Re: HTML Compliance

Post #378 by admin 6/28/01 9:37:47 PM Reply	Re: HTML Compliance The HTML looks fairly clean. A couple of minor discrepancies. It actually has been run through the validator, believe it or not. :-) 1. Meta Element for defeating DumbTags. I'm not sure, but I think HTML likes for the Meta tags to be contained within the HEAD tags. Right now you have it preceding the HTML tag. Fixed. Thanks for pointing that out; my bad. 2. TD Color Attributes: You left out the # sign for the color attributes in the TD tags (color & bgcolor). Which page, specifically? 3. Non well formed font closing. Near the bottom of the page, you have an extra /FONT closing tag (THEY[/font].org[/font]). Fixed, thanks for spotting that one. Of course, the real trick in the long term is to validate the compliance of html tags that are entered by the user. :-) It already is, for the most part. Some of the nittier things (like the # for color attributes, etc) aren't handled, but it won't allow unclosed tags and the like. Regards, -scott anderson

On the main page that has the links to all the various forums. It occurs a couple of times - here's the first one. <td bgcolor="666666" colspan="4" align="center"><font color="FFFFFF">Welcome</font></td>

Post #419 by jb4 6/29/01 10:27:58 AM Reply	How about size attributes? Got the collor stuff working, but the size attributes are not being done yet (at least, not in the comment area)... This test used the {font size=1} tag This text used the {font size=8} tag (of course, the {'s should be <'s...) jb4 (Resistance is not futile...)

Post #435 by jake123 6/29/01 11:51:07 AM Reply	Suggestion re: font size Please please please use relative sizes... -1, -2, +1 +2. That leaves the font size relative to the font size selected by the user in their browser. This is much friendlier to the user... -- ---------------------------------------------------------- * Jack Troughton jake at jakesplace.dhs.org * * [link\|http://jakesplace.dhs.org\|[link\|http://jakesplace.dhs.org\|http://jakesplace.dhs.org]] [link\|ftp://jakesplace.dhs.org\|[link\|ftp://jakesplace.dhs.org\|ftp://jakesplace.dhs.org]] * * Montr\ufffdal PQ Canada [link\|news://jakesplace.dhs.org\|news://jakesplace.dhs.org] * ----------------------------------------------------------
