Re: [WSG] Css attributes
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.

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.

Re: [WSG] Mobile Phone Emulators
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. -Ryan On Sun, Oct 3, 2010 at 3:02 PM, Cole Kuryakin c...@koisis.com wrote: 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

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. -Ryan *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: memberh...@webstandardsgroup.org ***
Re: [WSG] HTML5 offline storage question
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 - http://www.thecssninja.com/javascript/how-to-create-offline-webapps-on-the-iphone -Ryan On Tue, Aug 10, 2010 at 3:58 AM, Rob Crowther robe...@boogdesign.comwrote: Hi Andrew Andrew Harris wrote: Is the offline storage tool in HTML5 designed for this sort of heavy lifting? are there storage limitations? on an iPad? 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
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. --Ryan On Mon, Mar 1, 2010 at 8:31 AM, Oliver Boermans boerm...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Lesley, On 1 March 2010 00:55, Lesley Lutomski ubu...@webaflame.co.uk wrote: Thanks to all who have replied. The clients in question are a committee (first problem!), who all say Oh, I know nothing about computers/the internet but at the same time refuse to be guided. Referring them to usability articles is a non-starter, because 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!
