[WSG] Fwd: IE5 Bug - Image won't appear when floated. Please help.
Thank you. Will go a head and try it and let you know.Cheers,Elle Adding position:relative to the floatleft class fixes it here. This did not cause any problems on other browser I have (IE6, Firefox, Opera) but you may want to filter this so only IE5 and below gets this styling, either using IE's conditional comments or other CSS filtering methods. Regards Jason

Re: [WSG] Markup for an FAQ?
I would use either use just a definition list or an unordered list with a nested definition list. Therefor, it is a list of questions with the answers being the questions definition. That's how it makes sense to me! :) Example: ul lidldtWhat's the deal with this website?/dt ddWell, the deal with this website is this. This is the deal with this website./dd /dl/li lidldtWhat do I do with this website?/dt ddHere is what you do with this website. This is what you do with this website./dd /dl/li /ul I wrote this without researching semanticity (is that a word?) first. I may be wrong... Hope it helps! Jough [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Greetings.

Re: [WSG] Markup for an FAQ?
I disagree. I think the answer to a question is its definition. Think of it like a dictionary. What does the word dog mean?

Re: [WSG] Markup for an FAQ?
From: Joseph Bernhardt [EMAIL PROTECTED] I disagree. I think the answer to a question is its definition. Think of it like a dictionary. It depends on the nature of the questions and answers. In many cases a heading and a paragraph are perfectly appropriate. I'll leave the issue of whether some FAQs should be unordered lists or definition lists as a matter of opinion. -- Al Sparber PVII http://www.projectseven.com Designing with CSS is sometimes like barreling down a crumbling mountain road at 90 miles per hour secure in the knowledge that repairs are scheduled for next Tuesday. ** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list getting help **

One of the advantages of using a list is - IMHO - that we know where it starts and where it finishes. Being inside a UL/LI would solve that problem. I think the UL is just as justifiable as using the DL, perhaps more so because there is a boundary - unlike the DL. ** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list getting help **

i have one setup at: http://www.eatons.net/tools/code2html.html it will convert and syntax color your code. You can use it or get the source code from the link at the very bottom of the page. -chuck PS: you can also add line numbers. == On Apr 17, 2006, at 6:09 PM, Dan Bowling wrote: I would like to post some code online, but it is a ton of work to manually convert tags to their ascii equivalents.

RE: [WSG] Convert html to ascii script?
Heres the easiest method out there, if you have dreamweaver Paste your source code into the design view of Dreamweaver. Then go to the code view and all of the code elements have been converted to ascii.

[WSG] Australian Web Conference update
Hi All, A few weeks ago, Peter Ferminger was kind enough to let you all know that regrettably this year there won't be a Web Essentials conference. But, as promised, in the tradition of those very successful events there will be a conference, brought to you by two of the founders of WE04 and WE05, Maxine Sherrin and John Allsopp. http://webdirections.org Web Directions is on in Sydney September 28 and 29, and while we will officially launch in early May, our site is up, so you can subscribe to the RSS feed for news, or send us an email so you'll be the first to know when registrations open. WE05 did sell out, disappointing quite a few people, so don't miss out this year if you are interested. http://www.webdirections.org/feed/rss/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] Expect even more of what you liked about WE04 and WE05, with new subject areas like Information Architecture, an even bigger lineup of Australian and international experts, and two days of full day workshops from world leaders in web design and development, user centred design, Accessibility, and Javascript, DOM and AJAX development. See you in Sydney in September, and keep an eye out for events in the leadup to the conference, thanks john John Allsopp style master :: css editor :: http://westciv.com/style_master blog :: dog or higher :: http://blogs.westciv.com/dog_or_higher WebPatterns :: http://webpatterns.org Web Directions Conference :: Sydney September 28-29 :: http://wd06.com ** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list getting help **

Re: [WSG] UL/LI or DL/DT for drop down menu
From: Cole Kuryakin [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hello All I'm putting together a drop down menu that currently uses UL as the container and LI's as the tag for each menu item. What does everyone think of this in regards to symantics? Should I be using a DL/DT pairing instead - it seems to me that drop-down lists could be considered definition lists. I don't know, I go back and forth on this. Menu would be the obvious choice, but it's been deprecated. Interested in this communities opinion. For a menu, an unordered list would probably be the better choice. -- Al Sparber PVII http://www.projectseven.com Designing with CSS is sometimes like barreling down a crumbling mountain road at 90 miles per hour secure in the knowledge that repairs are scheduled for next Tuesday. ** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list getting help **
