Re: [WSG] Css attributes

2010-10-18 Thread Ryan Seddon
Tim,

:not() is a CSS3 pseudo-class, IE8 doesn't support any CSS3 pseudo-classes.
However you could use http://selectivizr.com/ to add that support using
javascript.

Cheers,

Ryan

  Hi



 I’m trying to build some attribute selectors in CSS to check for missing
 content. Ie.



 IMG[alt=]

{

 border-width: 3px;

 border-color: #ff;

 border-style: solid;

 }

 // will place a red border around any image with an empty ALT tag







 IMG:not([alt])

{

 border-width: 3px;

 border-color: #ff;

 border-style: dotted;

 }



 // will place a red border around any image with no ALT tag



 The problem is the second one (not) only works with Firefox and Chrome. It
 won’t work in IE8



 Does anyone have a suggestion?



 Thanks

 Tim

Re: [WSG] Mobile Phone Emulators

2010-10-03 Thread Ryan Seddon
I've been using a free trial on perfectomobile.com which gives you remote
access to real devices, basically has a webcam setup on the screen. Register
through this 
linkhttp://www.perfectomobile.com/portal/cms/opera.xhtml?key=OP631R89YL2and
it'll give you 7 hour trial instead of the usual 1.

 Hello All -

 I've been tasked with setting up a few form pages to be viewed on mobile
 phone devices.

 Currently I'm using Adobe's Device Central - which is okay but it really
 doesn't show how the forms (particulary select lists) will be shown on
 various mobile devices.

 I've also tried the online Opera emulator which seems to work pretty well,
 but what about Nokia, Motorola, Samsung, Apple, etc., etc.

 I've read on-line that for Nokia and Apple you've really gotta download
 their SDK in order to accuratly test webpages - true?

 Would greatly appreciate any advice from those of this group who develop
 mobile viewable pages (particulary forms) on where to test your efforts for
 the best compliant and visual result across the largest number of mobile
 devices possible.

Re: [WSG] HTML5 offline storage question

 You can split resources across multiple manifest files, though, as far as I
 can tell, the you only get one manifest per page.


Yeah that is a good point. Although doing so would require the person to
visit each page which has it's own manifest before it will be cached.


  Have you ever tried caching pages which themselves have manifests?


If you're referring to the page which references the manifest. The page
which calls the manifest is automatically included in the cache.

Re: [WSG] HTML5 offline storage question

2010-08-10 Thread Ryan Seddon
I've played around with the appCache quite a bit and it certainly has its
limitations. If you make an update to the manifest file it will re-download
every asset listed in the manifest. The limit, although it isn't documented
anywhere, is 5mb for iPhone and 10mb for iPad. It's really only designed for
assets that will rarely change.

I wrote an article way back you might be interested in -

  Can you confirm, are you referring to Web Storage[1] or Offline
 Resources[2]?  Web Storage is really just cookies on steroids and probably
 isn't what you're after to store large amounts of binary data.  Offline
 Resources may be up to it, it's not clear to me what the limits are and I
 can't find any definitive documentation anywhere, but it's a whole different
 approach[3].

Re: [WSG] Background music on web pages

2010-02-28 Thread Ryan Seddon
You may want to take a look at the WCAG
guidelineshttp://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20/#visual-audio-contrast-dis-audioabout
audio playing on a website, says there should be an easy mechanism to
stop/pause the audio if it runs longer than 3 seconds.

  The clients in question are a committee (first problem!), who all say
 Oh, I

  they'll just not look at them.  I've tried reducing the arguments to very
  basic, non-technical issues, but my powers of persuasion are apparently
  lacking.

 Maybe they need a real world example. Next meeting you have with the
 committee, before they arrive, hide a couple of portable stereos in
 your reception. Have them playing 'pleasant' music, simultaneously.
 Let them wait a little while before you bring them into the meeting
 room where you have more music playing – don’t switch it off before
 they ask you to :-)

  Given that I can't afford to turn down the work, I'll take on board the
  points folk have made here and promise to do the least-awful job on it I
  can!

 Make the point that you are in the business of building websites which
 leave a positive impression on the visitors and it would be negligent
 on your part; to not point out the cons of music on a page. Where the
 music is not the primary subject of the content anyway.

 Failing that…I have not tried it - but something like this appears to
 provide the control you would want to STOP the music:
 http://www.happyworm.com/jquery/jplayer/

 Perhaps if you added a mouseenter/focus event to a large portion of
 the page which would switch it off. Once you know the visitor has had
 enough of the 'ambience' of the site and is ready to learn more…

 Good luck!
