This does not happen if I remove the style element, making the issue CSS-related, but the basic issue is markup. a href=Link1span //a - - It doesn't crash if I am explicit with span/span According to the XHTML 1.0 specification, you should not use span / but span/span. More generally, in XHTML 1.0, the tagname / construct should be used if and only if the element's content model is EMPTY, i.e. no content is ever allowed by the syntax rules. Ref.: http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/#guidelines (Technically, Appendix C is informative, not normative; but the XML 1.0 specification says: For interoperability, the empty-element tag SHOULD be used, and SHOULD only be used, for elements which are declared EMPTY. Ref.: http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#sec-starttags ) What happens on IE is that the / in span / is ignored, treating it as the lone start tag span. If you remove the / characters, IE 7 still crashes. (IE does not understand XHTML. If you send XHTML to it labelled as text/html, it will treat it as HTML, or rather the same way it treats HTML.) It doesn't crash if I only have 1 link. I guess IE gets confused when it sees two span tags with no end tag for either of them, though only when you ask it to apply your style sheet. Is span / illegal? Not in XHTML, but it should not be used in any context where your document might be processed by old HTML browsers like IE. Why would this crash IE7? Who knows what really happens? But basically you have (when your document is processed as HTML) two elements that need end tags but don't have them, so it's not surprising that IE crashes when there are style sheets to be applied to them. -- Jukka Yucca Korpela, http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/ __ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7 information -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
Re: [css-d] span / crashing IE7
Well I don't know, I made few tests of putting proper tags except closing of span /. It still crashes... But if u remove you `!DOCTYPE html` declaration, it works well then.

[css-d] span / crashing IE7
My IE7 crashes if I look at the following source:
!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC -//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN
http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd;
html
head
titleCrashes IE7/title
style
a { position: relative;}
a span{position: absolute;}
/style
/head
body
a href=Link1span //a
a href=Link2span //a
/body
/html
It doesn't crash if I am explicit with span/span
It doesn't crash if I only have 1 link.
Is span / illegal? Why would this crash IE7?

Re: [css-d] span / crashing IE7
What is the point of a span if it is not spanning anything?

The trailing slash only closes empty/replaced elements. Agreed that an improperly closed span alone shouldn't cause a full-blown crash, but it may be the combination of the unclosed element and the attempt to style it with CSS that's making the browser choke. -- Craig, www.focalcurve.com __ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7 information -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
