Re: [WSG] site check - almost ready for prime time

Stuart, I did as you suggested. I now have another bi-lingual site to do and was wondering if there is a way to mark up for languages (Italian/English) something like: nome/name span class perhaps? Seems like it would add a lot of bytes to the page. The declared language on the document wi

Hi, I think Dreamweaver is complaining about using the same link text to point to different URLs not the other way round (It is OK to use different link text to point to the same URL). In your menu you have: rss feed Below you have another link to a different URL (http://www.fifeweb.org/feed/fi

Stuart, Your menu has links with the same anchor text but different destinations - "introduction", "current" and "members". When you can see the menu structure the context is obvious but when using a screen reader this can be confusing. OK. I've fixed them all but one and I'm at a loss t

Hi, Since Bob was effectively asking for a peer review of his web design prior to publication, I would have thought this was an entirely legitimate use of this forum. We can all learn new techniques from each other as part of this process, with the result that we all increase the quality of our W

Philip, It looks like the site may have problems displaying at widths of less than 1000px in Opera 9 and Firefox. The backgrounds don't stay within the three columns properly, leaving some text unreadable. Probably an issue with div positioning, and the box model since the problem doesn't

In my primary style sheet I got 29 warnings like this: Same colors for color and background-color in two contexts .month and h5 As there are no h5's with a .month class anywhere in the site, I would assume I can just ignore these types of warnings, but it bugs me that the style sheet does no

I ran my style sheets through the w3 validator and in the style sheet that comes with ThickBox I got the following errors. They seem to me to be CSS hacks that the author has used to solve problems with different browsers. Should I leave them, or fix them? #TB_overlay Parse Error - opacity

Re: [WSG] site check - almost ready for prime time

Nick, As no screenreaders read title attributes by default (and no screenreader user ever changes the default setting, apparently) you aren't really deriving any benefit (at least in accessibility terms) from the title attributes, so they might as well go. They were originally put there

Bob - I was wondering about the width of the #wrappers- 980px/960px which causes horizontal scrolling if viewed on a smaller screen resolution such as 800 x 600. I have always tried to avoid horizontal scolling sometimes with great difficulty - does it not matter so much now that many people a
