Re: [WSG] Accessible Map with UL Problem
Yes, you can. You should have tested first. 1. No, you can't. (I love this game) 2. No I had no need to, thank you. But I did; even though the message said: "and the actual map is in the background.", meaning it couldn't be seen without css. If you are trying to say that it is an accesible map because there is a pdf version of it then you are right, that's the fourth? fifth? best option to make that map accessible. But come to think of it, why bother to position an ul and all that stuff, if you can just provide a link to download the pdf; or check your local library; or travel to Tokoriki (I feel compelled to recommend this option). But then, having the map on the page, not through css, wouldn't hurt accessibility a lot. OT: Fourth comment on the page: "Less than 5 minutes from Tokoriki, Magic Mushrooms is a small coral platform reef that rises to within 6m of the surface". Magic Mushrooms? That place guarantees a real trip. *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ***

Re: [WSG] Accessible Map with UL Problem
I wouldn't call the map accessible since you can't access the map without css ;o). I just made a map like yours, I'll explain in case you want to follow. You set a div that will contain an IMG (the map) and an OL, or a DL. The div has to be Relatively Positioned for the next elements to be AP. Then you have an OL with the descriptions, and the titles (inside hn's, spans or whatever suits). A DL with dt's, and dd's might do the trick, but you would have to set the numbers inside the dt content. You then position (absolutely) each (in the case of a dl) dt (through id's) on top of the painted numbers of the jpg, assign onclicks to the dt's (sometimes this is more semantic than anchors), or use anchors. The function on the onclick turns on the dd's, for instance, beside the map. You can clone the dt's, or reposition them on the onclick. If you want to duplicate content, ie: having a list with the titles to link to the title/description pair, consider cloning them through script, they shouldn't be twice on the code; especially when they are so close. What is most important, IMHO, is to preserve the numbers, and legend, should there be one, on the jpg itself, this way if you turn css off you still see the map, and the numbers; and they relate to the numbers on the description list. BTW: I had a map legend, and applied the same technique; the legend was on the jpg and as text on another dl, then I superimposed the list on the part of the jpg that contained the legend. Remember to set the onclicks in an unobtrusive way, not hardcoding them. And it would be nice if you display:none the list through script on the onload, not by default on the css. Blah, blah, blah, I'm boring myself Bye. *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ***

Add a suitable 'hasLayout'[1] trigger so IE gets something "solid" to
position in relation to - like...
#content {height: 100%;}
...and it'll work just fine.
