RE: [WSG] Learning The DOM

Jeremy, How much JavaScript do you know? Enough to get myself in trouble! Reading Stuarts' book has enlightened me to loads of really useful things, but I realise that as far as scripting languages go (compared to, say, PHP or VBScript) I am just scraping the surface of JavaScript. What kind

Re: [WSG] using scalable vector graphics

Yes, fallback content can be a normal img / element with a fallback bitmap image, and further fallback alt-text. To make the width dynamic you need to do two things. 1) Your SVG image mustn't declare a fixed width in itself 2) You need to do the sizing with CSS. My preferred way is to place

RE: [WSG] Body tag background color changes

Re: [WSG] Body tag background color changes
