[WSG] Are we turning the tide?

Derek recently said: Perhaps we are doing a pretty darn good job. Sadly though, we are not in the majority. And therein lies the difficulty. When we talk about we doing a pretty darn good job, we're talking about - what - maybe 5% of web professionals worldwide? More, less? I'm not sure but

RE: [WSG] Flash is more accessible than CSS?

Thanks for your input, Peter, I found that very useful. I would certainly agree with your comment: Its all about the audience! And in the case of the e-learning site you linked to (nice work, by the way, the web designers top tips are especially good) Flash is definitely the way to go. I know

RE: [WSG] Flash is more accessible than CSS?

I'd certainly add my name to a list. The thing I wondered about is if there are any BBC developers on this list. They have one of the most popular sites on the web and presumably some pretty hot web talent working for them. Does anyone know of the actual bbc.co.uk web team? They may have an

I love this quote: The blind have more access to information than they ever had in history - but that's only true to the extent that Web accessibility is maintained, Danielsen said. The technology is out there, and we don't need barriers to be put in our way. Give us a way in. If that's not a

RE: [WSG] Pure CSS dropdown Menu, take II

I'm fine with people using this solution to develop web sites they're paid for. What I don't want to see is people packaging the menu to resell it or to include it in commercial web templates. Thanks Thierry, that's generous of you. One thing I'd like to ask (and I admit this may be

[WSG] .net standards (Was: The usability of a frame-style layout)

3. If users click before page fully loaded, they get a event validation exception (bug in .NET framework 2.0) Just one of the many things I shudder at the thought of in .net (Javascript to handle every click? Well, I suppose it is behavioural...) However, it seems more and more places are

Global centralised Javascript libraries (was: [WSG] target=_blank)

I don't think it's such a good idea. For one thing you're relying on the network connections being good enough to the repository that holds the JS files to make the site respond quickly. If the JS repository doesn't respond, or is slow, that could be your entire web application screwed. In the

RE: [WSG] Tracking print.css to detemine printed pages

While on the surface that looks like a good solution, you have to remember that by default browsers won't print any backgrounds (colors or images) so the image you set as a background in the print.css file may never get loaded. Testing is certainly required as that info is scraped from the dusty

[WSG] Styling parent link where child is not an image

Hi, I've got a bit of a problem. And my CSS isn't working either ;0) Basically I want to style links with little icons (an envelope for email links, earth icon for web links, download icon for downloadable documents etc) but am getting into trouble where the child of the link is just an image,

RE: [WSG] Safari and table row id

You could use a bit of JavaScript to detect on page load whether the URL has a hash (#) and then force the jump to there (something like http://www.brandspankingnew.net/specials/anchorjump/anchorjump_01.html). That might sort the Safari won't jump to anchors on page load problem. However it sounds
