Re: [WSG] web standards training course/events in Sydney?
Leslie, I'm wishing we could have something like that in my neck of the woods... SxSW is on soon, and two of the organizers of Web Essentials are speaking. I'd recommend getting down and organize quickly if you are going to, because hotels fill up!) Maxine Sherrin is speaking with Molly Holzschlag and Eric Meyer on Women on the Web, while I (John Allsopp) am organizing a panel with Dave Shea, Doug Bowman, Jon Hicks and Eris Free on Web design and development in 2010. As to Neerav's comment about price, WE and SxSW are two quite radically different events. SxSW content is largely discussion panels, where several speakers cover a particular subject. Speakers are largely not paid, and people tend to go as much for the networking and socializing as for the content. Web Essentials is all about the content. We focus on bringing out the best speakers in the World, and making sure that the content is focussed, and we want every second to be as valuable, and enjoyable, as possible. I guess its a bit like the big day out being cheaper than seeing U2 (music analogy, sorry for non Aussies). both have their place I'm really looking forward to SxSW, but see it as being a very different thing from Web Essentials and other such conferences.

What about http://2005.sxsw.com/interactive/ ? its 1/2 the price WE04 was! >Established in 1994, the SXSW Interactive Festival consists of four days of panel programming, a Trade Show & >Exhibition, plus a full schedule of exciting evening activities. This is a unique event where top-notch developers, >cutting-edge designers and out-of-the-box thinkers share their inspirations about the future of the web. > >While we cover the how of new technology, SXSW Interactive pays particular attention to discussing the larger >questions such as why did this happen and what are the long-term implications of this innovation.

Re: [WSG] web standards training course/events in Sydney?
Cade, Anybody know of any good training course or events that are being held in Sydney (or the other capital cities) this year on web standards/best practice web design/usability etc - other than the regular wsg meetings? (For budgetary purposes, I need to identify any that I want to attend now, rather than later.) Web Essentials will definitely be on again. Russ, Peter Maxine and I are working hard to put together an even better event this year. There will be an announcement reasonably soon, but if you thought last year was good... Same time frame as last year too, Toward the end of September. john John Allsopp :: westciv :: http://www.westciv.com/ software, courses, resources for a standards based web :: style master blog :: http://westciv.typepad.com/dog_or_higher/ ** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help **

Re: [WSG] IE fixed: PNG transparency working like Firefox???
I rather use
#logo {
background: url('img/logo.png') no-repeat;
...
}
* html #logo {
background: none;
filter:
progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader(src='img/logo.png',sizingMethod='scale');
}
or better put the IE junk in css linked by conditional comments.

Re: [WSG] IE fixed: PNG transparency working like Firefox???
There is no need to use JavaScript for PNG in IE. I am using empty GIF
and CSS like this:
#CaptionImage img {
background: url(i/title.png);
background: expression('none');
filter:
progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader(src='i/title.png',
sizingMethod='crop');
height: 115px;
width: 400px;
}
It works everywhere.
