Re: [WSG] Standards Compliant PHP Output
Hi,
Revisiting this exercise with the hopes of completing a tutorial, the
desired output is generated, but running into problems placing the
proper standards table elements, theadtbody etc. Would you or
someone assist with adding the needed elements required for passing
validation with the table?
http://bushidodeep.com/exercises/xmlphp/groceries/groceries.xml
?php
//set the XML fike name as a php string
$myGroceryList=groceries.xml;
//load the XML file
[EMAIL PROTECTED]($myGroceryList) or die (no file loaded);
//assign the listName element to a string
$nameOfMyShoppingList = $xml-listName;
echo h1List: . $nameOfMyShoppingList . /h1;
/*create a loop that will take each foodGroup element,
display its name, and then list each of the items’ names and
quantities.*/
foreach ($xml-foodGroup as $foodGroup){
echo h2Food group name is . $foodGroup-groupName . /h2;
foreach ($foodGroup-item as $foodItem){
echo 'table border=1 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0
thead
tr
tdItem:/tdtd' . $foodItem-name . '/td
/tr
tr
tdQuantity:/tdtd' . $foodItem-howMuch . '/td
/tr
/tablep/p';
}
}

Re: [WSG] Standards Table Layout
Hi, Perhaps I was vague. I need examples of good CSS/Table designs.

It is the misconception tables provide greater browser compatibility, the client supports IE 5.X for MAC OS. Actually, I think table-based layout DOES provide cross-browser consistency as your client maintains. The argument against tables for layout isn't that they don't render consistently cross-browser but that they don't fit non-tabular data semantically, they can obfuscate content for non-visual readers, their layouts are rigid and unresizable, and, because they hard-wire presentation in the HTML markup, they create a site-maintenance boondoggle down the road. Even if your client doesn't care about semantics and is insensitive to the needs of the visually impaired, you might be able to persuade them that their long-term website expenses will be reduced significantly if they let you separate content from presentation today. Unfortunately for your argument, your client's short-term web development expenses might be less if you use tables, unless you've already become good enough at CSS layout that you can whip Mac IE 5.x into line without hours of trial error. There are many sites that feature CSS layout examples. To know which ones can replace tables effectively for this project you'll need to define your layout goals. Which aspects of table-based layout does your client consider important? A list of those attributes will help point you to the appropriate CSS layout techniques that will satisfy you both.

Does this pose an issue, as the text will be tamed, keeping the design above the fold. Also, the naming convention in the CSS, could it be more succinct? http://working.bushidodeep.com/spring_2006/ index_footerNav.phphttp://working.bushidodeep.com/spring_2006/ index_footerNav.php I like the overall layout graphic treatment. With content this spare, the bottom placement of the nav menu doesn't seem vital for usability. However, as I zoom larger in Firefox, the content cell grows vertically but not horizontally so the nav/footer sails downward and off the screen, and the nav menu text expands outside its fixed- width container. Why not size your containers in ems and allow the layout to grow with a more consistent aspect ratio? It would mean an expandable frame for your content, slicing it into pieces to enable it to grow horizontally and not just vertically, which would in turn mean a slightly more complicated markup. I think enlarging the over all design would prove advantageous Enlarging the font like that also makes it clear that the apparent centering of the nav menu in its box is spoofed; it only looks centered at a certain (normal) font size. I'd try for true centering so that it doesn't uglify. With everything else centered, your subcontent menu looks mistakenly off-center. Also, its text/background color contrast would probably fail WAI standards. If it's your intention to obscure it or minimize its importance, why put it first in the markup and layout? It was meant to be right aligned, and should switch places with the main_nav in the mark-up With regard to the succinctness of your markup CSS, do you really need the div#header around your h1? All you're doing with it is positioning it relative, which I'd think you could do with the h1 itself. Also I'd see if I could remove the divs from around the two menus.

You may as well add them all into the common stylesheet for that layout. Just test a bit. Also, no need to create a new style-element in the head for such page-specific styles. They can all follow the @import rule in one and the same style-element.

Re: [WSG] Is there a Javascript issue in Safari?
Safari does not like the JS psudo protocol.
(javascript:newWindowMinorSwing())

Hello All,
I have this simple javascript in the head of a page:
!--
function newWindowMinorSwing()
{
window.open
('minor_swing.html','jav','width=550,height=360,resizable=yes');
}
//--
In the body, I have this:
a href=javascript:newWindowMinorSwing()CLICK TO WATCH QUICKTIME
(5.5 MB)/abr /
The doc is XHTML Transitional.
The function works fine in Firefox (on Mac) and IE 5.2 (Mac) but
not Safari--no popups. (Popup blocker is not on)
I must be overlooking something obvious...any ideas?
Thanks,
Fred

When you say text resizing, do you mean a liquid layout?

Re: [WSG] Safari Javascript prob?
2.0.3 Both Safari versions, for me, have failed various implementations of the pseudo-protocol used to pop-up windows.

Re: [WSG] Menu Out Of Place in IE 6
Thanks,
However the following rule caused the navigation on other pages to
shift to the bottom of the column. I'm suspecting removing the news
column such as found on:
(http://working.bushidodeep.com/tacticalware/index.html) causes the
problem on the pages without. What do you think?
Return True,

[WSG] getting an a
Hi,
Hope I don't have cooties (an imaginary bug that as children, we
would avoid the person with) :)
The following rule has failed to reach the desired a in the following
dl#contact dt#email dd a {border: 1px solid black}
h1Contact us/h1
dl id=contact
dt id=techTech Support Issues:/dt
dda href=./support.html title=Link To Support
PageSupport Options/a/dd
dt id=emailEmail:/dt
dda href=#Chuck/a/dd
dda href=#Ramblin'/a/dd
dt id=teleTelephone:/dt
ddCall Tacticalware:/dd
dt id=snailSnail Mail:/dt
ddaddressTacticalware Computer/address/dd
/dl
What have I missed in drilling down to the dda

Re: [WSG] getting an a
Hi,
So given that fact to get to the desired a I should use:
dl#contact dd.email a { margin: 0 0 -2em 0; border:1px solid black}
...
dd class=emaila href=#Chuck/a/dd
dd class=emaila href=#Ramblin'/a/dd
.

I know that one!
dd is a sibling of dt, not a child, so try:
dl#contact dd a {border: 1px solid black}

Re: [WSG] Site Check[tacticalware.net]-mailto issue
Thanks, We share similar reservations. Is the following a more usable solution? dd class=emaila href=mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]Chuck at tacticalware.net/a/dd dd class=emaila href=mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]Ramblin at tacticalware.net/ a/dd Or should the mailto: go altogether?

Re: [WSG] IE 6.0.2 Menu Issue
Hi,
The padding and margins are consistent:
div#navigation{float:left;width:150px; line-height: 2em; margin-
left:-700px }
div#navigation li a {font-weight: bold; height: 32px; voice-family:
\}\; voice-family: inherit; height: 24px; text-decoration: none}
div#navigation ul {list-style-type: none; margin: 0; padding: 0; text-
transform:uppercase}
div#navigation li a:link, #menu li a:visited {color: #330; display:
block; background: url(i/menu1.gif); padding: 0 0 0 10px}
div#navigation li a:hover, div#navigation a#current {color: #990;
background: url(i/menu1.gif) 0 -24px; padding: 0 0 0 10px}
div#navigation li a:active{color: #689}
Any additional suggestions are appreciated.

The anomaly is text moving all over the place on mouseover (all

Start with getting your page to validate correctly firstly.
I'll guess the issue is caused by mis-matching padding or margins
between the link states.
