RE: [WSG] jump menu method

2005-11-21 Thread kvnmcwebn


Just a thought, but if all the links are counties within a greater whole,
why not use a happy map image map interface? Thats a-okay standards-wise,
and degrades nicely into a list of links, and looks cute for visitors.

Joe there is a mapping system done w/ flash, i have to tie
that in as well.
You can see it on the current site at

Re: [WSG] $100 laptop WAS: why liquid layout is important.

2005-11-21 Thread James Ellis
Hi

Yes, funnily enough I was reading about Edubuntu Linux
(http://edubuntu.org/) today - a version of Ubuntu (http://ubuntu.org)
specially targeted at school age kids.The ideas raised in this thread
seem to mesh well with what's described at the above links.

It's a small step from providing hardware to providing a freely available OS to go with it...

Feel free to email me off list about this stuff.

Cheers

build stand alone Web pages, which were then saved to their floppy.At semi-regular gatherings, the contents of the floppys could beuploaded to a Web server.The contents of the server were then burntto a new version of the CD, which each person took away with them.
This allowed people in remote aboriginal communities (for example) tobuild Web sites, even though they had little or no access to theregular Web.People can do a great deal with very little access.

[WSG] shrink-to-fit width in Opera

2005-11-21 Thread Andy Budd
One of my annoyances with Opera is that it calculates the shrink-to- 
fit width of absolutely positioned elements to be the minimum width,  
basically adding a break after each word. I wanted to write about how  
annoying this was, but thought I'd better check the specs first, just  
in case it was actually right.


http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/visudet.html#the-width-property

However I'm having trouble understanding the spec (no surprise there)

Here is the pertinent extract.

Calculation of the shrink-to-fit width is similar to calculating the  
width of a table cell using the automatic table layout algorithm.  
Roughly: calculate the preferred width by formatting the content  
without breaking lines other than where explicit line breaks occur,  
and also calculate the preferred minimum width, e.g., by trying all  
possible line breaks. CSS 2.1 does not define the exact algorithm.  
Thirdly, calculate the available width: this is found by solving for  
'width' after setting 'left' (in case 1) or 'right' (in case 3) to 0.


1. 'left' and 'width' are 'auto' and 'right' is not 'auto', then the  
width is shrink-to-fit. Then solve for 'left'
3. 'width' and 'right' are 'auto' and 'left' is not 'auto', then the  
width is shrink-to-fit . Then solve for 'right'


Then the shrink-to-fit width is: min(max(preferred minimum width,  
available width), preferred width).


Thoughts?

Yours

[WSG] Fwd: [LINK] One Laptop per Child

2005-11-21 Thread Jonathan O'Donnell
I thought that WSG'ers might be interested in this view of the One 
Laptop per Child project.  Liddy Nevile was at the launch last week, 
and will be working on a project in Bangledesh next year, I think.


Begin forwarded message:


From: Liddy Nevile
Date: 21 November 2005 10:56:13 PM
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Cc: Subject: Re: [LINK] One Laptop per Child

One important way of thinking about the 'green machine' is as a book. 
They will be able to provide kids with lots of stuff to read and it is 
expected that in some cases that will be all they will need to do to 
be very useful in places where textbooks are not available.


It might also please some Linkers to know that by avoiding greedy 
operating systems,  the number of winds per hour is being reduced. 
There is also a new approach to screens. I think that a lot of people 
will benefit from just these two developments.


I personally look forward to children, in Australia and elsewhere, 
getting computers that are not business machines but rather designed 
for kids ... and adults can explore the kind of software likely to be 
available by trying Squeak (http://www.squeak.org/), a modern 
'SmallTalk' language developed by Alan Kay and his colleagues and  and 
Scratch (http://web.media.mit.edu/~mres/papers/scratch-proposal.pdf), 
a new language being developed by Mitchel Resnick and his colleagues 
building on Squeak.

http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/visudet.html#the-width-property



First, which version of Opera are you testing ?
Second, what kind of content goes into that absolute positioned element 
?


If I put an element with just some static text in, Opera 7.5 - 9 prev 
display the same as Firefox (1.6a1 nightly), Camino (1.0b), iCab, 
Safari 1.2+.
However, add a floated block in there, and then Opera is a bit more 
aggressive.[1]
Put multiple floated blocks in the AP element, and Opera 7 behaves 
differently from others. That was  a know bug in that version (not 
limited to AP elements, btw).


The spec doesn't specify exactly what should happen;  here is the key:
quote CSS 2.1 does not define the exact algorithm/quote

What exactly is a line break ? Does the end of a *floated* span 
constitute a line break in this context ?


And if you start to play with more complex constructions, the 
differences between all (decent) browser increase, see [2] as one 
example.

I'm sure everyone who saw Doug Bowmans presentation at WE05 'Zooming out

It would be great if we (WSG listers) could come together to work on a

Re: [WSG] WordPress CSS - Content and Sidebar Squished In IE

2005-11-21 Thread Thierry Koblentz
 I am very new to CSS (I put the N in Newbie!), and I had followed a book
 on creating my first WordPress theme by editing the default theme. It
 looks really nice in Firefox, but the content and sidebar are squished
 together in IE (more than likely due to me being silly and going off on
 my own with the CSS). I know I've missed something in the CSS but I just
 cannot figure out what it is. Could someone please point me in the right
 direction so that the content and sidebar area's look the same in IE
 like they do in Firefox? There's a lot of mistakes in my CSS, but I
 figure I would tackle one thing at a time until I can get it the way I
 want it.

I believe it is because IE is doubling your margin. Add display:inline to
#content and #sidebar.

Well, shucks, guys.

Like I said, I didn't write it. I've just checked with a colleague, and 
as far as we can recall (this was months ago) it was our idea and a 
subcontractor did it for us. So whilst anyone is welcome to take the 
idea, I can't speak for the exact code


On the other hand, it is remarkably simple to implement, so I can't 
imagine that you'd have too much difficulty working up something similar


Out of interest, surely there are other folks out there doing this kind 
of thing? Perhaps someone else has a script they actually own the 
copyright to that they are willing to share?

Incidentally, the html doesn't validate, partly because you have 
no alt attributes on a number of images.  If they don't need alt 
text (i.e. they are just for visual effect), consider putting 
them in the css as background images.

 G'day
 
  PS. I got the transparency working after I gave the 
 container a size.
   
  Still haven't figured out the 1pixel space.
 
 Change the image alignment from top to bottom
 
 img {
vertical-align: bottom;
border: 0;
 }

Re: [WSG] jump menu method

2005-11-21 Thread Dejan Kozina
No, you're right and it seems that I'm much dumber than that. The form 
uses POST indeed, but I managed to hide some link in a div with display: 
none to help the bots around my Java-only navigation (yes, it was that 
long ago; probably the very first CSS I wrote!)and, of course, one of 
those pointed straight to the receiving script...

GET.
