  • Here it is… The spiffed up and polished version complete with accompaning WordPress CMS. Whew, the design is the same, however the coding of it was a ***** to be frank. Coding the (x)html/css before converting it to PHP was easy, but inplementing it into wordpress was a pain in the neck and confusing. However I eventually beat all the problems with some help from you guys and whatnot. I’ve tested everything I think and I’ve found everything to work, so if you want try to break the page, and add comments, etc….

    The one complaint I have is that it can’t follow my original design down to the alignment becuase of the different browsers parsing the PHP and CSS differently however I tried to make it close enough for both FF and IE. Finally, I need testing in Safari. I don’t want to use browsershots and things like it becuase it never happens, the lines for those services are incredible!

    Okay, comments are really appreciated. Thanks guys!

  • The site is spiffy and polished, to be sure. But I’m not sure where I am when I arrive. Why am I here? I’m not sure which section of the page I’m supposed to focus on…

    I’m a bit of a curmudgeon when it comes to fancy sites, however.

    Even my tastes in women are like that… but that a different subject ??

    Yep, I ran into that issue, however I don’t think it warrants the addition of loading 3 different headers just to change the links

    And also Why is the w3 validator chocking on my WordPress generatoed code?

    Interesting layout. I’m not a fan of black, so that tends to put me off, but I LOVE the “zen-ish” rock graphic.

    As to validation, the only stuff I’m seeing refers to the frameset usage. You might try re-doctyping to xhtml 1.0 transitional, see if that helps.

    And also Why is the w3 validator chocking on my WordPress generatoed code?

    It’s not. It’s your use of frames/doctype… Need to use:
    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Frameset//EN" "https://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-frameset.dtd">

    Oh, yup. Blew that didn’t I? Sorry…. didn’t have my editor open! Good catch, Yosemite!

    Oh okay! I’ll do that.. Guess strict isn’t the right one Thanks

    I did that and it’s still spitting crap out at me… and why is it still saying HTML strict? I changed it to transitional

    Here – try copy n pasting this:

    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Frameset//EN" "https://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-frameset.dtd">

    See if that works.

    I put that into there and it still says the page is strict? BTW, only reason I use the frameset is because of my domain name registar… I think I can turn it off somewhere… Anyone know how to?
