[WSG] Standard JS events and properties?

Google is full of post-netscape JS or adopted IE extensions... Where can I find authoritative list of standard (i.e. future-compatible, non-deprecated) JS properties for HTML/CSS manipulation? I'm using W3C DOM and events (I don't care about IE-compatibility), but what about manipilation of

Hi Neerav, No, unfortunately not. My own feeling is to offer sensible page summaries against each link (page) reference. To be honest, I've not looked into this further (other than feeling a bloody idiot that I hadn't made the site map page the first link in the set of skip navs - but we live

Subject: Re: [WSG] Quirks mode vs Standards mode

From Georg: I'm asking because after 2 years of studies on the subject, I still haven't found anything useful in IE6' standard mode, but I may have missed something. My first experience with putting IE6 into standards mode involved a simple table-based layout. I had an image followed by a header

Sorry, but I'm not near my normal computer for a few days so I can't check the email archives for this. A short while ago somebody wrote an article about achieving 100% height divs when using multiple columns. Their solution was something really simple but for the life of me I can't remember

[WSG] skip flash intro question

I'm wondering if a site would be more accessible if the flash intro (never mind how it's a bad idea to have a flash intro!) skipped automatically if the viewer had seen the intro before. I'm also wondering if I could detect browser for the sight impaired and skip the intro then too. I'm new to
