Single HTML anchor tag actually renders TWICE! Screenshot
I'm 10 lines in to my second attempt at HTML and CSS and it is immediately doing completely barmy things.
I have the following code (this the entire page):
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta content="text/html; charset=utf-8" http-equiv="Content-Type" />
<title>Some page title</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://yui.yahooapis.com/3.1.1/build/cssreset/reset-min.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="47926.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="960Clear.css" />
</head>
<body>

<div class="container_16" id="topBarDiv">
<div id="topBarLogoDiv">
<a id="topBarLogoLink" href="~/Home/ComingSoon" title="Coming soon page"/>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
And here's the CSS (960Clear.css, the others are 960 grids and YUI reset):
#rootDiv {
height: 70px;
background-color: #F7F7F7;
}
#topBarLogoDiv {
background-image: url('file:///C:/Users/Public/Documents/~Main/Vuplan/S26.Vuplan.Web.Application/Images/logo-vuplan-color-on-alpha-172x49.png');
background-color: #F7F7F7;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
margin-left: 20px;
height: 50px;
width: 172px;
display: block;
overflow: hidden;
}
#topBarLogoLink {
height: 50px;
width: 172px;
min-height: 50px;
min-width: 172px;
display: table-cell;
}
This simple, simple page doesn't work. Internet Explorer was my initial problem, rendering up to four logos in the top corner, but let's ignore Internet Explorer for now because even Firefox is doing the nuttiest thing.
I render another, whole anchor element outside of the wrapper div and this oddness is even visible as another line of code in the F12 diag tools window!
I took a screen shot to demonstrate:

For me, HTML+CSS work is a punishment served in Hell, but this takes the biscuit. What on Earth is going on here?
Note
My fault - I should've added this disclaimer before.
The code above seems to have tickled some people. Please remember that it's in an experimental state as I try to work out why I am getting multiple logos and general oddness.
I haven't got as far as correcting local links (which will be completely different in production and generated via ASP.NET MVC methods anyway).
Imagine that someone is having problems plumbing a house and you go to investigate. The house may not be finished yet; please ignore the missing carpet ;-)
You can't close an A tag with /> you need to close it with <a href="#">Link</a>
The double rendering is Firefox/Firebug parsing invalid HTML.
First of all, if you're know you're going to write bad code at least let the browser know in advance. Use a more forgiving doctype than strict (technically this doesn't really do much, but every bit helps I think)
Next, unlike most other languages, grid frameworks and aids like that are actually better for intermediate and advanced users. Those new to CSS are more likely to be confused by them. (This is subjective, I know, but it is a sentiment expressed by many, and we are giving out advice here, aren't we?)
Now for the site logo. Its a matter of personal preference I suppose, but its usual to see logos being marked up as h1s. There are multiple ways of achieving what you want here, I'll just give the one I habitually use:
HTML:
<h1>
<a href="#">Site Name</a>
</h1>
CSS:
h1 {
float: left;
overflow: hidden;
}
h1 a {
display: block;
background: url('path/to/logo.png') no-repeat;
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
text-indent: -9999px;
}
You're URLs are incorrect: ~/Home/ComingSoon and file:///C:/Users/Public/Documents/~Main/Vuplan/S26.Vuplan.Web.Application/Images/logo-vuplan-color-on-alpha-172x49.png might work locally, but you need to use relative paths if you are going to place this onto a server (assuming you are not going to use server-side scripts to generate those URLs)
#topBarLogoLink {
height: 50px;
width: 172px;
min-height: 50px;
min-width: 172px;
display: table-cell;
}
The min-height and min-width declarations are useless: They are only useful if you do not declare a fixed width and height. min-height and max-height properties, and their width counterparts, are used for fluid layouts, where the designer give the browser a certain degree of flexibility to accommodate for different screen sizes and other uncontrollable factors.
The display: table-cell declaration is also slightly suspicious: if you want the inline a element to expand out to the size of its parent div you can just use display: block
#topBarLogoDiv {
background-image: url('file:///C:/Users/Public/Documents/~Main/Vuplan/S26.Vuplan.Web.Application/Images/logo-vuplan-color-on-alpha-172x49.png');
background-color: #F7F7F7;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
margin-left: 20px;
height: 50px;
width: 172px;
display: block;
overflow: hidden;
}
Other than the url issue, the background color should also not be redeclared - HTML elements have transparent background color by default. Declaring display: block here is also unnecessary - divs are block level elements.
Oh, and I'm really really sorry if you feel offended by that comment. I really am. Consider this me making up for that, okay?
Try not making the <a> self-closing. It should be <a href="blah">Text or </a>.
