RE: [WSG] Emulating text browser

[Earle Castledine]

 Does anyone actually use lynx anymore though

I also use Lynx via telnet regularly because of blocked internet
access. Using Lynx is a nightmare - until you hit a standards-complient
site!

Also, looking at my site stats, I get about 1% of hits from Lynx (though
it is a pretty nerdy site)

Actually I know someone who uses it on a daily basis, due to an
extremely limited network/bandwidth quota at his workplace.

He can't install a second browser (locked down desktop), and he has to
keep IE set up for sites that don't work without graphics etc. He uses
Lynx via telnet since it's installed on the server, since that preserves
his quota (meaning he can read the morning news without destroying his
quota).

 AFAIK
 links, w3m, and other text browsers are far more popular. All these 
 other browsers preserve table structure.

I thought the more recent versions of Lynx supported tables?

RE: [WSG] CSS Document layout/structure

[Earle Castledine]

Im also interested in this As I'm a programmer I had started laying out my 
css like code, so that id have:

#nav{}
#nav p{}
#nav ul{}
#nav ul li{}

Which to me made sense and was nice and clear. But the problem was that things 
are not related 1 to 1... the #nav ul li{} may need to be styled in multiple 
places. Then it all fell to pieces :)

Subject: [WSG] CSS Document layout/structure


Hi,
I am struggling to get to grips with designing with web standards and 
one of the problems I am having is with reading style sheets.
Having sorted out the html code to make it more readable and modifiable 
it seems that we have shifted the mess to style sheets. Many of the 
sheets I look at are long, comment-less and very difficult to understand.
So that I don't fall into the same trap, can anyone recommend some 
reading on how to make style sheet structure and layout both 
understandable and also easily modified?
Thanks,

Charlie
