Re: [WSG] Downloading Fonts

2008-12-07 Thread James Ducker
As a general rule you cannot use non-system fonts on the web, as the end
user needs to have them installed as well (I think this is what you're
asking?). One workaround is to use sIFR (
http://www.mikeindustries.com/blog/sifr/ ). Also, here is a list of fonts
that are generally considered to be web safe:

I use Web Developer Kit Toolbar and Firebug in conjunction since they both
have been extremely helpful to me in telling what would the end results

Have you tried the "Web developer toolbar" plugin?  I haven't used Magneto, but 
have found that the "Validate Local HTML" option to be very useful for 
validating pages that are behind https channels.

Re: [WSG] JS patterns

2008-12-07 Thread Jason Grant
My take on JQuery is that it is:

   - Most popular JS library out there
   - Becoming a de-facto standard for cross-browser JS development
   - Something that every serious developer I have met so far is supporting
   and using

Whether it is made part of future browsers or not, it is a skill set well
worth taking up and a library well worth utilising.

Regards,

Jason

RE: [WSG] JS patterns

Hi Tee,

There are no JQuery specific extensions to IE8.

There are general speed and reliability improvements to the JS engine in the
browser, and IDE support for JQuery in Visual Studio, however the support is
not specific to IE+JQuery.


Thanks,

Hi Jason, thanks for the link, and I am a jQuery fan :-)

Something not related to your post but jQuery. As many of you likely  
have known that Microsoft have adapted jQuery framework, and this  
question has been in  my head for a while: does this meant future IE  
(starts from IE8?) will speed up load time for site that uses jQuery?

Thanks for the link, but it goes to 404 page though.  I was at IMB

[WSG] recommendation for wai validator again

2008-12-07 Thread tee

Hi everyone,

I asked this before, and was pointed to many useful Firefox  
extensions. I have tried them all and actually installed Total  
Validator and TAWs on my desktop.  Problem is, none of these  
validators pick up page in the login area and data that are saved in  
sessions/caches (if you have worked on Magento project and have tried  
validate in certain area of the site, you know what I am talking :-) ).


With HTML validation, most validators have "validate by direct input",  
however I have not been able to find the similar feature in the WAI  
validator, so even with desktop validator, I am unable to run the  
validation.

Validators I have tried thus far:

Total Validator,
WebAIM,
TAW,
FAE,
Cynthia Says


Anyone know other validator that does the job?

thanks!

tee
