    <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>

    1. COAre you using SharePoint 2010? Older versions generate invalid HTML, and are rendered by browsers in what's known as "quirks mode". This means that, for example, Internet Explorer (regardless of which version you are using) uses IE6's rendering engine, in a special mode which makes it render pages like IE5. This was "by design", as SharePoint's HTML was quite broken and dependant on IE6's engine, and MS didn't fix it until the latest version.

    2. CO@ salgiza: Thanks for the info. Tell me if I understand what you are saying correctly: My styles would be applied last in the cascade in a normal web-page-rendering situation, but because it's in SharePoint's box, SharePoint get's the final say on what gets sent to the browser for rendering?

    3. CONot exactly. Before IE6 implemented a "standards" mode, the CSS engine implemented by Microsoft didn't conform to what the CSS standard said. If you are using SharePoint 2007 or earlier, anything not supported by IE6 (we are talking about the year 2001) won't work in IE. Moreover, you can't be sure that what will work, will be rendered as you expect (as IE6 in quirks mode didn't conform to the CSS standard), so it will be very, very, hard to get CSS that renders identically in IE and the rest (Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Opera...).

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
