Re: [WSG] Affiliate link code validation errors
Sorry, forgot to mention that with the change from the alone to using the amp; did allow validation under XHTML 1.1. AND, the link did go to the shopping cart page at Opera web site. Now to that question - will the Opera server correctly record the transaction for affiliate credit? Or does the change cause errors.

RE: [WSG] Display Differences
Georg, Thank you very much for the time you spent to look at this for me. I really don't want to use the quick fix - so I will try again to do the one image. I did that before, and it was giving me problems. The skip nav is not needed - I just grabbed a HTML template from a previous client I did, and have yet to take that out. Thanks for the reminder. I really want THAT font (displayed to ALL) that is used for the headers and the nav and that is why they are images, but I know for accessibility I really need to bite it and use text nav and H1's for headers.. I will have the list check again once I make the top a full image again.

[WSG] CSS/Markup Nightmare
Hi all, Im currently having a CSS/markup nightmare Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. The aim is to make my page like the mockup I have http://www.e-oddie.com/e-oddie2/skins/Summer/Mockup.jpg. However, Im having a nightmare making the boxes (something I thought would be a simple process). I have a sample page at http://www.e-oddie.com/e-oddie2/default.aspx. And the CSS file at http://www.e-oddie.com/e-oddie2/skins/Summer.css. Things Id like to sort out are: The CSS isnt any where near working (obviously) The markup Ive used seems like an overkill so Id like to simplify it Thinks to note are: The markup has to be generic enough that I can create different boxes just by changing the CSS (there are 3 sections with 3 different colour schemes to identify them) Id like to aim for at least 4.01 strict or hopefully XHTML/1.1 compliance (preferred) In advance, thanks for any help!

[WSG] NEED HELP PLEASE !
I understand that the list is dedicated to CSS but as Standard Group I presume someone can answer my DOM question. I search evrywhere on the web, I read books, I make many test using the w3c specification and the fireFox information but It seems that it is impossible to be done. As I know that people on this list are usually very uptodate with standard and w3c specification maybe someone has the answer I am trying to create an Event to add it to a html tag. I thought that the answer was createEvent(MouseEvents) but it was not the case. createEvent doesn't work the same way as a createElement. It simulate an event but don't write the event. What I am looking for is a function wich has the ability to write the event as such: el=CreateEvent (mousedown) el.eventFunction=abc(z,y,x) HTMLelement(mydiv).append(el) and the result must be as such div id=mydiv onmousedown=abc(x,y,z) /div addEventListener doesn't help me because we can not add the function (this) and if we made a save of the complete page we see that the event was not written. In the case of createElement the object would have been written in the page. The other problem with addEventListener, it executes once we call it. I know that for the Java DOM there is object.setEvent(onclick, abc(this) ) would someone have an Idea Thanks in advance happy hollidays Berry ** 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] Float problem in IE6
Hey everyone, Im getting a float problem in IE6 that I dont understand. The URL is http://www.e-oddie.com/e-oddie2/. For an idea of how it should display (the problem is pretty obvious) take a look in Firefox. I havent tested it in any other browsers (dont have them installed) so any help in that department would be greatly appreciated. Any design tips would be greatly appreciated while were at it too (trying to finalise design today). Thanks in advance! Tatham
Re: [WSG] NEED HELP PLEASE !
Thank you for the info but I have already try this and it doesn't work as I expected. This kind of script is not able to add the script to HTML tag. If you read the script you will see that it doesn't attribute a function to the click. What I am looking for is something which is able to write the script physically on the page. In such way when you save the page you can find the information you have created. What I am looking for it is a kind of setAttribute because all the code which refer to UIEvent, dispatchEvent, initEvent, initMouseEvent... manage the behavior of the event virtually and the creatEvent doesn't write the event it is more like a punctual event. I hope I succeeded to make myself understand. The script of your page is not a IE script is a standard script expect for the declaration of the variable. Berry You needed to search further: (searched Google with createEvent javascript) http://www.itworld.com/nl/javascript/05072002/ But you may find it will only work with IE.

The URL is http://www.e-oddie.com/e-oddie2/.
The problem is known as margin-doubling in IE/win.
display: inline will fix that in your case.
On top of that you have also made it a bit tight in there, so IE/win
will drop the main column on narrow window.
A small negative back-margin on the float will help.
For an idea of how it should display (the problem is pretty obvious)
take a look in Firefox.
This should make it hold in IE/win, until the window gets really narrow.
Put it at the bottom of your stylesheet.
@media all {
* html div.blockRight {display: inline; margin-left: -3%;}
}
