Kovo Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 Hey, check out www.kovo.ca/1/index.shtmlIf I put the <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">in, the columns stop like they do there and dont extend all the way down the page. Once I remove the doc type its fine again.Do I treuly need the doc type? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Praetorian Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 Hm. Well, looking at the source code for that page, you have <html> twice... which may or may not be causing a problem. You only need that tag once per html page.I'm sure someone else will come along with a better explanation of doctypes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aquatsr Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 The DOCTYPE declaration is necessary for your code to validate. However if all you're concerned with is how your site looks - nothing else - then you can remove the doctype.HOWEVER: Having valid code means that your site is compatible with future browsers and the constantly evolving web language. I recommend you find what is wrong and correct it so that the DOCTYPE declaration does not alter your page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boen_robot Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 Your starting page is good. What The Praetorian refers to is your main page. And he's not bluffing either. Just look: <div class="text"> <html> <head> <title>HOMENC</title> </head> <body> I understand the problem here. You are using .shtml. So if my guess is correct, your main page has something like: <div class="text"><!--#include virtual="homenc.html" --> in it. To solve this problem, simply correct your homenc.shtml file so that it's not a valid HTML. Get rid of it's wrappers (html and body tags + head setion) and you'll be OK.As for the starting page. I don't see a problem. You mind giving it a DTD so the odd behavior could be observed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also added a dtd<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN""http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">Now look at www.kovo.ca/1/homeb.shtml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boen_robot Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 That's probably due to the faux nature of the columns. Specifying a width to the middle column should fix the problem, but judging what this size should be is another question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By giving the body and html tags a background, I can extend that same image down the page and contrict the center content. It worked, but if someone with IE7 and FF can confirm it on thier owns pcs that would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boen_robot Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 Looks fine in my IE7 and Opera 9, but not in FF 1.5.0.7. This may be due to it's cashing though. I'll try it some time later. Anyone else having an opinion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

holmedwa04 Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 It is working fine on IE 6, and I really like the different color schemes, the only problem is the green one, it doesn't work properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I even added a music player. Let me know if everything loads good. Thanks for everything guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holmedwa04 Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 Yeh that works great, I love the music player, is it just HTML, or some other language that is embedded in your code? If so, can you post it please, because that is really cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kovo Posted October 2, 2006 Author Share Posted October 2, 2006 Another thing, I dont know if uve noticed, but FFand IE seem to ignore the style rules for links. Check my links out on both browsers, the hover doesnt work on one but it does on the other and vise versa. And some links on the same page do have the hover style and others dont...wtf? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holmedwa04 Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 Thanks for the link, I will check it out soon, I was having the same problem with my styles, if you are using a style sheet then it needs to be exact.I have got my style sheet to work with both FF and IE, here it is, you can use it if you like, or you can just follow the structure of it.a:link { color:#0000ff; text-decoration:none; }a:visited { color:#0000ff; text-decoration:none; }a:hover { color:#006633; text-decoration:underline overline; }a.2:link { color:#0000ff; text-decoration:none; font-weight:bold; }a.2:visited { color:#0000ff; text-decoration:none; font-weight:bold; }a.2:hover { color:#006633; text-decoration:underline overline; font-weight:bold; }a.3:link { color:#000000; text-decoration:none; }a.3:visited { color:#000000; text-decoration:none; }a.3:hover { color:#006633; text-decoration:underline overline; }a.4:link { color:#ff0000; text-decoration:none; }a.4:visited { color:#ff0000; text-decoration:none; }a.4:hover { color:#006633; text-decoration:underline overline; }The 2, 3, and 4 are just different class' so I can have different types of links, the first one will work for all normal links, then the second will work if you do this:<a class="2" href="mypage.html">Hello</a>...and so on, I think you get it, if not just contact me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
