2012-08-22 Thread coder
Hi All, I have recently attempted to 'trap' spammers who use autofilling tactics on the site at www.gwelanmor-internet.co.uk. This is written in html5 and uses a mixture of simple tests to validate the form. However, yesterday I recvd a mail thus:

[WSG] how to force a cache bypass?

2012-07-20 Thread coder
OK, this isn't about standards, but it's more interesting than knowing that folk are not in the office . . . How can I make a web page appear as the latest version in all browsers, i.e., perform a cache bypass? And I don't mean for me - I mean for all visitors to the page? Is it possible?

[WSG] More on forms

Hi all, I've been looking at stuff like this (check for these chars and disable submit button if present): function check(node) { var re = new RegExp('[\?\\[\\]]', 'g'); document.getElementById('sub').disabled = re.test(node.value); } What I'm asking now is, is there an equivalent

[WSG] minimal use of modernizr?

2012-05-12 Thread coder
I have a very simple html5 contact form which I'd like to keep that way. However, the 'pattern' attribute isn't recognised by IE and I feel that it surely must be possible to just use a bit of modernizr to make it work. Example is: label for=email accesskey=EEmail/label input

I just wonder what the view of some 'anti-new windows' folk is towards using tabs? I would have thought that tabs are the new 'new windows'?? And doesn't the popularity of tabs imply that users do like to have more than one page 'on the go' instead of doing a lot of back and forwarding? I am

In one sense, this argument is fallacious, because whatever the web designer does decides what happens when a user just 'clicks a link'. In my experience, most folk 'out there' don't know about right clicking. To say 'it is the user's choice' is mainly untrue, because he/she doesn't know
