You've hit the nail on the head with parsing, but development (coding lines), wise innerHTML is a useful hack as you say. 'Tis a pity that loadXML is at document level rather than executable at node. MSIE XML data islands were not bad for that and in closed environments a real timesaver (I'v

Re: [WSG] IE Issue: focus not set on image buttons within a floated div

Is it not due to IE not using :focus like other browsers? To get it to accept :focus on buttons, you'd need to use javascript. A bit hard to tell though without seeing any code or a link. On Wed, 04 Oct 2006 04:26:32 +1000, Ruiz, Kevin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: I have two image buttons that

[WSG] IE Issue: focus not set on image buttons within a floated div

I have two image buttons that are not displaying a focus indicator in IE...this works fine in Firefox. The culprit seems to be the fact that both are within a div that's floating. Does anyone know a way around this. My client has made an issue of the fact that a user cannot see a visual indi

Nice article.one comment (from the article you linked to): What's wrong with innerHTML? A few things: It's not a standard. It's a proprietary property that Microsoft introduced (along with the less >>popular outerHTML) that the other browser makers picked up. Ummwasn't our beloved Xm

[WSG] Getting the layout to work and with all browsers

Hi there. I'm looking to adopt a drop-down menu theme on my site. I've got most of it sorted, but there's still a few teething problems. If you look at www.camieabz.co.uk for an example of the existing navigation tabs first (no drop-down). The testsite link is www.camieabz.co.uk/menutest/in

I'm using project seven's pop menu magic http://www.projectseven.com/products/menusystems/pmm/index.htm on a site with XHTML strict doctype. This causes IE to come up with a yellow bar saying it is blocking active content - click to ..etc. This is not acceptable to the client. When I change

Your syntax is correct, and if you've got the values right it'll work fine in IE6 (and IE5+ win). Ref: An IE-expression is by definition: proprietary, non-valid, CSS - you can't make it valid. Nevertheless; IE-expressions belong in CSS, and n

Hi Germ, i must have the syntax wrong - just tried that and it stopped IE working in addition to still being invalid CSS. Was your whole CSS like this: #outer_wrapper {     max-width: 800px; } * html div#outer_wrapper {width: 800px /* fallback value */; width:_expression_((document.document

Re: [WSG] Max-width issues

Put the max-width expression in an IE-only stylesheet served up with conditional comments. That way there's no need for the Holly Hack (in fact, it's best to put anything that requires the Holly Hack in an IE-only stylesheet) and your CSS will validate OK too. On Tue, 03 Oct 2006 18:29:08 +

[WSG] Max-width issues

Good Morning All, I am having a bit of a problem with the old 'max-width' issue in IE and would like to know your thoughts on the subject. If I add this to my style sheet: #outer_wrapper { max-width: 800px; } Then I am fine in FF but not in IE - in IE the outer container just keeps stret
