[WSG] Foreign language issue

2010-01-21 Thread Tom Livingston
Hello list,

I am having an issue with a client regarding Chinese HTML pages/emails.

The client can see the page content correctly, but alt text for images
- on hover in IE8 - as well as page title text, are appearing as
little boxes. I don't get how the content is correct, but titles and
alts are not.

If anyone could educate me as to why this is occuring -  OFF-LIST -  i
would appreciate it.

Thanks a lot.

Marvin,

I see you fixed the paragraph before the body tag.

I'm re-validating your page and will send back some more tips.

Re: [WSG] my site

2010-01-21 Thread Joseph Taylor

Marvin,

As I send over items I notice - for now forget about HTML 4.01 or HTML 5 
and stay with XHTML for the moment.


Things to fix then get back to me:

Inside the div tag with the id of banner_new you have double break 
tags surrounding both the first level heading and the image. I see the 
same thing in the navigation area.


I'd rather see you use CSS to create those spaces.

For the heading element you could use this CSS:

div#banner_new h1 { margin: 20px 0; }

For the navigation:

div#navigation { margin: 20px 0; }

This would put a 20 pixel space at the top and bottom of the elements.

If you choose to leave the break tags in place (it's your call), you 
need to add the forward slash prior to closing the tag so they validate.


Try those changes and get back to me.

Re: [WSG] my site

2010-01-21 Thread Jayachandran Kandasamy
Hi Marvin,

I have highlighted the code below .. please avoid using br/ tags for the
line breaks please use some margin / padding to achieve the same in CSS

Avoid using the inline style with the markup tags itself..

Rest all looks fine buddy   :) :)

Please download this validator to your FF browser.. that will help you for
validating the markup ... so no need to depend on the people for the same...

http://www.totalvalidator.com there is addon available for FF browser too.

Heres your markup :)

Re: [WSG] css vallidation

2010-01-21 Thread Jayachandran Kandasamy
Hi Marvin,

Why there are several properties for the same selector and written twice ..
few of them repeating .. can you please optimise it ?
Try giving the background-color: transparent instead of
background:transparent and try out..

May be some problem with the validator
