Dilema FF

Sent by Helmut HG on 18 June 2005 00:12


David,

Thanks for your feedback and for catching the "bug". While I was working on 
this layout I must have left the possition:relative by mistake.

Also thank you for your tips and comments. the main navigation will be 
actual graphics and that is why I havent used a "list".

Could you elaborate a little more about the difference between XML <foo/> 
and HTML <foo>. To be honest I never hreard of it and I would like to 
understand a better.

Thanks again!
Helmut.

First impression: My goodness the fonts are tiny (its usually a good
idea to stick to 1em for body text, and avoid px/pt units altogether).

Glancing at the source code, the first thing that jumps out at me is
you use of XML style self-closing tags (<foo/>), this is wrong in HTML
(where it means something rather different), use plain old <foo>
instead.

You have machine detectable syntax errors:

Why isn't your list of menu items marked up as such?

Taking the (apparently pointless) position: relative off the
#bodyholder seems to fix your problem. I'm not sure why. Possibly a
Gecko bug.
