Sure I can! I use Opera - but I don't challenge that
inline-style-comment bug all that often.


PS Thunderbird spellchecks "Gunlaug" as "Onslaught"  heheh


Your Thunderbird didn't do too bad, really. "Gunlaug" means "dedicated
for war" in old Norse ;-)

[WSG] Site check [Dineen and Westcott] and IE bug

2006-08-24 Thread James Oppenheim

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.

James

[WSG] APPLET, EMBED, or OBJECT elements in IE

2006-04-19 Thread James Oppenheim

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?

[WSG] Site check [The Body Collection]

2006-04-01 Thread James Oppenheim
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. James
