Re: [WSG] RE: Image replacement techniques for linked elements
H all i do is place a set of [span] tag's around the text and make the [a] tag a block element and give it the background image... Much like i've done on http://phunky.co.uk/2005/ in the menu...

[WSG] Doctype Javascript and accessibility
Dear All,
Does anyone know if a simple doctype _javascript_ is accessible
to text readers?
The _javascript_ would be similar to the following:
!-- Begin
document.write('a href=""
To Newslinks Archives HomePage/a . ');
document.write('a href="" Back
to Campus NewsLink Homepage/a . ');
document.write('a href=""
Home/a');
document.write('p Wheelock College, 200 The Riverway,
Boston, MA 02215-4176, ph.
617-879-2000/p');
document.write('p copy; 2003, Wheelock College /p');
// End --
I would link it to the webpage like the following:
script language=_javascript_ src="">
/script
Thanks,
Nancy
Re: [WSG] Doctype Javascript and accessibility
Well, first of all...what do you mean by doctype javascript? Secondly, what happens when javascript is not available/enabled? Does it provide the page provide the same links even when the javascript is not executed? If not, no, it's not accessible. Unless I'm misunderstanding your intention, what you're trying to do should be done via server-side includes, not javascript... Patrick H.

First of all: what do you mean by doctype javascript? Second: what do you mean by text reader? A text-mode UA (à la lynx)? Screen reader software? In the first case (text-mode UA), it depends on the UA, however, IIRC lynx does not support javascript. Keep in mind that search engines too may not support javascript. That makes javascript-dependent navigation one of the worst ideas ever IMHO. In the second case it depends on the UA the screen reader is reading from. I can imagine MSIE to execute the code on page load thus enabling a screen reader to read the contents. However, I could be wrong on this one... The javascript would be similar to the following: snip document.write(); snip script tag Out of curiosity: why would you want content to be accessible depending on whether or not the user has javascript activated? The way you're writing those links to the page is causing me never to see it at all... . And if I want to contact you, i need to find my good old phone guide... . (heck, where's that one?)

[WSG] PHP GET session ID's prevent validation?
Hi all, I've come across something of a problem on a website which uses Sessions (and PHP). The server it is hosted on is setup to allow session ID's to be sent as GET variables (i.e. part of the URL string), if the user *apparently* doesn't have cookies enabled. Now, for whatever reason, the server is deciding that MANY users don't have cookies enabled, even when they do, and is therefore pushing them to the GET method, as opposed to setting a cookie and leaving it alone! This isn't a problem relevant to this list (I have other concerns, regarding security, etc. but that is best discussed elsewhere), however it does do some bad things to links on the page! The website is http://www.platform7.info/, and it (before moving servers) validated without any problems. What's happening is that PHP is appending platform7=SESSION ID GOES HERE to all links on the webpage, when in GET session (e.g. not cookies) mode. You'll note that should be amp; in order to validate... Has anyone else had this happen to them before? Any suggestions are welcome.

Hey Joshua,
try this
ini_set('arg_separator.input','amp;');

Re: [WSG] PHP GET session ID's prevent validation?
If you have access to php.ini, make sure you change arg_separator.input
and arg_separator.output to
arg_separator.input = 'amp;'
arg_separator.output = 'amp;'
You may be able to do this in an .htaccess file
php_value arg_separator.input 'amp;'
php_value arg_separator.output 'amp;'
As a last resort, you may be able to override it at the beginning of all
your scripts in PHP itself
ini_set('arg_separator.input','amp;');
ini_set('arg_separator.output','amp;');
