[WSG] Streamline a video question

2008-12-02 Thread Brett Patterson
I am trying to put a video on the Web, but I cannot get it to play
automatically. I want to have them stream so that they will play immediately
instead of lagging a minute or so when clicked on. Is there a
standard/recommended way to do this? Links for reading about it would be
greatly appreciated.

It is. At least as far as I knew it to be. This is why I said to use the
span tag.

RE: [WSG] Streamline a video question

2008-12-02 Thread Foskett, Mike
Hi Brett,

 

It's inadvisable to auto-play video content, but a lot depends on the
actual content.

 

Getting video to autostart depends on the deployment method chosen.

Personally I highly recommend  the JW FLV media player for online
delivery: http://www.jeroenwijering.com/?item=JW_FLV_Media_Player

 

For the more advanced here's an alternative implementation method:

standards compliance should not be confused with WCAG conformance.

HTML is a standard WCAG is a guidance that people use as if it were a  
standard, which could easily be a standard but is effectively not  
one. However, complying with WCAG confers added benefits which  
standards compliance creators strive for.

[WSG] Full Width Striped Background with Centered Content

2008-12-02 Thread Chris Cressman
I'm looking for a CSS solution if anyone has time to take a look.

I've centered two content divs within two wrapper divs stacked on top
of each other. The wrappers each have a unique background color that
stretches across the whole page. The content divs are fixed at 800px
and centered on the page using auto margins.

I reduced the width of my browser window to create a horizontal
scrollbar, and then moved the scrollbar all the way to the right.

The background colors do not appear in the area on the right that was
formerly outside the browser window.

Please try at the following URL:

http://chriscressman.com/layout-test-simple.html

Can anyone suggest a fix for this or some alternate CSS to keep the
background colors regardless of scrolling?

Thanks.

~Chris

Re: [WSG] Full Width Striped Background with Centered Content

2008-12-02 Thread Todd Budnikas
if you apply a min-width to your body in css it will also solve this,  
including IE6 even though it doesn't understand it. Adding this to  
your body solved it for me in your example:

min-width:900px;

Re: [WSG] Fighting with IE

2008-12-02 Thread James Ducker
Hi Laert,

I don't have IE6 on this machine, but looking at your CSS I can see that you
are attempting to apply the :hover pseudo-class to a a DIV (div.project).
Normally this would be fine, But IE6 does not support :hover on any element
other than an a anchor. My recommendation would be to change those DIVs to
anchors, give them display: block; float: left; or however you want to do
it. With regard to div.hr, I would recommend instead using an actual hr
element and applying some CSS to it. HR styling can be a bit fiddly at
times, but this article seems to cover it all nicely:

To get a hover working in IE6, you'd need to change your CSS like so:

becomes

.project a:hover { background-color: #D1D1D1; }

and add a rule:

hi,

firstly List Guidelines: 
http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm this isn't really a 
helpdesk


secondly as you want the anchor to be displayed as block you might want 
to give it some height and width.

Hello everyone,

I´m looking for some help cause I´ve been fighting with IE here.

I´m bulding a new lightbox portfolio and it looks good on FF
but terrible on IE 6.

The over state of the squares is not working(IE6). Also I
built some lines with /div class=hr/div/ but don´t think
that´s correct since it´s looking different
in IE6. The last problem I got is the space between the lines
on the top´s text. It´s different from IE6 and IE 7 to FF.

My portfolio is : http://www.laertjansen.com/version02/

The CSS is:

body{margin:0; padding:0; background:#000
url(../images/bg2.gif) repeat scroll; font-family:Georgia,
Times New Roman, Times, serif; /*width:100%; /*display:
table;*/ font-size:small;}
#wrapper{background:#000 url(../images/background.jpg)
no-repeat scroll center top; margin:5px 5px 5px 5px;
padding-top:5px;}
#logo{margin:30px 0 10px 35px;}
#bio{margin:15px 0 18px 35px;}
#info p{font-size:92%; line-height:0.44; color:#696969;}
#info p span{background:#000; border-bottom:1px solid #00ADF7;}
#title{margin:15px 0 15px 35px;}
a{color:#fff; text-decoration:none;}
a:hover{color:#00ADF7; text-decoration:none;}
img{border:0;}
#portfolio{margin:15px 0 15px 35px;}
.cleaner{height:1px; font-size:1px; line-height:1px; clear:both;}
.square{width:190px; float:left; /*display:inline;*/ margin:0
5px 5px 0;}
.project{padding:5px 5px 5px 5px; background-color:#1E1D23;}
.project2{padding:5px 5px 5px 5px; background-color:#1E1D23;
display:none;}
.project:hover{background-color:#D1D1D1;}
.text span{display:block; color:#696969; font-weight:bold;}
.text{padding:6px; background-color:#0c0c0c; margin-top:0;
font-size:11px; color:#424242; line-height:135%;}
#footer{font-size:11px; color:#696969; margin-top:15px;
padding-left:35px; padding-bottom:15px;}
.hr{color:#252525; background-color:#252525; height:1px;
/*width:auto;*/ margin-left:35px; margin-right:4.2%;}

I really appreciate any help. thank you very very much in advance.

 Don't ascribe to malice that which can be more easily explained by 
 mistake. I'll take ill-informed cock-up over conspiracy any day, as
I 
 don't believe Australian politicians have the nous to manage a grand 
 conspiracy.

yeah a mix of very noisy religious extremist lobby groups and
influential 
people with vested interests and politicians in portfolios they have
little 
understanding of  leading to ill-informed cock-ups seems much more
likely 
than any kind of centrally-planned conspiracy.
