That's the reason why we all love CSS. With editing of one file you edit it all and make drastic changes .What we are doing is that we are changing the selector of the CSS which is suppose to be changing the list. Because IE only supports :hover over links we change the selector to select only links inside a list (li a:hover) instead of selecting the list items themselves(li:hover).What's the thing that is not making scence in all of this?

To save any king of "special" file in notepad, all you need to do is select it to show all files instead of *.txt files only and enter your file's name with a ".wml" suffix.No. You don't need something special for creating *.wml pages, but it is better if you have some (for tag colouring purposes for starters...).Most (all?) new phones support XHTML 1.0 strict. In fact, if you have heard of CSS media types, you have probably noticed "handled". This is used for handled devices such as PDAs and cell phones. If you use a specific stylesheet optimized for handled devices' needs and another for computer screens, your page(s) should look good in both kind of devices.You can use any server side to generate content. The client (in this case- cell phone) is not requred to have a support for that language. It all depends on the server (this applyes to all other king of devices as well).However, old phones (still used by a large number of people) support only WAP, so having both XHTML strict page optimized with a CSS for handled devices and WML pages is the best solution.Geocities, as far as I know accept all kinds of files but don't have any "special" support for them (such as server side scripting). A *.wml file is not a server side script, so there's no reason not to be supported. If it's not- there are always other free hosts you know. ALL of them support *.wml scince uploading a *.wml is equvalent to uploading a plain text file (the server doesn't treat it like anything special).

I actually didn't knew it's possible to have a template inside a template. Wow . As for what's your mistake... hm... I'm not sure But I think the template is called only if it's defined above the call-template element.

What's Omnimark?

I think I could help you but I need to know 2 things:1. Is expireDate the root node of the XML file?2. Is that the only thing you want to replace in the final output?

The example you show is using data islands. Data islands are not a web standart. Because of this, they are only supported in IE. Standart compilant browsers like Opera and FireFox don't support it. This fact is a known issue.

Besides what I showed, you must also give the div that is going to be stretched a height of 100%. The only thing the code above does is to "prepare" the (X)HTML for the big stretch.The star (*) before the second CSS selector is a trick to set a specific thing for IE borwsers. Because of the star, IE reads the code and because it specifies priorities only for the HTML, it is treated with a higher priority over the "html, body" selector.Why this method? Streching the html and body along with the stretched div works in all browsers besides IE6 where it gives unnecessary scrollbars. Stretching only the body works in all browsers including IE, but it doesn't work on Safari.=> By combinig theese two tricks, we have created a code which should work everywhere.[edit] @aspnetguy Well, both of theese methods are described in www.quirksmode.org. The only thing I have done in this matter is to combine the two best methods . In fact, I have already posted this solution few times in this forum. I think there was one time where there was even your post there [/edit]

That's exactly what I was wondering... what are you asking for if the code is working? Who cares what went wrong if it works now?

The method that aspnetguy suggest works in all browsers besides IE6 where it's buggy. A way around this is to insert this into the CSS code. html, body{height: 100%;}*html{height: auto;} As far as I know, it should work in all modern browsers(IE6, FireFox, Opera, Safari and even IE 5(both Windows and MAC)).

I'm not exactly sure if I understand all of the things you've done, but the way I see it, the DOCTYPE doesn't mach the root element of the document. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><!DOCTYPE RCFEED [<!ENTITY RCFEEDEnt "RaceCast RSS Feed Entity">]><RaceCastRSSFeed>... It should be like this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><!DOCTYPE RaceCastRSSFeed [<!ENTITY RCFEEDEnt "RaceCast RSS Feed Entity">]><RaceCastRSSFeed>... Because the DTD is not valid, the script does not load the file. If you want to keep the invalid DTD and still load the file, you may always add this to the script: xml.validateOnParse = false; Again I say I'm not sure what you have done, and what do you ask for, but still...

I already had and deleted my IE7beta2 few days before this topic was posted. I must say I installed it with a trick to avoid the Genuine User Authentication (or whatever it was) because... well.. you probably got the point already .From what I saw THAT way there were few things which made IE7 useless-- The unabillity to open links in new tab or window. Clicking with the right mouse button on a link and select "Open in a new window" option didn't do anything .- There was no way of using drop-down menus. Clicking on one resulted in a pop-up alert at the top of the browser window.- Eventhough there was the ability to add "Links" as a toolbar, nothing was shown.After I removed it, IE6 became useless, because it opened every link typed in it in IE7. Scince it didn't find IE7 it reverted to another IE6 window which repeated the operation (sounds stupid, right?).I had reinstalled my windows scince then, but that doesn't bother me. I know how/what/when to back-up .Because of all of the above, I can't give a fair opinion about IE7, but I must say there was the "WOW!" effect when I first launched it. I also saw a comparrison table for IE7beta2's support for CSS and that of other browsers here.[edit] I just saw the first link in this topic in the MSDN site and realized they already gave my link there as well. It seems quirksmode.org is FAR more popular than I thought [/edit]

In order to understand some of Jonas' comment a person needs to be a bit... free . I think Eric is sometimes waay too sencetive, but that isn't a bad thing either .As mentioned above, the moderators are here vaulenteerly. I sure know that scince I've been here scince they weren't moderators yet .By the way, the article above is really cool. Eric, here's a hint on how to respond to Jonas' question "Did you get my point?". Whatever you say, don't say "Point? What point?" .Please note(ALL OF YOU!!!): Emoticons are put here with a purpose. Their purpose is to express emotions. You should expect someone being angry when there's a " ", and you should expect someone joking when there's a " ". Sarcasm (which Jonas often uses, and unfortunately is misunderstud by Eric) is normally marked with different smiled emoticons like " " and sometimes " " (it all depends on the situation).Learn to read (Eric)/write (Jonas) the emoticons as they are an important addition in every community.

Not quite. Suppose you both give the same request to the server at the same time. The server process both of your requests. However, when it has to return the results, your friend is going to get them first, because the way is shorter. In other words: This doesn't effect the server, but the client. A server either gives something to everyone with a particular speed(depending on the amount of clients) or doesn't give them anything (if too overloaded).This was if you give a single request. Suppose there is much processing to be done. In this case, it all depends on the server procesoor's speed.[edit] I forgot to mention another thing when it comes to processing many things: small quiryes speed faster, so even if you are on a longer distance than your friend, if your quiry requres less processing, it's more likely that that you'll receive the results first. [/edit]

Scince I first read this post when it was posted, I was looking for an answer in the XSLT and XPath references to see if there is such a thing and... well... I don't think it's in XSLT's power to select things at random. At least- not yet. You can always use a server side script to switch XPath expressions though.

IE6 has support for CSS2(it's not full but it does support the selector ">" though). If you want to make something specifically for IE you must add a * before the property. Example: .picture {border: 1px solid #B3DD3D; /* FF */*border: -whatever-border-you-think-it's-needed-; /* IE */padding: 5px;*padding: -whatever-padding-you-think-it's-needed-;}

One more thing to explain in HTML (if you have looked at Eric's example, you probably noticed it): Close your "main" tags- </body></html> Also, try learning and studying CSS. You won't regret it.And a small correction to real_illusions' post. Subdomains (domain allocated in a domain) are called like this:

Well, yes... the <xml> tag is unofficial because only microsoft uses it. It's not standart compilant. I don't know about when FireFox started having XML and XSLT support, but version 8.52 of Opera doesn't have any support of XML styled with XSLT (I haven't tested CSS styling though). Opera 9 has support for XSLT though I'm not sure how full it is.IE doesn't have XSLT support?!?! You gotta be kiddin me! I can't say if it's "crappy" but there IS support of XML and related technologies, especially XSLT.

What about Apache running on windows?

Let's clear something up(I noticed it after looking into the ColdFusion manual in Dreamwaver): Are you going to include a basic explanation about CF tags and functions in the syntax section or you are going to make separate sections explaining each one's syntax?

@SkemcinA note for the site itself: Don't be afraid to make links. Instead of " My personal choice is CrystalTech Web Hosting (http://www.crystaltech.com)" write " My personal choice is CrystalTech Web Hosting" for example.One more thing... remember to tell the difference between the ColdFusion Developer Edition and the Enterprise Edition in the introduction. It's hard for a person to believe that ColdFusion is free if he/she sees a price tag on the site. Explaing that Developer is free and enough for working and Enterprise is for servers is sure to clear all (ok... most) confusions.

border: 0px solid #000000; ?

And there we have something to answer in the introduction I guess .To say "Macromedia ColdFusion" is the same as to say "PHP". Both are server side scripting languages and both downloadable files (from the respective sites) contain what should be put on the server in order for the corresponding files to work. Both can be edited in any text editor just as HTML page.@Skemcin shouldn't you explain the basics at first, before going into the includes? Also, there should be a whole page describing the installation of ColdFusion and it's binding on an Apache server (hey, it took me a whole day before I was able to figure that out myself) right after the introduction.What's UDF and CFC btw?

Try changing IE's setting to default. You might have accidently turned something requred for viewing XML files. But also one more thing: we are talking about that THE SAME file(s) work at your office and not at home, right? Well... it's really odd really.

The fact that want authentication makes the files secured. So secured you can't get them(sad, isn't it). Try making a server side script that would copy the file another server without authentication and then use this XSLT to acces that copy.Sorry, but I don't think XSLT can pass through authentications.

Special entities like © must be declared in the stylesheet somehow. You may use either DTD or schema. Both should do the trick. I haven't got deep into schema yet, but here's a DTD that Dreamwaver offers(it should work): <!DOCTYPE xsl:stylesheet [ <!ENTITY nbsp " "> <!ENTITY copy "©"> <!ENTITY reg "®"> <!ENTITY trade "™"> <!ENTITY mdash "—"> <!ENTITY ldquo "“"> <!ENTITY rdquo "”"> <!ENTITY pound "£"> <!ENTITY yen "¥"> <!ENTITY euro "€">]> Just put it right after the XML declaration(before the xsl:stylesheet). As you can see it contains other special entities. You can always define other entities as well.
