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

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

Re: [WSG] To target or not
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.

Re: [WSG] To target or not
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.

Re: [WSG] Use of PDFs - Accessibility issues
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.

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. www.waynext.pt On 25/02/07, Gunlaug Sørtun <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Ricky Onsman wrote: > When it comes down to it, I think most people (and yes, that means > people using IE) will just left-click on a link. If you want > something particular to happen, you'd better code it in. 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 :-) Georg [1]http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml-media-types/#summary -- http://www.gunlaug.no *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *** -- Make it simple for the people -- http://www.artideias.com *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ***

Re: [WSG] FireFox eating Div
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
Re: [WSG] Vertical align
2006/2/10, Roberto Santana <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: 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... your text gonna start hat same nivel and you have to ajust to the text box-- Nuno Gaspar - Designer ---http://www.artideias.com
