Re: [WSG] This sounds really silly BUT
Hi Gary, I am inserting what I think is a plane old link like this a href=#1Item 1/a a name=1Some Text/a I am doing this with Coldfusion on the server but that would be irrelative I would have thought? when you click the link it moves the page to the root of the folder rather than the URL I am currently on? Its driving me mad! to seems so small and silly, i've done these thousands of times before but this time its not having it! Any one care to speculate why? It reminds me of an old CF bug that used to make it throw a wobbly on named links like that. Even tho' you were not in a cfoutput statement the hash threw it. I am wracking my brains to remember the fix and failing I'm afraid but it is probably a CF problem, therefore completely off-topic for this List :-) -- Yours, Kym * 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] IE 5.5 CSS problem- to do with media=print?
Hi all, Is there a problem with IE 5.5 and printable style sheets? I have a page (on a CD, so i can't send teh url) with the following styles style type="text/css" media="all"@import url("../mcq_images/mcq_css.css");/style style type="text/css" media="print"@import url("../mcq_images/mcq_print_css.css");/style This works fine on most browsers, but on IE 5.5 there seems to be some stuff missing from the HTML. This is the same stuff that is excluded in the printable stylesheet. !--#printtipcontainer {display:none;}#mcqnav {display:none;}.stats_table {page-break-inside:avoid;}#page_container {page-break-after:always;}-- Could IE 5.5 be displaying the print style sheet along with the normal stylesheet? Is this a known problem, or have i done something stupid!? Thanks, Gavin
RE: [WSG] This sounds really silly BUT
If you are working on a CF server, you probably have to escape the # since this is something used by CF in a different context (i.e., for designating that you want to work with the value of a variable). I think you do it by doubling up the hashes: ## See if that works.

Re: [WSG] Valid Flash...
For some things the lack of streaming can be very restrictive as there are several things you cannot do with a loaded movie. Sure modularising the movie is a good plan, but there are times that you need access to that root level of the movie. What I don't understand is why someone would bother... to me flash is not a W3C standard, thus it will not validate... but maybe that is just me. If you read hixie's page you will see that he is pretty anti flash anyways so I doubt he has thoroughly tested this, so it could through up unforseen problems (or maybe not, but we don't know, see unforseen above) As for the streaming of Flash, modularising the movie is the solution to this and probably should be implemented on every Flash app, instead of having one movie do everything.

Re: [WSG] Valid Flash...
I am not a big fan of Macromedia Flash. To me, it will always be a proprietary format with an accessibility problem, despite Macromedia's efforts to promote otherwise; however, it cannot be discounted as a web medium. Until SVG becomes more widely accepted, Flash is King. I chose not to use it for personal work, but I will happily use it if a client requests it. Thus far, I have been forced to use the Satay method to include it in my work. Ian Hickson's solution appears to be sound. Anne van Kesteren rightly points out that it creates more markup, and has to resort to conditional comments, but it does represent a simpler solution to that proposed by A List Apart's twice-cooked method. I will probably use this method, until a better one presents itself.

Re: [WSG] Valid Flash...
Leo There are a few things happening here: * The object tag is HTML so you'd need to leave quite a few attributes in the tag structure. A few of the presentational elements could go in a stylesheet (like bgcolor, width and height), I believe. * IE for Win completely barfs when multiple object tags are presented. The ideas behind nesting object tags is to present a cascading media.. those who can't render application/x-shockwave-flash could render an object containing a PNG. If they don't do either then plain text can be nested in the object tag holding the PNG. This is apparently the XHTML2.0 way of rendering media, as IMG will be deprecated - but not for a long while yet :D - so we may see a change in IE to compensate for this in the far future. The reason the standard object/embed tag structure doesn't validate is that embed is a Netscape tag. Using one object tag for all browsers allows validation and the run offs from that. Just like the object/embed method, this one is a hack to get validation across multiple browsers -- much better to work on the single tag method. Leo J.

[WSG] RSS or Atom for an events calendar?
Hi all, Hopefully this is an applicable place to discuss this. I've just started looking into RSS/Atom/etc (news feeds in XML), and everything is going pretty well, but I'm working on a website for a band, and the news feeds seem easy enough, but I'm interested in the possibility of using RSS or Atom for calendar events (shows and tours). But I'm not sure RSS/Atom can be used in this way. The theory behind shows for a band is that they need to be advertised/shown UPTO the date of the event, then they're irrelevant. The theory behind news readers is that once you've read something, it no longer exists, which is not what I'm aiming for of course. RSS2.0 only seems to have a published date, not an expiry date, so that doesn't seem to help. Atom seems to have issued and modified, but again no expiry. So, how can I take advantage of RSS/Atom/etc to keep fans up-to-date with shows/tours? Some ideas I have: a) when a show is added/edited/deleted from the show database, a news item is created advising of the new/revised/deleted show, which would of course appear in the news feed. The advantage here is that there's multiple news items which can be tracked. The disadvantage is that shows won't appear in date order (or reverse date order) -- they'll simply be added to the feed as things change. b) a news feed of *just one item* containing a summary of all upcoming gigs is offered over RSS/Atom... as the gig database changes, this news item is either *modified*, or *over-written* with a new summary... the advantage here is that the summary will be ordered correctly, and the latest (and only) news post will contain all the information in one hit.

Re: [WSG] RSS or Atom for an events calendar?
The only thing that will be useful for the general public is a basic RSS/ATOM feed that just announces dates when you know about them. You cannot build something that is going to somehow be useful in terms of edits or deletes. This sort of syndication is typically aggregated and kept at the discretion of the user -- sending additional info like the event is no more will only confuse folks. There is plenty of value in announcing new upcoming events though. You might also consider generating an iCal feed which is simple enough -- although Outlook has no idea (as per usual) the rest of the calendaring world regards iCal as a common protocol. -- geoff http://www.daemon.com.au/ Justin French wrote: Hi all, Hopefully this is an applicable place to discuss this.

[WSG] Yarr, I think IE hates me :(
I am having major issues with this layout. I've been working on it for a long time and it's just not cooperating in IE. The basic layout was lifted from MaxDesign's 2-column liquid layout (http://css.maxdesign.com.au/floatutorial/). http://readordie.org/test/ It works like a dream in Firebird, but in IE, the menu on the left is causing a big gap in the content area. The more you add to the menu, the bigger the gap. I don't know what's causing it. In addition, in IE there is some kind of error on line 18, character 9, which is div class=upgrade. Also, for pages where the content is short, such as http://readordie.org/test/index.php?page=updates , how do I fix it so that the content's background color and left pink border extends down to the footer (where the copyright is)? I used to use min-height and set a really large number, such as 1200px, but I'm writing articles for my fansite that might be exceeding 1200px. If anyone can help, I would appreciate it! :D - Sarah -- Read or Die http://www.readordie.org/ * The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list getting help *

That's a bit strange I've never had a br class=clear / not work in firefox the spacing is fine but i can see the hr at the very bottom of the wrapper in ie i cant see the hr but i have too much space at the bottom of the page ...it should only show 5px margin... how do i make them go away...? I was trying to do this yesterday and eventually went back to using a br. IE was the only browser causing trouble, and I tried many different suggestions I found on the net I found a post by Eric Meyer to add visibility:hidden, but that still takes up space. So I would also like to hear if anyone has a solution Regards Jason Turnbull * The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list getting help * * The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list getting help *
