As you can see my fellow readers, My page layout finally rendered well on most browsers. As i suspected, some of my post messed up where TinyMCE suke-suke hati abah dia add so many <p> and <div> without closing or </div> or </p> without opening. This caused my layout goes kaput. Dude, what the hell is WYSIWYG editor for if i still have to go through the code to fix it. Plus from the documentation, TinyMCE does apply cleanup messy code before saving the doc. Though i still add the “Cleanup messy code” button plus remove formatting button, and will try my best to help TinyMCE cleanup it messy generated code. During the era where i have so many time to spend coding, notepad was my favourite editor to code. I do not prefer WYSIWYG editor at all due to they generated so many unnecessary code and always produce output that other than what i wanted. But now with less time to spare, i cannot afford to do that. I guess i have to live with it for now and find some times to clean up the code.
Now, back to the topic. Before i can find the time to clean up the code, i applied a very-very quick fix to the problem. The quick fix is by using a combination of Table and CSS for the layout. And as u can see, the layout rendered well on most browsers. Well, if you are not web standards concious, u don’t care at all. But so some css freak, well, they freak out. This one fella even criticise google for using table instead of css to handle their layout. Making his own version of “standard compliance” of google claiming it size is smaller than table version. w00t :-O. What is table fault until you guys hate it so much? u can find a lot of articles regarding vss vs table on the net. google it. Don’t get me wrong, i’m not pro table and anti-css. I like them both use them both. Nobody dies in this battle :-P. As long as they do their job, i don’t really care. Working on most browsers is a major plus. Without major headache is another major plus. Until I can find that precious time, table will remain. Working harmoniously with CSS.
