I think your problem has a bit to do with the box model manhandling of IE6's engine. 
When you're using
specified witdths in your CSS, be careful about also specifying the padding -- it'll 
break lots of stuff
in IE. Can get around with Tantek's V-F hack 
(http://www.tantek.com/CSS/Examples/boxmodelhack.html) or
just avoid using width+padding in block elements.
under #navigation li a, I don't think you should need a width:100% .. li will fill up 
the space they reside
in horizontally unless limited by a max-width/width.

Re: [WSG] Help with IE 6

2004-06-07 Thread Chris Stratford




They are right - you dont need width: 100%

the only adverse effect that will have - now you wont see the HOVER
Effect unless you hover over the TEXT and not the BOX
in IE ONLY...

Most other browsers this will work still...


NOTE:
Im only fairly sure what I said is true.
I have been in similar situations, and the width: 100% was the same
issue.
And removing it - caused what I described above to happen...
:)

You now have a problem that it doesnt
look correct in IE5 without the 100%



So maybe do something like  in the
actual page:



!--[if IE 5]

style type=text/css media=screen#navcontainer li a{width: 100%;}/style![endif]--

[WSG] Min-Width IE Workaround ?

2004-06-07 Thread Mark Harwood
Im starting to create a Fluid CSS design, which im finding to be quite and arse
in IE...

But anyways, i've got the basic layout created, but i would now like to have a
min-width, but just cant think of a way of getting it to work in IE.

So what im asking is... Does anyone know a min-width work around or hack? that
would at least give me the ability to set some form of restrain on the width of
the site.

Many thanks

Re: [WSG] getting ride of table layout

This is a perfect example of tabular data - it is semantically correct
inside a table. Instead of thinking of ways to convert it into divs, you
should be working on implementing accessibility features:
id, headers for, summary, caption, etc.

A rough example if id's and headers in action is here:

 Hi Jad
 
 That really looks like table data to me  so I think its best to keep
 it in tables. Tables are not evil in and of themselves, in fact they
 are very useful in cases like yours. Its just when they are abused
 that the problems start.
 
 If I was to improve on that code, i'd start by moving all the
 presentational stuff out to a style sheet (font tags, width  height
 attributes).
 
 I'd also try to use some of the more semantic table related tags 
 attributes like caption, thead, tfoot, th and so one.
 
 See http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG10-HTML-TECHS/#tables and

[WSG] List daddy lecture time (speaking of grumpy list managers)

2004-06-07 Thread Peter Firminger
Hi everyone,

Please reply directly to [EMAIL PROTECTED] NOT the list. If need be I'll post
relevant discussion somewhere.

At the bottom of all posts (well most as it doesn't get added when people send
horrible HTML email) there is a link to the guidelines. The link is
http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm

Can I please ask you to read this page.

A few points I'd like to emphasise:

A) Try to use plain text email rather than HTML email where possible.

B) Thank people that help you OFF LIST please.

C) Read all the posts in your inbox before answering so that multiple similar
answers are avoided as much as possible.

Point A) There is generally no excuse (unless you're using a webmail
interface) as to why you can't set your email program to force plain text
email to this address.

Point C) Not always possible as people may be writing the same answer at the
same time but when the same answer comes in over a long period it's clear that
some people are not checking the rest of the posts with the same subject
before answering.

I'll add another three here...

D) If you are replying to multiple replies to your question, do them all in
one email rather than replying to each one.

E) When replying, clean up the post before sending. Remove the quoted bits
that you're not replying to and remove the headers and the WSG footer from the
previous post. It just makes it easier to read. Also, if it was an HTML email
and you have the ability to reply in text format, please change it to plain
text.

F) For broad topics like Min-width, try Google or even searching our
archives (in the members section of the website or on
http://www.mail-archive.com/wsg%40webstandardsgroup.org/) first. This should
not always be your first place top look for information. Try the resources
section of the WSG site as well. We are more than happy to help if you can't
find an answer to a problem but at least try looking for the answer yourself
first. Otherwise, the answer will probably be a link to a well-known resource
and not a lot more.

We have had a lot of traffic over the past 4 days and much of it was
repetitive and should probably have been done directly to the poster.

Repetitive and non-essential traffic is the main reason people leave the list.
Just think about it when posting and try to be lean and considerate. Yes we do
get complaints and frankly, I agree with them.

Senders address are not hidden and it is often better to answer off list (I do
as many of you know). If you can't see the address of the sender then you
probably need to adjust the preferences in your mail reader to display it.

I don't want to be grumpy about this but people are getting sick of opening
their inbox on Monday morning and having 100+ messages from this list to wade
through, especially when not much real discussion took place. It's
counteractive as they'll probably delete them all and miss something that may
have been of use to them.

Be self regulatory so we don't have to step in. If it's off-topic, don't post
it here. If you're not sure, ask us ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) first. If someone else
posts an off-topic question (and you know it's off-topic) don't reply to it on
list. If it's a thank you message to someone that helped you, then please
thank them directly to their email address (and don't forget to do so).

I am going to be heavy on OT posts from now on. This list DOES NOT cover
everything. There is a list of what is and isn't on-topic in the guidelines
and as stated before, the link is in the footer of most posts so you have no
excuse for not knowing.

You can all edit the resources section of the website so please take the
initiative to set up new categories or add to the subjects that exist already.
These resources are there to be used and may well answer some questions.

Thanks for reading.

I repeat... Please reply directly to [EMAIL PROTECTED] NOT the list (not that I
expect any discussion on this). I'm not joking.

[WSG] Unordered list problem on IE5.2Mac

2004-06-07 Thread Ryan Christie
Hi list :)
I've got every other quirk squashed except this unordered list one.
Is there a way to reposition the unordered list while keeping the square 
bullets where they're supposed to be, or will I have to fake this
with a background image? I've gotten the text to move where it's 
supposed to be, but the bullets don't seem to care.

The ul is inside a div, and the div is positioned. I thought maybe that 
would do the trick instead of repo the ul, but nope.

[WSG] Non-linking printable text in Navigation Lists

2004-06-07 Thread RC Pierce
Is there a trick that I haven't learned yet with regard to WAI Recommendation 10.5; to 
wit:

10.5 Until user agents (including assistive technologies) render adjacent links 
distinctly, include
non-link, printable characters (surrounded by spaces) between adjacent links. 
[Priority 3]

The reason I ask, is that I have yet to see anything of the sort in the navigation 
lists of the many
sites that have been posted to the list, thus far.

What method of 'you' using in 'your' nav lists to comply with this recommendation?

The technique that I have employed (in various forms) is to create a container for the 
printable
character (and spaces) and then style it, display:none;.

eg.

style type=text/css
#navlist li em {
display:none;
}
/style

div id=navlist
ul
lia title=link somewhere href=#link somewhere/aem | em/li
/ul
/div

Any comments?

Re: [WSG] getting ride of table layout

2004-06-07 Thread RC Pierce
One question, though: When this table is linearized will it still make sense?

If I have gathered correctly what Russ and others said in the linearization thread, 
would it make
more sense to have the columnar data in the rows, and vice-versa? That way, when the 
data is
linearized, it will flow as:

nbsp; = Disk Space = Bandwidth = c.; =
Bronze = 400 MB = 7 GB = c.; =
Silver = c.; =
Gold = c.; =
Platinum = c.;

Please feel free to debunk this interpretation--I am here to learn, after all.

This is a perfect example of tabular data - it is semantically correct
inside a table. Instead of thinking of ways to convert it into divs, you
should be working on implementing accessibility features: id, headers
for, summary, caption, etc.

A rough example if id's and headers in action is here:

2004-06-07 Thread Patrick Lauke
 One question, though: When this table is linearized will it still make sense?
 
In the case of properly coded (read: with correct table headings, scope, etc)
data tables, meaningful linearisation should be taken care of by the user agent.
Don't worry about it...this should not, in my view anyway, influence your table
structure; the actual nature of the data should. The table, as it stands in the
thread starter's example, works fine the way it is.

RE: [WSG] Non-linking printable text in Navigation Lists

2004-06-07 Thread Patrick Lauke
This is arguably an obsolete rule. I would posit that it does not
apply to cases in which links are contained within completely
separate block level elements (e.g. unordered lists' items). It is,
however, good practice to still use some sort of separator (pipe,
or even a non-breaking space character) in the case where links
are adjacent within the same block (even if they're contained within
separate inline elements, e.g. span).
 
My interpretation, anyway.

Re: [WSG] NS6 indiscrepancies

2004-06-07 Thread James Ellis
Hi
Netscape 6 is not a stable browser, it's built off Mozilla alpha code 
(i.e about 0.9) (v7 is  a branch off Mozilla 1.1, I believe). There is a 
thread on this topic about a month or two back with some links to the 
Mozilla roadmap - try a search at mail-archive.com

The 6 was put in for Netscape to get ahead of MSIE in the versioning 
game - you'll find less people use it than Netscape 4.

Hi all,

My first email to the list, just joined a couple of days ago..

Amit, that one looks like IE's rendering of a space character between li's
containing block elements ie. a style=display:block , when you have
white space between your lis (as one would).

eg:
lia href=#subitem two/ali
lia href=#subitem three/ali

will leave a space between items, but:

lia href=#subitem two/alilia href=#subitem three/ali

will not result in the space..

I'm not quite sure if there's a tidy solution to this... I'm currently
either putting all lis on a single line of code, or breaking the tags in
an irregular manner. Anyone got anything better?

[WSG] Ordered list mark-up

2004-06-07 Thread CHAUDHRY, Bhuvnesh
Title: Ordered list mark-up





Hi guys,


I was wondering if you could tell me how to mark-up an ordered list using CSS so that the bullets are enclosed in parenthesis, e.g.

(a) Text piece 1
(b) Whatever


Thanks

RE: [WSG] Ordered list mark-up

2004-06-07 Thread Bert Doorn
G'day

Well, the specs appear to have provision for it.  Unfortunately the vast
majority of browsers do not (yet) seem to support it.

!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC -//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0//EN
 HTML
HEAD
  TITLEContent alignment in the marker box/TITLE
  STYLE type=text/css
   LI:before { 
   display: marker;
   content: ( counter(counter,lower-alpha) ) ;
   counter-increment: counter;
   width: 3em;
   text-align: center;
   }
  /STYLE
   /HEAD
   BODY
 OL
   LI This is the first item.
   LI This is the second item.
   LI This is the third item.
 /OL
   /BODY
 /HTML

I've tested this code in Opera 7.5, MSIE 6, Mozilla 1.6 and Firefox 0.8.  
It worked only in Opera, where it displayed both the regular 1 and the
(a) like this:

  1. (a) This is the first item. 
  2. (b) This is the second item.
  3. (c) This is the third item.

(you'd need to set the ol's list-style to none, to suppress the numbers)

The others just showed a numbered list:

  1. This is the first item. 
  2. This is the second item.
  3. This is the third item.

Perhaps others have experimented with this and found a way for it to work in
other browsers.

Re: [WSG] getting ride of table layout

I haven't looked at the source of the table in the OP, but if you 
correctly use th tags to define which cells are the headers, and only 
use td tags for the content cells then the browser will handle this for 
you.
You can get clever and offer abbreviations and such - I believe the 
attribute is 'abbr'? - but I don't have an URL handy. Google is your 
friend. :)

[WSG] IE 7 Promo Images

Title: [WSG] IE 7 Promo Images 
Hey guys. Yerba Buena Web Design (my own small design agency, which hasn't even officially opened yet) has created two IE 7 Promo Images. Dean Edwards modified the first one (to fit his layout and design) and made it the official IE 7 Logo.

I'd like your opinion on these two images (please remember that I'm a beginner at design).  
 
I hope you like them :)

Im having trouble understanding how you think IE7 
would be broken?!
I wouldnt abuse IE7 to be broken without it 
actually being released yet. It might shock you ;)

Microsoft have said their putting more time and 
manpower into IE7 than previous versions...

Sean,
This is not a general web/ graphic design list, perhaps you'd like to 
go find one for this sort of discussion? http://webdesign-l.com/ is one 
suggestion.

[WSG] new window losing it's anchor place

2004-06-07 Thread Phillips, Wendy
I'm using the recommended accessible way to open a new browser window (yes, I know but 
it's an elearning module and we have to link out to internal content so learners can 
view reference material without losing their place, plus they are quite used to this 
method).

However, I'm finding that if the window is opened small to an anchor on the opened 
page, when the window is resized, the content in the window changes to another section 
of the page - about a half page worth downwards

a 
href=http://www.cdn.telstra.com.au/cc-foss/url/1product/isdn2blcomplete.htm#how_work; 
onclick=window.open(this.href, 'popupwindow', 
'toolbar=yes,location=yes,status=yes,menubar=yes,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width=300,height=300');
 return false;

any fixes welcome...

Title: RE: [WSG] new window losing it's anchor place






Hi Wendy

1. Where is #how_work on the page?

2. You should also add onkeypress=window.open(this.href, 'popupwindow', 'toolbar=yes,location=yes,status=yes,menubar=yes,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width=300,height=300'); return false; just to make sure it's available via keyboard only.

RE: [WSG] new window losing it's anchor place

2004-06-07 Thread Phillips, Wendy
Title: RE: [WSG] new window losing it's anchor place



Not 
sure how onkeypress would interfere with other similar links on the page - the 
link can be tabbed to and therefore works via keyboard only.

The 
page that opens in the new window has a number of anchor links - this is just 
one of them. I've tried changing to different anchors and the same problem 
occurs, unless it is the last anchor on the page and there is no where else for 
the window to shift to. I can only presume it's something to do with the window 
refreshing itself when it is resized?
