[WSG] Today's Google home page (1 May)
Hello everyone,
Today's Google home page ('160th Anniversary of First World's Fair') has
a graphic that provides a 'magnifying glass' when you hover over it.
It's very impressive and I'm wondering what technologies Google has used
to render the magnification feature. Does anyone know? SVG, Flash, etc.?
Also: does the technology satisfy web usability guidelines?
I would be grateful for any responses.
Thank you and kind regards,
Grant Bailey

[WSG] What kind of unit is _qem ?
I see this unit being used with margin for example, in Mozilla and WebKit styles sheets, but I can't find any reference to it. Looks like it is mostly use to declare vertical values (top, bottom, before, after). Any clue?

Re: [WSG] What kind of unit is _qem ?
This question has come up on CSS discuss in the past. http://archivist.incutio.com/viewlist/css-discuss/104705 One answer: I believe qem stands for quirky em and is a proprietary Webkit syntax used to refer to a margin which can be collapsed when the page is in quirks mode. How weird is that!

Thanks a lot Russ. Also, it does not seem to appear in the Moz styles sheet, even though I thought I've seen it in there. How weird is that! Yes, that's weird. I'm not even sure why they'd do that unless quirks mode prevents margin collapsing and would create extra space(?). Just guessing, I have no clue. -- Regards, Thierry @thierrykoblentz www.tjkdesign.com | www.ez-css.org | www.css-101.org *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: memberh...@webstandardsgroup.org ***
