[WSG] Peoplesoft and standards

2005-02-09 Thread J Rodgers
Hi, I am not too sure where else to ask about this. I have recently been part of discussions about the Peoplesoft application that we and many Universities use (not my fault) and its adherence to accessibility recommendations, and web standards. Peoplesoft claims to adhere to section 508.. Is

Yes please keep the fun posts out of here. I want more on CSS rounded corners please and site checks because that is so much more on topic than a conference about Web Standards and Accessibility being discussed in the webstandardsgroup.org mail list. Ok this post is OT and slightly flame.. But

I can say with 99% certainty the rendering is not IE nor Safari it is Macromedia's own rendering engine. In C3 when you browse web pages you get Safari or IE but when you click edit it flips to MM's own rendering engine. C3 was an improved rendering engine over Dreamweaver MX 2004 and the upgrade

Have you looked at it in Firefox? Or Safari? It looks even further off ;) Might want to not call the image in the background and use that to keep the content down where you want it. I think it's cause you are relying on the list of links in the top to push things down and the font renders awfully

I have come across some oddness in Safari (1.2.3 (v125.9) ) that I am not sure is mentioned anywhere... If it is, my apologies. I first noticed it with my little blog type play site. I was calling three style sheets from a site I am working on. If I call one that is not there the margins get

Yes that is a great page... The fix was simply to point to a style sheet that existed. The link I had to a blank one was broken. IE 5 displays both pages the same, it is only Safari that puts in some odd margin's in the p. Jesse On 10/13/04 12:54 PM, Kenneth Feldman [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

I really hate to ask (my CSS is crap-ish I know but...) I am out of patience on this fine Friday afternoon. Why is IE 6 doing what it does to the left nav on this page? http://pole.uwaterloo.ca/cpadev/engtest/howdoesitwork.html I want it nested, I know li id= would save me a load of grief. IE 6

Argh. Yes I usually do validate before asking for help to make sure its not me, and that explains everything. Sorry about that So IE will automagically insert the ul into the li above it.. Moz and others just ignore that *mistake* in the code. Time for Friday beer Thanks, Jesse On

Actually Canada has to accessibility requirements under any law. The Canadian Government has the Common Look and Feel Guidelines and in there they require WAI AA for all Federal Government sites (government workers in Canada correct me please). http://www.cio-dpi.gc.ca/clf-nsi/index_e.asp

Perhaps one of the biggest problems with accessibility is the lack of affordable assistive technologies (AT)? I think W3 complaint code mixed with some decent features should be all that is required on the developers end. The government would be better off spending more time and resources on

Actually I was thinking like the consultant that tried to pull the 'standards cost more' argument with two non-profits I do volunteer work for. The article you link to shows exactly what I have been saying for a long time.. I think scarcasm was lost in my post. Moving to XHTML/CSS will save me
