Problem with Doctype and Fontsize
Poster: AndreasK67
Dated: Wednesday February 8 2006 - 6:09:16 GMT
Hello,
it's maybe a very simple problem, but I can' t find the reason.
When I define a Doytype like
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
the fontsize, which I have set in the menu_data, will be ignored.
What is the reason for this problem?
Thanks
Andreas

Hi,
Which browser, which OS?
There could be a number of reasons. I use that doctype all the time when I'm doing testing for things in the forum and I never have a problem with the font size being ignored, so we really need to see the page to figure out just what might be causing that. We need the html, the css, the menu data info, so a page is the easiest way to get all of it.

Hi
did you set
/* <![CDATA[ */ after the beginning script tag and /* ]]> */ before the </script> end tag?
I´m not an XHTML expert, but as much as I can find out, xhtml requires this. There might be some other preconditions for correct processing of xhtml. Cannot say anything without seeing the file.

I use the following for all my pages...
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<!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" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<!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" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
Even without a CDATA everything works just fine (except it probably won't validate as a clean XHTML page).
