Re: [WSG] Strange character encoding issue
Your server send the data as: Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 but in your code says UTF-8. The values in the http-header overwrites any values in the document. ==> change the content type settig on your server or ==> use iso-8859-1 charset in your documents and only valid chars. hope this helps. Kind regards, Stefan James Jeffery wrote: Never had a problem with character encodings on web pages, but since I reinstalled the OS on my iMac I have had an issue.

Re: [WSG] Question on servers and Email campaign
Giving anyone outside your business root access to your sever is NOT wise at all. I was previously sharing a dedicaed server with a friend that turned out to be one of the largest bot farmers in Australia, and subsequently led the server being dDOS'd. Giving these people root access leaves any other client's on the server at their mercy, and if your other client's find out, they could have ground to sue you, especially if they're under the impression or your contracted to provide secure hosting. Personally I would report them to the spam cops, 'cos to me, that's what they look like to be. I bet their software is just a set of spam bots, and could possibly be used to infect site visitor''s systems from any of the sites you host. And therefore give them more bots to use to send spam. Graphics & Web Designing, LLC wrote: I am sorry to ask this question but I am very curious as to how others feel about this. I have a client that is purchasing E-mail listings from a company called expedia mail and I Was called and asked for my server's root access information so that they can download their Software onto my server for my clients email campaign. I refuse to give anyone access to MY server let alone my root access. Am I being rude and uncooperative on this or am I right? According to the lady I spoke with she claims that I am uncooperative and that they have many Companies give out there root access information to their servers. I just can NOT put my other clients at risk and give some other company access to my server Where they have full access to my server and all of my clients and my servers information and in Addition they can do as they please once I give them my root access information. Again, I would like to thank all for reading this post and I do hope this is not against WSG standards.

Re: [WSG] ARIA
It would be really nice, that instead of introducing more and more design element features like ARIA markup, that what is and isn't supported at different levels (HTML4 or HTML5 or XHTML), that w3c and the browser vendor's worked together to properly come to agreement on what should be used rather then what they want to make as they're own spin off. I mean, look at what IE does to CSS, and then Opera uses the standards differently although much better. At least, as far as I can tell Mozilla are the only ones to get it completely right, but then even it has it's own quirks. No, instead of developing new ways to write markup, they need to get into agreement (finally) of what the standards are truly going to be. I for one am tired of writing up code for different browser's and having to hack code around to make things work. What we need to be doing is pushing the vendor's into getting it right. James Jeffery wrote: Never really heard of ARIA until I came across it in a Web Development magazine (.net mag). I have just spent a few hours getting my head around it, and whilst I agree it looks useful for screen readers and such, isn't it less semantic? Applying attributes that would currently make your markup invalid is something which I am not happy about. Along with that, using to create a checkbox seems less semantic than using form elements. Is ARIA markup only supposed to be used with browsers who have JS enabled or sites that use alot of JS for dynamic content? What about browsers that don't support ARIA markup? I'm only dipping my feet in the water at the moment so I probably don't fully understand, but from what I have read so far it seems a bit wishy washy at the moment.

Hello,
The problem is that you are using absolute positioning for the
.gallerycontainer and on your browser I am sure that it looks fine but
if the user or client has the resolution set lower then everything gets
moved except for the content that is in .gallerycontainer. Try to resize
your browser and see what happens.
A suggestions is to try something like this
http://wisconsin.joekiosk.com/testing/test.html
The other problem you were having is that you were positioning the
larger image based on your browser size.
Hope this helps.

Re: [WSG] Developing for Mac Browsers
There are some differences between the windows versions and the mac versions, but if it works on windows, it is very likely it will work on mac as well.

Re: [WSG] standards-compliant designers
That's a great idea, I think i'll do that too. it's really annoying that people disregard the fact that there are other browsers out there, and make their site solely for ie6 and they don't even think about validating it... But your idea is good, to tell them about it will hopefully bring a change, especially if it gets a following and more people do it.

Re: please avoid forcing people to open pdf in browser! was Re: [WSG] To target or not
Maybe you should try Foxit Reader 2.0 http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/rd_intro.php PDF's won't be going away anytime soon, particularly from Government websites. There is also zero chance of having all PDF's done as HTML due to staffing and time constraints. The best you'll get is a link to an RTF/DOC and PDF version with some as HTML. What really bugs me are the people who supply the content with large hi res pictures in the PDF and get annoyed when we send it back saying shrink it. We manage to keep the majority of them under 3 MB (preferably 1MB or less) but that is a losing battle for some PDF's. Brett.

Is that documented somewhere? > This one still bothers me ... The alternatives I've seen invariably require _javascript_ and some of those _javascript_ methods give the user less choice and are also not well suited for user-generated content (often created with wysiwyg editors) I'm seeing a very annoying trend lately where quite a few sites are forcing pdf's to open in a new browser window with _javascript_. I do not think it is acceptable to force people to wait over a minute with a locked up browser for a slow plugin to start without warning! - at least give them the option to right-click and download it for offline viewing! (or better don't use pdf - use html! ) Government-related sites seem to be the worst offenders - They seem to have almost everything as pdf Until they fix browsers to not lock up while loading slow plugins or they fix acrobat reader to start more quickly I'll continue to regard sites that force people to view pdfs in a browser as being about on about the same level as those nasty porn sites with endless chains of popup windows. *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *** ) ***List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfmUnsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfmHelp: [EMAIL PROTECTED]***

Subject: [WSG] Tiling image problem
Hello All -
I'm setting a 1px by 770px image to repeat vertically within a wrapper div.
Difference is that I need this repeat to START 300px from the top of the
wrapper.
So far, no luck. Here's the code:
#wrapper {
position: relative;
width: 770px;
margin: 0 auto;
text-align: left;
background:
url(/resources/5661/assets/images_medical/wrapper_tile.jpg) repeat-y 0
300px;
}
Reason I'm starting off at 300px from the top is because I need the top of
the wrapper to be transparent so the tiling body background can be seen
above and below the header, but the area behind the nav and content areas
NEED to be white.
So, is it possible to start a tile a certain distance from the top of a
containing div?
If so, can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
If you'd like to see this live, look here: http://teratest.terapad.com
Thanks to all in advance!
Cole

Unfortunately, I had not heard about Web Standards until well after starting this site, but it's never too late! The latest section I'm about to add to the site is totally CSS and not a table in sight, except for tabular data. And after several days of trying, I finally got Suckerfish drop down menus to work. (Drop down menus are a non-negotiable requirement of the client, as is the huge sponsor's logo at the top of each page.) It is very important that this site be accessible and last well into the future -- unlike a commercial site, it is unlikely to get a major re-design every few years. So, I'd be very interested hear your comments. The design is very basic, but I've never claimed to be a graphic designer!

Tom, On search engines like Google there will be an adverse effect on optimization when using coldfusion. Remember Google is a "Hypertextual Web Search Engine" http://www-db.stanford.edu/~backrub/google.html so .html files are going to be most easily crawled. A major problem is flash, since most engines can not read flash files.

I'm working on a page that will consist of 2 columns that will sit inside a

getting pushed down in IE6+. If I remove the px from the width of the right
column so the style reads simply width:200; then the right column lines up
correctly with the left column. I've never heard of this before and it makes

Subject: [WSG] background image on a horizontal list.
Hello there!!
I've been a member here for some time, and now I will see if I as well can
get some help from you :)
First of all, I'm a beginner so don't shoot me!!
The problem:
On my webpage, I've created an unordered horizontal list for my main
navigation, where I use some homemade buttons as background (link,
visited,hover & active).
I've made those buttons 100px wide, but in the browsers I've tested them out
the hole background image is not visual .
It's a horizontal list, so I have used :{ display: inline; width: 100px;} in
the css, but the {with: 100px;}
declaration, doesn't seem to have any effect at all.
When I use {display:block; width: 100px; } it does'nt seem to be a problem
(other then the list transform in to a vertical list).
Here is the layout:
http://lennart-fylling.com
Here you can see how the buttons really look's like:

I hope here are some experts in this area, who can make may day much better.
I hope you understand both my problem and my "school english" :)

RE: [WSG] Standards compliant content management system.
I'm in the same situation only one step further forward. I'm considering either using the XHTML compliant Editor that is available although it looks a little unpredictable or changing my Content management system to allow the user to build up pages from components. Ie: they will select a component from a list to add to the page Paragraph, Ordered List, Quote etc. then Ill develop a css for each of these components. It limits the users ability to edit pages in the fullest terms but that could be a benefit rather than a weakness. What are others doing?

Re: [WSG] Correct way to swap style sheets based on Browser?
Thanks Ryan,
I was not aware of the @import and that its invisible to NN4
Are there any other browsers its invisible to? Anyone?
I am including all browsers across all platforms, I intend to create 2
style sheets, one fully styled and one semi then there is Stuff like Lynx
and screen readers that should not have the style sheet at all. Its just a
coincidence I didnt include them in my email.
I would rather use a server side script to include a specific sheet against
Brower/agent than javaScript. I was just wondering if there was a CSS
method for doing this.

It appears to me that you have pretty much every modern browser we deal
with day-to-day in your "allowance" section there.
I wouldn't recommend the use of JavaScript for browser-sniffing. This is
a practice best left back in the dark ages of web design with Netscrape
and IE proprietry page methods.
Since in NN4 you will (presumably? yoiu didn't specify) be using the
same HTML as you would for the others, you'll only want to feed NN4 what
it can understand and hide the rest from it. There is a technique that
works very well.
Make 2 stylesheets - name one basic, and name the other modern.
Style commands that NN4 can understand/handle without
crashing/misbehaving go in the basic CSS file.
All other styles are placed into modern.
at the top of basic, import modern -- @import url(modern.css);
NN4 is unable to use the @import function, and so it will not see the
style information you have placed into modern.
In your HTML heads, use
There is not really an option to say "Else, don't use the
stylesheets"... NN4 CSS support is extremely rudimentary. Generally, I
wouldn't worry about dealing with any other browsers. However, I notice
that you haven't included on your list IE5.2 Mac or Safari, etc. and
that all those listed are on the Windows platform. If you are thinking
of blocking out the styling of your pages on these other-platformed
browsers, I would discourage it. You should be able to offer some level
of styling to Mac as well as Linux with little trouble. Browsers on
these platforms (minus IE5.x OS8/9/X) aren't too troublesome to cater to.
On a side note, another post up, developing in IE6 or FF

RE: [WSG]
I believe Kay and Lea are both right. I would consider it to be like many other situations. They look for the Controlling Mind. i.e. the person in charge. If building a house its the house owner and the Builder (these can be companies, where the director or secretary would be responsible) not a laborer unless its plainly reckless. In our industry it will be where the Copy right or Intellectual Property is held. That said knowingly breaking the law, is wrong and contract or no contract, courts can hold you accountable. My 2p, one day this will have to be euro cents! My God!

Surely that would depend on your contract with the client - I'm pretty sure ours has all sorts of wriggly little disclaimers to guard against that kind of thing.

RE: [WSG]
Have a look at this its the same case Taco, but the discussion widens on the two laws that currently cover this area, ( to my knowledge ). http://www.etsi.org/cce/proceedings/5_1.htm I would guess that you are familial with the European Human Rights Bill and the Accessibility laws instituted in the last few years in Europe I would "guess" that anything here would be based on something similar. As a risk management issue I am sticking to what I know from Europe, hoping that this will be harder than any regulation here.

RE: [WSG] [OT] I want to keep the entered data in NN:form after history.go(-1)
I could ball sh** you all now, but I am in a good mood and will tell the truth and may it set me free!. Ive actually found the problem, now and it seems I have been using a hack that does not function in NN for some time I was nesting the and tags in between the and tags respectively so that the form did not add any carriage returns or other formatting to the page, as it was on line in the code that could not be rendered. This was causing the NN to just not fill in the fields with the previously entered data. Simple really write correct code and the browser will do the correct thing, hack and expect anything to happen. Lesson 1 of many I will learn today!

[WSG] Issues with min-height?
Hello, I'm Sarah, and I just joined WSG a few days ago :) I'm just learning CSS and I'm have a bit of trouble with min-height and tableless layouts. I want the content and the sidebar to stretch down all the way to the bottom of the screen. It kind of looks odd when the content/sidebar's background color just stops in the middle of the screen. I was trying to fiddle around with the following min-height hacks but maybe I'm just way over my head here. Any suggestions?
