How to beat Internet explorer when it comes to CSS and stop its regime of terror when using the net!

Article by Peter Taylour

I am guessing an article on this subject has been posted prior to this one, I should hope a few have! However I hope this will provide a refreshing angle on the subject and branch to some other interesting bits of stuff.

I am sure that anyone who has taken even only a few steps into web development has come across the gigantic force that is Microsoft’s Internet Explorer. Even for the most experienced coders, the most popular browser of this age has always been a prominent foot across the path of our websites technological progression and the possibilities of which the internet is yet to yield. Maybe not crushing ideas, but certainly making it a lot harder to bring these ideas from paper to browser.

However, although IE, wielding its scathing weapon the Microsoft corp. and therefore for-fronting the battle as the windows default has dominated the market; we have weapons which allow us the fight back! I think I’ll cut the metaphors here and get back to business… Well, how can we fight back? And more importantly, what can be done to keep our designs looking slick in the interim… Yeah before the proper browsers take over!

I’ll start with the fighting back. Personally my favourite method would be to utilize a conditional comment and tell people what they should be doing! Something like this…

Internet Explorer is She! Get a proper browser like Firefox before I come round and make you!!!**

Realistically I wouldn’t try this method though, probably not the most tactful way when it gets down to it. You could however place a banner showing your support of these less buggy browsers such as firefox. This websites great for this promoting firefox business, very nice banners right here: http://www.spreadfirefox.com/?q=affiliates/homepage

Conditionals are pretty clever little buggers though, for general use they can become quite useful. And you’re not just limited to . The comments understand other operators as well; you’ve got the NOT operator which is an ‘!’. So “if not IE” would be . In addition to this there are “greater than” = ‘gt’, “greater than or equal to” = ‘gte’, “less then” = ‘lt’ and “less than or equal to” = ‘lte’. These can be used when referring to browser versions, so could be used to warn users about a feature unavailable to them when browsing your site with IE version 5.0 and below.

But we are not here to help out the Internet explorer users; we’re here to convert them! Doing your bit locally can make all the difference. If you are round at a friends and he/she happens to log on to the internet using IE (boooooo), make it your concern that the very first thing that is done is the downloading of firefox (sorry Opera etc I’m a bit biased to the mighty fox.) Of course if the loging on to the internet part does not occur in the general flow of things it must also be your concern to make sure it does!… “Umm, you mind if I check the train times?” Okay I’m getting a bit carried away here, although very important to the advancement of the human race, you need not devote your life to spreading firefox.

The great progression in the internet and its uses over the last few years has meant that the look and the feel of a site has come under a lot more scrutiny, especially with ever rising amounts of traffic as more and more people connect to the internet. Complicated uses of graphics and CSS mean that when it come to interpretation by different browsers, everything can go wrong. The Browser that is renowned for taking perfect code and screwing with the end results is of course Internet explorer. It is so tempting just to say screw it and ignore the IE users and their browser, but with over 58% still using a version of IE this really isn’t plausible solution.

So okay we’ve got to fix the problem. Where to start?

Well firstly it is a must to make sure your code is valid. Just from an incorrectly written Doctype or wrongly phrased line of css can through internet explorer into all sorts of funny modes where anything can happen. Make sure you get a green light here http://validator.w3.org/ and here http://htmlhelp.com/tools/csscheck/.

Good stuff, that’s one step in the right direction if anything. Now if the problem still exists, what now?

Most of IE’s rendering blips are caused by bugs, which can be worked around with quick alterations or what are called hacks. Chances are your problem has been experienced by people before you and a fix has been fabricated already.

So what’s going wrong? I will list a few of the most common bugs, some which I myself have experienced and a link to some relevant articles explaining in depth the fixes.

* My borders have gone crazy! – fix… http://www.positioniseverything.net/explorer/border-chaos.html

* Margins doubled, pushing my content down and generally mucking stuff up – fix… http://www.positioniseverything.net/explorer/doubled-margin.html

* Contents there one minute gone the next, the peekaboo bug – fix… http://www.positioniseverything.net/explorer/peekaboo.html

You may have noticed that all those fixes above are at one website. Basically “Big John” and co of Position is Everything.net have done a fantastic job among some other geniuses out there, so why don’t I just give you guys a link to his site, the chances are you’ll be able to find a fix there… http://www.positioniseverything.net/explorer.html

You’ve now with a bit of time and effort (it sucks doesn’t it, and it really is unnecessary effort!) probably been able to fixed up your site. But what if something still purists, what can you do!? Well here is what I do…

Firstly if you know something which could be causing the inconsistencies in your site when rendered by different browsers, try just experimenting with this particular element of the code. Say the content part of your page is being pushed below your side navigation and you recon that IE is playing with your margin values but it’s not the double margin bug. Just adjusting the values of margins can bring results. This is a good time to introduce an excellent piece of free software called CssVista. If you know css well it can also be an excellent tool when in depth analysing your code when looking for problems. Check it out here http://litmusapp.com/cssvista/

If you can still find no joy using this experimentation method I’m afraid the best hope is now to do what I really find annoying especially since if browser bugs didn’t exist it probably wouldn’t be necessary. We’re going to have to start again. Now don’t panic we’re not going to redesign your site from scratch, we’re going to make a mock up page of your current design, testing for rendering problems all the way.

Okay, well your average website nowadays is divs inside divs inside divs. So first step is to create you’re outermost div and in your css give it all the position you want and a background-color so that you can see it. Now add the divs that are contained with-in this one and do the same thing, giving them all nice bright colours so you know exactly where they are. Now test it like crazy, anything going wrong so far? Basically keep going like this, until something starts to look weird, then think why it doing this? What have I just done to make it go weird? Google and other free recourses can be come very useful now. Yahoo answers is fantastic for everything so it is always worth a try at http://answers.yahoo.com.

That’s about it really; Give that a try and well, good luck!

So, we’ve had a quick look at how to rid the world of Internet Explorer and how to get by in the time being. I’m not a fan of Microsoft attempt at an internet browser but not really in the league of this guy http://toastytech.com/evil/index.html.

Basically guys have fun and make sure you’re not supporting the IE domination by using it!

Bum Marketing Method-Using Online HTML Editors

admin — Sun, 11 Dec 2011 16:00:02 +0000

Article by David Bocock

I hate using computers just as much as anybody else, and believe me when I started using HTML it was really confusing! Im glad someone e-mailed me and brought it to my attention that they were having trouble using HTML editors. The more that I work with the Bum Marketing Method I find that I learn new things every day.

I received a question via e-mail from someone who had watched one of my videos and still was confused as to working HTML, I cant figure out how to use the online html editor, could you show me the codes for bold, underline, and put text into initials. Also, could you show the anchor text? I know, Its confusing at times, but dont worry there is help out there!

The technical side of this business can sometimes drive you mad, and Travis admits it is not his strong suit but it certainly has not stopped him. The video I did is pretty clean on how to get your text into bold, underline, or italics, and also shows you how to make a word link back to your site when you click on it (anchor text).

Some folks learn by watching, others learn by reading. So, take a look at the examples below and you will see examples of the html code necessary to do anchor text and the bold, italics, and underlining words as well. For the examples below, I put spaces between each character so they would show up, but you dont need to put spaces between any when you use the codes.

Bold BOLD

Italics italics

Underline underline

I need you to take a leap of faith right now and go to my website ASAP. I have over 15 hours of in-depth video (and growing) + an 80 page eBook that covers every single detail of The Bum Marketing Method and you can get lifetime access to it and all future updates for just ten bucks! And before you think there is no value to be had for ten bucks, you can watch a FREE 30 minute video that will prove otherwise and quite possibly change your life!

Whats the the difference between HTML and XHTML?

admin — Sun, 14 Feb 2010 19:20:20 +0000

HTML is a markup language used for displaying text and documents across different platforms and machines. It was originally intended for a scientists to better display their data in tables, and has expanded to include hypertext, multimedia, as well as the style of the documents displayed. It allows an author to omit certain tags and use attribute minimization.
XHTML is an extensible markup language that was developed to retain the flexibility and power of HTML while reducing most of the complexity. It has tighter rules than HTML and allows for more ease in design from CSS (cascading style sheets) and other current languages. xhtml doesn’t permit the omission of any tags or the use of attribute minimization. However, it provides a shorthand notation for empty elements—for example, we could use
instead of

—which HTML does not.

How to load a different HTML document in another directory?

admin — Sun, 14 Feb 2010 19:19:44 +0000

Let’s say I have a normal folder with the ‘index’ file. Then in that folder I got a folder named example ‘Band’. And in Band I got a html document. How do I make a link back to the index in the previous folder?

Use "../" (without quotes) to send browsers up one directory. Use as many times with folder names to get the right relative path. Basically…

html" title="Home Page">Home

What is the html code when placing multiple links on a single image?

admin — Sun, 14 Feb 2010 19:19:20 +0000

What is the html code when placing multiple links on a single image? For example… the image is a tree with three leaves. Rather than having the entire image being a link, how would I set up an html code that makes each individual leave a link?

To place multiple links on a single image you need an image map. You associate the image map with the image by giving the image map a name and referring to this name with you IMG tag’s USEMAP attribute. Within your map you will need one area element (tag) for each link.

Here is a simple example:

html" title="Leaf 3">

To aid the process of creating your map, there are lots of free image mapping sites. The one that I use is http://www.image-maps.com/

For more information, and an example, see http://www.html-tags-guide.com/html-map-tag.html
