[WSG] bi-lingual page?

2005-08-09 Thread Barry Beattie
hi all

this is the first time I've done anything like this but I'm wondering what it 
takes to display two languages (and therefore two charsets) on the same page? - 
English and German

the content will be a side-by-side translation of each language

thanx
barry.b

PS: no doubt I'll have more questions later but I'm starting from the display 
and working backwards  to the content storage (ensuring the database can 
support unicode, etc) and then the content capture (a form in either English 
and German)

Subject: [WSG] GeoURL/Seach engine localisation

This is something which has been bugging me for a few days, so I'm
asking here... it's not standards as such, but it is accessibility
related to a vague extent ;)

GeoURL is still not functioning (http://geourl.org), but the meta tags
which are used to specify location are as follows:

meta name=ICBM content=LAT, LOG /
meta name=DC.title content=DESCRIPTION /

I was wondering if search engines (Google, I'm looking at you) can/do
make use of this ICBM data for localisation?  I know that it works on
IP blocks, and possibly other data, but why not this as well?  Or do
search engines use this information already?

And if so, why aren't more people using it to get targeted traffic?

This is primarily a 'bloging thing, of course, but I see no reason why
it shouldn't be more widely applied.

Just curious... I'm hoping this isn't too far off topic.

[WSG] divs and copying their content

2004-07-28 Thread Barry Beattie
hi all 

this might actually be something simple that I've forgotten but I'm noticing more div 
layed out sites are harder to accuratly select the text content. Select a word or two 
and next thing you know you've highlighted (and copied/pasted) half the page inc 
images.

to see what I mean, see if you can cleanly select a couple of words from 
http://webstandards.org/. you'll probably end up with more than you selected

can anyone explain why?

RE: [WSG] access keys and tab index

2004-07-27 Thread Barry Beattie

 They are used to seeing this type of thing in application software,
but not on the web.


Geoff, from where I sit, I'd have to disagree. 

people are wanting more out of the web. 

clients are demanding more functionality in web development than just
stuff to read and look pretty.

F'instance we're currently re-writing a legacy client/server app for the
web (in ColdFusion but we all wish we could afford Flex 'cos this would
be so much easier).

because of this, we have key listeners and tab indexes everywhere.
Almost all of the app is made up of forms and reports. Because they are
familiar to a windows environment, this has become a defacto standard. 

the apps' user base starts from office workers (with some computer
skills) thru to teachers, students (as young as 8yo) and parents (with
diminishing computing skills). 

it's a pain in the backside but it has to be done

Subject: RE: [WSG] access keys and tab index

I agree with what Derek says, and he sums it up nicely.

I have been using accesskeys since WCAG1 came out mid 99, and can cause
more
usability problems that provides ease of accessibility.  I even use
span
to underline the key letter to indicate the access key, which is the
standard way to show an access key, and the feedback I got was that most
people think there is some sort of browser display problem when they see
it.
They are used to seeing this type of thing in application software, but
not
on the web.  In cases like this, when I get this type of feedback, I
think
users are right, because it ends up being too foreign an interface for
them
when deployed rarely, then on top of that, you have the erratic
behaviour.
If they associate erratic behaviour with your web site, then what
impression
are you giving (... those crazy accessibility people:-)).

It also seems that users require accesskeys and use them in different
ways
on the web than are used by applications software.  In applications
software
it is mainly used for hotkeys and navigation, whereas it seems that most
users requiring them for accessibility would prefer that they be
designated
for prime operations, ie form navigation rather than site navigation.

I'm not saying there is anything bad about accesskeys or the idea behind
them, but the way they have been implemented by user agents ... (and
also us
designers) has created a bit of a mess.  It's a pity.

I still use them, but more and more sparingly.  Mainly for forms.  But I
think this is a good idea that has to evolve somehow before it becomes
reasonably usable.  But maybe the implementation is just not suited to
the
web.

RE: Future.....(was: Re: [WSG] iFrames vs Scrolling Divs)

2004-07-08 Thread Barry Beattie
awww... that's a bit rough on IFRAMES (and framsets in general)...

we're building web applications, not web pages per se. We're being
influenced by various windows UI's (more than just MS Windows) because
that's the standard that people expect. We're also pushing ahead as
far as a web platform will allow (using DHTML without going too far down
the Flash UI route).

to do that with dynamic content and without iframes/framsets is just
silly. Look at your Windows Explorer. you see more than one independent
pane that interacts.

Look at (admittedly old hat) Outlook Web Access (OWA - a clunky but
workable ASP web front for Outlook). you just can't build that sort of
functionality without frames.

you *might* with JS remoting calls changing the innerHTML of divs but it
would be such a massive headache to maintain such a convoluted page
structure (logic, not layout).

I waited years for IFRAMES to be cross browser (well, a couple anyway).
Don't you dare take them away now...

Scott wants to know who voted the W3C the ruling authority.

That was me!  20 years on the *net gave me that right.

Seriously, though, who voted the ISO or IETF to be authoritative enough
to
establish rules for people using the Internet and World Wide Web, oh yes
there is a difference?  Who established the rules for the World Wide Web
which ethical designers and developers attempt to follow?

If web development is your job, don't you think you should be good
enough to
follow the rules established?  If you were a construction builder
wouldn't
you have to follow rules?

As for iframe, I don't like it either.  I've used it once, but the page
it
was pulling in was a flash communications presentation for my radio
show.
As for frames, they were the most ignorant thing ever created.
Personally,
they should be allowed to exist today, but for some reason we can't get
rid
of them by some developers.

The real problem with frames is people don't know how to use them in the
first place.  Second, they lack any real features for accessibility.
For
SEO purposes they are really bad.

Frames were allowed in the beginning because browsers didn't have very
good
caching abilities.  Now that they do, you don't need them.  They won't
help.

Perhaps that will help some.

Scrolling DIVs at least put all the information on the same page, unless
you
plan on pulling in another page.  In my opinion the latter is a mistake.
Search engines say all content must be visible, it never says you can't
scroll a DIV to see all the information.

I think this demonstrates why having the Web vote on what should be
standards falls flat.

Wallace Stegner wrote, I don't know what I like as much as I like what
I know. Meaning, in this context, that people are likely to maintain
what they know and are comfortable with rather than to move forward into
concepts that force them to change. 

I work in a university and my guess if put to a vote we would have
outlawed any sort of CSS-P and probably any CSS at all. These folks grew
up on tables and font tags and are loathe to give them up.

Correct. According to what has been demo'd you will be able to
auto-generate XForms from a simple form specification using cfform
and the 'skinning' is done server side (by specifying an XSL file in
cfform). If you're targetting an XForm-capable browser, I guess you
could supply an empty XSL transform...

RE: [WSG] fieldset is REQUIRED

2004-07-01 Thread Barry Beattie

Mordechai, 

are you saying that, for XHTML1.1 complience, that a label and it's
associated form element needs to be within a fieldset?

if so, we've got a few changes to do around here ... D'oh!

Subject: [WSG] fieldset is REQUIRED

After getting: Error: element label not allowed here; possible cause is

an inline element containing a block-level element. I finally figured 
out that a fieldset is required for XHTML1.1. However, after after doing

some checking I couldn't find anything at the W3C about it in anything 
which passes even for their version of plain English. Sure, in the 
DTD's, grammars, etc., I found it stated, but not in anything which 
doesn't remind me of some of college classes.

It's amazing how little computers have changed in the last 25 years. 
Sure, they've become orders of magnitude more powerful and are therefor 
able to do so much more. But are they really different  from the old 
TRS-80 Model I Level 2 which the guy at Radio Shack let me play with?

 You'll need to choose your favorite XForms implementation

huh? are these just IDE's for building XForms? 

It seems that the next version of ColdFusion will be using XForms as a
version of CFFORM /

but to tie it back to standards, what versions of older browsers support
XForms?

thanx

Hello,

I've read that XForms should be style-able with CSS and XSL.

You'll need to choose your favorite XForms implementation:
   http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/Forms/#implementations

I think the DENG (aka Mozquito) iplementation has support for subsets of

CSS2 and CSS3.

 Tonight 44 people attended our Sydney WSG meeting - a huge night (where lots

Just wondering where the Canadians are in this group? Would be so bad to
have an event or two? I think I could get more uni web folks involved in
Ontario anyway.

The count says: Canada 29
