Re: [whatwg] CSS idea: y-index

2008-02-04 Thread Jean-Nicolas Boulay Desjardins
There was alwredy a proposition for order in CSS.

My first question to you is why don't you just change the order in the HTML
or with JavaScript?

It is allot more powerful to use JS then CSS and CSS is not meant to
organize content on a page, HTML is, its only made to style. Maybe they will
add it, but I think the best thing to do is just to use JS or HTML.


Re: [whatwg] Question Regarding table width

2008-01-29 Thread Jean-Nicolas Boulay Desjardins
width= attribute has been removed from the web standards because it is
recommended that you use CSS to style and not HTML elements or attributes.


[whatwg] scope attribute on td

2008-01-26 Thread Jean-Nicolas Boulay Desjardins
The scope attribute was created to tell a screen reader to read a table in a
certain way...

But now it has been remove from the spec.
http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/WD-html5-diff-20080122/#absent-attributes
My question is what is going to be replace with?
And if its not replace, how are we going to tell a screen reader how to read
the table, from columns or rows?


[whatwg] accesskey

2008-01-25 Thread Jean-Nicolas Boulay Desjardins
In the present standard you are alowd to use the same accesskey in to
different links... For example:

a href=bob.html accesskey=bBob web page/a
a href=bob.html accesskey=bBob web page/a

But what would happend if this was to happend:

a href=bob.html accesskey=bBob web page/a
a href=alex.html accesskey=bAlex web page/a

Again this is allowed in the present web standard, but if you think about it
its illogical, on what bases thus the browser decide wich one to access
first or should it open the tow?

Why are there removing accesskey?
http://www.w3.org/TR/html5-diff/#absent-attributes

I though it was recommended to be used by WAI...

What are we should we use? Because its not said what accesskey is replace
with...


Re: [whatwg] Reverse ordered lists

2008-01-25 Thread Jean-Nicolas Boulay Desjardins

 I have to agree CSS would be the best way.

 But is it rely use full to have in CSS order:... Could you just do it with
 JavaScript...

 I think that we should add new properties to CSS but I don't think its a
 good idea to over load CSS with every new properties that we come up with,
 that we might not even use... For example if I wanted to change the order of
 a list I would use a server side code or JavaScript...

 I don't think we want CSS to become a over blown language...

 This is what I think... There is maybe good arguments to add it to CSS...
 But for now I think that server side code and JavaScript can do the job,
 plus with JavaScript you have more power, its some think to think about...
