Rejection - Your thoughts

Simon · 2006-12-05, 07:01 AM

I see this all of the time with recips that use inline styles. It seems someone started including the "{}" brackets awhile ago and many folks have picked it up as the way to style their recips.

For your inline style tags, try removing all of the unneeded "{" and "}" from the coding.

Example, use this:
<div style="color:#FFFF00;background-color:#FF6600;font:bold 15px Gill Sans MT;border:3px solid #000000;padding:5px;text-align:center;width:180px;">

Instead of this:
<div style="{color:#FFFF00;background-color:#FF6600;font:bold 15px Gill Sans MT;border:3px solid #000000;padding:5px;text-align:center;width:180px;}">

Those "{}" brackets are only used when you have your css in the document head or in an external stylesheet.

What Simon said. Also, if you embed all your styles in the <head> rather then inline you can save yourself a ton of code.

FYI - Your SmutRat recip links to both SmutRat and Smut Gremlin. I bet you feel like a silly goose.

Yep, I do all reviews in FF...as I think a number of reviewers do these days

The issue with the very small 'Enter' on that banner was just a heads up. Some reviewers will decline for it...no matter the size. But, as mentioned in the email...it was the blue on black that caused me to decline the site.

Firefox is a lot less forgiving of bad code (both html and css) than IE. Definitely worth the time to check sites in both browsers to be sure

Also, I agree with Lemmy in that using inline css creates a lot of excess code. I tend to use either external css or keep in the doc head...makes for much leaner pages
