Re: [WSG] free web accessibility checking toolbar
I don't know if this is old news or not, but I came across a Mozilla/Firefox toolbar similar to the IE Toolbar called Webdeveloper. The website is: http://extensionroom.mozdev.org/more-info/webdeveloper There is a version for Mozilla and Firefox and like the nils.org.au Accessibility Toolbar, is very easy to use. Also has some functionality the other doesn't have.. Like forms.. Ralph Mazzitelli [EMAIL PROTECTED] 12/01/04 9:00:28 Windows only unfortunately :( Peter Steven Faulkner, from the Accessible Information Solutions (AIS) team, has developed a free web accessibility checking toolbar for Internet Explorer http://www.nils.org.au/ais/web/resources/toolbar/ The Accessibility Toolbar software contains a range of Tools: To examine discrete aspects (structure/code/content) of a html document To facilitate the use of 3rd party applications To simulate the user experience of different users Along with a range of references and additional resources.

[WSG] Incorrect display of characters
Hey all.. Now there might be a really simple answer to this, but I recently been reading the article http://www.uiweb.com/issues/issue24.htm For some reason, when I was at home using Firebird 0.7 or Opera 7, characters such as ' appear normal. However, when I use IE6.0 at work, characters such as ' appear as question marks (?). In other words, words such as I'm appear as I?m. I noticed that there is no doctype. Is this IE going into quirks mode? I never would have thought this would happen with characters. I am wondering if anyone else has the same problem. I find it makes it a bit annoying when reading.

[WSG] PDA Browser Testing

RE: [WSG] PDA Browser Testing
Thanks all for your help! [EMAIL PROTECTED] 09/01/04 12:29:43 Umm - actually, if you're connected to the 'net on your Palm, you can enter a URL and browse away to your heart's content (Channels menu - Open Page...). from memory the main restriction is that it requires an HTML meta tag in the header of the document to tell it that it will be able to display the page; meta name=HandheldFriendly content=True other than that, it is a browser in it's own right, and can handle a fair amount of the stuff that a normal browser can (albeit *much* smaller on a Palm screen :) Beau // -Original Message- // From: Miles Tillinger [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] // Sent: Friday, 9 January 2004 9:23 AM // To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] // Subject: RE: [WSG] PDA Browser Testing // // // // AvantGo only allows you to sync with various websites that // provide an AvantGo feed.

[WSG] Guideline/Best Practice for web development
Hi All.. I was wondering whether anyone has or knows of a good guideline/best practice when designing and developing web based applications. Eg, always HTML Encode and validate all user input and any other web based security issues.. Also, ways to test your applications eg for SQL Injection and Cross-site scripting.. Don't really mind what technology it is for.. whether CF/Java/ASP/PHP etc.. Ralph Mazzitelli This transmission is for the intended addresse only.
