GC's Implementation of HTML5 / CSS

[Fledermaus]

Just how complete is GC's implementation of HTML5, when combined with CSS attributes.

I uploaded a geocache page and it turned into "garbage".

 

Here is an example (in German):

<div style="text-align:center; border-radius:10px; border-style:dashed; background:#FF0000; padding:3px; font-family:'trebuchet ms', arial; font-size:27px; font-weight:700; color:#FFFFFF; font-style:normal">Passen Sie die Einstellungen wie unten gezeigt an:</div>

 

Here is an even more complex line that does not work:

<div style="text-align:center; text-shadow:8px 8px 0px #000000; padding:5px; background:#FF0000; border-radius:10px; border-style:dotted; border-width:15px; border-color:#FFFFFF; font-family:'times new roman', 'trebuchet ms', arial; font-size:48px; font-weight:700; color:#FFFFFF; font-variant:small-caps">This Is A Theater Style  Marquee!</div>

 

According to CSS HTML Validator 2019, both lines are validated line and also correct according to the W3C website.

I have not seen any statement about GS's HTML 5 compatibility or intention to make it compatible. It is just an arbitrary set of available features you must manually test how they work. Some features are ripped of immediatelly from the source when you save it and some are modified at runtime.

Ii is interesting reading through the Forum messages. Sometimes I learn something. And sometime like this post I have very little idea what is being discussed. Glad some people do.

 

Happy Caching.

The official list of supported HTML is in the Help Center article HTML in cache pages.

Don't get fancy with the formatting. The HTML supported in cache descriptions is limited. The platforms used to view cache descriptions can be very limited.

I would like to introduce a link to my listing not being styled as hyperlink, just looking the same as the surrounding text (somehow masked).

If somebody has an idea what to try, any help would be very welcome.

 

thx

Found it myself

 

When being in listings edit, not source code, mode and adding a link, an editing window opens. Choose "Extended" and set "STYLE" to "color:#4a4a4a;text-decoration:none;"

All done.

 

cheers
