[WSG] dfn and a: Which Order?

2007-04-25 Thread Mordechai Peller

Semantically, which is better:

dfna/a/dfn

or

adfn/dfn/a

My thoughts are the latter, as the dfn is closer to the word or phrase 
to which it's referring.

I agree that it should be adfntext/dfn/a since the text is 
actually a definition.

In those situations, I always try to reason it out loud to myself...the 
one I had quite often in a recent project was


acite/cite/a vs citea/a/cite

Am I linking a citation, or citing a link? In my case, it was the former.

In your example: is this the defining instance of a link, or are you 
linking a defining instance? I'd think the latter. in your case.

My thoughts paralleled that, though your vocalization would probably 
have saved me some mental effort. Then again, think of all the calories 
those neurons must have burned; I must have lost a whole gram! No wonder 
I was thinner back when I used to spend all day playing chess. :)

Subject: Re: [WSG] Disappearing positioned footer in IE7 - works in IE6

Hi,

IE 7 now supports the *html hack, so the 'position: relative' style is
bein
g
applied. You can still add hacks for IE 6 and/or IE 7 but it's tricky..

If you need to send something to IE6 and nothing else: use the
underscore
attribute hack ( border:1px solid pink;)

If you want to send something to IE7 AND IE6, use the attribute hack
(*border:1px solid black;).

If you want to send something to IE7 and NOT IE6, use a combination
(*border:1px solid black;  border:1px solid pink;).

Try adding an underscore in the IE 6 class...

*html #bottom nav {   /*Enables the footer to be positoned below the
wrapper in IE6*/

 position: relative;

bottom: -75px;

right: 25px;

text-align: right;

width: 100%;

height: 50px;

}

  Hello All -



 I was having an absolutely-positioned footer problem in IE6 which was
 fixed with the following:



 #bottom nav {/*Compliant Browsers*/

 position: absolute;

 bottom: -75px;

 right: 25px;

 text-align: right;

 width: 100%;

 height: 50px;

 }



 *html #bottom nav {   /*Enables the footer to be positoned below
the

 position: relative;

 bottom: -75px;

 right: 25px;

 text-align: right;

 width: 100%;

 height: 50px;

 }



 Yes, well, now that IE 7 has come out the footer ***Poof!*** vanishes
-
 like it did under IE6 previous to the implementation of he above *html
 declaration.



 Could someone give me a lead on what to do about this issue in IE 7?



 Unfortunatly, I am not allowed to use conditional comments to issue
 version specific declarations - which makes problems 

[WSG] commenting javascript in script tags

2007-04-25 Thread Andrew Harris

'morning all,

It is common and often recommended practice to comment javascript
placed in a document.

script type=text/javascript language=javascript
   !--
   myVariable = 'woo';
   // --
/script

The reason cited is that 'very old browsers' that do not understand
the script tag may print the raw code.

How old are we talking? Has anyone ever seen this happen? Can't we
safely leave behind what is essentially a hack?

While I'm on the topic - what about the whole ![CDATA[ ... ]] thing?
Should I be using that? What are the possible consequences of ignoring
it like the vast majority of page authors?

Use external scripts, and you avoid both issues quite elegantly.

Thanks Patrick - I should point out that this question is mostly in
regards to a case where the bulk of the js is an external script. I
just need to occasionally insert a variable relevant to a particular
page. So, abhorrent as it might be, the script snippet has to live in
the head.
