Possibly OT. IE6 and background colors..

[Thomas 'PointedEars' Lahn]

Attribute values that contain the character `%' have to be delimited by
double quotes or apostrophes in HTML. As there are more exceptions than
this one, it is a good idea to delimit attribute values this way always.

Small typo there.
I doubt it will solve your problem, but you misplaced the space between
maxlength="32"name ="name".

Actually that doesn't matter in SGML applications as the first attribute
value is properly delimited by `"'. It may only be possible that there is a
tag-soup parser (which is not Gecko's or IE's, I have tested those negative)
that can't handle this properly and falsely error-corrects to

maxlength="32name"

Giving a form control the name "name" could be a problem, though.

Another extremely weird feature from iE6

I have a site, whose predominant colors are green background with white
writing.

Perhaps not the best for an easy reading ?

There is a style sheet with many styles, of which all either specify a
green background, or don't specify any. Body defaults to green.

At the customer site, some <INPUT type="TEXT"> elements showed up with a
white background on one machine running IE6. I didn't have a chance to
investigate further. Highlighting the white on white entered text showed
it was there, just invisible (snip)
At the least I would have thought that this would override any other
styles - from the relevant stylesheet.

INPUT, TEXTAREA, SELECT, OPTION {
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
padding: 2px;
color: white;
font-size: 12px;
background-color: #60a060;
}

My iCab doesn't accept to style forms's elements ...

Isn't that true of *any* font? I thought the only real guarantee was that
a browser will have available at least on serif font, one sans-serif, and
one fixed-width. Beyond that, it's all guesswork...

I'd be surprised to find any browser on any normalish system that did
not have a monospace font available. Both monospace and fantasy, in
addition to the above, should work, with monospace giving at least
monospacing; but fantasy may not give anything fantastic.

It's a good idea to read the newsgroup c.l.j and its FAQ. See below.

Quite the contrary, read RFC 1855 and e.g.

Why? It looks great and has good contrast..

Depends of :
- the setting of your monitor
- Windows or Mac (I think it is lighter on Mac)
- the browser
(green is what ? #00FF00 or #008F21 ? my browser displays : #60A060
why not to code one exact color ? ie: #316F30)
- colour-blind persons

thats why its not the only font specified.

and do you expect arial will be so big as verdana (with same rule's size
12px) ?

I have merely made a polite request.

The control freak is *you* who wants to control the way people reply
(regarding the posting's content) according to what *you* would find
appropriate. However, Usenet is _not_ there to please you.

Wow. I ask a simple question and two sets of pedants start a font war.

An NO ONE has answered the question.

I think this is probably a record.

No, you cross-posted an OT question to comp.lang.javascript and
cam.misc. What did you expect?

An NO ONE has answered the question.

Actually, I answered your question in the first reply.

I think this is probably a record.

Yes, you have topped yourself with this one.

Follow-ups to alt.test.

Removing a cross-posting without noting so in the body is bad manners;
it is akin to adding cross-posting. See RFC1855 on that. XP restored.

Wikipedia has no authority. For all I know, the entry might have been
edited by yourself. However, that page says nothing about hierarchies,
and has an example of posting to two different hierarchies. It does not
currently support your assertion.

Neither does RFC 1855.

But it does describe signatures, and yours is not compliant.


If you are hoping to be employed in the future, you should heed what the
RFC has to say about that. Employers won't want an arrogant misfit.

I see. So when have you stopped working? Have you ever worked before?
