Hello,
I am not very familiar with the ins and outs of CSS. I'm a software
developer, i'm used to programming languages and try to pretend i know
what i'm doing with html, but this css stuff is news to me. I'm trying
to architect a pretentious personal page, but i can't figure out how to
get the page to render correctly in Ie. the page is at
http://blunx.no-ip.com/jason/muchbetter/front.html and the stylesheet is
http://blunx.no-ip.com/jason/muchbetter/stylesheet.css ..
if you view the page in firefox you will see something very pretty, but
IE totally disregaurds my attempts to make the content contained within
a bounded div box. Additionally IE doesnt wan't to render the bounding
box for the same general content area in full size, instead it just
renders the box as needed for a simple " " rendered within the box.
i have a feeling fixing these two problems will be a good starting point
for the long agonizing road towards well-written css that works on both
browsers.
i have tried some other tricks, but have not saved my works in progress
while testing because none of the trick seemed to render properly in
either browser. a friend once told me of some difference between classes
with periods in front of them such as ".periodclass" rather than pound
signs in front such as "#poundclass", but when i try to put pound signs
in front of the classes it seems to make no difference or break things
worse.
can someone help me figure out the problems listed and perhaps guide me
to a great starting resource for css? all i have at this point is
w3schools and the numerous examples shown on this mailing list's wiki,
hacking together the jumbled css i have thus far from examples is
obviously not helping me much :)
- jason
