Hey All,
I'm new to these forums and 4 months new to css. Anyways I had a question about a layout for accessibility and if this is good way to approach a
that pops up on a page. Ok I use to put pop-ups at the bottom of the page which makes the markup look like garbage and doesn't really address well executed accessibility for web pages, so I started doing it the way I posted it below my Co-worker said it was a hack because he couldn't understand it and I wanted a second set of eyes and voice to give me some feed back. So here it is.
/* css */
div.chartContainer_holderShell { height: 0; left: 0; overflow: visible; position: absolute; top: 0; width: 100%; z-index: 10; margin: 0; padding: 0; }
div.chartContainer_holder { height: 0; overflow: visible; position: relative; top: 87px; margin: 0; padding: 0; }
div.chartContainer_holder table.chartContainer_holdertable { margin: 0; border-collapse: collapse; table-layout: auto; width: 773px; padding: 0; }
/* markup */

The code that you've posted doesn't meet the W3C's rules for a valid page. (Check it at http://validator.w3.org/.) A browser can't be expected to properly render an invalid page. We really can't say what's wrong until that is corrected.
Why are you using a table? It looks suspiciously like a layout table...?
What is supposed to appear in the 'content goes here' section? Can you explain how the popup relates to the code you've posted?

Doesn't look invalid to me.
Aside from that though: what actually is the question? Feedback on what? You haven't described well enough what you're trying to do.

Absolutely relative RE:
So I checked my code on W3 and according to XHTML 1.0 Transitional guidelines from W3.org my page and the code I posted is completely valid. So whats so invalid to you guys? (pardon me if I seem a little rude but if I'm learning something I really want to make sure I'm doing things right especially if people are trying to standardize the way people construct websites.)
Here is the code I posted to W3.org

Aside from that though: what actually is the question? Feedback on what? You haven't described well enough what you're trying to do.

Well you do sound rude considering you are questioning what we said, making it seem like we were wrong, when you go and post two completely different sets of code and ask why one validates and one doesn't.
Did you validate the first hunk of crap you called code? Was it valid? The answer is probably no for the first one, and defiantly no for the second one.
Don't come here trying to make us look stupid. For the most part, we know what we're talking about.
Besides that whole rant. What's the point of using transitional on a new site? What are you transitioning from? Build the site using valid, semantic coding, and switch to a strict doctype.
check out www.htmldog.com it has some excellent tutorials for people just getting started with html and css.

Well first off I didn't try
Well first off I didn't try to make you guys and gals look stupid nor did I think it, I thought you would just address my first question about accessibility but instead you just commented on the simply snippet on markup I posted as crap and invalid, I thought you guys would get the idea but instead you just were very unprofessional about helping a new person with a question. And Deuce aside from not wrapping a tag around one tag it validates fine in Strict and or Transitional XHTML. The idea of this site being any bit professional is laughable.

Whether the markup is valid
Whether the markup is valid or not may not make a difference in a given case, but having the markup valid[1] indicates a careful, meticulous and clueful poster. On this forum, valid markup has become an entry level requirement simply because:
1) It's not rocket science to mark up stuff validly;
2) A significant number of rendering errors are fixed by fixing the html; and
3) Someone who's not willing to get the basics right is probably going to be a royal PITA, arguing every point instead of taking the (even bad) advice as an opportunity for improvement.
Now, the specs are very clear:
<!ELEMENT BODY O O (%block;|SCRIPT)+ +(INS|DEL) -- document body -->
Why would you argue against fixing so small a thing?
Give it some thought, then do what you think is right.
cheers,
gary
[1] There can be invalid markup as long as the author has compelling reason, and communicates that reason to the forum. Short of that, we must assume that it's a screw-up.

I completely agree with
I completely agree with kk5st's three points, and if someone were to post at the beginning after my original post "please post exact markup" and not just "validate" I don't believe this "argue" would have happened. It's just when I ask people to elaborate thats when you guys went off on all this validation posts.

Perhaps not, but I don't know about anyone else, I'm still no closer to understanding what the actual problem is cos you haven't described it adequately.

The "argument" was between
The "argument" was between Deuce and Tyssen, if anything.
The stickies at the top of the forums ask you to post all your code.
You wouldn't take a Mini to a mechanics, and ask them why your Jaguar doesn't start, would you?
