[WSG] Validate a PNG?

I'm involved in a template competition at the moment and the requirements state XHTML and CSS compliance as a specific requirement for submission to the contest. The twist is that the designs must be submitted as PNG or JPG, and as far as I know, there isn't a mechanical validation system that

Hi, The only structural difference I see is the copyright notice at http://artloft.com.au/michael_leunig.html as a paragraph within your contents div. Try to make a separate footer div with this notice outside the contents div. Regards, Janos 2005/11/9, Andrew Ivin [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hi all,

[WSG] Font resizing

I was just wondering what everyone's opinion of font resizing using stylesheet swapping? I'm wondering if it's still useful given that it's useless to people using screen readers, people with vision impairment will probably be more likely to us a screen magnifier, and others can use their

Re: [WSG] Font resizing

I'd imagine that most people would not know that the browser supports it, so offering it up on the page could be a good idea. I'd think hard about using it though, if your site involves alot of text then it's worthwhile, but if your using it just as a gimmack to show off I'd avoid it.. David

From my experience there are a lot of people who have got a vision impairment, yet do not use Magnifiers or don't know how to manually change the browser font size. If you think about it - a vision impairment could be just caused by old age or even tiredness. Just because somebody has got slight

Re: [WSG] Font resizing

In my opinion you should make it accessible to begin with, and then provide options (Or allow users to change with their browser tools) to let it suit users needs. It was amazing the positive feedback I received when I styled a RSS feed for a blog so that the blog titles were IMO really huge
