MSNTV - weird rendering

http://developer.msntv.com/Tools/MSNTVVwr.asp

The MSN TV debaucle...

I read in the CSS section of the above site (specifically, at
http://developer.msntv.com/Develop/CSS.asp) that it does not support
@import. Therefore, it should ignore all positioning, as NN4 does when it
ignores the @import rule, right? See
http://users.rcn.com/neal413/3coltest2.html for an example case.

So... why is it not degrading in the viewer? Is this a bug in the viewer,
an error in their help file, or something really stupid I'm missing? I've
written them about this, but welcome observations from you all as well.

Support for @import was added long ago, in v2.8. See

Ah, their page is in error then.

So what means are at our disposal to get MSNTV to ignore positioning,
because it clearly does a piss poor job of it?

Just a Note about that page... which has errors on it: hover is NOT
supported on the current MSNTV Browser!

FYI.... MSNTV is beta testing a "New" Internet Receiver at present, and
word from the MSNTV News Groups has it that it will be upgraded to at
least IE6 levels with full CSS2 support, and is expected to be released
early next year....

Cool! A browser with support for aural CSS. That's just amazing!
Maybe computer browsers will follow suit.

I have a question about text rendering I'm hoping someone here can answer. Is there a way of doing linguistically correct rendering of Unicode strings in Python? In simple cases like Latin or Japanese I can just print the string and see the correct results. However, I don't know how to get Python to do the right thing for writing systems which require contextual processing. For example, let's say I create this Unicode string in Arabic: ...

All: I have a control that renders a table. As the table is rendered, each row in the table is constructed by creating a run-time (dynamic) object that is derived from an HtmlTableRow. The row has three HtmlTableCell objects, and each cell contains a single control added to the HtmlTableCell's Controls collection. The basic table renders correctly, but the controls within the HtmlTableCell objects do not; the cells are just empty. (Just...

Since the idea of encoding mathematics using MathML is being very far from popular due to a number of factors -expensive tools, bad accesibility of generated code, unusual verbosity, lack of adequate support, special fonts, namespaces, special plugins, backward incompatiblity of MathML with other internet technologies, duplication of code, and others-, alternative encodings are spreading over the internet. Probably the most popular one...

Hello Everyone, I am trying to build a website where on click of a button, I am fetching some data from a web service (in code-behind) and displaying it using a repeater control. The repeater control is wrapped inside an UpdatePanel thus making it a partial page refresh as compared to full page refresh. Since I am using UpdatePanel control, the HTML is rendered at the server side and sent to the client's browser. It takes somewhere close...

Hi, I am using the following code to render a text string in a new bitmap file. The code works, but the text looks, well, crappy, even though I told it to use ClearType hints. Any idea how to make the text look nicer? Thanks Andy

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: 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,...
