Help! Firefox doesn’t like my HTML, somehow…
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…

[...] The Department of Homeland Stupidity is a site I just discovered a couple of days ago. Most of it good, some of it a little off–like their running debunked stories being recycled by Rolling Stone. Anyway, more interestingly, by coincidence I ran accross a web developers blog who mentioned the Tempus Fugit Blog who has a post [now we are getting to it] about his first post to The Dept. of Homeland Stupidity. And in his excerpt of his own post, he is spot on: On paper, Republicans are easily more favorable than Democrats to a libertarian-minded person such as myself. On paper, they support lower taxes, less socialism, limited government, a rigid interpretation of the Constitution, property rights, parental rights and gun rights. In practice, they do little to permanently relieve the tax burden, they support wealth redistribution in a variety of forms, they’ve bloated the government to an unprecedented degree, they’ve made a mockery of Amendments One, Four, Six, Eight and Ten, they’ve been slow and inadequate in their response to the Supreme Court’s eminent domain decision. That leaves parental rights and gun rights. So if all you want to do is to teach your kid that God created the world in seven 24-hour periods or shoot empty beer cans for fun, the Republican Party has your back. Otherwise, it’s time to wake up and realize you’ve been duped. [...]
