[WSG] XHTML 2.0

2006-08-11 Thread TuteC

Hello everyone!

I was reading the changes from XHTML 1 to 2, and saw many intereseting
and improved things. I was surprised when I saw (despite beign very
different ways of coding) the backwards copatibility, at
http://www.w3.org/TR/2006/WD-xhtml2-20060726/introduction.html#backCompat.

There it says that almost 95% of the browsers can handle XHTML 2.0,
since it is an XML based anguage and those browsers are also XML
based. Neat!

So, what do you think? Can we just start using these improvements?

Thanks in advance!
Best regards;
Eugenio.

I'd say no for the time being, unless you're building for a controlled
environment like an intranet.

The other 5% of browsers will most likely fail horribly, crashing,
asking to save the document, etc.
I'd imagine Google etc. would ignore the semantic elements of XHTML2, aswell.

I did some basic research into browser support for XML+CSS a while
back which may be of interest:
http://lindsayevans.com/experiments/xml_css/

I could get started on the lack of browser support for even XHTML1.1,
but I won't :)

I still don't understand; you have conflicting requirements. Without 
putting text in the SVG itself you will get scrollbars at some 
resolutions which you don't want, but you also don't want to put text in 
the SVG.


So please produce half-a-dozen mockups with different window-sizes and 
font-sizes to help explain how you wish the text and background to 
size in relation to each other, and please also lobby government to make 
helping some dude on a mailing list worthy of a knighthood.


actually, all i was trying to do was see if i could use z-indexing to 
put the text over the graphic.  i was not really trying for sizing of 
the graphic and text.  once i had the z-indexing working in all of the 
browsers, then i would work on the scaling aspect.  there is much i need 
to learn about working with this format.


i thank you for the time you spent on this issue with me.  you'll always 
be a knight in my book.

Don't believe it.  XHTML 2 is supported as much in current browsers, as 
would some FooML language that you've made up yourself.



There it says that almost 95% of the browsers can handle XHTML 2.0,


But, even all the browsers that currently support XHTML 1.x, have zero 
real support for XHTML 2.  Every single element in XHTML 2 is in a 
different namespace, and even though many share the same tag name, they 
are completely different elements.  In other words, xhtml1:p/ is a 
completely different element from xhtml2:p/.



since it is an XML based anguage and those browsers are also XML
based. Neat!


That's somewhat true, but all you can do is is attach a stylesheet to it 
using ?xml-stylesheet?.  That's fine for handling basic styling 
issues, but when it comes to things that require knowledge of the 
semantics to function, you're screwed.


Core attributes like href and src, which are usable on almost every 
single element in XHTML 2, will not function; not even on the a, img 
or object elements (because of the namespace issue).


There are ways you could work around it with CSS and/or XBL.  There is 
an experimental page that makes use of such techniques, but take a look 
at the source and you'll see just how much effort it takes, for such 
little benefit, and, besides that, support is still very limited.


http://w3future.com/weblog/gems/xhtml2.xml


So, what do you think? Can we just start using these improvements?


No.  It takes far too much effort to simulate XHTML 2 support in 
selected current browsers, for zero benefit.  You'd also have to 
consider accessibility issues, particularly screen readers.  Without 
known semantics, screen readers won't be able to read the text sensibly. 
e.g. They won't recognise headings or paragraph boundaries, or much else 
for that matter.  Then you've still got many other UAs to consider, like 
mobiles, search engines, etc.


IMHO, XHTML 2 is effectively irrelevant these days.  The work on (X)HTML 
5 from the WHATWG looks a lot more promising, with far more features and 
much better backwards compatibility.

I recently discovered this article/thread:

http://www.sitepoint.com/forums/showthread.php?t=393445

A good read... and touches on your question a bit:

What about XHTML 2.0?
What about it? It shows no signs of becoming even a candidate 
recommendation any time soon. We don't know what it will contain, but it 
seems as if it is not going to be backwards compatible with XHTML 1.0.


The author seems to be very knowledgeable when it comes to XHTML.

[WSG] xhtm 1.1 and Ruby annotations

2006-08-11 Thread Tee G. Peng

Thanks to Eugenio, I was reading the article from sitepoint forum.

XHTML 1.1 deprecates the lang attribute (in favour of xml:lang)  
and also the name attribute for a and map tags. It also adds a  
number of elements for Ruby annotations.


I have a question about XHTM 1.1, Ruby annotations and validation.

I do CSS coding for a company that its clients' sites are developed  
in Ruby. Every time I receive a job, I am curious why  they used  
XHTML 1.1 - I asked once but it was never answered. Now this part is  
clear with the article I'd just read. All jobs I received, the markup  
are full of errors (xhtml and html all mixed up), fixing the  
validation errors really isn't part of my job but  I try my best to  
clean up as much as possible (no pay because I was not asked to do  
it) however sometimes it's just not possible to help fixing it  
because almost every page uses iframe that the code is generated from  
server.


I learned that XML is about well-formness and with XTHML, no markup  
error should exist or browsers give parsing errors - those sites are  
served with XML and XHTML 1.1, but none of the sites I visited ever  
broken.


Why?

Two different meanings of the word Ruby: its clients' sites are 
developed in Ruby is the case of the Ruby programming language [1]. It 
also adds a number of elements for Ruby annotations is the case of 
special characters use to annotate ideographic languages [2].


[1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruby_programming_language
[2] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruby_character

It sounds like they don't actually understand what XHTML is or how to 
produce it, they just want to believe they're using the latest cool thing.

It's called an 'internal subset'.  Theoretically, you could do the same 
thing in HTML, since it's a valid SGML construct.  But, although it's 
supported in XML, support for it in HTML is virtually non-existent and, 
in current browsers, results in ] being output as content.

All you have to do it wrap it in a span with a class name (I've used 
brand) and away we go  :o)
 
You can style your branded company name any way you like and it works 
on all elements, including those with existing (multiple) class names.
 
Check it out and if you find any bugs, please let me know.

Cheers  :o)
 
Richard



Maybe it is a setting on my end? Not working for me:
Opera
Version9.01
Build8552
PlatformWin32
SystemWindows XP
and I default to fuchsia background-color.

  Hi Richard,
  Interesting bit of code, I could've used something like this a few
  years ago when we had a client that had part of their company name
  bolded  insisted on it following brand everywhere :)
 
  btw, I got the colours to change on the hover state using this CSS:
 
  a.brand:hover .b1 { color: #f00; }
  a.brand:hover .b2 { color: #0f0; }
  a.brand:hover .b3 { color: #00f; }
  a.brand:hover .b4 { color: #00e; }
  a.brand:hover .b5 { color: #00d; }
  a.brand:hover .b6 { color: #00c; }
  a.brand:hover .b7 { color: #00b; }
  a.brand:hover .b8 { color: #00a; }
 
  Is that what you were intending?

[WSG] IE6 ignores white-space; normal?

2006-08-11 Thread Dani Nordin | 401.787.5178
Title: IE6 ignores white-space; normal?



Hi all, 

I have a friend whos come across a problem I havent seen before. I was hoping the folks on this list might be able to help:

I have a block with white-space: nowrap, and within it, another block
with white-space: normal. My browsers (Safari and Firefox on OS X) do
just what they should, which is that text wraps in the inner block but
text outside the inner block doesn't wrap. But IE6 screenshots seem
to indicate that IE6 is ignoring the style on the inner block. I
tried doing an explicit p style=white-space: normaltext text.../p
in there, just to make sure I wasn't having CSS selector problems, but
IE6 still seems to inherit the nowrap into that paragraph. And I
can't seem to find anything about this googling around the web.

Is this a known problem? Have you run into it? Any workarounds?
-- Cos

Does anyone know about this issue, or if theres a workaround for it? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Cheers,

Dani Nordin

Re: [WSG] Branding - Accessible, Unobtrusive and Semantic

Javascript is great for immediate user interaction, but for page
modification like this it seems slow, redundant, and inefficient.  If
we're generating our pages server-side to begin with, why download an
incomplete markup to the client and then complete the markup with
javascript?  It makes sense when javascript executes differently
based on user actions and on conditions found only after download,
but I don't see that here.



I agree that, if possible, this type of thing is probably better done
on the server side. But regardless of whether it's done server or
client side, I think branding can be quite difficult to solve with CSS
 HTML alone, mainly because the required fonts often aren't
available.

Perhaps sIFR (Scalable Inman Flash Replacement) would be a viable
alternative (http://wiki.novemberborn.net/sifr/)?

Re: [WSG] i want my svg

actually, all i was trying to do was see if i could use z-indexing to

Well your SVG in IE problem might be more generic, as overlaying text on 
plugins is difficult (see the earlier thread How do I make html menu go 
over flash content in all the big browsers?).


If none of the answers in that thread suit you then you might consider 
using VML for IE and SVG for everything else, as I believe you can 
overlay text with that MS-only format.




i thank you for the time you spent on this issue with me.  you'll 
always be a knight in my book.


Awesome.

2006-08-11 Thread del usr
I seem to be getting a peek-a-boo type bug (but in firefox 1.5 linux) with this web template http://delusr.bigpondhosting.com/kam/
. So im told i cannot comfirm this but I was informed by a reliable source.
I have also noticed that with in IE v6 on a MS platform using
XP SP2 there is an issue relating to the hyperlinks on the product
images. There should be a red dashed border on the mouse over.This site has been tested with Firefox 
1.5.0.6 and Opera 8.54 and works well in both on a MS platform using windows XP SP2.Thanks in advance.
