Tee,

IE6 is out there. Heck, IE5 is still out there (I made the decision to 
ignore IE5 already). How you deal with IE6 (or not) is up to you.


Personally, I still have to check IE6 and at least make sure my layouts 
are working properly. I try to do little things like limiting my use of 
.png files to a minimum so things don't look too ugly. IE6 is around, 
but it's old enough that I only go so far to make their experience match 
that of a modern browser.


I'd love to ignore IE6 too, but real people without a choice are using 
it in the workplace everyday.  A couple of my clients have an office 
full of Windows 2000 workstations.


The Chrome frame you mention can't be expected to be widely adopted on 
systems where the users can't even install anything period.


They probably use Chrome at home though.

Most of those corporations don't allow end users to install software, and 
Chrome frame appears to require XP or newer (so you can count Win2k users out).

 However it does not answered if we need to worry about fixing IE6 or not.


This nudges the effective usage of IE6 down a little, but the browser is still 
out there and you still need to decide about the relative merits of supporting 
those users Vs. not doing a lot of work.

In our large-ish corporate environment we're stuck with IE6 as our default 
probably for another year :(

While we know that people have installed newer browsers——IE7 is authorised, but 
not the default--we still can't stop supporting IE6.

One of the UK high street banks who has tens of thousands of users recently
advised me that they will be retaining IE6 as the default browser until 2014
due to the huge amount of work required to fix the large number of bespoke
applications they use. Staff can ask for special dispensation to get IE7
installed but if you've ever tried to get a corporate IT department to do
anything you'll understand that very few people will bother asking.

I think that techies forget the concerns that ordinary people have about
technology. Older users in particular are often reluctant to install or
change anything because they don't know what they can trust and they are
scared something will break. Unlike us, they don't have the knowledge or
facilities to fix anything that goes wrong.

I suspect that the kind of websites that ordinary people use will still be
seeing significant IE6 traffic (probably in excess of 10%) for a couple more
years. The stats for techie sites will be very different, so a decision on
whether to support IE6 will depend on the demographics of the visitors.

FWIW, one of my team was in Bangalore over Christmas and had to use an
Internet café. The machines were running Windows 98! So let's not forget
that some parts of the world cannot afford to upgrade as fast as we can.

RE: [WSG] google chrome frame

2010-01-03 Thread Tatham Oddie
I've spent the last 12 months working on the one of the largest sites in
Australia. Over this time we have updated our browser support matrix twice,
and will probably update it again soon.

For us, IE6 usage is starting to hit a rapid decline, falling at about 1
percentage point a week. The last 3 weeks have been 8.75%, 7.60% and now
6.25%.

Considering Chrome is currently unsupported but at 4.57% (and growing), I
expect our next update will be to drop IE6 support in favour of adding
Chrome support.

That being said, the whole site is based on progressive enhancement so it
already works in Chrome and we even have a small but consistent set of users
browsing on their PS3s.

Nevertheless, the decision of which browsers you support (and to what degree
you support them) needs to be something that you evaluate and decide
yourself using your own market metrics. Anybody who tells you what you
should and should not support is most likely an idiot and probably not a
very good business person.

[WSG] google chrome on windows 98?

2009-04-21 Thread tee

Anybody knows if Google Chrome can run on Windows 98 and W2K?

Google is aggressively promoting google chrome, I see it puts a big  
icon for ie6 on google page.


A few of my clients have visitors from South Africa and a few Eastern  
Europe countries, the IE6 user is higher (over 30%), even my site  
which attracts people from many countries and the IE6 stat has jumped  
up (use to be like 10% but now is 20 - 25%) despite that I have a 'you  
are seeing this message because you use IE6' message.


This is very depressing as it indicates that this browser still isn't  
going to die by the end of 2009. So I am really curious if Google  
Chrome can help speed up the death of IE6.

I'm currently consulting at a Very Big Software Company where the
IT-standardized PC image installed on all systems, currently, is
Windows XP with IE6. Yes, IE6, and most users are not given admin
authority over their systems to install/upgrade software.

So I don't think Chrome is going to change that situation :-)

The point is it works fine in Opera, Safari and Chrome, if they didn't  
have the browser sniffing there.  You can test it in Opera by masking  
the user agent as Firefox.  It's the same with the majority of the  
cases I deal with, with browser sniffing and Opera.  It just blocks a  
browser that would otherwise be capable to access the content.

 Well designed gui,  all its needs now is firebug and

I hope they fix the bug that prevents me from saving those thumbnails it

What use is that feature if I can't save them?

Just clear up my understanding, folks; is Internet Explorer accessible
because Microsoft builds the accessibility features, or because a
third-party software vendor builds the features? I know Microsoft has
been very good about building a number of user-friendly features into
Windows, like the on-screen keyboard and OS-level magnifying tool, but
I thought that all the screen readers and similar assistive devices
were developed by third parties.

If Google Chrome is really open source, then it seems that the same
could be done for it, with a lot less expense than designing assistive
software/devices for a proprietary browser.

Re: [WSG] Google chrome... Accessibility coming very soon???

2008-09-05 Thread Steven Faulkner
Hi Christian,
 Just clear up my understanding, folks; is Internet Explorer accessible
 because Microsoft builds the accessibility features

The short answer is yes

Details of the accessibility of internet Explorer can be found in the
VPAT (voluntary product accessibility template) supplied by Microsoft:
(http://download.microsoft.com/download/c/2/3/c23bc250-5f80-4d0c-a29d-877355ff91e8/IE7_VPAT%20version%201%200.doc)
- word doc and the VPAT for Firefox 3 is available here:
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/vpat-3.html

 I have reproduced the relevant VPAT info for Internet Explorer 7 below:


Section 1194.21 Software Applications and Operating Systems - Detail
Voluntary Product Accessibility Template


(a) When software is designed to run on a system that has a keyboard,
product functions shall be executable from a keyboard where the
function itself or the result of performing a function can be
discerned textually.

Supported with Exceptions:

Windows Internet Explorer 7 supports all standard keyboard features of
the user interface.

Windows Internet Explorer 7 provides Help functionality that includes
easily accessible reference guides for keyboard shortcuts.

In addition, documentation on Keyboard Shortcut keys are available
online: 
http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Windows/en-US/Help/fe192a3f-1401-4233-919e-cae97eca4c0c1033.mspx

More documents on this subject can be found at:

http://www.microsoft.com/enable/products/keyboard.aspx

Windows Internet Explorer 7 provides a new user interface; keyboard
users can use the Alt key to activate the classical menu.

Exceptions:

Windows Internet Explorer 7 browser arbitrary text content cannot be
selected by the keyboard. Text can be selected by using a mouse or
other pointing device.

Windows Internet Explorer 7 supports all standard keyboard operation
of the user interface. Java and in-page plug-ins for content such as
Flash cannot be used with the keyboard so they must not be installed
for keyboard-only users. The tab order skips over in-page objects
completely, so form controls within them cannot be used without a
mouse.


(b) Applications shall not disrupt or disable activated features of
other products that are identified as accessibility features, where
those features are developed and documented according to industry
standards. Applications also shall not disrupt or disable activated
features of any operating system that are identified as accessibility
features where the application programming interface for those
accessibility features has been documented by the manufacturer of the
operating system and is available to the product developer.


Supported with Exceptions:

Windows Internet Explorer 7 supports system StickyKeys, FilterKeys,
MouseKeys, SerialKeys and ToggleKeys.

Exceptions:

Windows Internet Explorer 7 does not use the cursor width from the
system setting.


(c) A well-defined on-screen indication of the current focus shall be
provided that moves among interactive interface elements as the input
focus changes. The focus shall be programmatically exposed so that
Assistive Technology can track focus and focus changes.


Supported with Exceptions:

Windows Internet Explorer 7 uses programming interfaces to expose the
location of the focus indicator and Microsoft Active Accessibility(R)
to expose its interface elements to assistive technologies.


Microsoft Active Accessibility is a COM-based technology that improves
the way accessibility aids work with applications running on the
Microsoft Windows operating systems. It provides dynamic-link
libraries that are incorporated into the operating system, as well as
a COM interface and application programming elements that provide
reliable methods for exposing information about user interface
elements.

Exceptions:

The caret indication is neither visible nor programmatically exposed
in read-only fields.



(d) Sufficient information about a user interface element including
the identity, operation and state of the element shall be available to
Assistive Technology. When an image represents a program element, the
information conveyed by the image must also be available in text.

Supported:

Windows Internet Explorer 7 user interface elements are exposed
programmatically through native object models and programming
interfaces such as Microsoft Active Accessibility. Standard Windows
controls and interface elements automatically expose this information
through Microsoft Active Accessibility. Labels are associated with
controls, objects, icons and images in Internet Explorer user
interface.

(e) When bitmap images are used to identify controls, status
indicators, or other programmatic elements, the meaning assigned to
those images shall be consistent throughout an application's
performance.


Supported:

Windows Internet Explorer 7 utilizes standard and consistent images throughout.

(f) Textual information shall be provided through operating system
functions for displaying text. The minimum

  First i thought it felt unfinished, but then the minimal design grew on
 me. Very uncluttered.  And drop down menus consolodate a lot of screen real
 estate. Well designed gui,  all its needs now is firebug and id use it. And
 i like the incognito windows, thats a slick feature.

 No, it has a different JavaScript engine, and doesn't support a

@font-face
and a

 no browsers support border-radius.  It does support
 -webkit-border-radius, as far as I know (I'm running on Mac and
parallels
 doesn't work on my 64-bit Vista, and I can't be bothered to do the few
hours
 re-install process of Vista)

 -webkit-border-radius renders just fine. Running Chrome on XP on VMWare
 Fusion. http://www.css3.info/preview/rounded-border/

 Without WebKit's anti-aliasing as far as I can tell from Twitter posts.
I'm
 wondering if this is due to webkit using platform specific code for 
things
 like this and text-shadow, as being a reason why they are not in Chrome
 (Safari on Windows has a compatibility layer), or if it is a older 
branch.
  I'm thinking more the former.


Could someone tell me if it has Google Download Accelerator or other
Google Toolbar features built in? I'm just wondering how much is under
the hood...

I believe it's a know bug, a missing feature. It's something David Pogue
mentioned in his column on the Chrome
releasehttp://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/03/technology/personaltech/03pogue.html,
his most recent column:

At the moment, for example, there's no way to e-mail a Web page to someone,
no full-screen mode, no way to magnify the page (rather than just the text),
and no bookmarks organizing screen. Google says that these features are at
the top of its to-do list.

Re: [WSG] Google chrome...

2008-09-04 Thread Nancy Gill
One thing I have noticed today is that it creates 3 different processes in 
the Task Manager to run one coyp of chrome.  I have tested this several 
times with the Task Manager open and everytime I open the browser, I add 
three processes all named chrome.  They vary from 5mb to 44mb of memory 
usage.


I can't figure out why it has to load the process three times in order to 
run.

First i thought it felt unfinished, but then the minimal design grew on 
me. Very uncluttered.  And drop down menus consolodate a lot of screen 
real estate. Well designed gui,  all its needs now is firebug and id use 
it. And i like the incognito windows, thats a slick feature.

Shift+Esc in Chrome will open up Task Manager - Google Chrome, which
should help in answering your question.

 usage.

 I can't figure out why it has to load the process three times in order to
 run.

It runs every tab in a separate process, plus one main one for the 
browser.  This means a crash on a single page won't bring down the whole 
browser, it also means there is, for the first time in a browser, the 
possibility of seeing exactly how much memory and CPU power an 
individual website is using up (right click on the window bar and select 
Task Manager).

Why? Accessibility can't just be bolted on afterwards - it needs to be
designed in from the start. The fact that the application cannot be used
with just a keyboard is criminally negligent - that's a fundamental
requirement of any application. The simplicity of the UI means it should
have been really easy, and the fact that the application is device-dependent
suggests that accessibility isn't on their radar at all.

The fact that keyboard-only users, screen reader users and others cannot use
the browser at all means that they are entirely excluded from the beta
phase, so it seems they will not be able to provide feedback until it goes
gold, if it ever does. For an organisation with Google's resources this is
totally unacceptable.

I think it might be in beta in perpetuity - sort of like g-mail and Adobe 
Spry. My guess is it protects them from litigation. I would be very 
surprised to ever see a shipping release.


That said, I'm not sure what this all has to do with standards :-)

Well... Google has a track record of a) keeping products in permanent beta;
and b) never getting around to that pesky accessibility bit. So, personally
I think waiting until its out of beta is a bad idea :)

Not likely. A large numbers of them use IE6 because their Intranets were

It's Webkit, so rendering issues should be insignificant. Any

fact, I can't sign in to any google services). Is this problem
affecting everyone or is it just our network? If it's affecting
everyone that's pretty massive fail for Google.

No, it has a different JavaScript engine, and doesn't support a

@font-face and a few others.





Does it support border-radius or -webkit-radius?

got the file twice - apparently intact and sane, but wouldn't run - with
Download Express. The same file downloaded the old and tested way (same

Hope this helps.

Re: [WSG] Google chrome...

Christian,

No it doesn't come with Google toolbar. I'm not sure if Google 
Accelerator is built in without the user knowing but it did load the 
Acid 2 test really fast (and passed it). I did a review if anyone wants 
to read it. I wondered the same thing about the Google toolbar and am 
hoping they provide the ability for addons like firefox. (eg the 
del.icio.us extension!).

PS- Thanks to those who replied for my image display float issue. 
Display block-inline worked great but not in IE (darn ie) so I'm still 
thinking. Inline worked if I didn't want a border around the image and 
caption so thanks to those who helped me out. :)

Yes, this is the case. There has been a lot of talk about this in GAWDS, and
Steve Faulkner has written about it at
http://www.paciellogroup.com/blog/?p=92.

Basically it looks like there's no MSAA support. If they don't address this,
many large organisations (at least in the UK) will not use it. I imagine
that such organisations are exactly the people Google are expecting to build
applications using Chrome, so hopefully this will be addressed at some
point, ideally before it comes out of beta.

btw I tried to save one of thumbnail images it generated on its Most

- but ...  save image as doesn't work!
(and if I try to open it in another tab it dumps it out as if it were text

Interesting to read the many comments on this. It's utilising Webkit as a 
rendering engine (also behind Safari and Konquerer 4), which is BSD and LGPL 
licensed. In turn Google say they are licensing Chrome as Open Source, meaning 
depending on the actual license, items like V8 (http://blogoscoped.com/google-
chrome/17)  other bits (http://blogoscoped.com/google-chrome/38) can be 
utilised in other browsers.

Interesting times and certainly more compelling and forward-thinking than 
Compatibility View ...

I really like to see that it magically repairs IE6 broken web, so that  
we can forever moving forward and it helps save IE team from  
implementing compatibility view in IE8. Hack!, they might just start  
thinking why do we wasting our time on IE8. Rumor has circling in  
Technorati, MSN, Diggit that the head of IE team was sending his  
resumé to google inc.


As for google, it will win over all big corp that use IE6 for their  
intranets. Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer has finally  realized the  
company has lost the web, and hence stopping all attempts trying to  
take over Yahoo. Bill Gates steps in, fires his CEO, gathers a group  
of talents from outer-space working on a project calls webXsPace, and  
release a press release, claiming: We will prevail, right here from  
where we have fallen down!.


15 yeas later, a new web technology emerges that will use no  
broadband, no 3G wireless and no monitor but  a pair of optical glass  
or contact lens (good for me as I already wear ones)


As for google, the company has moved its HQ to Mars since 2015.

Oh! I can't wait to download the Chrome.

is much improved and the multi-threading has improved the speed of web

Of course they could bite the bullet and make it red - then it would be

However Gmail won't load on any computers with Chrome on at work (in

Its a brilliant browser, a true innovation to the way we use the web. Too

We had that problem here but it turned out to be a proxy issue.
Interestingly though it turns out that Chrome loads and edits the connection
settings from IE, instead of having its own settings.

It's truly Frankenstein's Browser: bits of Safari, Firefox and IE stitched
together into a new creature ;)

Did everyone get a laugh out of about:internets in Chrome? :)

Oh, the browser works fine. I can access everything except google

their authentication page and kind of... stops. Loads for a while then
nothing, just a blank white page.

Again, only Google services, so kind of epic fail.

You can grab the source from : http://code.google.com/chromium/

According to the site, it won't (yet) build fully on Mac or Linux

They charged 3 times more than I charge my clients.  It finally hits  
me that I must work hard on my English and learn to write the contact  
myself.


Maybe google had a lawyer like the two I encountered? :-)

 Just my 2 cents who had hired two lawyers to draft out
 policy/copyrights/contact  for my business.

 The first one basically copied and pasted one of his client's policy to
 mine and forgotten to replace the company's name to min

Question: does Chrome actually record your browsing and send that
information back to Google or are people just freaking over nothing?

If they don't have that functionality built in to chrome yet, they certainly
have written themselves a license to built that in whenever they want to.
