Is there a way to delclare td widths in:
<td width="23%" class="dark">Text</td>
There is a warning for a whole bunch of things that are fowling up my attempts:
"document type does not allow element "INPUT" here; missing one "P", "H1", "H2", "H3", "H4", "H5", "H6", "PRE", "DIV", "ADDRESS" start-tag"
For those that may say get rid of the tables, I cant :)
Any pointers gratfully recieved.
Cheers
The input problem has to do with the fact that <input> fields (or any other content, except block level elements) are not allowed immediately within <form>
Invalid:
<form>
Text<br>
<input>
</form>
Valid:
<form>
<div>
Text<br>
<input>
</div>
</form>
Funny thing though, now it is html 4 compliant the freaking text goes small across the whole page. If I remove the doctype it goes back to normal.
I do have % text, could that be the error of my ways.
eg
p {
font-size: 80%
}
In fact I have been working on it now over lunch and it seems to be that % that causes the problem. So I have to take all the text up one size, so where I want 80% and the strict doctype I need to go to "small" text size.
Are the <p> tags closed?
Also, if you have set the overall body size to 80%, setting the size of paragraph fonts to 80% actually means "80% of body size", which would be about 64% of browser default...
Use % or em. Just remember that explicitly setting the size for a child element makes the takes relatively smaller compared to its parent.
<body>
Test
<div>
Test
<p>
Test
</p>
</div>
</body>
Setting font size to 50% for each element (body, div, and p) would make the text in the above example smaller and smaller...
as in 1 - 7?
are they supported widely?
One way to handle this is to only set the font size in either the outer-most or the inner-most elements - just not both!
number formats
Are we talking CSS or font tags now? If the latter - yes, but stay away from font tags ;) They are evil! 1-7 for CSS, well, no, they are not supported at all...
