Stupid CSS Bugs

Another CSS question: If I use CSS to set a border around an image of say, 2px, do I still need to put border="0" in the line where I set the image width, height, etc? Seems pointless but I saw it done that way on someone's site.

No, css already defines the border so theres no need for the border tag.

You'll find every html tag or property or whatever can be replaced with css and theres much more you can do with css so its worth learning which ones replace which.

For me it was hard to get used to dropping cellspacing and padding and replacing it with css padding and margins. Took a bit to wrap my mind around it. But once I got onto it its been sweet.

And I highly recommend HTML 4.01 Strict over Transitional as with strict your pages will look exactly the same in both FF and IE with one or two minor tweaks declared for the body and or all tables and td's of the page including...

text-align: center;
margin: 0px;
border-collapse: collapse;
vertical-align: top;

and i think...

line-height: 0px;

...but im just learning to play with that one.

Now that sounds nice.

Well, I never thought it would be possible but I'm building sites with external style sheets faster than the old way. Here I sit with a site ready to submit, waiting for the 24 hour clock to tick down so I can get it submitted. This is nice but now I have to find something to occupy my time...

Get crackin on your next site.

I've found with the limited css I use it is a plus all the way. I learn a little more as a I go.

AAAAARRRRGGGHHHH!!

|shocking|

OK, now that I've pulled out ALL my hair and used up my LAST nerve, why would a page look fine in Firefox but have trouble in IE?? I've gone over the CSS line by line and it looks fine. |shocking| I thought Firefox was more critical of errors.

Nevermind...A complete and total reboot fixed things. Go figure...
