[Mapbender_dev] DOCTYPE, reset CSS

Wed Aug 4 06:29:42 EDT 2010

Hello devs,

Mapbender shall deliver standardized HTML, so I recently added a correct 
DOCTYPE to index.php in trunk. The current DOCTYPE is

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">

We should aim for "strict" instead of "loose" soon, but I think we 
should not make things harder for us than necessary, so I will settle 
with "loose" for now.

Adding this doctype led to a lot of problems. I fixed all problems I 
came across, but there are still some minor open issues (I used the W3C 
validator).

One big issue was the jQuery Layout plugin, which needs a specific CSS 
so the panes are displayed correctly.

html, body {
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
    padding: 0;
    margin: 0;
}

I put this code in http/css/reset.css, and included it hardwired in 
index.php, so it will always be loaded. I'm not sure if that's what 
mapbender.css was about, and it could have been put there. This reset 
CSS could be expanded with other settings in the future.

Please comment,

Christoph
