RE: [WSG] Software to read aloud web pages (targetted at literacy issues not vision issues)
This has been possible on every Apple Mac for the last fifteen years or so, and you have the option of changing the voice if you want, unfortunately the good versions that are available for Windows are all relatively expensive.

Sadly it is in an American accent - but you can choose the gender of the voice and modify it a little. You're probably looking for something a little more advanced than this - but thought I'd point it out as it is so quick and easy!

[WSG] Dreamweaver CS3
I've been thinking about buying the new version of Photoshop and Illustrator, as i just purchased a new dual core iMac. Currently i use BBEdit but im thinking about switching to Dreamweaver as i might aswell purchase the creative suite. Is the new dreamweaver any good for us developers? This may not seem related to web standards but i feel it does because back when i used dreamweaver - it was the days when it bloated out your code and caused friction for many developers. *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ***

I think its very handy even though i hardcode most stuff. Its good for organizing your work flow, with document tabs and what not. The code is pretty clean these days and theres a good built in validator. I think even object embedding (.flvs and what not) is pretty unobtrusive. Sorry if thats off topic.

Re: [WSG] Dreamweaver CS3
Hi James, It may also be worth looking at Microsoft's Visual Studio 2008 Web Designer Express Edition - it's completely free (It has nothing to do with the Expression series of tools). It has IDE Source Code Editors for (X)HTML, XML, CSS, and JavaScript, etc. You can also download the limited MSDN Library that accompanies it, also free of charge. There is no proprietary code injection, and you can set a markup specification for cursory validation as you write. http://www.microsoft.com/express/vwd/ Apologies if considered off-topic.

Re: [WSG] Dreamweaver CS3
If you're using a mac then I must highly recommend TextMate ( http://macromates.com/) as the best text-editor I've ever used. It has full syntax highlighting but it's real power comes with snippets, code blocks you can program yourself. For example I can type if and press tab and it will automatically change to if ($var) { } whilst pressing tab again highlights to each variable or block allowing you to overwrite it. You can write your own which makes it incredibly powerful and there are hundreds built in for all sorts of different programming languages! I've been using it for around a year and a half now and have never had any problems - it's also very cheap in comparison to other editors. If you're using Windows, then someone wrote a port of TextMate called E-Texteditor which can be got from http://e-texteditor.com/ - again very good (not quite as good as TextMate) and allows you to use the snippets and bundles from TextMate which makes it good in a development environment with multiple OS's.

RE: [WSG] Character Encoding Mismatch
The advice below is sufficient if your content is limited to characters in the ISO-8859-1 repertoire If you are using any characters outside this repertoire on the site, then i wouldn't use this approach. As indicated in a previous email, you could ask your web master to change the default configuration of the Apache server. Unlikely to happen if other sites are hosted on server since it may negatively impact on other sites. An alternative would be to use a .htaccess file. if the administrators allow you to do this.

In fact, I'd recommend against doing so, and the problem you've experienced is exactly why. If you specify the encoding in two (or more) places, they can get out of synch. You might *think* you're specifying ISO-8859-1 because that's what your HTML META tag says, but if the server says something else, that's what takes priority. It's important to understand that the encoding tells browsers (and other user agents, like Googlebot) how to interpret non-ASCII characters in your page. It's a common mistake to think that these are restricted to accented characters that we generally don't use in English, but content pasted in from Microsoft Word (for instance) is likely to contain non-ASCII as well. In other words, you might be using them without realizing it. If you are, and you get the encoding wrong, then what you see as quote marks (for instance) might look like this to others: †Whatever tool you're using to save files should give you a choice of which encoding/character set to use. You can use ISO-8859-1 to write in English and most Western European languages. Since your Web server is already identifying your pages as such, it might be a good choice. Others have suggested UTF-8 which can represent anything under the sun. That's great, but you'll have to find some way to cajole your server into telling the world that your pages are UTF-8, not ISO-8859-1. If you can't, you'll have to stick to the latter. -- Philip http://NikitaTheSpider.com/ Whole-site HTML validation, link checking and more *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ***
