Re^5: SENDMAIL problem!

Pescador:

I think I understand relevance of ... "I already use w3c and some problems appears" so I can offer a comment on that:
Mozilla and IE (at least pending the next vers of IE) and <insert almost any other browser name here> STILL don't use the same Document Object Model (DOM) AND probably even more relevant to your variant renderings question, support CSS differently.

These are a few among many ways to deal with this:

acquire an exhaustive understanding the cross browser quirks
accept (for a base testbed) some version of some browser, validate the html and css, and then tweak code for other target browsers until you can live with the results across the board
code a 'browser check' into each page, and create a mechanism to output code suited to each browser based on the check.

While the first might be admirable, in some fashion or another, it might require commiting 100% of your time and thus would fail as a goals-oriented approach. However, a less-than-exhaustive understanding can save you a lot of trouble.

So too can the second, though it can also spiral into "never-finished-hell"

And three is fine, presuming the restrictions on your work don't do battle with browser-checking (for ex: the site of one of my clients has to conform to rules that interpret US and w3c Accessibility Standards as banning javascript and is also restricted by host-imposed limits on alternate approaches) and so long as you can deal with browser quirks by using .css -- ie, without creating redundant pages for each browser.

And if the rest of your post means you're working on a project of which you fear the Monks will disapprove -- sobeit, but the editorial content isn't the issue; it's the code. Feel free to compress, redact, <snip> anything not relevant to the question at hand.

Sorry, I don't understand the relevance of the search you cite re NN4., 6., and IE 5. The threads found pertain to PM specific issues. So, making a suposition (which may not be correct) that you're getting an error or warning from a validator that's addressed to the lang and xml:lang attributes Older browsers will sometimes choke (even tho they're supposed to ignore what they don't understand) on features that were developed after they were released "http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" doesn't ring any bells for me (I checked the page) but I'm not doing/using xml/xhtml so I can't offer any ideas there. "This HTML Part is gerated by perl... seems to be a statement that the module(s) you're using is creating that line (if misunderstood, please clarify) in which case, you need to take a look at the instructions you're giving it... and the pod or other documentation to make sure it does what you think it does. Know this may not be terribly helpful, but I'm lost... ww	[reply]
