[WSG] Can you spare 5 minutes to do a study?

[Jessica Enders]

Formulate Information Design is conducting a follow-up to our 2007  
study on data table formatting (the results of which should be  
published in A List Apart shortly).


We need your help - the more participants we get the greater the  
chance we can draw conclusions from the study that designers and  
developers like you can use.


The study is anonymous and takes less than 5 minutes.

To do the study, visit http://surveys.formulate.com.au/dtfu/, or you  
can read more about the study here: http://formulate.com.au/research/ 
data-tables-follow-up/.


Please pass on to as many people as you like.

With thanks,

RE: [WSG] animated scroll

[Ted Drake]

Ah, where's your sense of adventure?
Certainly hundreds of javascripts for 1 pound means quality.

It reminds me of a night with two super-gigantic pizzas for $2.99.
They may not have been good, but I didn't forget about eating them for
months.

Given the liberties they take with O'Riley's trademark (
http://www.quidascript.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=4&products
_id=13 
  ), the sheer pain of "On the loading of a page, this script changes

in-outside-ieness of "Have your visitors easily bookmark your site  
into their browser favorites" ... I would avoid this. It might be  
cheap, but any reward for producing something of that quality would be  
too much.

R: [WSG] Semantic menu implementation suggestions?

[Diego La Monica]

Furthermore, to make your life really easy now, you have to do only a
cut&paste of the code shown on the following page:


 

- Full xhtml compliat, 

- works with: firefox 2.0, Safari for Windows, Internet Explorer 7 and
Opera.

 

Maybe it will be a good starting point.

Hi Richard,

  you can try to make it with something like this:

 



Back home

RSS

Site map





   Search:

   

   







 

And apply the style by CSS. How? Each black-menu will have a black
background, each li item will have the circular black image with each symbol
and the input[type=image] will have the Submit image.

 

Hoping the suggestions will be useful to you.

 

Best regards!

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

[michael.brockington]

If I may be permitted to be pedantic for a moment, I believe that
JavaScript may be used to provide "Assistance with Validation" (So you
are both correct...)

"Security" can only ever be _reliably_ provided on the server side, but
"validation of user input" is perfectly acceptable as client side code,
with or without server side follow up, as long as the server can
tolerate the effects of that validation not being carried out.

As with all religious wars, the key to peace is understanding of the
actual messages, not just blind repetition of slogans.

Regards,
Mike

RE: [WSG] An efficient CSS architecture

[Ted Drake]

The Yahoo YUI CSS framework is a big help. http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/
 The Reset, base, and fonts give you a good foundation. The grids make it
super easy to build layouts. Combine all four into a single css file:
http://yui.yahooapis.com/2.5.1/build/reset-fonts-grids/reset-fonts-grids.css

And you've got some good performance. The above link means Yahoo handles the
distributed caching for you.

This means you only have to concentrate on what makes your sites unique.
You'll be surprised how lean and efficient your final css markup is when you
remove the foundation cruft.

Subject: Re: [WSG] An efficient CSS architecture

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
