asp_web_howto thread: SSI, CSS and NN


Message #1 by "Kellen C. Von Houser" <kellen@a...> on Sun, 9 Dec 2001 02:42:57
When I apply an external style sheet to a page with SSI it works 

beautifully in IE, but not in NN.  Netscape applies the style sheet to the 

rest of the page, but not to the SSI.  What adjustments do I need to make 

to accomodate the limitations of NN?



Thanks.

Hi Kellen,



Is this true in NN 6 as well as version 4?  I've had major compatibility

issues with DHTML in Netscape since they got stuck on v.4.  As a workaround,

you might have to write a semi-long, browser detection script in JavaScript

to apply conditional formatting based on the browser the client is running

on their end.  The hard part about this is that you'll have to include

consideration in your script for Netscape 4 and Netscape 6...and then as

well as



Is it also possible not to include your CSS asd an and...maybe just

reference it directly within the <HEAD> tags?:

<link ref="style" type="text/css" href="mysheet.css">



...either this, or just code it inline to your pages?  The former would be

easier for reusable code.



HTH,

Jason

The Server-Side Include is processed entirely on the server. Only a single,

complete HTML page is then sent to the browser. The style-sheet is applied

by the browser to the entire HTML page. The browser knows nothing about the

SSI you used on the server.



For example, www.adopenstatic.com (my site) uses SSI and stylesheets, and

there are no problems with NN.



My guess is that you need to validate your HTML page to ensure that it

conforms to the HTML standard - Netscape is much pickier about this than

Internet Explorer:

validator.w3.org will allow you to enter the URL of your page (or upload a

page to them), and it will tell you what errors you have.



Cheers

Ken

Brilliant.  That is showing me exactly what the problem is.  I should have

thought of that, thank you!



BTW, your site is absolutely beautiful.  Thank you for the link.



Kellen
