[WSG] Site check [Dineen and Westcott] and IE bug
Hey all, I have just launched a new site; however, there seems to be a bug in IE on the PC on the following page. http://dineenandwestcott.com.au/about.php The floated content seems to drop under the sub-nav on the left when you resize the browser to different resolutions in IE on the PC. This problem does not happen in firefox, netscape, mozzila, advent and opera on the PC or firefox, safari and IE on the MAC. This does not happen on any other page. I have been playing around and when I when I take out the text between these two comments the page seems to work as intended: And Any thoughts on this would be much appreciated. Also, while you are looking at the site, any other comments, questions or suggestions would be fantastic. Thanks.

[WSG] APPLET, EMBED, or OBJECT elements in IE
Hi all, I am not sure if this is off the topic or not, but here we go anyway. On Tuesday I was testing a site I was developing and found that there was some rather strange behaviour with flash embedded on the page in IE. After some Google research I found out that apparently users cannot directly interact with Microsoft ActiveX controls (flash, java applets or windows media player) loaded by the APPLET, EMBED, or OBJECT elements as of the latest windows update: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/912945 What? They have to manually active it by clicking or hitting the enter or tab buttons. Here are some links that I found explaining the problem: http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/author/dhtml/overview/activating_activex.asp http://forums.swishzone.com/index.php?showtopic=34521 http://www.frontpagetalk.com/forums/m_74610/appid_15/p_/mpage_1/key_/tmode_/smode_/s_/tm.htm#74610 On another post someone suggested the using Unobtrusive Flash Objects (UFO) http://www.bobbyvandersluis.com/ufo/ Should we have to use JavaScript to use these types of plug ins? What if JavaScript is disabled? Is there a standards compliant / usability friendly way of fixing this? And should we send a bill to Microsoft for the time it takes to fix this problem? ** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help **
[WSG] Site check [The Body Collection]
Hi all, I would like some comments on a site that I am currently developing. It's temporarily located at: http://www.showandtell.com.au/bodycollection/ Comment on style, code, usability, semantics, what ever. I have only done one page so far as the client wanted an introductory page that then leads into the main site. Cheers.
