I did this first (naively?) by using a ...
I need to build a form for data input, let's say FirstName and LastName. I know how to do this with a table. In the first <td> I'd put a label tag and in the second I'd use an input tag with a type="text" attribute. This way the labels and textboxes would be lined up in two columns. Is there a way to do this with CSS? Thanks Lars ...
I know it's wrong to put a block element inside an inline element, but what about the following? Imagine this valid markup: <div><p>This is a paragraph</p></div> Now add this CSS: div { display:inline; } This creates a situation where an inline element contains a block element (The div becomes inline and the p is block by defau...
EDIT: After re-reading my post I think I am being a little bit unclear about what the problem is. Let me try to re-phrase it: Users can leave comments on my site using a textarea field in a form. It should be possible to add line breaks in the comment using <br />. The comment is then stored as a string in a mysql-database (escaped to m...
I used to just use p and span elements for this... but I'm always pushing to use the right elements, and this is something I haven't really thought about before with regard to testimonials. This is what I had in mind <div class="testimonial"> <blockquote>i love your products</blockquote> <span>Jim Testimonial-giver</span> </div> Do...
I have a layout with a menu DIV on the left. This is floated left with a fixed EM width. I then have a content DIV which has a left margin of more than the menu's width. So it sits nicely to the right of the menu and fills up the remaining space with both menu and content lined up perfectly. However, in Internet Explorer 6, if the co...
Dear all What is the difference between the 2 lines shown below?: <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en-GB"> <meta http-equiv="content-language" content="en-GB" /> If i didn't have the meta tag, what would be the consequence? Does the meta one affect screen readers and the top one not? I'm a bit confused as to wha...

I can't determine why this text can't be scrolled over and the hyperlink (all in the body of the page) can't be clicked. I'm not sure if it's a CSS issue, or some other kind of issue. The XHTML is valid, but the CSS isn't totally. Wondering if I can fix without totally remedying every CSS element. http://www.writershore.com/ltlaw Tha...

I've generally tried to stick with DOM-only attributes when writing Javascript. Now that I've switched from Prototype to jQuery, I can get some serious mileage out of adding my own attributes to various DOM elements, mostly in the realm of being able to set up a very readable coding convention for handling AJAX requests. As a short exa...
I would like to know the best way to markup scientific names in XHTML. This answer says I should use the <i> element, which I'm not too in favour of, unless of course, it is the right element to use. I could use <span class="scientific">, but seeing as one of the first uses of HTML was to markup scientific documents, I'd imagine there'd...

hey. for now, i'm using WMD for my site, but lately i've been needing to work on its code, and the supplied code is near impossible to read, due to code obscurity (no tabs, var names such as _1, _2 etc). now, i assume that code has a non-obscured version, but its nowhere to be found. (for example, i need to be able to supply RTL support,...
