Help! Firefox doesn’t like my HTML, somehow…
March 10, 2006
The screenshot of a post with images turned off.
This particular problem with firefox has bugged me from the very beginning: somehow the websites I make don’t play too nice with the images turned off, because the dimentions that I include are not honored by FF. If you go to Mark Jaquith‘s site and and turn off images on his site, the image placeholders all hold the dimensions of the images that they hold. (He has the height and width attribute specified, just like in this and the last post where I turned images off and took a screenshot of.)
I would like to know if I’m doing something wrong with my HTML or CSS that is messing things up. Help? Anybody?
Looks fine on my firefox with the images off – except that the alt text on your random image overruns your top menu a bit. Doesn’t look the same but looks fine. I’m really unfond of big blank boxes where images should be anyway.
Looks pretty much the same in my Opera with images turned off, too.
(Don’t ask me what it looks like in MSIE – I avoid MSIE.)
Thanks for the feedback! I’m trying to retool my CSS a little bit with the images off. The layout boxes have no color or border attribs and all the stuff we see here is one image tiled vertically. I’m very picky over detail like that…
