[WSG] valid flash?

OK, I'm getting a bit confused and I need help from someone with a clear head! I've been comparing the method of getting valid flash suggested by Simon Jessey with that suggested by Bert Doorn. You can see a simple test page of the two, running side by side, at

G'day OK, I'm getting a bit confused and I need help from someone with a clear head! I haven't got one of those - it's full of grey matter (some of it sticking out ;-) However... What surprises me is that the non flash content in the Jessey example works when it's not IE you are

RE: [WSG] the mysteries of float - i seek enlightenment

I've received a couple of good suggestions... thanks! The easiest fix appears to be (as Ricci suggested) to put the pull-quote first, before all of the other items. That bugs me on a semantics basis, though, since I consider the pull-quote as part of the content... also, it might be impractical

[WSG] Can we 'font-size-adjust' anything anywhere?

Font-size is still an issue, even if we agree to disagree about most of it. :-) The 'font-size' vs. 'font-family' can, and do, create some really wild results across the web, and 'font-size-adjust' doesn't seem to work anywhere -- or does it? (Opera 8 - CSS - font-size-adjust = not implemented)
