Re: [WSG] Compliant pop ups
Does this help any? http://www.accessify.com/tools-and-wizards/ Look for the link for the pop-up window generator.

If you want a way without Javascript, then no it isn't. This is within the spirit of web standards - why should you decide for the user where they want the page to open? It is possible to include javascript so that a page can have a pop-up link and validate (as an alternative to target) but that doesn't make it compliant. Well, yes it does. *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *** _ Windows Live Messenger has arrived.

Re: [WSG] Flash is more accessible than CSS?
Tony I think you have hit the nail on the head - there seems to be an agenda here that the reporter on the BBC site has failed to pick up on.

My subject was a question, because I felt that the article made it appear that using CSS was inappropriate and difficult to use for accessibility but Flash held the answers to accessibility issues. Website designer, Leonie Watson says: There's a technology called Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) that allows you to control the way a page is displayed, such as the colour of the text and background. However, that's quite a new technology, it's only been around a couple of years, and a lot of designers are still very wary of using it. They actually hard code the colours into the web page itself, which means that they can't be overridden by your browser, or OS. if you were a web designer and you read the article, would you be more inclined to use Flash or CSS? when I read more about Leonie Watson (head of accessibility at Nomensa) I find that she probably has a vested interest in promoting Flash as an accessibility tool. http://www.nomensa.com/web_design.html Web Design : Nomensa - Humanising Technology It's what they prefer to use to design sites. so the reporter of the article has, in my opinion, presented an unbalanced and one sided view of how to make accessible web sites. ;o) *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *** _ Windows Live Messenger has arrived.

Re: [WSG] Relative positioning and Netscape 6
I have to agree on that. Netscape 6 - unless you hgave a strangely high number of visitors using that browser - is not worth bothering about. Alex From: Nick Cowie [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: wsg@webstandardsgroup.org To: wsg@webstandardsgroup.org Subject: Re: [WSG] Relative positioning and Netscape 6 Date: Mon, 16 Oct 2006 10:32:04 +0800 The first question I would ask is why are you worrying about Netscape 6? And which version 6, 6.1 and 6.2, as they are all different? It was a commercial decision to release Netscape 6 and they all based on prerelease versions of Mozilla 0.9.x. So unless Netscape 6 shows up in your site stats, I would ignore the problem and concentrate on get the site right in the browsers your visitors use. -- Nick Cowie http://nickcowie.com *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *** _ Be the first to hear what's new at MSN - sign up to our free newsletters! http://www.msn.co.uk/newsletters *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ***

Subject: [WSG] testing for mobile browsers
Date: Tue, 12 Sep 2006 11:56:15 +1000
I'd be interested in hearing how people are approaching the testing of
sites for mobile devices.
I've tried:
- Opera's 'Small screen' view (probably a bit flattering for the average
site)
- the Opera Mini java simulator (flaky, clumsy, slow - I hate java apps!)
and have yet to try
- browsing via GPRS ('coz it's so darned expensive on my plan)
- browsing on a wifi enable mobile ('coz I don't have one)
any thoughts, comparisons, other options...
