Hi again I wrote last time "MS IE 5.0 for Mac behaves with certain DTD as if the width should be ALWAYS calculated according to the calculation formula of CSS2. In my mind this is incorrect, if only the width-attribute is used." In my mind MS IE for Mac works incorrect if only the width-attribute is used. CSS2 doesn't define GENERIC principles how width-values should be handled => width should be handled according to CSS2 ONLY if the width-property has been given. In other situations the default value or explicit HTML width-attribute is used. Concerning CSS3 the situation is more complicated. I must add three questions: 1) Does the the 'box-sizing:content-box' attribute concern GENERIC LEVEL, how width-values should be handled, when it affects both to the width-attributes and width-properties? 2) Does CSS3 create GENERIC DEFAULT value 'box-sizing:content-box' even if the attribute has not explicite defined? 3) Is the 'box-sizing:content-box' ONLY *related with the width-property*, when it should not affect anything, if ONLY the width-attribute is defined? The W3C working group must EXPLICIT define, if the 'box-sizing' is GENERIC property of only sub-property of the widht-property! --------------------------------------------------------- Tapio Markula, tapio.markula@nic.fi, tapio1@nic.fi http://www.nic.fi/~tapio1/index.html (Finnish) http://www.nic.fi/~tapio1/index_e.html (English) --------------------------------------------------------- I like __ ¦__¦__ Cascading ¦__¦__¦__ Style ¦__¦__¦__¦ Sheets http://www.nic.fi/~tapio1/Opetus/FAQ.php3 http://www.nic.fi/~tapio1/Teaching/FAQ.php3 --------------------------------------------------------- I have made something also with XML and XSL: http://www.nic.fi/~tapio1/Opetus/XSL-new.php3 (XML) http://www.nic.fi/~tapio1/Teahing/XSL-new.php3 (XML) ---------------------------------------------------------
