Doing It With Style
1. Are there any copyright issues with these demonstrations?
Most of my demonstrations can be used without asking for permission. However, some will require email approval first. Just check each page for the copyright requirements before use.
2. Where can I find standards compliant doctypes?
A list of the recommended DTDs can be found at the following link: Recommended DTDs to use in your Web document.
3. I have tried using <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> as suggested, but I now get a php parse error.
If you are using php to generate your page then it sees <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> as php and generates a parse error.
Use <?php echo '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>'; ?> instead.
4. Do you have tutorials for any of your demonstrations?
If there is a tutorial for a particular demonstration then the 'TUTORIAL' link under the main menu at the top of the page will be selectable.
5. But where's the code, zip file, how do I download the example?
I have had many emails asking where the code/style, zip file can be downloaded for the various demonstrations.
Well there is no download facility. The (x)html is always placed in the #info div, so examine the source code, find the <div id="info">.....</div> and in between is the 'code'.
In most case the style is embeded in the page <head>...</head>. This is done to keep it all together on the same page making it easier to find. In some cases the css is held in a separate file (where it should be) and is loaded in the normal way <link rel="stylesheet" media="all" type="text/css" href="path to css file.css" /> so just add this path to the address in your browser to see the css file.
