[WSG] Standalone IE7
Can anyone recommend the best place to get the latest standalone IE7? I've downloaded it from Evolt and a few other places and it just seems to crash after a couple of clicks. Would appreciate your help. Paul ***List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfmUnsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfmHelp: [EMAIL PROTECTED]***
[WSG] Validate multiple (X)HTML pages
Hi all, anyone know a good site/piece of software you can get to check your whole site for validation errors? Would speed things up instead of having to do them one at a time. Another bonus would be one that accepts password information on protected sites.

Re: [WSG] Validate multiple (X)HTML pages
Hi Phillip. I did try out your Nikita site last week, which is what prompted me to seek out a site where I can get all my pages done at once. I thought the service was great, I would say the two drawbacks were the password thing and the wait for my results. I guess I generally want to get instant results. I am sure these will all be fixed with the full release, I'll be sure to check it out again then.

It can validateyour entire site or just a portion of it, does link checking along theway and at the end presents you with XML and HTML reports that you canview online or offline. It does *not* do password protected sites. Irealize the value of that and I'd like to add that feature at somepoint.Right now it is a free service because it is in alpha test. EventuallyI'll charge money for it and then I seek nothing less than worlddomination. =)Enjoy!-- Philiphttp://NikitaTheSpider.com/Whole-site HTML validation, link checking and more***List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfmUnsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfmHelp: [EMAIL PROTECTED]*** ***List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfmUnsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfmHelp: [EMAIL PROTECTED]***
Re: [WSG] Standalone IE7
Yes Lachlan, I seem to be having the same problem. Not sure why, it could be cause I have several other Browsers open at the same time, however all my other standalones work together. Maybe it's got to do with the version of XP I am running? - Original Message - From: Lachlan Hunt To: wsg@webstandardsgroup.org Sent: Monday, September 25, 2006 2:09 PM Subject: Re: [WSG] Standalone IE7 Patrick Lauke wrote: I've had good results with this http://tredosoft.com/IE7_standaloneI had terrible results with that.

Re: [WSG] Validate multiple (X)HTML pages
Thanks to everyone for your replies. I have our tech manager on the case here to sort out the W3C one locally, in the meantime I will use the WDG one, which seems to work fine, except on password protected sites.

[WSG] XHTML strict maxlength
Hi all, Just having some trouble with validating I keep getting the report this report about the maxlength property: Error Line 69 column 100: there is no attribute "maxlength". ...id="good-turn-description" maxlength="50" title="Tell us about it"//textar. And my line of code is:textarea name="test" cols="40" rows="5" id="description" maxlength="50" title="Tell us about it"//textarea And my doctype is:!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd" As far as I can see, maxlength is a valid XHTML strict attribute, can anyone tell me why this isn't validating?!

Hi Paul,This article explains the reason why - http://www.quirksmode.org/css/quirksmode.htmlYou
could try floating the images to the left or using negative margins - depends
on the design its impacting though. Daz

it throws a lot of designs out where I had been using a line break

does this and a better method of fixing it?

[WSG] Browser stats
Hi all, Just wondered if anyone has a good resource for Browser stats. Currently I've got a few but most get their stats from visitors to the site which can bea bit biased. Currently I've got http://www.upsdell.com/BrowserNews/stat.htm http://www.thecounter.com/stats/2006/July/browser.php Anyone got better?!

Re: [WSG] Browser stats
Thanks for your replies. What you say makes good sense Seb, but it would be nice to know how many people are using certain browsers so when clients ask me what to build for I can justify building for IE5 Mac. I don't know whether to throw in a towel yet or not with it. Yespeople can tell me no-one uses it, it doesn't get supported etc; but I would like to see actual statistics rather than opinions. Cheers Paul - Original Message - From: Seb Frost To: wsg@webstandardsgroup.org Sent: Tuesday, August 01, 2006 5:17 PM Subject: Re: [WSG] Browser stats Fair point, but I'd never release a site that I hadn't tested and made sure worked adequately in IE5+, firefox, opera, safari etc etc anyway. For me the only really interesting browser stat these days is resolution, and even that isn't a huge concern because 90% of the time I just know that I have to make a site that'll be adequate in 800x600. And sure, some sites might require that you get lynx or netscape 4 support spot on, but again, you're more than likely going to know that before you go live, and will test for it.

If users with particular user agents can't use your site or find it difficult to use then they are less likely to return. Your stats will then show a low number for these users. You might conclude that the low number means you don't need to botherfixing the site to caterfor these users but in factthe exact opposite is true.

Then you're guaranteed a relevant sample. If you look at statistics of any other site, no matter what they might claim, you're not getting the information you need! Make the site, put it up, check your stats, make any changes you deem necessary. If it's a design question then go for 800x600 for now, and change later if/when you decide you have enough 1024x768+ users. - seb On 01/08/06, Paul Collins [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi all, Just wondered if anyone has a good resource for Browser stats.
