Re: [WSG] IE 7 body length problem

2007-05-09 Thread Jixor - Stephen I
I have been using the background on html for some time on various sites 
because of this problem. I don't know if standards allows it but it 
works in all browsers.

Hi ,

I found my IE7 will show the bug on its first load, but any refresh 
afterwards will load with the body/colour covering the entire window. 
(covering the window with another window will also remove the 
whitespace.)


A quick check with the IE7 developer toolbar shows the body 
stretching only as far as the content.


If would suggest setting a background colour for the html.

btw the toolbar declares body hasLayout = -1

 Hi Christian,
 I don't see this behavior in ie7 WinXP Pro
 But I think you should be able to fix what you describe by giving 
layout to

 some element in there.
 Did you try: body {zoom:1}

Couldn't see this issue on my IE7 too (are you using a beta?). Thierry
is right, the element needs to be given layout.

I guess it probably depends if it has unencrypted text in it... 


some pdf's might only contain images or other stuff...

Hi,

A couple of links that maybe useful:

Another option maybe to convert the PDF content to HTML:

Re: [WSG] IE 7 body length problem

2007-05-09 Thread Christian Montoya

Thanks for the help everyone.

I tried adding the background to HTML but that did not fix the problem.

What did work was that I added:

html, body { height:100%; }

to the stylesheet.

The whole thing is a bit weird though since I have never seen this
happen on another site, but it definitely seems like a hasLayout
issue. I think I removed hasLayout on the body by applying 0 padding
and margin and that's why I had to set the height to 100% to get it
back.

[WSG] Carousel effect

2007-05-09 Thread Helen Rysavy
Hi

I was wondering if anyone could point me to the JavaScript that achieves
the carousel effect as seen on download.com http://www.download.com/
home page.

I have looked at the source but with my limited knowledge of JS I
haven't been able to work it out.

Any help is appreciated.  It seems like a neat effect.

Thanks
Helen

RE: [WSG] wa state guidlines question

2007-05-09 Thread Steve Green
That document makes it sound so easy but there's s much it doesn't
mention. We do heaps of accessible PDFs and have the scars to prove it. The
manuals are incomplete, inaccurate and Acrobat Pro is very broken. Version 8
is so bad we uninstalled it and went back to version 7 because at least we
know how to work around most of the bugs.

My advice is don't even think about trying unless there's no alternative, in
which case you should seriously consider getting a new job or delegate it to
someone who won't be missed when they become a total basket case.

As for automated PDF tagging solutions, nothing we have seen is even
remotely competent, and nor are any of the PDF to HTML converters we've
seen.

It is possible for PDFs to be highly accessible to screen readers without
being tagged at all, but that very much depends on the size, content and the
way in which they were authored.

I don't consider Word documents to be an accessible alternative either. It's
got to be text or HTML, or RTF at a pinch.

Steve
