Hi all,
I don't actually believe that CSS styling will make any difference to search
engine ranking.
These robots spend enough time trawling through the HTML content.
It would be time wasted to cross reference the content against: visibility,
display, colours used, z-index and positioning.

Hello, group.
Can get a bit of advice for you all, please? My client has suddenly
informed me that they would like to enable the images of their products
to be enlarged, if the user wishes. This wasn't originally in the spec,
and I didn't design it for such a feature. However, this morning I
Hi folks:
I'm trying to do something and I'm not sure if this is possible. What
I want to do is write simple sentence constructed of left floated
divs...like...
div class='sentence'This/div
div class='sentence'is/div
div class='sentence'a/div
div class='sentence'sentence./div

Thanks for that. I was missing the span display:block...plus I had
forgotten the simplicity of a floated div that doesn't have a width
applied to it.

Yep...it's will work in IE5/Mac is it's just span (without

Google do remove pages from their index. Current case in point is WordPress.
Andre Torrez http://notes.torrez.org/ was the first to note that links
to the articles (168,000 of them!) delare/delwere hidden on the
Wordpress homepage using negative positioning with CSS.

It still comes down to the legalities.
If Google receive a complaint, and it appears justifiable, then it is acted
upon in good faith.
There is a document trail which is admissible as proof.
If a googlebot, on the other hand, automatically bans a site for what it thinks
is wrong.

Information Architecture and relevance to Web Standards Development
I missed the bit where you explained the relevance to Web Standards,
but I'm sure you're just getting the topic warmed up :)
While IA is indeed important, only discussions specifically on IA
Web Standards would be on-topic

Flash actually is searchable.
Hmm. Does it have to be a specific version of flash, built a specific
way? Just thinking of claims that flash is accessible, which
actually means flash mx can be accessible if the developer really
knows what they are doing; and the user knows how to use it, has the

I have a global list question.
When creating custom bullets, I tend to use the background and padding
avenue. I know you can also assign an image as a bullet. My question is,
which is better? Is one method more bullet-proof?
Thank you for any input

How do you handle the situation of hidden elements becoming displayed when
the normal stylesheet is not used? Is this a problem that concerns you?
For example, I quite often have two headers - one which integrates with the
site design when viewed on screen, and one which is used for printing
Hi Ted,
All personal opinion, but the bullet as background image has a lot of
advantages:
- You have far more control over the positioning of the bullet, as you can
set it in any position using a range of units (pixel, ems, percents. You can
even position the bullets under the list items if
Hi,
There are several advatages to using list-style-image
you can click on the image to select the list item
it's slightly simpler
you can still have another background-image on the element
IMHO, the bullet as background image is still better though because of
buggy css support.

Pages should make sense when stylesheets are disabled (for users of

G'day Mates,
I've persuaded a client to convert their small web site to standards, and
I'm in the process of removing tables, and using CSS to control the layout
and design.
My problem is the main content area on the homepage is left justified in
IE, but center aligned in FF and Opera, which is
Hey Mario,
IE Doesnt understand margin: auto
You need to give the parent container text-align: center - then in the
child (#container) have: text-align: left to fix the centered text.
Simply add this to your body {} CSS:
text-align: center;
Because you already have: text-align: justify - there
Hi,
I think your question is a kind of FAQ, and the solution is adding
text-align:center; style to the body element, I guess.

Does any one know how to do this sort of menu with CSS
only? I am looking for something that works in Ie 5.5
and Firefox 1.0.
The example I'm looking at:

Chris,
I feel stupid! I completely forgot IE doesn't recognize margin: auto,
and I've inserted text-align: center in the CSS body rule in another
design.
Please forgive my temporary memory freeze :)
Again, I've just gotten started on the conversion, and do plan on removing
all table tags.

I have Safari 1.2.4 (v125.12) with OS-X version 10.3.8 - Your page is fine.
I know an earlier version of Safari had problems with some websites that used Javascript or some CGI scripts for user/password logins. But even that has gone away after the latest OS-X update.
