[WSG] XHTML Strict and scrollable page content
I need to scroll a php/mysql generated list of text with url's within a page whilst using up-down arrows rather then a scrollbar. It needs however to be XHTML Strict valid and that is where my problem starts... A non-Strict example of how it exactly has to look and work: http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex11/scrollc2.htm Does anyone know of if this is possible at all using Strict and how it can be done? *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ***

J-Query will enable you to build one yourself or, if you use Dreamweaver and have a budget, I know this will work: http://www.projectseven.com/products/tools/vscroller/testing/strict/ ...and it has more features for accessibility and usability then are possible with many of the libraries. -- Al Sparber - PVII http://www.projectseven.com Fully Automated Menu Systems | Galleries | Widgets *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ***
[WSG] Firefox and IE font sizes
At http://www.choroideremia.org/new/crf_header.php I have three buttons. The first is Decrease font size the second is ?Default font size. And the third is Increase font size:. Firefox 3.0.1 shows them in 15 point Arial font which I would say is good to default to. However, IE7 will show the in 21 point Arial. I would say IE7's font choice is to large. How do I get Fire fox and IE to both display 15 point Arial?

Hi
I looked at your CSS and can't see any point font sizes, only %age sizes
(which is ok in itself) - so can't really relate what you mention above to
what I'm seeing. Remember pts are for print stylesheets.
There are also some problems with your page - whitespace above the doctype
will cause IE to barf out into quirks mode. The medium and large switcheroo
things don't seem to be linked properly. When I hit the links in FF3.01 the
font size doesn't change.
I can give you some advice on stylesheet switching though.. instead of
refreshing the whole page with unnecessary server load and adding in a
stylesheet based on a url, try switch the id of the body tag. This assumes you
know how to and can apply an event listener to an element using a JS library
of some description.
[pseudocode]
//html
span id=font_largeincrease/span
//js
foo.attachEventListener(
foo.get('font_large'),//element
'click',//event
function() {
//get the 'body' element somehow
body.setAttribute('id', 'large');
//store change in a cookie so it can propagate across pages
}
//css
body {
font-size : 100%;
/* other generic styles */
}
body#large {
font-size : 120%;
}
body#small {
font-size : 80%;
}
[/pseudocode]
You could also implement and increase,decrease handler and apply body font-
size in increment/decrements

[WSG] Design of forms on web vs paper
I've been involved in a few debates about this question lately and would like to write an article summarising the different positions. It would be great if you could spend a few minutes emailing me or posting your personal position on the following query: As a matter of best practice, should forms on the web be designed to look like their paper equivalents? Why/why not? I recognise that this is a fairly open question but there are lots of different ways that one could come at this issue and I'm keen to hear about them all! Will send around a link to the article when done, for future reference.
