Just slogging through a re-write on my site to make it XHTML, CSS and accessibility (WAI - AAA) validated and have finally done it. I've just got to finish the last pages and I can go live.



I went to the W3C website to get the validation logos and discovered that the XHTML isn't valid for the accessibility logo. Ironic .... They are only missing a / to close the image tag but you would have thought that they would get it right.

rhinoian,

Just looked at your site quckly, You might consider changing a line in your css from:

Code:
/*Design left navigation Bar */
div.navbar {
font-family : "Arial", sans-serif;
background-color : transparent;
color : #ffffff;
line-height : 125%;
text-align : left;
font-size : smaller;
font-variant : small-caps;
height : 100cm;
}

to (last line change):
Code:

height : 100%;
}


I know you didn't ask to any help, but it bothered me when i looked at your site that the page seemed to have lots of blank space at the bottom.

Regards,

Carlos

another quickie note, if you you want height: 100% to mean 100% of the page and not the viewport use XHTML 1.0 Transitional, Try it with a XHTML1.1 Strict doctype and then with 1.0 Transitional and see what I mean

Carlos, Thanks for the help, the white space is one of the reasons for my redesign but you are looking at my old design. I have been putting off a redesign for a while to correct the CSS & HTML and finally plucked up the courage. The newsite should be red, not blue. The new site (not all the linked pages have been added yet) has corrected CSS and I am using height=100% already. I have even added a print style sheet. Still working through a few bugs with Opera and IE before I go live.

Mark, I tried the Strict / Transistional change but couldn't see a difference with the height element (my table went all to pot though!). What did you mean?

Firefox and Opera when you use height: 100%; and XHTML 1.1 Strict will stretch the object to the size of the view port. so if your page is longer than the viewable area, the content will be truncated, or overlflowed incorrectly.

XHTML 1.0 Transtional turns off this behaviour

Mark - I changed the doctype to strict (fortunately it validated OK) and then viewed a long page in Firefox, Opera, IE & Netscape and it seemed OK. Maybe there is a seperate glitch that affects the height:100%, something to do with the difference between absolute, static and relative positioning?? I use absolute positioning for my layout.

Hmmm its possible as I use mainly relative positioning.
