Re: [WSG] :: Footer not resting at bottom of page ::

[Matijs]

The (imho) best way to do this is by using the Man in Blue's FooterStickAlt:

RE: [WSG] :: Footer not resting at bottom of page ::

[Pablo E. Cordero C.]

I use the following when I need to push the footer to the bottom.

 

http://matthewjamestaylor.com/blog/keeping-footers-at-the-bottom-of-the-page

 

It’s very well documented and works pretty well.

 

Cheers!

Hi Amrider,

I would suggest adding another  around 
...  with a min-height of 100%:

div#wrapper {
min-height: 100%;
}

This should keep the footer at the bottom of the page on short pages.

Re: [WSG] accessible client side form validation

[Christian Snodgrass]

You may want to try out one I created: 
http://www.arwebdesign.net/systems/ValidInputImages


It's primary function is to place a image after the object that 
indicates whether it is valid or invalid. It also has an alt tag that 
says so as well. The only requirement is that each element is wrapped in 
something that can handle an img, because it appends a new image. So, 
you could mark it up like this:



or (as I've done in my examples because it's easier to apply CSS like this)



It checks each element after each element has been changed.

Mine isn't quite as easy as Matt's, because it requires that you call a 
function for each input, and there aren't lots of regexes predefined. It 
is light-weight and has been tested on all current major browsers, 
including IE6.


The thing I'm not sure about, and that maybe others will be able to 
assist me with is what happens when the image gets appended or the 
source gets changed. It seems I remember hearing that anytime the source 
is changed, the screen reader jumps to the top again. If so, that's 
something that I need to figure out a good work around for.


Let me know what you think.

Yes, I second it, I implement it on a client's site and was very happy 
with until I found that it has problem in Safari 3.1 (552513) for the 
First Name, Last Name and Phone required fields - I had the fields 
entered correctly, but Safari kept telling me to 'correct the 
highlighted errors'.


It's probably a bug by Safari 3.1 (552513) because I had people tested 
for me in their Safari with different version, and they all worked.


I was forced to remove Matt's script as a result, and have the 
server-side validation.

Completely unobtrusive and requires only valid XHTML. If you have a 
little bit of JS knowledge you can easily extend the functionality.


Cheers,

Re[2]: [WSG] accessible client side form validation

[Alexey Novikov]

Hello, friends.

There is no client side form *validation*.
There is client side form *assistance*.

Validation should be performed on server.

Hmm, why the Republic of JS kept saying it's form validation?

[WSG] An efficient CSS architecture

[Jens-Uwe Korff]

Hi all,

I'm currently in the lucky position to be able to design a CSS
architecture from scratch. I was thinking of creating a layered approach
where I have a CSS layer for

- the CSS reset
- the site layout (structural parts, ie. columns, rows, header, footer)
- the site's elements (boxes which can be reused across pages; a box
might contain images, heading, paragraphs)
- the site's skin (colours, sprites etc.)

I'd like to know if you have been through this thought process and if
you have proven concepts that you would like to share.

(You can email me offline too, but we've got a long weekend here so I'll
contact you Monday.)

Thank you!

Cheers,
 
Jens

Re: [WSG] An efficient CSS architecture

[Karl Lurman]

Jens,

I recommend googling CSS Frameworks.

Also, I recommend looking at a site I implemented a CSS framework of
my own. It sounds very very much like your approach.

http://www.athletics.com.au

It works on the concept of layers that can be used to progressively
enhance the visual appearance of a given HTML document set. Its
actually the base css framework for a content management solution
developed by a company called Datalink here in Melbourne, my previous
job. Being part of a CMS, it has a few additional layers to further
customise the site with respect to customer requirement. Similarly, I
used namespacing to separate styles that are part of the base
framework with styles that are customer specific.

The beauty of the framework is that it is consistent and easy to
learn. The idea being that the framework remained unchanged, and only
theme and customer specifc stylesheets affected the cascade. Another
added benefit was in knowing which sheet a specific style resides in.
This was extremely helpful before the likes of Firebug.

The only real draw back of this approach is the initial page load.
There is an overhead in downloading so many different stylesheets. The
best thing to do in this case is to compile your stylesheets into a
single build. This is the approach we are applying at my current job
here at SitePoint.

Good luck with your own framework! :)

Karl
