2005-12-04 Thread ivanovitch
Folks - you've helped out before, and I'm asking again. Pardon if this sounds all too simple, but I've yet to find a solution either in this list's archives, or on the web. I'm trying to create a fluid layout with two columns, but whilst the left column is variable width, the right column

Thanks everyone: it was the float clearing that proved to be the thorn in my side (right side). And the IE-Mac fix is also appreciated. Only one more nut to crack with the site. I'll return for assistance with another right floater if I can't use what I've just learned. Thanks again: a terrific

[WSG] University textbook or other resources?

2005-11-22 Thread ivanovitch
Folks I've been asked if there are useful university-focused textbooks or other resources suitable for teaching accessible web design. So far 'Effective website development' (Darlington) and 'Principles of web site design' (Skalr) have been proposed as possible options. Thoughts?

Tried height adjustments (0, 1, 99%) in Safari, but no dice. It seems as though the padding (needed here) is getting in the way no matter what. I didn't think that the full-width div color would be so tricky. I think that I can work my head around Terence's advice on the text color (Thanks,

[WSG] Safari, select, and option attributes.
