[WSG] Alerting users upon page reloading
Hello everybody, I have a question: It is obvious that if users enter invalid data in forms, eg. user name and/or password, or email address, we should not automatically change or refresh the browser window without first alerting him/her that a change will occur and giving him/her the ability to disable or postpone the change. We added a title attribute to the submit button: Page will reload!, and when the page reloading, the user with be directed to that page part, before the label tag, and will get a error message too. For example, try to subscribe our newsletter with an invalid email address to see what I mean here: http://www.webnauts.net Does this solve the accessibility problem? Thanks in advance for your kind comments, or for your alternative solutions. Best, John -- John S.

Re: [WSG] Pixel Perfect
Im just going to echo what Bob said. Your site will not print properly because a) your site is fixed width and is not designed to scale with smaller display areas (such as the translated size of A4 paper), and b) you do not have any style sheet that applies to printed pages, so that the fixed width will be converted to a variable width site (ready for for document printing). My advise would be to add in a print style sheet, that a) converts the page to a variable width format and b) removes non-required elements such as redundant images, headers, navigation etc. Printing a site (or converting to pdf) is generally done to be able to view the content of the page they are after, not to have a duplicate paper copy of a website.

Re: [WSG] pls help
Hi Lenoard,Whilst the min-width, min-height will work in the likes of FireFox you will find that it does fall over in the likes of IE. I had a similar issue for a navigation toolbar for a client where 300 of their terminal users were on 800x600 max resolutions, although with the amount of navigation required around 840px space width. Wrapping the navigation wasnt an option so a div was placed just above with a 1px height and 840px width. This may sound very old fashioned (aka tables and spacers) but it does work. You could place either a spacer gif, or 2 more divs in your code that are 800px wide and 600px deep. With a depth/width of only 1px. That way you will force the scroll bars on the smaller monitors. Most likely 760 x 520 would be more appropriate to take into account that even 800x600 monitors dont have a true width of 800, and the height a little less to take into account users toolbars etc...

Re: [WSG] Pixel Perfect
Bruce,I haven't been asked this before - not in 10 years. Typically there's a requirement for a particular page(s) to be able to be saved as a PDF, but for that we provide dedicated specific functionality - using a server-side PDF generator. It's a reasonable request, though, and could be achieved using a print stylesheet (which I understand haven't been added yet), so you may want to ask the client for definite requirements in this regard. From the sounds of it the requirements aren't clear at this stage - there's no way I'd expect a Web page to create a perfect PDF without special consideration of that requirement up-front.CheersSteve On 05/06/06, Bruce [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi all, I ran into something todat from a client I have never seen here or elsewhere.

Hi Bruce, Bruce wrote on 04-06-2006: I asked about a client recreating a site as a pdf, and having that expected, the entire site, and if anyone has had that requested as I have never been asked to have that. Maybe not exactly a match, but I have had problems where a client wanted the website, including navigation bars etc... in the printed output, and images printing at different scales to the online version... The problems were (as far as I recall) limited to background images, and only manifest in Firefox on Mac, where they printed larger than the live webpage. I thought it was related to the dpi of the images, so fixed that and still got the same problem. Changing the background image for printing was also not a solution because all other browsers I tried were consistent with the sizing of background images, whether live page or printed... even firefox on PC got it 'right'. I remain baffled. Maybe it helps shed some light...

Hi Steven, You wrote: I have used Coldfusion MX 7 server to generate PDF of HTML pages. ... I think .net has something similar too. I just came from checking for info on the site of one of our fine commercial enterprises that was, it seems, generated by .net. After not being able to successfully click on any of the apparent link icons, I checked the page source and it was a mess in regard to standards. The page markup had a nasty inline JavaScript line above the DOCTYPE, no URI in the DOCTYPE, JavaScript in the head, a call to an external JS in the head, and JavaScript in the body. I finally found the information I wanted in a .pdf that I had to magnify to be able to bring the tiny type up out of pixel hell. My impression is that the .net way is not a nice way to go if you want standards-based markup. -- Regards, Gene Falck [EMAIL PROTECTED] ** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list getting help **
