Re: [WSG] RE: More than one H1?

2009-10-16 Thread Gaspar
Hello everyone,

There are many cases that you should repeat h1 or others headers.

I do many homepages or homepages of areas, and i don't know were i
should or not use the h1.
I don't use in page title because is not relevant. The correct use
should be on the titles of modules that i use, such as "last news" or
"last updates" or any title of some list of items.

And they have the some importance.

This problem will be solved, I hope, with the use of  and
 in HTML5.

Re: [WSG] Advice on design

2008-07-25 Thread Gaspar
hello,

i will do it in this way
http://www.gaspar.com.pt/ex/banner.gif

Cut the bottom of banner and then slice every images of the menus then cut
the image height.
Then in each link you put the image with diferents height and then the text.

Problems of this solution, if u use hover, you have to use a script that
change the src of img, easy with mootools and all images have a little
yellow blur that is part of the background of the image, u could for the
text to start a little down to dont cath de blur.

Or forget all this cut all images like the att and then


text
text
text

But every link , will have a diferent padding-top and background, and you
can use the hover.

Good luck for the site.
Cheers,
gaspar

Re: [WSG] how a href with javascript pass in A level

2007-10-23 Thread Gaspar
The problem is that the test pass in level A, and some links doesnt
work without javascript but because of a existense of a noscript the
test pass.

I think this should get a manual check or warning.
because almost noscript that i see just tell, this need flash plugin
or this site need javascript or simple tell me that javascript is
disabled.

This it's not alternative information! So all clients that require
level A, still gona have a inaccessible site, right!?

[WSG] how a href with javascript pass in A level

Hello,

iam trying to understand how a page that have 1 or 2 javascript in
href could pass in level A of WCAG 1.

it have a noscript but that doesnt prove anything, cynthisays.com and
TAW validators give the some result. I think they should give a
warning or even a Human check.

To prove if equivalent information are provide?

The site that iam testing is www.alentejolitoral.pt it use a
""

but for using a noscript it pass in level  A, this should be checked
by humam, right!?

As someone said last week, the original idea of target  was for use in
framesets.

 If you have a complex site which involves lots of
page swapping, there is still nothing to beat frames for simplicity,
ease of navigation etc.  Users simply love them!

Re: [WSG] To target or not

2007-07-19 Thread Gaspar

IN wcag 2, a draft of 17th May of 2007 you can see:

» http://www.w3.org/TR/2007/WD-WCAG20-20070517/#consistent-behavior

Guideline 3.2 Make Web pages appear and operate in predictable ways

3.2.1 On Focus: When any component receives focus, it does not
initiate a change of context. (Level A)

#changes of context
   change of:
  1.user agent;
  2.viewport;
  3.focus;
  4.content that changes the meaning of the Web page.
   Note: A change of content is not always a change of context. Small
changes in content, such as an expanding outline or dynamic menu, do
not change the context.

#viewport
   object in which the user agent presents content
   Note 1: The user agent presents content through one or more
viewports. Viewports include windows, frames, loudspeakers, and
virtual magnifying glasses. A viewport may contain another viewport
(e.g., nested frames). User agent user interface controls such as
prompts, menus, and alerts are not viewports.
   Note 2: This definition is based on User Agent Accessibility
Guidelines 1.0 Glossary.

I believe that force user to open in new window is force to change the
context. I think is more wise give to the user the chanse to choose
open or not open in new window.

And what we could do is get a way of make that job easier, and not
choose for the user.

I think that the weight of public opinion has been steadily turning against
this view over the past 10 years or so.  I would be interested in knowing if
there is any current research that supports the theory that opening links in
new windows will somehow keep visitors interested in your site longer.  Sure
it may keep them *stuck* there longer, but does that keep them *interested*?
My impression is that in 2007 the reverse is true.

There is certainly a considerable amount of anecdotal evidence that suggests
that for a certain percentage of web users, nothing infuriates them more
than forcing causing a new window to pop-up unexpectedly when you click on a
link.  I personally now use a JavaScript snippet to strip all
target="_blank" entries from the DOM before rendering pages are rendered in
my browser.

From a web standards perspective, the argument against opening links in new
windows dates back to the very first W3C Web Content Accessibility
Guidelines (1999), if not before:

Guideline 10.1
Until user agents allow users to turn off spawned windows, do not cause
pop-ups or other windows to appear and do not change the current window
without informing the user. [Priority 2]
http://www.w3.org/TR/WAI-WEBCONTENT/#gl-interim-accessibility

See also, the WCAG "Techniques" document notes for 10.5:
http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG10-HTML-TECHS/#no-new-windows

Lastly, if one really must spawn new windows with certain links, then I
quite like the method suggested by Bill Posters (note that this is
apparently still a Work In Progress):
http://test.newplasticarts.co.uk/dom-js/flag-toggle-external-links/

Phil.

Re: [WSG] To target or not

2007-07-19 Thread Gaspar

But all this examples doesnt still force the users to open a new window!?!
So i not use target="blank", it's the somethink, or i have turn off
javascript to be forced to open in a new Window!?

I many times think in this, and think in a way of using a class="" or
rel="" to a , this activate a javascript function that take the
href="" in question and creat after that element another  elemente
but with target="_blank" and just a image that everyone use for "new
window".

I know that this will duplicate the code, but just on fly, and the
user will not be forced to open in new window, he have the possibility
to choose. Or anything of this is wrong?

Re: [WSG] Use of PDFs - Accessibility issues

2007-06-08 Thread Gaspar

I thing PDF may be delivery as a complement for save the doc to our computer.
And should not be the single format for a web document, only if theres
no other better way to display it.

I thing there is no format to the web more complaint than a html web page.

I like PDF when i want to save  the dock to my computer to print or
read later. But even read later i prefer to go to the web page, it
could have been updated or have more useful comments.

So i thing that "marketing agency" dont know nothing about web or web
accessbility. If they know they  should tell that should recommend PDF
as a complement and not to replace HTML.

Nick, you've made it fairly clear that your question is about accessiblity
in PDFs, rather than whether or not it's a good idea to use them - but I'm
afraid the most common answer you're likely to get is going to be: don't
rely on them exclusively.

The web is for HTML; the ability to deliver other file types is possible,
but not the best option if accessiblity is desired. As printable
alternatives, sure, I guess (but what's wrong with a good print style
sheet?) - but I'm thinking of a number of Aust Govt sites which insist on
delivering critical info as PDFs and even Word docs, which I find
astonishingly short-sighted, as well as probably an abuse of accessiblity
guidelines, if not legislation. What if I don't have Word installed (and why
should I?)?

The site may certainly need an IA overhaul, if it's been mangled over time
by too many cooks - but that's no reason to stop using HTML in favour of
PDF, surely. I think the site owners should have it pointed out to them that
the agency's recommendations are simply out of touch with what's needed.

From WCAG Samurai Errata:

"We ban most PDFs: PDFs that should be HTML are banned unless they are
accompanied by HTML. All other PDFs have to be tagged."

Re: [WSG] .NET generate horrible html, i need some lights

2007-03-13 Thread Gaspar

I've been reading some stuff of Ms,
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa479043.aspx.

We use both .net 2 and 1 or 1.1, i think they dont care much about if
a menu is tables inside a table but i fighting against taht proving
that the weight is 3 /5 times more and semantic of elements.

but first i want to understand what can i do to help they sow i want
to learn all about compliant ASP.

Jason i dont understand quite well what does this..

"Due to adaptive rendering, if you want to validate using W3C validator add
the following file (remove .txt) to a directory called App_Browsers
http://idunno.org/misc/w3cvalidator.browser.txt";

Validates the code no need to rendering the code in browers?

Thanks to everyone
Gaspar

I have built a standard form with a list of options using radio buttons.

The form is for internal use only but I still want to maintain standards
and accessibility.

To improve the look of it for the client I have added some javascript
which hides the buttons and uses onclick events on the labels so that
the submit button doesn't need to be clicked.

This works fine on Firefox but does not work on IE with javascript enabled.

I did a search and found that there may be a conflict where there is a
document.submit and a submit button in the html.

I tried removing the submit button using the DOM but that has no effect.

I was rather pleased to get this working on Firefox as its my first
attempt at completely separating scripting and html.

Can anyone shed any light on this?

See code below.

[WSG] .NET generate horrible html, i need some lights

2007-03-12 Thread Gaspar

Hello everyone,
I always work with PHP, use it to output my (x)HTML in the way i want.

Now a get to a agency that only work with ASP, i just can believe that
there's no way to avoid runnet"_server", IDs with 1000 characters, the
some IDs on , values of forms with 50lines height, and the form
at the start that dont let me usa any Strict Language.

Iam not good with ASP, many of the functions i dont understand, i do
know that some of this points are easy to change but others like the
bigs ID.

Iam working with the interface/html team and maybe the team that build
the aplications wouldn be so open to that changes, they say that is
easiest and quicky putting the native elements of .net tham building,
i believe that but and the others people that update or even the
weight of pages.

I just want to help change this, http://www.ispa.pt u could check the
biggest value of a form that i see.

Could someone give me some links or some stuff that someone without
knowledge of ASP could help implementing some improves generate GOOD
(X)HTML

Many thanks,
Gaspar

I have already have found some:

Re: [WSG] alternative to target="_blank" in xhtml 1.1

2007-03-01 Thread Gaspar

I use a javascript that run into the ul list links and give them a
target="_blank" on fly if someone click it.

I know that this may not be the best way, some people wouldn´t know
that a new window will open. I try in the some script to use a NW  inside of the  and only if they click
in abbr will open in new window.

for now it just give a target="_blank" to specifics links.

I think we're going in circles here, and it doesn't look like they are
entirely within "best practices" and/or "web standards".

Problem:
1: Properly served XHTML 1.1 (as 'application/xhtml+xml') doesn't show
up as much in IE. (Shouldn't be any different on an intranet, but maybe
it is..? )
2: Alternatives to target="_blank" is needed because people using IE
don't know how to open links in new windows and will just left-click on
a link.

Solution:
1: On the web most people (and yes, that means people using IE) won't,
or at least "should not"[1], see the XHTML 1.1 document at all, so most
people won't need to open its links anywhere.
2: If IE users _can_ see the XHTML 1.1 document - regardless of whether
its on an intranet or out on the world wide web, then it isn't really
following standards anyway. No valid alternative to target="_blank" will
improve much on that.
3: If IE is excluded and all is according to standards, then _any_
method that isn't deprecated in the XHTML 1.1 standard, can be used to
circumvent that particular standard. Enough alternatives in this thread
already.

I think I derailed in a curve - somewhere :-)

That´s all about float elements...

Your  it's not floating, it's generate and
foloow the flux of HTML, the ul#nav it's inside but it's floating it
means that´s above but the height of wrapper it is not influenced by
the float element unless they are bot floating...

You could try put both float and u will see that the height it's influenced by both elements...

This it´s the cause to FF it does not recognize the height and join the both height-- Nuno Gaspar - Designer ---http://www.artideias.com

Hello!

I want to create an horizontal bar with some elements on it, some text,
a text box for searches, and date & time, just below the top part
of the page.

What's the best way to create a vertical-center content with XHTML 1.0
Strict and CSS2?

Thanks!





Hello,

that´s it's always a problem, i thing vertical-align only works with "inline-level and 'table-cell' elements".



u have to deal with the padding or margin and heigh... depends of what u are using...
