How can I print on 8 1/2x11 paper w/publisher w/o a white border?
Ed Bennett wrote:
Erika was very recently heard to utter: I was disappointed your pages didn't validate. You need to select an xhtml doctype: !DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional/EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd" It looked like a template because there's a lot of coding that I don't think you're actually using. You still should have the correct doctype. I didn't code them myself - simply used a template. (And I don't believe in validation for the point of it. You can write perfectly valid W3C code that will not work in every (or sometimes even any) browser (writing code that gets through the W3C validator AND has complex layout AND renders correctly in every browser is virtually impossible, from what my slightly more experienced web designing friends have said), and you can write code that will work in every browser under the sun and yet is riddled with errors. I prefer the latter, myself. That's so wrong. Valid markup will work in virtually every browser except for problems in IE, and that hopefully will be rectified with IE7. Valid markup will not be riddled with errors. -- Hugs, Erika |

And if I can work out how to modify the blog engine I'm using to add one, I will. Then I'll have 200 XHTML errors. Wonderful. That's so wrong. Valid markup will work in virtually every browser except for problems in IE, and that hopefully will be rectified with IE7. I doubt it will be fixed with IE7, and I believe I've seen "valid" markup break in Opera. If I used FireFox, I probably would have seen it there as well. Valid markup will not be riddled with errors. That's because the definition of "valid" is that it does not have "errors". I still assert that writing code that works in all browsers (particularly target browsers) is more important than writing code that complies with W3C standards. -- Ed Bennett - MVP Microsoft Publisher http://ed.mvps.org/ |

But if you write for Firefox first and then hack for IE & maybe Opera if you need it, you'll have valid code that works in all browsers (not real old ones of course). But I'm not really a standards evangelist so I'll just say - each to their own and that's enough of this. Your stuff looks perfect. -- Hugs, Erika |
