a hyperlink point to the active window? I don not want the hyperlink to default to the same page. I...

Why would anyone ever have expected a content-type META tag to be effective at all? Is it because someone was misled by the happenstance the letters of the alphabet, the digits, and the characters {< > / ; , " ' =} happen to be at the same locations in several particular common encodings (US-ASCII, ISO-8859-1, etc.)? Even assuming that...

I was asked to find some documentation which explains how to develop a website using DIV's and CSS, instead of TABLES. This is to explain to the people we outsource things to, how we want it done. I dug around alistapart but couldn't find anything complete enough. I searched through the W3C, but could only find the standards, not how to...

"Now is the time for all good web developers to use stylesheets". Hmm OK, so I start this commercial site design with the express intent of using CSS entirely. (Something I haven't attempted in about 3 years since I last wasted my time trying to get it to work). The site layout is intended to look (nearly precisely) like this from the...

Could someone cite some offical rule or documentation with regard to the <P> tag? I've seen folks put it in between paragraphs... and others wrap it around a paragraph. I'd think to use it effectively, it'd have to be wrapped, correct? Thanks, - Michael

CSS Experts: OK, I'm a stupid newby. Now, here's the question: Can CSS replace slightly complicated Tables and work in three browsers (e.g. MSIE 6.0, Net 7.1, Op 7.03) ? After countless attempts I've concluded "no". Thank you,

http://risky-biz.com/new/risky.html I finally got DSL service recently, but I haven't forgotten the agony of waiting for the 64th image to load before I can see ANYTHING on a page. So I will keep to the antiquated notion of designing pages that load quickly. Toward that end I have always used text links. But I like the look of buttons as...

I am surprised that no one has yet developed an HTML variant which uses abbreviated tagging. Maybe they have, I dunno. HTML is very verbose - this was important to its adoption, as reading source from existing pages is one of the fastest ways to learn it - and descriptive clear tagging is key to that. However, there is an argument for a...

Hello, does anybody know how to turn off the autocomplete feature for a certain text field? I am aware of the "autocomplete" attribute, but I have seen other implementions achieving it without any such attribute and am wondering whether there is another way to do it .... like via CSS or a naming convention or .......
