is it possible to display ⇓ entity in ie6? It is being display in every browser but not IE 6.I am writing markup such as:
<span>⇓</span>
According to this page, that symbol doesn't show in IE6 at all.
Symbol Character Numeric Description
⇓ ⇓ ⇓ Down double arrow - - * Doesn't show with MS IE6
If you really need that particular symbol, you may just have to go for a small graphic of the arrow - not an ideal solution, but if you need it to display in IE6 then that may be your only option.
Yes, it is possible... But you'll need to explicitly tell IE which font to find it in. For instance:
<span style="font-family:Arial Unicode MS"> ⇓ </span>
should produce ⇓ in most browsers.

In the rich text field I choose Full alignment, but when previewed the text has left alignment. When I close and reopen the document, the text is brought back to left alignment.
How can this be resolved?
If I understand you correctly, you have a Notes Form with a Rich Text field, in which you align the text "justified", as in the screenshot below:
But if you view that in a Xpage, the text is no longer justified, neither in the read-only rendering, nor in the edit-rendering with the CKEditor:
Alas, if you align the text justified via the CKEditor, it renders properly in the browser
with an "interesting" rendering in the Notes Client:
This is a "known" problem and in my demo case, the Xpages runtime engine even warns me about that:
"Saving this document will change its format from native Notes rich text to HTML. This may cause a change or loss of formatting if opened again in the regular Notes client."
The conversion of rich text to HTML and vice versa is not the whole problem, even though the message says that. There are also issues with repeated conversions back and forth changeing font sizes, loss of certain colors and styles, etc.
This is a long standing issue with Ben Langhinrichs, who documents that rather thoroughly and even sells an extension to handle that conversions better.
Hope this helps a little bit.
I am using v8.5.3 and in the All Properties of the CKeditor they have a property called 'htmlConversion Warning' that you can set to 'noWarning' which seems to prevent the Saving this document message mentioned above. Seems someone from IBM has taken a note from Microsoft on providing a solution. Now if only they would take a note from them on how to market the product.
I have a rather big page (with lots of html, css and js(dojo framework)). This page contains html-select element and when I select any option the page blinks in IE6. In other browsers it works fine.
Any ideas how to avoid blinking?
Thanks in advance
Personally I would ignore this. My personal philosophy with IE6 is: It needs to work, but I don't care how it looks.
Perhaps you don't have the luxury.
How does jQueryMobile shows "..." when there's not enough space to view all the text?
Is it an CSS attribute?
There is a CSS attribute for this -- it is text-overflow:ellipsis;.
However, there is one problem with it: it doesn't work in Firefox. It works in all other browsers, but not Firefox, not even FF4. I understand it's planned for FF5 or FF6.
In Firefox, it would need to be done using pure Javascript, which is where the JQuery would need to do some work. To do it accurately, it would need to calculate the physical size of the text in pixels, character by character. It is possible that it does use the CSS property in other browsers. It would make sense.
See this post: text-overflow:ellipsis in Firefox 4? (and FF5) for a further discussion of this issue specific to Firefox.
I'm making an web shop (my first one), and on the front page my client wants banners with their current hot deals. Naturally I want Google and other robots to be able to understand what these links are all about. I think (but I'm not sure) that Google will treat my <a> tag better if it will have some relevant text inside it. But a banner is just an image. How do I put text there? Could a <span style="display:none"> work? Maybe the title="" attribute?
Added: OOps, forgot to say - I place the image as a background image to my <a> tag - this gives me vertical centering. So there are no <img> tags.
Google will index the Alt text property on your image.

I've always done <span style="display:none;">My SEO text</span>. I've learned this trick from the CSSZenGarden. Another way to "hide" text involve setting a text-indent: -100000em;, and I'm sure there are some more.
It works at the CSS Zen Garden, google does not penalize it. search for "the beauty of css design" and you'll see that it gets indexed at google.
Google cant crawl images but Google can index alt text so try to link the images with alt-abbr.
How to control a running text? This is a user generated content, where user used to give with out giving space to the text. for example:
abcdefghabcdefghabcdefghabcdefghabcdefghabcdefghabcdefghabcdefghabcdefgh
This goes beyond the specific block. Is there is a way to wrap the text? how can i control it and i also want that to be worked in ie6 also...
You can make strings with no spaces wrap by using the following CSS property:
word-wrap: break-word;
According to the MDC page on the word-wrap property, it is supported in IE 5.5+, Firefox 3.5+, and Safari 1.0+ (but not Opera).
You could use overflow:scroll; in your CSS, this would put a horizontal scroll bar. Should work in IE.
