Re: [WSG] Web page translations
Speaking of web page translations, I'm going to be getting copy decks of a web page[1] translated into six different languages. I'm on the right start by having the lines in my html code as specified in the email below. :-) Now, to do the side nav (all I have so far), I had fun(!) because Dreamweaver doesn't render the characters of the Chinese, Japanese, and Korean languages. They show up as squares. Does anyone have a suggestions as to what other app I can use to code the translated pages in? I would think some thing with support for more characters? Anyone have any suggestions (hopefully free)? Also, any idea how I can have the ALT attributes and the title bar show these characters as well in the browser? Or does that have to do with the user's computer fonts installed? [1] http://test.slackbarshinger.com/pei2006T/content/english.html (test site) million thanks!

[WSG] just sharing the frustration
Hello fellow ponies, I just wanted to share my frustration with having to work late on valentine's day contextualizing copy from a Word doc into html with nested lists galore[1].

Re: [WSG] just sharing the frustration
Samuel/Ted/Jay, Wow! I will remember all this for the next time, since I do a lot of Word-to-HTML converting. The crazy thing about this one particular Word doc was that it wasn't in formatted bulleted lists because it was copy extracted from a PDF we got from the client as it seems they didn't have the original copy deck anymore I think. Oh well, live and learn. I'm going to find HTMLTidy (which I had but lost on hard drive replace last year) and look up HTML-Kit. I do usually copy/paste right into the design view in dreamweaver for simple stuff. It really does the trick sometimes, if no one's tried it. The writers here at work only work in Word because of the Track Changes feature. Makes it easy for everyone to know what's been changed.

RE: [WSG] FF1.5 and font sizes
-Original Message- I've upgraded my Firefox[1] to the new 1.5 version and it seems to me that some website's font sizes have become a lot smaller. Quoting Peter Leing [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I'm unable to duplicate this. I would try resetting your text size to normal, or createing a new profile and see if it occurs under that profile also. As for greasemonkey, they relased 0.6.4 yesterday for Firefox 1.5 only. Ok, I'm officially crazy. In a new profile, all the font sizes are fine, it must be my own personal profile. I must investigate under the hood of my profile (like I would know what to look for). :-S Glad to hear greasemonkey is ok, it did auto-update today 1/2 hour after I sent the email out.

What do you mean when you say that IE breaks the code? -- you know the answer to that one ;) 2. What are the top browsers I should test on? -- the biggies on Mac and PC: IE, Mozilla, Opera, Netscape, MacSafari (if possible Linux Konqueror) 3. What are the steps I need to take to get webspace/domain name? -- buy domain name; buy webspace; learn FTP; voila 4. What's bandwidth? -- every time your webpage is visited it's downloaded; monthly limit based on your host 5. Do I have to pay to get X search engine to crawl my site? -- no, it's free; pay if you want top, highlighted results or to be placed as ads 6. How can my website make money for me? -- ads; sell your artwork (big discussion on shopping carts vs. PayPal) It was so exciting to talk ab/t web standards and all that I'm passionate about. It felt great to explain why learning to code by hand is highly important before jumping into Dreamweaver (I explained that Dreamweaver has so many features and widgets that if you don't know what the code means, you won't know what it's doing, why it did A or B, etc. etc). I touched on other important topics like: SEO, Accessibility and explained that these are tools that you need to be introduced to so once your familiar with HTML and CSS what the next steps are to take. I also explained the difference between stealing code and learning from and changing code. I'm so glad I got to do this and hope that everyone can do this at least once!

Re: [WSG] print headers/footers
Barb, I don't believe there's a way to control the actual headers/footers printed on a page by a browser. That'd be like trying to change the default buttons on the browsers' toolbars. But someone correct me if I'm wrong, cuz that'd be kinda interesting if that *could* be controlled. :D A search I did on google confirmed that via CSS, the headers/footers can't be changed unless it was via some kind of hack. later, Z · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · Z u l e m a O r t i z W e b D e s i g n e r email : [EMAIL PROTECTED] website : http://zoblue.com/ weblog : http://blog.zoblue.com/ · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · On Monday, April 26, 2004 9:02 AM, Barbara Dozetos [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I should have added that I'm looking for something that works in IE for 98 as the lowest common denominator...

Re: [WSG] Flow from bottom?
I'm new to the list and wanted to contribute this link on footers from A List Apart that might help: http://www.alistapart.com/articles/footers/ it uses Javascript and CSS. later, Z Z u l e m a O r t i z W e b D e s i g n e r email : [EMAIL PROTECTED] website : http://zoblue.com/ Sam Walker wrote: I'm not sure exactly ho the explain this, but I'll give it a shot. I'm making some good progress on my first real standards-compliant css and xhtml page. On one of the pages, I would like the page to flow up instead of down. For example, in a normal page, if you just had one paragraph, it would display as close to the top of the page as the style-sheet allows. All other elements flow downwards from the top. What I want it to do is flow from the bottom so, if I just had that one paragraph, it would be displayed at the /Bottom/ of the page. Then all elements after it would push it upwards, so everything would still be in the same order, just anchored to the bottom rather than the top. Surely there's a way to do this with CSS? I've looked around a bit, but can't find anything relevant. -Sam Walker * The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list getting help *
