htmlpad2005 css repair feature?

Post by ddickey »

Hi there,
I just got started learning css not too long ago and have a website http://coolebreeze.com/martiniandnuzzis.html that looks great in IE, however, now that I bought the htmlpad2005 and view it through firefox or netscape, it looks horrible and the background color doesn't show up.
I don't know whats wrong. When I run the validator for css it says parse error. I am wondering if that has something to do with it.

Is there a css repair feature similar to the html tidy that repairs html?

Hope you can help. I appreciate it.
Thanks
Best regards

Hi dennis,

I dont think there is a similar feature for css in the software.

As far as your page, you have your CSS document setup as an html document. try removing everything before the first body declaration:

Code: Select all

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title>insideout recreation</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type"
   content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />

<style type="text/css">
<!--
and everything after your H6

Code: Select all

-->

</style>
</head>
</body>
</html>
seems to be happier in firefox. you still have other issues like the dropshadow not aligning but this should at least get you on the path.

Also note that all of the scrollbar color stuff will only work in IE as they are proprietary to microsoft.

good luck,
will

no problem. it's great that you're using the validators while you suss everything out. they really are the best free help out there.

good luck.

Will
