Re: [WSG] Problem with css dropdown menus

You will see that if youo move the mosue over the Services item,
the dropdown that appears lies behind the Useful links item. I
would rather have it infront of the Useful links item.
I actually thought that the z-index would allow me to move the
dropdown to the top, but that doesn't work.
Yes, it does, but you're adding 'position: relative; z-index: 1;' to all
states, so it has no effect on the stacking.
Restyle it so only the hovered state is positioned and stacked...
#primaryNav li{position: static /*default*/;}
#primaryNav li.Over,#primaryNav li:hover {position: relative; z-index: 1;}
...and the dropdown is automatically stacked in front when it appears.
It won't look much different though, since the dropdown drop down
below the two top-links. If you want the dropdown to *cover* the
top-links, then you also have to move it up.

[WSG] CSS flyout menu
Hi All, Back again - what a day - after being strict with myself about 100% valid HTML, CSS and access on ALL designs that leave my studio this year ... I realised my own site was in a bit of a pickle - how embarrassing! Anyway - all done - though I will have to go back to statcounter to get the valid version of their code. Anyways - reason I am here - I have just been working on a CSS flyout menu - please see www.project.ex16.co.uk and I wondered if you guys could try it out on different platforms for me to see how it behaves. Their is sub nav available under the senior and junior sections (hopefully).

[WSG] Embedded Media for IE and Gecko
Hi all, Long time since I posted for help, however... I'm embedding the Windows Media Player in a site and want to play a wmv file. My original code for XHTML 1.0 compliant markup is - object id=winmedia type=video/x-ms-wmv data=full URL width=320 height=285 standby=Loading Microsoft Windows Media Player components... param name=src value=full URL / param name=autostart value=0 / param name=controller value=true / /object As far as I know, this should work. It does in IE but FF 1.5.0.7 coughs and dies sporadically and takes an age to initialise and load. I've Googled for definitive resolutions on this (as well as hitting Mozilla's FAQ page) but I'm fast becoming disillusioned. If I may, I need an accurate, definitive resolution to this ASAP.

Re: [WSG] The usability of a frame-style layout
I/FRAMES weren't removed because they are frames, I/FRAMES became obsolete by OBJECT, which offer and need the same configuration (width, height, overflow). In my opinion IMG should have too. In XHTML 2.0 the function of OBJECT as I/FRAME becomes obsolete by TAG, because you'll be able to give external content to any element. Point well takenit was not my intent to omit the OBJECT tag - thanks for the correction!!!

[WSG] Yahoo Javascript Library - Word of Warning
Sorry for the slightly off topic post but I know a couple of people from the yahoo library read this mailing list and it is tangentially related to web standards as it brings up scary dialog boxes to the user. Weve been using the yahoo libraries throughout our website but noticed that when theyre used on a particular secure (https) page of the website we were getting a page warning (do you want to load non secure elements on this page). A bit of packet sniffing later it turns out that through out the yahoo libraries they are making calls to images hosted externally. It seems the libraries are trying to detect https connections but in this case are failing, causing the warning. They could be doing this to cache images between sites using the YUI libraries, however if youre the paranoid type then they could be using it to track usage / visitors to your site. Either way its quite interesting and if you are trying to track down the elusive secure and non-secure warning message then this could be it. -- Samuel Richardson 0405 472 748 - [EMAIL PROTECTED] ***List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfmUnsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfmHelp: [EMAIL PROTECTED]***
Re: [WSG] CSS flyout menu
From: David Dorward Submenus lack keyboard access That could be desirable if the site is engineered in a certain way. and menus vanish unless the mouse is dragged diagonally to the submenu item instead of along and then down. That makes the menu totally unusable, in my opinion. Tis the Achilles heel of pure CSS menus. -- 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. *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ***

So the question comes back to usability (and maybe aesthetics): wouldn't it be more user-friendly to always make the primary navigation available to users, no matter what part of the page they are looking at? Interesting concept Andreas. Your idea has already been realized to a degree in Opera. Opera has a navigation bar that users can turn on or off. It sits across the top of a page, and is populated by LINK elements in the HEAD section of a document. The navigation is limited to predefined keywords, like Home, Index, Search, Glossary, Help, Previous ... You may also be interested in PPK's revamped site. See for example the Blogs page, and activate the show site navigation link on the left.
