[WSG] Should logo not link to the homepage?

[John S. Britsios]

Dear co-members,

I would like to ask your opinion here, if a web site logo should or not 
link to the homepage.
By the way, see for example what Jesper Tverskov wrote about this:  
http://www.smackthemouse.com/20040719


Thanks in advance for your kind responces.

Kind regards,

Re: [WSG] A hand with text wrapping around images in CSS?

[John S. Britsios]

I think the problem is fixed: http://www.webnauts.net/redesign/
Do you something wrong there? If not, everything is fine.

Thanks a lot for your help.

Try adding:

.content {overflow: hidden;}

...as you have a case of floats being forced down to line up with
elements in the right column. 'overflow: hidden' will _isolate_ the main
column so that won't happen, but test it well across browser-land to
avoid unwanted side-effects.

The "fix" is based on 'block formating context'[1] in CSS2.1, where
other stylings for the same effect are listed.

Sure!

Oh, you're almost there.
eg.
html:
Usability Testing
class="fett">Usability is the measure of the quality of a  
user's experience when interacting with a product...


Add CSS:
p img.left {
  float: left;
  width: 100px; /* whatever the width of the image is */
  margin: 0 0 0.5em 0.5em;  /* I like to put a little padding on the  
image, for white space */

}

Actually, when I examine your css more closely - you are already  
doing this, although you havent applied a width to make the float  
valid...


HIH!

We've discussed this one before (a long time ago - I remember because  
last time it was me who asked :)) and concluded that it can only be  
done by including the IMG element in the HTML and floating it.
If anyone has thought up something since I would love to hear it, as  
I go for this effect all the time. :(

Re: [WSG] HTML Restructuring of hopkinsprogramming.net

Hi Zachary,

I just have noticed that your web site does not meet the requirements 
for WAI AA and AAA.

But it is really beautiful.

Best,

Hello all!

I re-did my website (http://www.hopkinsprogramming.net/) a while
back in an effort to update its look and improve the quality of
the coding behind it.

Right now, it looks perfect, just like I want it to.  But, I need
to improve/clean up the XHTML coding behind it - eg, properly
structure the page, designing first for Lynx and text based
browsers, then going back and making everything pretty for modern
browsers through CSS.

Do you all have any suggestions on the proper kinds of things that
should end up in the heading (-) tags?  Like, is my site
title or my page title supposed to be in ?

I greatly appreciate your suggestions and input.

Re: [WSG] Page Check: www.qm-consulting.co.uk/test/indextest

[John S. Britsios]

Hi Richard,

Very good work! Very nice web site!

My suggestions:

1. The XHTML 1.0 recommendation states that both "lang" and "xml:lang" 
attributes should be used when specifying the language of an element. 
The value of the "xml:lang" attribute takes precedence.


2. The "style" attribute has been used but a default style sheet 
language has not been defined (note that HTML Validator would not see 
this declaration if it is sent as an HTTP header by a web server). HTML 
4.01 and XHTML require this for valid documents.
For example, include this in the "head" section of your document to 
specify "text/css" as the default style sheet language: http-equiv="Content-Style-Type" content="text/css" />. See 
http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/present/styles.html#default-style


Good luck,

John
