Re: [WSG] IE5 Mac-friendly drop down menus

2004-06-28 Thread dan
There are two reasons we changed over to using window.attachEvent.  Firstly, its
is a IE only method so in effect it does its own branching for IE and secondly,
you can add multiple events on the same handler which means you could lump
several functions onto the onload handler rather than just the one.  So in
short, it's a little bit neater but its nothing you can't get around.  If you
need to run other functions on window.onload just do sommat like this:

window.onload = function() {
sfHover();
otherThing();
anotherThing();
}

When I get a chance I'll put a note about this on the article as a fair amount
of people have brought it up and the answer is buried in the article comments.

Cheers,

Dan

   Hi,
  
   We've got a client who uses Macs exclusively. Our fave dropdown menu
   of the moment, Son of Suckersfish, does not work in IE5 Mac.
  
   The client is also maintaining the site using Contribute, and our
   old-school brute force JavaScript dropdowns (CoolMenus) don't play
   nicely with Contribute.
  
   The original Suckerfish menus *do* work in IE5 Mac, but we need to
   have a solution where the top level stays highlighted while the
   submenus are being rolled over. We can do this with ugly old-school
   JavaScript mouseovers, but it's an ugly bloated solution and I'd
   really prefer something a bit cleaner.
  
   Anyone have any other ideas?

RE: [WSG] How to insert QuickTime on website and validate like XHTML?

A solution very good to avoid embed tag.

But to fulfill the norms of WAI accessibility I must have an alternative
auditory description, and when putting it like Techniques for Web Content
Accessibility Guidelines 1.0 they simultanealy leave the MOV and the WAV to
me. Some solution? One assumes that the WAV leaves if the MOV cannot be

Re: [WSG] Site Check - Firefox flicker problem

2004-06-28 Thread Peter Costello
Hi Avril,
The problem was due to having all my divs floated left in the one
containing div and relying on the containing div's width to make them
wrap, forcing them down into position.

Over the weekend, I split the content into two divs. Top and Bottom rows.
I believe that separating out the content so that the divs were no
longer dependant on each other fixed the problem.  This sort of makes
sense to me but I feel Ive expressed it poorly.

Cheers

[WSG] The Melbourne meeting tonight

2004-06-28 Thread David McDonald
A big thanks to everyone who turned up to the Melbourne WSG meeting
tonight.

We had 24 people turn up, which is a record for the Melbourne
meetings. Our diverse range of standards afficiondos included two
people who drove down from Ballarat (thanks guys - I really should
learn to remember everyone's names - you know who you are) and even a
member of WASP (thanks Steph).

Cameron Adams gave us a fascinating talk about his design process and
techniques, and gave us a sneak preview of the new The Man in Blue
site, which really pushes the boundaries of standards based XHTML/CSS
design. Great stuff Cam!

We met lots of talented, friendly, like minded people, ate, drank,
and talked about some of us getting up to Web Essentials in Sydney if
we can.

All in all, it was a good night and we look forward to doing it
again. There was some talk about making the event monthly rather than
two-monthly, so we will be in touch with the Melbourne members to
feel that out.

Thanks again to everyone who turned up.

What is this: span class=emphasise ? Use em and style using CSS

[WSG] CSS Block Element Probs...

Hey Everyone,

www.neester.com is what I am working on.
I just made a new stylesheet for the site.

I just need some help with the DIVs...
Its a big issue at the moment.

I have right floated Navigation...
the Content, is just a DIV which is by default a BLOCK element, and
therefore uses all teh size it has avalible.
Now... TEXT Wraps fine around the right nav...
But Borders and hr's etc... are a different story...

I cant seem to find a nice width to set the content div at...
Because it seems Mozilla has made the navigation panel a lot wider than
IE...
at the moment it wasnt an issue, until I wanted to have the panel
there...

I think I am rambling on now...
well...
ANY help is GREATLY appreciated!

[WSG] A question about names

I need some clarification if possible before I get too involved in re-building some 
forms.

As far as I know, the name attribute for creating anchor tags is being depricated. Is 
that the same for our forms?  If I am using an input or selector, should I only use an 
id attribute or should I continue using the name as well?

Thanks

[WSG] As Good As the Weakest Link

[WSG] Looking for help and critiques on a new site

2004-06-28 Thread Seona Bellamy
Hi guys,

I have a new site that I'm working on for a client and am doing my best to
make it as standards-driven as possible. So aside from having a look and
telling me how I've done so far, I'd also like some help in fixing a couple
of little glitches that are annoying the heck out of me.

The first issue is that in the plain HTML prototype that I created, the left
and centre columns sat up against the top of the window like they are
supposed to. I then added a bunch of Cold Fusion code to start making the
site dynamic as it needs to be, and now these two columns have bumped down a
fair amount. The funny thing it, it's not everything that has bumped down in
the left-hand column - the logo space at the top used to have a gap between
it and the next box in the column, and now it's as if this gap has simply
moved to the top (i.e., the logo has moved down, but the box below it
hasn't). Can anyone suggest why this is happening?

The second problem is with the last box in the left-hand column. I want to
give it rounded corners like the ones above it, but unlike the ones above it
which are of a fixed size, this last box will contain a variable amount of
text. So I tried using the Custom Corners II article on A List Apart, since
it deals with putting rounded corners on boxes that sit on gradient
backgrounds, but I can't seem to make it work without breaking the rest of
the design. Can someone suggest a way that it can be done? Or will I just
have to abandon that design idea?

The final problem is when I try and validate the page. Everything validates,
except the JavaScript for the menus. Now, this JavaScript is taken directly
from the Son of Suckerfish so I was surprised to find that it was coming
up with validation errors. Has anyone else had this problem? If so, did you
manage to fix it? Or is this just something that one can live with provided
that the rest of the page validates?


Anyway, the page can be seen at:
http://216.119.123.23
It's still very much under construction, so most of the links don't work
yet - just a warning. :)
The css is at:
http://216.119.123.23/_styles/sample.css
And for anyone who wants to compare it with the original prototype to figure
out a way around my first problem, this is available at:
http://homepages.ihug.com.au/~mikebell/swanstr2

So, help, advice and critiques are greatly welcomed.

Cheers,

Seona.

ul is actually more common, and usually the better, more logical, 
choice. Besides giving more hooks for CSS, it connects the links 
together semantically. As far as ol versus ul is concerned, the 
answer to that is a separate discussion which has nothing to do with 
links.

I believe its because, when you style it in CSS.
And make the LINKS, BLOCK ELEMENTS - without using ul's.
Without the stylesheet, the links will bunch up without any spaces or gaps.
So you use a ul and li's - just for the fact that it will be 
backwards compatable with browsers which dont support CSS, and also its 
just better formatted when you view your code... - thats my opinion...

Re: [WSG] 100% height columns - problems again

2004-06-28 Thread Isabel Santos
Quoting a recent post of mine on
http://www.webxpertz.net/forums/showthread.php?t=29509:

A 100% height table is 100% of the body. And the body is smaller then the
screen, so the table goes up to the bodys size.
Now, if you want a table to fill the whole screen, you must define 100%
height of the screen for all the containers. The container of the table is
the body, the container of the body is your html.

So if you declare on the head of the document:
style type=text/css
html,body { margin: 0; padding: 0; height: 100%; }
/style
you'll be able to center your design.

(You can add that right after your Mozilla only declarations in the contents
css)

You can get more info in: http://www.quirksmode.org/ on CSS under Tasks.

Hope it helps,

Isabel Santos

Re: [WSG] CSS Block Element Probs...

2004-06-28 Thread russ - maxdesign
Chris,

From a quick look, you seem have two problems - the box model issue and a
border issue:

1. IE misinterprets the box model so your navigation div appears thinner
in this browser compared to other browsers.
http://css.maxdesign.com.au/listamatic/about-boxmodel.htm

There are many ways to fix this as has been discussed on the list. One
method to fix this in IE6 is to remove the xml prolog (which is apparently
the incorrect term now) so that this browser operates in standards
compliance mode, and correctly renders the box model.

2. Borders and background colours will always flow under a floated item -
even if text does not.

While content will wrap around a floated element, border, background image
and background color will extend underneath.
http://css.maxdesign.com.au/floatutorial/introduction.htm

To solve this you could put a background colour on the navigation div or set
the content with a margin so that it does not flow under the nav at all.
Something like:

div#content

 Hey Everyone,
 
 www.neester.com http://www.neester.com  is what I am working on.
 I just made a new stylesheet for the site.
 
 I just need some help with the DIVs...
 Its a big issue at the moment.
 
 I have right floated Navigation...
 the Content, is just a DIV which is by default a BLOCK element, and therefore
 uses all teh size it has avalible.
 Now... TEXT Wraps fine around the right nav...
 But Borders and hr's etc... are a different story...
 
 I cant seem to find a nice width to set the content div at...
 Because it seems Mozilla has made the navigation panel a lot wider than IE...
 at the moment it wasnt an issue, until I wanted to have the panel there...
 
 I think I am rambling on now...
 well...
 ANY help is GREATLY appreciated!

  Chris,

From a quick look, you seem have two problems - the box model issue and a
border issue:

1. IE misinterprets the box model so your "navigation" div appears thinner
in this browser compared to other browsers.
http://css.maxdesign.com.au/listamatic/about-boxmodel.htm

There are many ways to fix this as has been discussed on the list. One
method to fix this in IE6 is to remove the xml prolog (which is apparently
the incorrect term now) so that this browser operates in standards
compliance mode, and correctly renders the box model.

2. Borders and background colours will always flow under a floated item -
even if text does not.
"
While content will wrap around a floated element, border, background image
and background color will extend underneath."
http://css.maxdesign.com.au/floatutorial/introduction.htm

To solve this you could put a background colour on the navigation div or set
the content with a margin so that it does not flow under the nav at all.
Something like:

div#content
{
padding: 10px;
margin-right: 160px; /*  new rule here */
}
