[WSG] WebSite Feedback
Hi. could people take a look at this site i have created, send me honest feedback, and what could be done to improve the look, feel and content of this site at http://marvin.webboy.net/ cheers Marvin. ps: the main problems, were that had to wrap the text around, or would have been a lot of white space, and blank lines, jaws saying between paragraphs, so got this trick from a friend. would like just to have the standard paragraphs, but then when reading in line mode, says blank line. i know there is some trick to do that, without being very complex. now, think i might have problems with my tables, being coded accessibly. want to have the actor name, and part heading all on one line, with a space in between, and the same format for the table data, actor and part on one line with a space, instead of being on two lines. to look appealing to sighted users, and also to be accessible to blind users. now, on my 80s music site, do i need a heading, called Website Links, for my 3 80s links, or just tack it on to the end of the navigation links. those are the main problems, i am having. and yes, had to do the new windows, in a new window, as if i put the target to nothing, it goes to the navigation section, instead of top of the page. that's about it, apart from that, pretty pleased with this site so far. _ Advertisement: House hunt online now! http://a.ninemsn.com.au/b.aspx?URL=http%3A%2F%2Fninemsn%2Erealestate%2Ecom%2Eau%2Fcgi%2Dbin%2Frsearch%3Fa%3Dbhp%26t%3Dres%26cu%3DMSN_t=758874163_r=HM_EndText_Nov06_m=EXT *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ***

[WSG] FW: Re: JAWS and Frontpage with frames?
From: Jorge Laranjo [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: marvin hunkin [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: JAWS and Frontpage with frames? Date: Thu, 01 Jan 1970 04:24:02 +0100 Ok. Here I am again. Here are the replys to your questions. If you need more help, please, feel free to ask me. 1. when i have a paragraph, and want a link to a site on the same line, it wraps round to the next line. how do i get this to stop and be on the same line. Well, I don't really understand your question about this issue. When you use the p marker you are telling to the browser that that text (inside the tags p is a paragraph.). So, if you type, for example, pParagraph text/p a href=#link/a then your link will wrap to the next line. But, im the other hand, if you type pParagraph text a href=#link/a/p then this doesn't happen. 2. for my table headings and table data, would like them side by side, with a space, instead of being on two sepearate lines. how do i do this? I really like the way they are but it's your call. You can do that by editing the CSS file. Just add a class for that and try something like this: th class=your class. But I really can't understand what really do you want. Afterall, table header should be... header! :-D 3. with my paragraph tags, in internet explorer, jaws says a blank line in between my paragraphs. so how do i get the blank line, now to say blank, in between my paragraphs. I really don't have Internet Explorer (I use MAC OS X) and can't test this site with Jaws. I can't understand this either. Please try to record the JAWS (on audio) so I can hear to and tell me in what files (HTML) that appens. please let me know asap. and using frames, and css, and hand coding everything. and still also for my star trek and 80s music back to my main links page, not going there. This is the target problem. Change the target to content and just load the TOC file and not the INDEX file. so how do i fix the url link on the hard disk? cheers Marvin. -- Atentamente, Jorge Laranjo email [EMAIL PROTECTED] gTalk [EMAIL PROTECTED] msn [EMAIL PROTECTED] aim [EMAIL PROTECTED] skype jorge.laranjo http://www.olhares.com/fueg0/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/fueg0/ http://www.usefilm.com/photographer/102876.html Hi. if this thread is off topic, then i apologize. then maybe point me to another list for these questions asked a friend to help me, but he does not have internet explorer, and not jaws. so if any one can help me out with the questions below, then e-mail me privately. cheers Marvin. ** 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] Copyright Question
Hi. now just wondering with the relaxation of laws, that will make it legal for us to in our own private homes, able to tape tv shows, from video, and dvd, and able to convert music in any format, to listen to. now, was developing a 80s music site, and had burned my own copies of 80s tracks, from cda to mp3 format. now, did e-mail the record companies, in australia, and have them on the hard disk. now, was wondering, if i did put them on a server, even though the tracks are 17 to 26 years old, why would i have to pay royalties to the copyright holders, or the record companies. would like to allow people to download my tracks, but got the third degree from the four main record companies in australia, that it would be illegal. now being an honest guy and a christian, would not do that. so here are some questions: 1. what would happen, if i did pay copyright or royalties, then would i be able to say make my site into a business, and charge for downloads? 2. how would i do that, in a legal way, to cover my self? 3. now, if other people, say in australia, or overseas, know it is illegal, but put up their music collections from the 70s and 80s, which there are heaps of sites, and music downloads, what would be the rammifcations, of that illegally? would i be prosecuted? just food for thought. would really love to do this, but still illegal. if any lawyers on this list, or know of any, could they give their 2 cents worth on this issue. would really love to do this, but cannot do this, until they either change the law, or make it possible, for us individuals to do this legally. cheers Marvin. ** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list getting help **
