Dear all,
my question is concerning the following html page: http://www.omeganet.de/test/test.shtml
Could anybody tell me why the text input box (the fourth element) is
wider than the other elements if the page is displayed in IE6 and
latest Mozilla? If displayed in Opera, the input box is as wide as the
other elements - as it should be.
Thank you very much,
Peter 15 10535

It's rude to ask people to spend time investigating problems with a
page before you've got it to pass validation.

Sounds like the usual box-model issue, but I'm unwilling to look
closer till validation has been sorted out.
If displayed in Opera, the input box is as wide as the other elements - as it should be.
"Should" it? I would reserve judgment on that.
I'd recommend using visible borders etc. so that you can see how the
box model is working. My own notes on that are here http://ppewww.ph.gla.ac.uk/~flavell/...yout-diag.html
But the first priority would be to sort out the validation issues.
And then the usual litany, for pages intended for the WWW:
- don't specify font sizes in pt units (use em or percent)
- don't include verdana in font specifications
- if you specify a background colour then specify a text colour
*at the same specificity*, and vice versa. I.e always specify
either both together, or neither.
In short, you would get better results by reading this group before
posting to it.

It's rude to tell that to people the way you do... and I find it is typical
for this newsgroup.
What you mean is this; Peter; sort this out first; http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=ht...%2Ftest%2Ftest

Then why are you (AJF) posting at all?

Good idea, but Alan's point still stands. Validation of HTML source can be
performed by a machine whose "intelligen ce" couldn't even hope to come up
to that of an orangutan. And that means that asking apes who evolved more
recently than orangutans (e.g. humans) to debug invalid HTML is in fact
rather insulting. This is a forum populated by volunteers whose time isn't
free. Those of us who are willing to offer advice do so with the
understanding that all problems that could be detected by someone with less
intelligence than the average human have in fact been detected and
corrected. Believe it or not, that amounts to nothing more than treating
typical humans with respect; it would be awfully disrespectful to assume
that a poster was incapable of validating his HTML. An old song by the
Staples Singers comes to mind...

That's what he said. In his own way.
There are rules to Usenet. One is, read the group through before posting.
Get to know what's expected before you ask for help. In probably 20% of
the help threads here on my server, someone didn't validate, and I know
that in many cases that can be the cause of the problem.
Another rule is to accept that people who are experts in answering
questions diplomatically aren't always experts in the topic, and vice
versa. Alan knows his stuff, and that's one reason this ng is so useful.
But he's not an expert in answering questions nicely. That's not what we
need here.
You cannot say Alan is wrong. He's dead nuts right. Without valid code you
cannot expect to discover the root of a problem.
While I agree that people in general need to be more gentle in the way
they go through life, that doesn't mean that we disallow a little
frustration from somebody who's a real prize around here because someone's
asking for help with broken code. In this case, I agree with Alan - it's
not time to ask the questions yet. Read the ng, see if anything you find
here helps, and then and ONLY then ask for help.
It seems "MH" wrote in comp.infosystem s. www.authoring.html in
article <bt**********@n ews1.tilbu1.nb. home.nl>: It's rude to ask people to spend time investigating problems with a page before you've got it to pass validation.
It's rude to tell that to people the way you do... and I find it is typical for this newsgroup.
Then I suggest you are entitled to a refund of 200% of the money you
have paid.
If you don't like the help you get here, then don't let the door
bang you in the ass on the way out. Otherwise, accept the fact that
you don't have any right to have others do your work for you; but on
the other hand if you show a sincere effort to understand you'll
have people falling over themselves to be helpful.
If that's too complicated, try this: It's _really_ stupid to insult
people when asking them to do you a favor.

Dear all,
the people who told me to sort out validation first are right, and I
agree.
I knew this rule and followed it, but I have put the wrong file
online... I started the experiment (on local machines) with the file I
put online, then validated it and corrected the errors, and then put
the first version online - very intelligent, indeed. So please accept
my apologies.
Regarding the reproach of not having read the group: I have grouped
and googled, but I had no luck in finding a solution which makes the
input "controls" the same width in Opera, Mozilla and IE (the latest
versions).
So, as now the validated file without errors is online, again the
question: Any ideas how to achieve this?
Thank you very much,
