[WSG] Looking for Accessible and Standards based Drupal Main Navigation Module
Greetings all, We are working with an external developer who does speak Accessibility and Usability a bit, but not enough for me. I am looking for accessible and standards based Drupal main navigation module thingy with the specific requirement of being navigable via tabbing, including submenus. If you know of any modules, articles or specific implementations on how to do this, that would be great. Thanks all, Jim *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: memberh...@webstandardsgroup.org ***

[WSG] Ways of sending a HTML email
Hi all, A client of mine wants a HTML email with very little budget! So, I don't want to spend time setting it up in Campaign monitor for him. I'm wondering, can you send HTML emails straight from Word or Acrobat, or something like that these days? I'm not up to speed and can't find any info. It would be good if I could hand him some kind of design he can edit and send himself. Thanks for any advice, Paul *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: memberh...@webstandardsgroup.org ***
Re: [WSG] a tiny usability question on web form

(or any other location dependant information in other fields?). If the answer is yes, then I'd say it's quite important to have the country field *before* state for exactly the reasons your client states. And in my experience, this is also quite normal for commerce sites of international companies. Try buying something from Amazon or Apple for examples. If there is *no* dynamic or location dependant information in the other fields, then I'd say that it doesn't matter, in a technical sense, where you put the country field. It becomes a question of taste. Having said that, I think you will find it is quite common to put country before state (that sounds almost like a political statement ;) ). The state/province doesn't populate based from the country. Now I can see the reason after seeing the discovery's form posted by Elias. I would be cautious about looking at American sites for examples of this. Many American sites are strangely myopic about the rest of the world. Coming from Asia and live in the US, I have to agree with this :) Look at big/international company sites (even ones based in America. Bigger companies see the bigger picture more clearly). This reminds me of the checkout form from Apple website. I think what Apple does with its shipping address web form makes perfect sense for international company's site, it has 4 input fields for user to enter the complete address with one label, in which State is populated upon entering zipcode and Country must be IP detectable as it shows me "United State". I actually made a similar form for a 'request catalog' form years ago, however it didn't quite work for some careless users despite that the form has indication to "enter complete address" in bold and in different color. The form was for US customers only so no country field, still, some submitters either forgot to enter State or zipcode (it was a wander to me these are the two they would missed); after few months receiving too many in-completed addresses, I rephrased it to "please enter your full address including state and zipcode", still, some people missed it. In the end I had to make the form the standard US format, one input field for each and that solved the problem. The problem might be that the server-side validation was not perfect as it couldn't' give a validation error if a user does not entered a State or Zipcode. I think this can be solved with extra JS validation to enhance the usability today. tee *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: memberh...@webstandardsgroup.org ***

The above articles are about web form design – I am pretty familiar with that as I never able to stand ugly web form :) Here's an example where Country comes before state: https://www.discovery.apply2jobs.com/index.cfm. Scroll down to Division then select Country. This makes sense and echoes my client's take. tee *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: memberh...@webstandardsgroup.org ***
