  1. POWhy is SharePoint dispalying my HTML and CSS content improperly?
    text
    copied!<p>I am trying to add content to a SharePoint content editor web part, but when I do, it displays as if it's ignoring parts of my CSS.</p> <p>It displays fine in Firefox 3.6 and IE 8 when it's a stand-alone page, but goes all off when the same code is placed in the Content Editor web part: <a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_1lstp_CvQTA/TOw6NMS-N8I/AAAAAAAACPg/jkczXGOVYes/HosedInSharePoint.jpg" rel="nofollow">Click here to view</a></p> <p>Often, things that are broken in SharePoint when viewed through IE will appear correctly when the same SharePoint page is viewed in FF; this time the menu was laid out correctly, but the text was the wrong color (should be white).</p> <p>When I examine the code using IE's Developer Tools, Sharepoint appears to be ignoring <code>#CAPMenu li</code>'s declaration of <code>height:0;</code>. If I disable <code>height:0;</code> when viewing the code outside of SharePoint or in SharePoint with Firefox, the menu falls apart a little. When I view the page in SharePoint through IE, the menu is already hosed and disabling <code>height:0;</code> makes no change...</p> <p>Please help! This is not the first design SharePoint has kept me from using.</p> <p>Edit on 20101130: I found an article (<a href="http://friendlybit.com/html/default-html-in-sharepoint-2007/" rel="nofollow">http://friendlybit.com/html/default-html-in-sharepoint-2007/</a>) about the state of the code SharePoint 2007 publishes from its masterpage and the article starts with what I think is mashing my code...</p> <blockquote> <p>Things start out really bad, without a doctype on the first line:<br> <code>&lt;HTML xmlns:o="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office"</code> dir="ltr" __expr-val-dir="ltr">'<br> This mean that all default pages will render in quirks mode, making rendering unreliable across browsers.</p> </blockquote> <p>Edit on 20120921: We've since moved to 2010, and while better, SP will still butcher my code in its attempt to fix it. I eventually figured out I could link a CEWP to an HTML file saved to a site library and have the code in the file load in the web part. Because SharePoint can't edit the file, my code comes through clean and pristine :-)</p>
