OK thanks.
I assumed it was a no no as it does not make sense but I have learnt
that making sense is not always a W3C thing :)

In the templates that I recieved, the code looked like:

div
jhd jhd hwd wqdkh br /br /
pkhdj jwhd jhwqdj hwd/p
/div

This actually does not view the same in every browser. In FF it showed
up as a seperate paragraph but in IE it did not, it just broke the
paragraph to the next line.

It appears that it is a no-no, or at least will become so.
Does that mean you should go back and redo all your sites?  Nope. 
AFAIK, every browser will handle this just fine, at least for the

The only alternative to cookies is to force the user to authenticate

Hi Jason, in Firefox, there is a one pixel gap between the tab and  
the color bar. I only took a look from Mac, but pretty sure the same  
thing is showing in PC too as I had encountered the very same problem  
with a site that also have color coded tabs. The color bar is quite  
thick therefor you can use line-height or padding bottom to  
compensate easily.


The collections page loads a bit slow for me though - I am on cable  
broadband. I was once quite fancy with this lightbox gallery, but  
very soon I got so sick of it I can't even bear to look at it :)  
Think it goes better with blog.

I'm assuming you're talking about immediate page content, as opposed to
allowing visitors to log in?

I can't think of any reliable way of doing this without cookies, and even
that's not fail-safe since some people have their system set to not accept
cookies or to delete them immediately on browser close.

You'll need cookies.

(well you could sort of determine new vistors by IP address but only in 
a way that wouldn't be as reliable -- there are many cases of NAT users 
sharing a single IP, or with AOL users having their IP change while 
browsing and you couldn't detect this).

Re: [WSG] Site test Google analytics

2007-07-26 Thread James Ellis
HI Jason

You can stick it in the head of the document although that will load it
prior to the rest of the document being loaded which may cause the page to
display a bit later than usual. The way around that issue is to use an event
listener on load, it could even be delayed by a few seconds using a
settimeout but not too much that the visitor will leave before it fires.

Ggl only suggest sticking it at the end of the body to avoid interference
with page load issues, it's sort of a poor mans load handler.

I'm pretty sure having script in the head is ok for all html and xhtml
doctypes (strict transitional etc) so you can have your standards cake and
eat it too.

Cheers
James

ahhah,  okay, glad you worked it out.

btw, I noticed that you are using blockquote the way older versions of 
DW suggested, as an indent.  That is not really the proper use of that 
tag.  It would really be better to use css to shift some other 
block-level element that wraps your text.


A couple of links on this subject:

It appears you are working on this page, as it seems to be changing as

 Hello Olajide,

Actually yuors is a pretty simple fix.

Lose the blockquotes and p tags and include your text and graphix
inside your div with your thumbnail. Create a class called

 .leftimg {

float:left;

}  In your style and then call it from yourimage tag class=leftimg

A working example can be seen at http://1fite.com/17.html

I had a similar problem and solved it.

I just checked your page again and it looks just right - unless I am not 
 understanding what you are after.  Now both the blockquote and the 
footer are below each set of thumbs.  Is that not what you were looking

One good tip: when you ask for help, you should tell people what the
problem is, not what it isn't ;-)

We're not psychic, and just saying broken in IE7 tells us precisely
nothing about the nature of the problems you are encountering.

 I went through and put p around them BUT is it valid??? Or is it a

Why not to check it? From HTML 4.01 Strict DTD:

Ok, now let's look up what is %flow:

Just to make sure - %special:

You'll need cookies.

(well you could sort of determine new vistors by IP address but only in
a way that wouldn't be as reliable -- there are many cases of NAT users
sharing a single IP, or with AOL users having their IP change while
browsing and you couldn't detect this).

RE: [WSG] HELP with CSS

2007-07-26 Thread WebMaster
Hello Olajide,

Actually yuors is a pretty simple fix.

Lose the blockquotes and p tags and include your text and graphix inside
your div with your thumbnail. Create a class called

 .leftimg {

float:left;

}  In your style and then call it from yourimage tag class=leftimg

A working example can be seen at http://1fite.com/17.html

I had a similar problem and solved it.

Good luck,

Troy

Re: [WSG] Target 1st item in list

2007-07-26 Thread E Michael Brandt
Given the poor current browser css support for this, perhaps the best 
thing would be to write a small bit of DOM script that would add a class 
to that first li for you, on the fly, on page load. It would go 
something like this:


function styleFirstLI(){ // by divaHTML.com
var d=document;
if (!d.getElementsByTagName()) return;
var zULs=d.getElementsByTagName('ul');
for (var i=0, len=zULs.length;ilen;i++){
var li=zULs[i].firstChild;
li.className='firstLI';
}
}

Watch for my typos.

Add a class 'firstLI' to your stylesheet.

Then call styleFirstLI() on page load, and of course after the uls have 
been generated by your other scripts.


Hope that helps.

liItem 1/li

liItem 2/li

RE: [WSG] an inline element (inside a block element) sibling ofanother block element

div class=nav_sub_left
a href=../news.htmlNews  lt;/a
pTestimonials lt;/p
pa href=links.htmlPartner Links lt;/a/p

Are you all saying it's not good that the first line in the div tag doesn't

Time how long it takes to receive a large file (eg more than a few 
hundred k) with Javascript. If it is very low surely that indicates a 
very fast connection or a cache hit. I wouldn't stake my life on it but 
it might provide some indication (and annoy any users with slower

Re: [WSG] an inline element (inside a block element) sibling ofanother block element

Interesting.  Yes i guess an a tag does not cut the mustard, as it is 
not a block level element.  Good observation.  But nonetheless, the w3c 
html validator says it is valid XHTML 1.0 Strict. So not currently a 
problem, so it would appear.

It appears that it is a no-no, or at least will become so.
Does that mean you should go back and redo all your sites?  Nope. 
AFAIK, every browser will handle this just fine, at least for the

[WSG] Target 1st item in list

2007-07-26 Thread Nick Roper
I need to target the 1st item in a list. However, to make things 
complicated I can't assign a class or id to it. This is because of the 
way that the code is generated.


So, given the following example code:

h3 class=someClassHeading Text/h3
ul class=someOtherClass 
liItem 1/li
liItem 2/li
liItem 3/li
liItem 4/li
/ul

Is there a way that I can target the li for Item 1 without it having a 
specific id or class assigned to it?


Thanks in anticipation.

Re: [WSG] Site test Google analytics

My question is this: If I insert the script anywhere but the head, 
does this break any rules or standards? Shouldn't all scripts be 
located in the head ONLY? Perhaps I am way off on this.


HTML 4.01 states,

The SCRIPT element places a script within a document. This element may 
appear any number of times in the HEAD or BODY of an HTML document.


So it doesn't make any difference, and as Google Analytics doesn't do 
document.write() or anything like that then you can just ignore Google's 
advice.


(for those with server-side languages I suggest seeing whether Google 
Analytics is slow because you can download it and cache it yourself. I 
found that it added 3 seconds to my page load times so I ended up 
writing a temporary file and refresh it when that file's modified time 
was too old. See http://urltea.com/12nb  )

Re: [WSG] an inline element (inside a block element) sibling ofanother block element

2007-07-26 Thread Ryan Lin
Best way is , put your link within headers, h2 and if you want to get 
rid of margin in that, do it through CSS.
Even if you want to put in the paragraph tag, you can put a custom 
attribute - p class=sectionheadera href=../news.htmlNews lt;/a/p


It's more semantic.

Are you all saying it's not good that the first line in the div tag doesn't
have paragraph tags around it?  What if the extra space a paragraph tag
would give is not wanted?  Maybe I didn't study this thread well enough.

I am going to disagree with my own last statement - it may be valid in 
the sense that it passes Validation testing online, but surely it is not 
semantically reasonable to have bare text.  I am less sure myself about 
the semantics of bare a tags, but for the sake of symmetry..

 Interesting.  Yes i guess an a tag does not cut the mustard, as it is
 not a block level element.  Good observation.  But nonetheless, the w3c
 html validator says it is valid XHTML 1.0 Strict. So not currently a
 problem, so it would appear.

RES: RES: [WSG] Serving Different Content to Returning Visitors

2007-07-26 Thread SosCpdGMail


Your post really help to fix the problem. I'm very glad. In a very
hard way, applets can do the job. If you need a how-to, I can loose some
time in. Just ask. Any way, a better choice is already provided with use of
the history contents. A tip for you: Dream. Code. Be more intuitive.

And you'll look for cached content how?

RE: [WSG] an inline element (inside a block element) sibling ofanother block element

2007-07-26 Thread Jermayn Parker
I am not an expert but from what I understand text, links etc need to be
held in block elements ie: p etc for it to semanticly correct.
Guessing this is were POSH comes into play.
