Wiki issues

It seems that KHTML is currently the only browser correctly rendering the wiki. Very few changes were made: a new background, new logo, new font sizes/face/colors, new link uunderline styles, and some other cosmetic changes – however the entire skin seems to be distorted. I will work to resolve this issue — in the mean time I will install a default version of monobook to roll back on.

Any suggestions on the problem?

Just a few validity problems:
1, You’re missing a ‘}’ at the end of the “h5” selector in monobook/main.css
2, Not sure if you did it, but in commonPrint.css, div.tleft has mistakenly got border: rather than border-width: property. (line ~75)
3, in the same file, you’ve used Grey and not gray. iirc, grey doesnt exist in most implementations of CSS :frowning: thank god SVG has grey.
4, margin: none & padding: none; are invalid. Use 0 instead of none.
5, I’d love to see text-decoration: none; removed :wink:

We’ll have to see if that fixes it, or whether we need more tweaks afterwards

I wasn’t sure if [Beta] used this:

http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/

but if not, it might yield more tidbits :slight_smile:

Ha, I didn’t catch the h5 error — but the others we there, I didn’t touch common print or margin/padding. I should use a validator, I overlook too much otherwise.

The best magicians never reveal their secrets :wink:
(well, actually, I used that site as well as three other things. One being my noodle)

You’re right about it yielding more tidbits, but it’s usually overly cautious with warnings, which can sometimes hamper people from debugging well (Hell, the requests I get…)

I usually ignore Jigsaw’s warnings unless there’s only a few I can fix easily.

But just a note, the wiki has CSS errors. At least the main page does. You probably are already aware, but just to be sure.

most of those errors are from the original monobook, which I don’t feel compelled to correct seeing as I indtent to install a new skin when mediaiki is upgraded anyway

Looks pretty damn nice in firefox! Good work :slight_smile: Though the haiku leaf logo up the top left looks a bit nasty on IE.
