Re: [css-d] Color Contrast Disagreement

Appears that the WebAIM tool uses WCAG 2 recs, and the Juicy 
Studio tool uses WCAG 1 recs. That'd explain the differences.

I know how to do includes, I'd just like to hide the current page link..

hi Val,

Try this bit of style, which I cribbed off
http://www.askthecssguy.com/2006/12/showing_hyperlink_cues_with_cs_1.html

it needs to go in the head of the page you are on, and use that 
page name for yourcurrentpage.html

style type=text/css
!--
#links a[href~=yourcurrentpage.html] {

Not sure if it's a factor for your users, but be aware that 
selector will not be recognized by ie6.

Hi All

New to this CSS world but loving it.

I have seen many examples of tableless forms such as that at Dynamic Drive -
CSS Library
[snip]
However, I cannot find anything that works with ASP.NET components such

ASP:Label, ASP:TextBox etc.

Is it possible to do the same thing with .Net components (new to .net as
well)

Sure, the rendered html is label ... input ...

Unfortunately IDs on form elements are useless in .net for 
styling as M$ gloms hierarchy into the label to (presumably) 
insure uniqueness. The cascade and the CssClass attribute are 
your friends.

One _strong_ recommendation, please use the AssociatedControlID 
attribute to explicitly associate the labels with their related 
form inputs. Your screenreader users will be appreciative.

You really don't. Daily digests are meant for people who just read the

switch off digest mode.

Or find an email client that supports the digest format. 
Mailsmith on OSX does. I believe Agent (Windows) and Eudora

 Even clearing the cache doesn't seem to make it reload images loaded

Close all windows and then clear the cache. That seems to do it for me,
at least most of the time. Occasionally it's really stubborn and I have
to quit the app.

 Does this sound familiar to anyone? Is there a reason for it?

Don't know but I have noticed that Safari is stubborn about refreshing
changed style sheets. Option + Reload usually does it for me - I don't
seem to need to clear the cache.

 What I'm really nervous about, of course, is does anyone elso see a 
 blank page when they visit http://www.wildscaping.com AFTER emptying 
 their cache?

I tried it a few times OMM (10.4.3, Safari 2.0.2) and it loaded fine
each time.

Depending on the layout, you can...

float: left;
clear: left;

on the label.

 I'm Mac-ignorant
 
 I know that I can use Konqueror in Linux to test what websites will
 look like in Safari...but it's my understanding that it only covers
 more recent versions of Safari?  Do I assume that *most* Mac users
 have OSX?  Is there a percentage still using OS9?  If so, what do I
 use to test pages for them?  Do I test different versions of Safari as
 I would different versions of IE and Netscape?  What versions would be
 the most prevalent?

Safari Versions:

1.03 (OS 10.2.8)
1.3  (OS 10.3.9)
2.x  (OS 10.4.x)

In my experience, the rendering differences are minor. I wouldn't bother 
testing on anything below 1.03. One of the Safari developers has a blog:

http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/hyatt/

with good information about Safari.

The latest version of IE for OS 9 is 5.1.7 and is most likely the browser of 
choice for OS 9 users. Some OS 9 users opt for Wamcom:

http://wamcom.org/

Which I believe is based on 1.3.x Mozilla, but that's a pretty small crowd at 
this point.
