Best Lightbox ever!

[Charles Edmonds]

Floatbox!

http://randomous.com/tools/floatbox

Works REALLY well ... and it seems to be an actively updated (December 1,
2008) lightbox clone from someone who knows what he is doing!

Hi Bert,

Glad to pass it on!

We do a lot with the lightbox stuff (and in fact some of our new tools will
generate content for them), so we are always looking for the best of the
best.

This one was a bell ringer<g>.

Charles,

I am getting "does not support quirks mode" needs to have a valid doc
type... error in all browsers.

I can't find any headers on this on his forums. Do you have any insight on
this error?

Thanks,
Bert

Hi Charles,
I think you might be running into the following issue:

Doc Types
Floatbox does not support quirks mode. All pages that include floatbox
content need to have a valid doctype declaration at the top of the page
which will set the browser to render in standards-compliant mode. Note that
for IE6, if anything at all appears above the doctype declaration, quirks
mode will be set. So please don't put an xml declaration such as <xml
version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> at the top of your XHMTL 1.0 pages.

Check the instructions fo more info on Quirks mode.

It's down a ways on http://randomous.com/tools/floatbox/

I hope the above helps.

Peace,

Ransom

Thanks Ransom, that was for me not Charles. I totally missed that on the
'docs'. Another cup of coffee I guess.

seem to find a place to change or edit.

Bert,

Switch NOF to publish using XHTML.

I use that 100% of the time and it has a valid (complete ) DOCTYPE.


If you don't use XHTML then NOF publishes like this:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">


That is an incomplete DOCTYPE because it does not have a URL for the DTD.

As a result - the NOF generated page renders in "quirks mode".

Floatbox fails when it tests the browser rendering for document.compatMode
=== 'BackCompat'.


Here is a MSDN URL that explains it:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...87(VS.85).aspx



When you switch to use XHTML, NOF publishes like this:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">


To see what I am talking about, just do a local publish and view page
source.


Unfortunately NOF does not have a way to change this short of post editing
the code (unless you use the XHTML output).

I reported this countless times in the past to no avail, but just reported
it again today (after seeing this post).



Does that help?

Charles
