[WSG] valid lightbox++ ??

[designer]

I expect some may consider this off-topic, though it isn't really :- ).

I recently tried using lightbox and then lightbox++ , the latter because it 
enables flash movies to be presented in the same way as images did in 
lightbox.  However, the big pitfall is that in order to make it work the 
syntax has to be of this form:


title="Gwelanmor Internet - flash version">
 width="250" height="147">




You'll notice that the a href has a width and height specified, but of 
course that won't validate.  I've googled, but found no mention of this. I 
wondered if anyone here has encountered it, or better yet, solved it?


Any bright ideas to solve this non validation?

Thanks,

Bob

There's a jQuery plugin called "metadata" that allows you to put these
kinds of options inside the class=" " attribute. An example is on this
page:

http://jqueryjs.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/plugins/metadata/test/index.html

The tags that use a data=" " attribute don't validate, but the ones
that use class=" " seem to validate. Maybe you could try to find a way
to use the class=" " attribute to pass your options to Lightbox++, or
use a similar plugin for jQuery that allows options to be submitted
via the metadata plugin. This way you won't have to rely on putting
incorrect attributes in your tags.

I am not exactly sure if this way is the best. I think you should
incorporate a new CSS rule into your CSS and specify with a class assigning
to that lightbox link to it. With the flash, you would want to add to have
the width and height to the CSS rule so it doesn't have to show up on the
HTML validation radar.

[WSG] PopDown Menu NCFH

[Chris Kennon]

Hi All,

It's been a while, but given the season, not only could I use the  
wisdom of the list, but the subject matter of the project begs a  
collaborative effort. The National Center on Family Homeless redesign  
requires drop-down menus, of which I'm not a fan, but are required.  
Would those experienced with Pure CSS Drop-Downs assist my effort?  
I've them started but the :hover disrupts the parent list.







Respectfully,
CK

Hi Chris,

The best information I've found regarding pure CSS drop down menus can
be found here:

http://www.alistapart.com/articles/dropdowns/

The article does mention the fact that it won't work with IE6 (and
gives you some javascript to get around it), but it's as pure--and as
simple--as I've found so far.

Cheers,
Jelina

Re: [WSG] Fonts

[Luke Hoggett]

Hi,

Do you have the fonts on your computer? You don't give us enough 
information to answer your question. What type of computer are you using?


also google is you friend, this isn't really a help-list
