RE: [PEAR-DEV] Quick Answer about HTML_Progress and XHTML Transitional

Hi, You have the mention about it in user guide, but it should say that this is absolute necessary to use XHTML1.0 Strict. Most of web applications I saw use Transitional, even Pear Page prints XHTML 1.0 Transitional by default. More important, if page have no Doctype declaration, it's treated as Transitional. At least IE 5.x-6.x. Also there should be note about using HTML_Progress with Pear Page class. By default it adds XmlProlog which somehow makes IE to treat "Strict" doctype as transitional: <? // This one renders progress bar elements incorrectly $p = new HTML_Page(); $bar = new HTML_Progress(); ?> <? // This one renders progress bar elements incorrectly $p = new HTML_Page(); $p->setDoctype("XHTML 1.0 Strict"); $bar = new HTML_Progress(); ?> <? // This one works just fine ! $p = new HTML_Page(); $p->setDoctype("XHTML 1.0 Strict"); $p->disableXmlProlog(); $bar = new HTML_Progress(); ?> Don't know about Mozilla-based browsers. They are purists so maybe they don't have above problems. Another note, could we implement align for the whole progressbar, something like: $ui->setProgressAttributes("align=center"); Otherwise you need to enclose progressbar in DIV and do tricks to position it as you want.

But please, tell us which browser are you using ?
