How else would I accurately display Lachlan's example below without . I 
don't agree that  is the answer because this may well force the 
page into breaking due to width. Pre is pretty powerful and can break a layout 
very quickly if something unexpected is forced into it.


For plain-text e-mails which are sent by behaving mail clients with 
lines wrapped between 72 and 80 characters (preferably with 
format=flowed set as well), then pre is perfectly safe.  Although, 
unfortunately, because not all mail clients are well behaved (in fact, 
some are broken beyond belief), I agree it can be problematic in some cases.


However, there are various solutions you could try.

---

1. Process the e-mail before it's output so that line breaks are 
automatically inserted into long lines, being careful not to break lines 
wrongly, such as a really long URI, for example.


In other words, process it according to the algorithm in section 4.1 of 
RFC 3676 and then wrap lines as though you were outputting to a viewport 
80 characters wide.  You could even markup things like the signature, 
quoted text, etc. and render them in different colours, add excerpt bars 
to the quotes, etc.


If format=flowed isn't specified, then you could either process it 
according to the same algorithm and just hope it doesn't break anything, 
or just assume the lines would be wrapped relatively short already 
(which, in my experience, is usually the case) and output as-is.


---

2. Take the approach that the W3C have with their mailing list archives.
http://www.w3.org/StyleSheets/Mail/message.css

pre {
  white-space: pre-wrap;   /* css-3 */
  white-space: -moz-pre-wrap;  /* Mozilla, since 1999 */
  white-space: -pre-wrap;  /* Opera 4-6 */
  white-space: -o-pre-wrap;/* Opera 7 */
  word-wrap: break-word;   /* Internet Explorer 5.5+; makes the CSS 
invalid :( */

 }

This is an example of an e-mail sent by a mail client that isn't 
well-behaved.

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2006Jan/
(take a look at the source and notice how there are extremely long lines 
in there that should have been wrapped by the sender's mail client, but 
weren't)


Of all the Windows and Mac browsers I tested, OmniWeb is the only one 
that didn't wrap the text and Safari did something strange by wrapping 
it anywhere in the line, not just whitespace (and other allowed 
line-breaking points), but it was still readable.


---

There may even be other solutions I haven't thought of.  #2 would be the 
easiest to implement, but suffers from some browser limitations.  #1 is 
more difficult, but doesn't suffer from any browser limitations because 
the line wrapping is done server side.


But, one thing I'm sure of is that  is the most semantically 
correct choice for marking up plain-text formatted e-mails.  It also 
defaults to a monospace font, which really should be used for plain-text 
e-mails and solves the problems with multiple consecutive spaces, often 
used for indentation.


Take the e-mail you linked to in the archive above.  I used spaces to 
indent the markup in the street address markup, yet it does not appear 
indented in the archive.  That's particularly important for mailing 
lists like this where markup examples are quite common and indentation 
increases readability, which is currently lost in the archive pages.

Nope. Only, I'd add that there are existing apps out there that will
fall into various server-side languages to do intelligent replacement
of linebreaks -> paragraphs, smart quotes, etc. KSES, used by
WordPress (or at least it used to be) is one such for the PHP langauge
( http://sourceforge.net/projects/kses ) -- and I'm sure there are
others. I don't think we should excuse server-side pages in that
respect altogether, but generally agree with your sentiment.

Re: Tabluar forms WAS: Re: [WSG] the correct use.

2006-01-13 Thread Joshua Street
Yep, the fieldset is an appropriate way of grouping, but doesn't (so
far as I'm aware) allow for the kind of visual styling that is
required (by designers who don't think in terms of markup) for some
forms.


Excuse the following ASCII art:
 
| Please select  |   |
| yes or no from | X Yes |
| the adjacent   | X No  |
| radio buttons  |   |
 

That's obviously different from
Name: , which
could be styled as

 
| Name:   [INPUT]|
 

without too much difficulty.

If you're following the ASCII (try pasting into Notepad if you have a
webmail client that doesn't like fixed-width text!), the text is
aligning but floating off to the side: fairly easy with a label, as it
may contain the input field, but harder with
notoriously-difficult-to-style fieldset elements containing multiple
options -- because, as you rightly say, it is not only impossible, but
also illogical for a label element to contain two input fields --, as
with the radio buttons example.

Tables simplify the whole procedure remarkably, I'm just wary of using
a table anywhere that it's impossible to use , which seems a
fair benchmark of what is most definitely a table. Maybe not... your
example's use of the scope attribute makes it all seem remarkably
sensible!

That's one of those debatable subjects...mostly comes down to your

and forms.

You've lost me there. Do you mean in general, or when using a table to
lay out a form? In general, the correct markup would be along the lines of:


What's your favourite colour?


black


white


or variations where you can, for instance, wrap the input inside the 
label itself...but, for "belt and braces", also keep the label's for 
attribute and the input's id in there:


id="colour_black" value="black" /> black


A label can't be associated with more than one form control (though a 
form control may be targetted by separate, discrete label elements, all 
with the same for attribute pointing at the form control's id).

This one has always confused me. There is a linear relationship
between a field's label and the field proper, yes, but how does one
mark that up as a table? SHOULD that be marked up as a table?

I consider, in that case,  to be mostly adequate, but
there are situations where it is not (for example, where is the
semantic sense in associating one label with two fields, as is the
case wherever input type="radio" is used). Recently, I've used a
definition list (as this defines a relationship between two items
better than most other element combinations could), but it feels
hackish and is horrendously difficult to style consistently.

Because I was trying to style it to appear as a table would.

If I were to style it as a table, then I'd consider the key to be
, and the value to be ... but of course, this doesn't work
terribly well.

Has anyone created (or does anyone know of) a resource that explains
the relationship between/best practices for forms/tables?

It's important not to get confused, nor put weight into such statements, 
they're usually either stated too broadly just plain wrong.   can be 
used for explicit line breaks in text where it is semantically relevant, 
but it should not be used, for example, to increase vertical whitespace

The common usage to separate paragraphs like this is wrong:


paragraph 1

Using a class name to describe presentation is no better than using

This is one of those points we'll never all agree on but love to 
argue.  Personally I think the use of BR to separate address lines is 
problematic, is functioning as a presentational element, and should 
Most Properly be replaced by 
individually tagged elements.


This becomes most clear when presenting addresses from a variety of nations:

name
address
city  province
postal code
or:
name
address
city  province  postal code
or:
name
address
county
city  postal code
or:
name
address
city  county  postal code
or:
name
address
postal code  city  province
or:
name
address
postal code  city
province
or:
province
postal code  city
address
name

It's not merely where the lines break but also the sequence of 
address elements that varies from place to place, clarifying the fact 
that an address is an ordered sequence of semantically unique 
elements and isn't just some kind of postal blank verse.


I suspect that most of us who still mark up addresses with BR tags do 
so because we feel silly adding so much bloody markup to what's 
ordinarily a very spare text block.

If the pages must be static then you only have two options that I can

1) Use a "current" class (or id) on the navigation element that
corresponds to the current page (something that you already said you

Thank you Christian and Kenny,

Just one clarification,

Kenny Wrote "In these cases
(especially poems), the line break is important to the content itself,
not just how you would like it to be displayed."

so everything can be argued to be correct semantical use of the -tag, if 
we claim it to carrie meaning?


in the sence that in address example,  the meaning a Br-tag would carrie 
could instead be carried by commas or seperate p tags, which would be more 
correct and should be used?


the poem example is interesting, (arts meet logic), then it becomes even 
more fuzzy,

(the poem would also allow the use of invisible text to do the job)

But got I working with CSS.  (thank you)

It seems to me, the solution, like you say Kenny,  is to avoid all use of 
the br tag in all but the poem case.?

br can be used in both cases.

The semantic issues are that the br tag possesses no semantics at all.
It doesn't mean anything, and so it is purely presentational markup.

The only places I use br are:

- in forms, where you need a line break always between labels and inputs
- after floated divs so you can apply "clear:both" to force the divs
to be contained

Neither of these are similar to your examples. I think if you find
yourself using br's inside paragraphs, then you probably need to
rethink the semantics of the text. Maybe you should make two
paragraphs, or wrap the text in < pre > if it is preformatted, like a
poem.

Outside of paragraphs you can use margins in css to add more whitespace.

[WSG] the correct use.

2006-01-13 Thread denAnden.dk
Hallo sweet people. 

a question; 


what is the correct use of the br-tag?

is it permitted inside p-tags to break lines?
is it recomended outside p-tags for extra lineshifts?

what are the semantical issues with the br-tag?


Thank you,  in advance,

No change to the CSS.  This has me baffled as I had already tried resaving
all the images but I don't really have the time to figure it all out - I'm
just thanking the web design gods that it all worked out and going about my
merry way.  ;o)

Re: [WSG] semantic way to use subscript or superscript

Thank you.

I also remember a post saying not to use the two elements but it

In my opinion, sub and sup have a primarily visual/presentational 
nature, rather than a semantic one. I'm still puzzled as to why they're 
still included in the specs, which does nothing to clarify the *meaning* 
of superscript and subscript...only their visual rendering.

http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/struct/text.html#h-9.2.3

Even the three examples given are flawed, IMHO: the first two should 
arguably not be marked up in HTML at all, but via a more appropriate 
(though admittedly not universally supported) one like CML and MathML, 
respectively; the third is also just a matter of presentation, and could 
possibly be marked up a lot better via


Mlle (with an 
appropriate style defined for the span to make it visually render as 
superscript).


It's the same as bold and italic still being included in the spec...

Worst case -- do an  +  and paste into Photoshop.  Or,

What server side language do you have support for? Creating navigation
like the php example and including it with your pages is the best way to
achieve what you want.

If you don't have PHP, then you will probably at least have SSI as part of
the server. Let us know and we can proced from there.

I second trying Illustrator first, Photoshop next. Recent versions of

Photoshop has a pdf import dialog box that allows you to decide on  the

They do have their place on the web, but they're certainly not for

What do you do in a situation like this? I need them for the design, menu

I've recieved the wrong file format from clients previously, it usually 
just takes a quick e-mail to get the right ones from them.  Just ask for 
the original image files, they should have them in a format like 
suitable for Photoshop, Fireworks, CorelDraw, GIMP, or whatever app they 
used to create them.

Re: [WSG] pdf graphics

2006-01-13 Thread Joshua Street
Well, if Photoshop won't open them, the GIMP certainly can. Then it's
just cutting it apart like you would had you received any other flat
file, I suppose! Of course, if you need backgrounds then a kindly
worded email to the client requesting the source file with layers,
etc., would probably be the best move.

I've had designers send me flat files all the time, because they think
that web design is just a matter of duplicating what they've created,
like we were printers or something ;-).
More often than not it's a misconception stemming from exposure to
'professional' graphics applications' "web export"/splice tools.

[WSG] pdf graphics

2006-01-13 Thread Bruce
Hi all,

I was pleased recently to get a rather large project. It was also nice that
they were sending the graphics for the site design.
Today I got them, in pdf format!
Now, perhaps I live on another planet, or a rank amature, but in the last
ten years online I have known no-one who uses pdf for graphics.
I have no clue what to do with them, especially after client stating the
time he put into making them.
I wish all pdf files would get lost, feel they have no place on the web.
I really hope that standards aren't moving in this direction!!!

What do you do in a situation like this? I need them for the design, menu
items and backgrounds...
