Re: [WSG] Flyout menu questions
Hello Ron, and to other list members, My second comment to the list so have somewhat limited knowledge of best practices. I will be brief. I understand this is a test site and not compete in all details. I am not certain, but suspect you will have just as much depth in most other department sections as you did in the Community Development section. if so, you have problems of usability and user interest in pursuing to the depths. 1. The site is designed from the standpoint of the departments of the city - not from the true customers viewpoint. Ask citizens what they want to know and the site navigation could then be broken into perhaps 7-8 main categories that could be done as global nav at the top. An example is the staff listings - these are at best a vanity section and of minimal value. Either eliminate or group all under a catch-all main section like you might on a business website. A city is a business. Similarly - the forms for filing apps, refunds, making payments - might benefit from a common point of entry - right at the top. Your global Nav link I Want To.. might be the route, but that title leaves me wondering a bit what it really means. 2. The best-practices gurus say no more than three pages of depth - you're at five on the left side menus. That is too deep. I know it is possible to use the depth menu like this to jump to detailed sections easily, but I had serious problems with that menu nest in Safari, IE5.5, and NN7 on a Mac. I kept falling off the menu and having to start over. Nearly 75% of the time in trying to get to level 5 was a failure. The flyout menu failed totally in IE 5.5 on the Mac. It worked ok in Safari and NN7. 3. The one-size-fits-all website seldom does. I would advise you and your client to go for several websites - inter-linked of course, but distinctly different. Why? There is too much subdividing of data for the present portal site. You either have to back up and break it up into different sites - or break the data into different customer-oriented bits/sections. The separate library site is an example. 4. The global nav at top is a problem. In Safari and NN on a Mac the drop down for I want to.. appeared about 3-4 pixels down into the pale green section AND I could not reach them with the mouse before they disappeared. In IE5.5 on Mac the same menu appeared at the top of the white center section and was also impossible to reach with the mouse before it disappeared Will inline: SigThkLong200.jpg William H.

There is an extraordinarily large amount of information on the current site, and a large number of departments that need to be represented in the navigation. I've used the Son Of Suckerfish code to build out a flyout menu system. Works great, looks nice. However, some of the menus get as many as five layers deep. I'm concerned about usability (by regular and impaired users), especially on small screen real estate. My biggest problem with it is the depth of the submenus, how easy it is to slip off a menu 3 layers deep and lose your place and the fact that the menus don't remain visible for a few seconds after mousing off them. I'm looking for a review of the navigation along with opinions and suggestions, within the following constraints: 1. This site is templated via a single master template in DW. I would prefer NOT to have to use more than the one template for the site, as it will exponentially increase my workload with each additional section/template. 2. I've looked at the vertically expanding/collapsing menu systems, and have pretty much ruled them out for use on my site for a variety of reasons. Ideas, criticisms, suggestions and opinions welcomed. http://www.aurora-il.org/testsite/index.htm Only the first 3 menu items in the vertical nav have been flushed out.

[WSG] Firefox 1.0
Hi all, Well it's finally here. Firefox 1.0. Yeah, you probably already know, but for those that don't... With an amazing history (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mozilla_Firefox) of development, this little-browser-that-could has finally reached a milestone to be proud of. If you're as much of a Firefox buff as I am, maybe you might want to let some of your IE using visitors and friends know of this lightweight (4.7mb!), safer, feature packed alternative. I'll stop there before I sound too evangelical. Go here and grab it from the official website at http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/, though http://fileforum.betanews.com/detail/1032985422/1 and http://www.download.com/Mozilla-Firefox/3000-2356_4-10335582.html?tag=lst-2- 4 might have it in your hands a little quicker. Download.com has registered nearly a million downloads! Holy Toledo! There are also a couple of Torrents running too: Windows version: http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/1.0/win32/en-US/Fire fox%20Setup%201.0.exe.torrent Linux version: http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/1.0/linux-i686/en-US /firefox-1.0.tar.gz.torrent If you're a web developer, you can't miss out on installing extensions like the Web developer extension - a plethora of tools, too many to list! Colorzilla - a colour picker and zoom tool, DOM inspector and more. JavaScript debugger - Venkman JavaScript debugger in an extension. IE View - View the current page in IE, for those stubborn sites built old OLD school, or for testing your latest creation. FirefoxView - just like the previous extension, just in reverse! Html Validator - works in the view source window, great when you're offline or at a client site with just a browser and insert text editor of your choice! Go and check them out at https://update.mozilla.org/extensions/?application=firefox, though the Firefox extension site may be a little busy for a while. One other thing I have noticed is that the native stylesheet switcher in Firefox has not made a comeback - however there is an extension out there called Style Sheet Chooser that has brought it back from the forgotten. Ok, that's all from me on the Firefox front. Hope it helps. Brendan.

Re: [WSG] Site Check please
About to Launch this site, but before it goes could you please take a look and tell me what you think. http://www.matamanoa.com/new/ Hi The box for the flash is a little too wide in firefox - I say box, becasue I leave my browsers as shipped and so don't have flash installed in firefox because so many of the clients i deal with don't install or download anything I did go look in IE 6 (win xp) since I have flash there :) and though I'm not a fan of flash, it's a nice presentation. I would sugest adding in a language attribute to your html tag, and since it's xhtml 1 trans., how about html xmlns=http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml; xml:lang=en It views nicely when you resize the window, and the text except for the menu (well and the tiels since you're using images) resized fine in FireFox, but for some reason, wouldn't resize at all for me in IE and I didn't take the time to find out why. I didn't see a link to a site map any where, and that's always the first thing I look for. Your reservations form doesn't use any accessibility features like fieldsets, legends or labels, and I feel all forms should use these. It also relies on a table which makes accessibility even harder. You could do this all in css with the proper accessibility and it would look good and act well - but then, not every developer uses these, so it's just how I feel about it. Very cool locations map - easy to read - iwell except if you're color blind, then the green crossing the red is very hard to diferentiate, it might be a good idea to make one of the lines dotted. I know that's picky. FOr my eyes I really liked it! I also liked the hide and show the meal and other rates under cusine. Over all , a nice site -- Susan R.

[WSG] Persistent page indicator (page id) when you have two lists of navigation
Hi
I am trying to set up a page indicator in the sidebar navigation of this
template using descendant selectors to indicate the current page but it
doesn't seem to work if I use the following syntax.
I have given each page a body id and each list item in DIV sidebar an id as
well but it breaks when I use the following: I will be creating different
templates for the two areas Staff and Students so am not concerned about
that list.
body#studenthome li#studenthome a, body#studentsaccess li#access a{
border-right: 12px solid #000;
{
Work in progress here:
http://learnline.cdu.edu.au/wip/ll/students/students.html
Another question - I would prefer to put the banner graphic into the DIV as
a background but I need to hot link it to the CDU home page. Is there any
way of doing this in CSS?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Re: [WSG] Persistent page indicator (page id) when you have two lists of navigation
The id is a unique identifier. You cannot have more than one elements
with the same id on a page. So in your example, you have got two
different elements with the id=studenthome. Instead, you should use
class=studenthome.
See if that helps.

Without even looking at your page, I can tell you that you have two
elements here - body and li - both with the same ID. An ID needs to be
unique on a page, or it *will* break something. Change one of the IDs
to something else and things should improve.

[WSG] Current Page Link in own Class
Hi all :o)
Just thought I'd add this. Don't know if anyone's using something like this
but...
Here's how to add a class to your navigation to make the current page stand
out a bit more without putting it in the HTML.
This also assigns the class to any sublevel nav items in nested ULs.
Handy for those who dread going through every page and manually cutting and
pasting the class name onto the right menu item.
Variables:
MyMainNavigation is the ID of the top level ul in your nav list
currentNav is the name of the class in your stylesheet
// Assign Class Name to Current Page in Side Nav
// This goes in your external JS file
function getCurrentPageLink() {
navElements=document.getElementsByTagName(ul);
for( var i = 0; i navElements.length; i++ )
if (navElements(i).className == 'MyMainNavigation') {
navAnchors=navElements(i).getElementsByTagName(a);
for( var i = 0; i navAnchors.length; i++ )
if (navAnchors(i).href == document.location.href) {
navAnchors(i).className = 'currentNav';
}
}
}
}
}
window.onload = getCurrentPageLink;
Hope this helps :o)
Richard

Re: [WSG] Current Page Link in own Class
Richard
That rocks.
I just implemented it and it does exactly what I was doing with
convulted CSS that had to be udated each time a new link was added to
my nav.
Thanks so much for sharing.
