HTML/CSS Experts - what's wrong with this page?

[Adron]

I see a rather big box with no obvious content...

What browser are you using? I got the same thing in IE6.

It renders fine in Mozilla, though; probably buggy implementation of white-space (from what I could tell from the css file) on Microsoft's part.

Do a search for "tag" in that page. You'll end up inside the box.
The CSS source:

Code Select Expand

PRE.box {
   font-family: courier;
   font-size: small;
   white-space: pre;
   border: 2pt solid #000000;
   margin-left: 10%;
   margin-right: 10%;
   padding: 2%;
   background-color: #F0F0F0;
}
I suspect the offending style is "white-space". In the VS.NET CSS editor, "white-space" is not even recognized...

I suspect the offending style is "white-space".

Deja vu.

It could've been a giant table CSSed to ignore resolutions, and you'd all be fooled!

Works great in Opera7

whitespace pre is most likely not the problem. See for example http://adron.virtualave.net/Encryption/manual.html where I used the following style, and it renders just fine:

.example {
   font-family: Courier, monospace;
   margin: 6pt;
   border-style: solid;
   border-width: thin;
   padding: 6pt;
   white-space: pre;
}


And my web browser is IE6.

The offending statement is:

PRE.box {
.font-family: courier;
.font-size: small;
.white-space: pre;
.border: 2pt solid #000000;
.margin-left: 10%;
.margin-right: 10%;
.padding: 2%;
.background-color: #F0F0F0;
}

removing the % renders the page correctly in IE 6

[Adron]

ah right, there's a whole lot of padding. hmm, wonder what it's taking 2% of to use for padding... something *really* big...

btw, I like vdmsound better than ScummVM, it's faster and runs more games.

[Yoni]

VDMSound is great but it doesn't run BUILD games (Duke3D!) nor did it work well for me with Simon the Sorcerer 2 (which ScummVM has partial support for).

[Adron]

ScummVM runs Duke3D?

[Yoni]

No, I just said VDMSound doesn't - didn't mean to imply ScummVM is supposed to.

[Banana fanna fo fanna]

VDMSound runs Full Throttle, and that has pwning music.

VDMSound runs Full Throttle, and that has pwning music.

VDMSound and ScummVm are completely different things, really.  There's not a whole lot of point in comparing the two.
