RE: [WSG] why doesn't this validate with w3c.org and what to do about it
If you will insert a space between each * and your text, the validator will
like it.

is this CSS inline or included in a file?
If it's included in a file, the w3c validator won't mind at all. If its
inline then the validator might not like it.
No personal experience - just a hunch...

RE: [WSG] Redundant Code
Hi, Sarah- I printed out your test site because I thought it was so very clean and attractive and I wanted to study your use of styles in creating it. However, the page is wider than my printer's page size so some text is lost along the left side. For instance, Checkout in the navigation bar is cut off as is Contact. I see you have set the container width at 760px. Does anyone know what is the maximum number of pixels for page width in order to avoid truncating the text along the left side of a print job? Even Microsoft's support pages suffer from this same problem . . . really maddening when trying to solve a technical problem. Thanks for your help.

RE: [WSG] QeenBee Site Check Please!!! (WITH URL)
I visited your site using IExplorer v 6.0 and find that your Category 5 link jumps from the intended line to a line below the other Category Link depending on the size of my window when resolution is at 1024 X 768. Everything else looks great! Hope this helps.

RE: [WSG] Feedback on a new website developed very quickly
Using IE 6.0 and resolution on Windows at 1024 X 768, I get a horizontal scroll bar on Help Overseas, Help in Australia, Overseas Aid, and Tsunami Information. Hope this helps. Mary Ann -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Anura Samara Sent: Friday, December 31, 2004 9:20 PM To: wsg@webstandardsgroup.org Subject: [WSG] Feedback on a new website developed very quickly I'd be really grateful for some feedback from you all on a new site I've had to develop very, very quickly. The website is TsunamiAssist - http://www.tsunamiassist.gov.au. It is meant to give an overall view of the Government's response to the tsunami disaster, with links to other sites with more information. I developed this site extremely quickly - basically overnight, with some extra time devoted to our people checking the content which was basically written by me too! I have only checked it out on IE5.5 and Firefox, the only two browsers on my laptop. The XHTML and CSS validates, and it seems to do OK in some accessibility checking tools I used. Because I had to work so fast, I didn't have any time to hunt out my normal resources - books, etc - and I know I failed at some things and can't for the life of me remember how to do them. They include: 1. How do you get IE to handle font sizes in tables properly? I have set the font-size in the BODY to 76% but of course IE renders the text in any subsequent TDs back up to 100%. I know this can be fixed but don't want to resort to a hack. 2. I have run into a problem with 100% width DIVs inside other DIVs. Depending on which way I code it, either IE or Firefox expands the containing DIV out to be wider than the screen when I put a 100% wide DIV inside the containing DIV. What exactly is the right way to specify widths of DIVs to get this to happen. Of course, this also rears its head when a 100% wide table is inserted in the containing DIV. Again, I could fix this with a hack but don't really want to. Of course, any other comments or suggestions about the site are more than welcome; of course, content is really not in my hands as others are now writing and approving it. I will be periodically updating the site during the weekend as the situation changes, so if you have any suggestions I will try to fix the site up along the way - and if you find a problem, a solution would be really handy too! Thanks for you help. If I don't respond quickly, it's just because I am taking some time to look away from a screen for a while.

RE: [WSG] Shedding Holiday Pounds
Hi, Chris- I'm getting some really strange results using IE 6.0. Directly below your quick time window, there is another white (empty) window of the same size. The remainder of your text starts directly below that and is, therefore, pushed below the bottom of your background graphic.
