Multifirefox works for me. http://www.dangerouslyawesome.com/category/multifirefox/ It allows you to choose a version of firefox as well as a profile so that you can keep them separate if you need different extensions or different versions of extensions.

Re: [WSG] website fonts

Hi Marvin - I'm going to assume that you are running Windows. If this is the case then it is *highly* unlikely that you don't have at least arial from that list. The other thing to bear in mind is that 'sans- serif' is not a font but is a style or family of fonts that share a particular look (they don't have 'serifs' which are little flicks at the end of letter forms). I haven't seen your actual code but if your HTML is correctly pointing to a CSS file and your CSS is using a valid font declaration then it should work. If it doesn't then there may be something up with your operating system thinking that fonts are in a different place to where they really are or maybe something up with your Jaws setup. When you specify fonts with CSS the usual pattern is to list your fonts in the order that you prefer. Each one is a fallback position if the prior one doesn't exist on the system. Normally the last one in the list is 'sans-serif' (or 'serif' etc.). This is essentially saying that if you don't have *any* of the listed fonts on the system then use whatever is the default 'sans-serif' font. I hope that helps.

Re: [WSG] INTERNET EXPLORER FORMATTING PROBLEMS

PS: DO I ROLL BACK TO VERSION 7. Hi Marvin - I noticed that you've taken to writing in all caps. On the web this is considered 'shouting'. You might want to hit the caps lock key. It seems like are were insinuating that there may be a bug in various browsers because your stylesheet isn't showing up. That's a really improbably supposition. What you need to do is to create a completely basic test case. It seems as if you are having some problems with your directory structure so my advice would be to initially put a single html file and a single css file in the same directory. Reference the css from the html. In the HTML there should be just the basic structure you need to test your issue (tables?). And in your CSS file you may only need a basic font-family declaration on the body. I seem to remember that IE used to have problems with inheritance of font styles in tables so you may want to check by styling the td element with a font as well. The other thing is to always remember to validate your code. Do you know how to do this? This will ensure that what you have written is correct and may help to pick up any little typos that may have crept in. I'm afraid I don't know whether Internet Explorer 8 has any problems with Jaws. If I were you I would check with the Jaws people or on a Jaws forum.

Re: [WSG] position relative or margin?

Margins can be used to push an element around but the space it takes up in the document is where it is visually. This is particularly noticeable with negative margins. If you set a negative top margin on an element then the element that follows it in the document will also move up the page and the gap between them will be the same as what it would have been originally. If you use relative positioning and set 'top' to a negative value there will be a bigger gap between the positioned element and the following element. This is because the following element will set its position in relation to where the positioned element would have been before positioning. http://snadden.com/sandbox/relative.html *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: memberh...@webstandardsgroup.org ***
