I and probably others may think this is spam, but this site does use CMSMS...

The subject matter is not in my taste but the layout is nice...

We used the latest CMSMS version 1.2 but have found this to be a bit buggy. Problems occur when you go to save or submit code modifications. Anyone else having these problems??

From a web developer point of view we disregard subject matter when it comes to designing a decent website (our client briefed us to the process fully and ensured it is not gambling).  We have employed useful tooltips, a decent layout and provided the best SEO all via CMS.

Thanks for the comment of the layout, we think it works well too!

The site is very good in terms of design, can improve the appearance of validations xhtml

Code: Select all

Replace "&" with "&"
. Etc.

Congratulations

ALSO, units do not go on in-line image dimensions:

Fantastic advice nuno and I appreciate your comments.

We have since put the site through the xhtml validator at W3C and amended any errors.  We try wherever possible to ensure our webcode is compliant and because we are a small team it is often a case of getting the site done for the client first before the webcode itself is tested for small "&" to "&" errors etc.

We also recommend using browsershots.org to identify any cross browser issues and it appears that the sites layout works well on all browsers so far. If you spot any errors then do let us know.

Thanks for spotting this kermit.

However, we have always used pixels when it comes to image widths and heights.  We have done a search on your topic and cannot find the appropriate documentation to back up the removal of the px's.  Do you have a link you can share only this is the first we've heard of this! Would be very grateful.

Cheers for taking the time out to look into our site.  :)

Don't confuse HTML and CSS. Kermit relates to image dimensions given in HTML code: the WIDTH and HEIGHT attributes, which are in fact without units. You could specify percentages, but these are relative to the viewport, not to the actual image dimensions. HTML  WIDTH and HEIGHT attributes are deprecated, BTW.

Image dimensions in CSS are completely different, they allow for a multitude of units.

If you wanted to translate the HTML attribute example given by kermit into inline CSS you would have to write it this way:

Code: Select all

<img src="somepic" style="width: 120px; height: 120px;" />
hth,
