Re: [WSG] Ecomm using Paypal
I am working on a very bad implementation of a site. My job is to improve it for the timebeing, while we are developing a new standard site. Now the issue is with the payment system with the Paypal. I need to put in shipping cost for the products bought from here.. http://www.netcomm.com.au/products/voip/v35?SQ_PAINT_LAYOUT_NAME=runout&SQ_DESIGN_NAME=runout the hidden value says name="no_shipping"/>, where can i find the right list of the attributes.. as i did try but didnt work. Sounds like you sent this to the wrong mailing list? It doesn't sound like a web standards related question.

The site appears to have been generated from a package or template. I'm guessing that this was MySource Matrix, but I don't see any info on PayPal integration on their site. Do you have the original application or documentation? If so, you might contact them or PayPal. As this is for no_shipping, have you tried putting in value="0"? -Original Message- From: li...@webstandardsgroup.org [mailto:li...@webstandardsgroup.org] On Behalf Of Nick Lo Sent: Sunday, June 21, 2009 10:36 AM To: wsg@webstandardsgroup.org Subject: Re: [WSG] Ecomm using Paypal > I am working on a very bad implementation of a site.

[WSG] web page and style sheet problems still
hi. put the - and did not have sans-serif, but had sanserif. and now what is the correct colour code. internet explorer 8. not reading properly with jaws 10. so might have to contact freedom scientific and see what they have to say about this. and not detecting the table on the front page, even though i have it there. so wonder if it could be a internet explorer 8 issue. post this to the list as well. cheers Marvin.

Hey Marvin, >From what I've always learned, it's best to make the table a bit more explicit including tbody, tfoot and thead tags. You can also define colgroups. What do you mean when you say that Internet Explorer 8 + Jaws doesn't see your table?

Hi Marvin - I'm going to assume that you are running Windows. If this is the case then it is *highly* unlikely that you don't have at least arial from that list. The other thing to bear in mind is that 'sans- serif' is not a font but is a style or family of fonts that share a particular look (they don't have 'serifs' which are little flicks at the end of letter forms). I haven't seen your actual code but if your HTML is correctly pointing to a CSS file and your CSS is using a valid font declaration then it should work. If it doesn't then there may be something up with your operating system thinking that fonts are in a different place to where they really are or maybe something up with your Jaws setup. When you specify fonts with CSS the usual pattern is to list your fonts in the order that you prefer. Each one is a fallback position if the prior one doesn't exist on the system. Normally the last one in the list is 'sans-serif' (or 'serif' etc.). This is essentially saying that if you don't have *any* of the listed fonts on the system then use whatever is the default 'sans-serif' font. I hope that helps.

Re: [WSG] website fonts
Adding to what Tim said, It's possible that you're experiencing problems with Helvetica just because of a typo (you had written Helvitica). Also, it does not come with Windows Vista or Microsoft Office. Hope this helps!

[WSG] Questions about browser renderings (CSS 2.1)
Hello, I'm hoping that some of you experts can answer three questions about browser renderings of certain elements. Question 1 -- I'm developing a page with a liquid layout that adapts to displays of various sizes; the page can be viewed at www.baileyandireland.com. The page renders as expected in all browsers except Opera, which is having a problem with the following CSS rule (refer to line 65 of the style sheet, Home.css): max-width: 50em; This rule is applied to a division called div_Main_content. The problem is that this division is being rendered about 2ems short of what it should be, as you can clearly see if you open the web page (index.css) in Opera. I'm surprised, since an earlier division of the page (called subdiv_Unit_title), which has the same rule applied (line 46 in the style sheet), behaves as expected. Could someone please advise me whether this problem constitutes a bug in Opera. Question Two Is anyone aware of restrictions in use of the 'overflow' property, specifically, whether browsers are supposed to interpret 'overflow' to cut off nested divisions? In the style sheet referenced above (Home.css), I have a wrapper division called div_Content that encloses all other content in the html file. If you apply the 'overflow: hidden' rule to div_Content (i.e. include line 27 of Home.css, currently commented out), only the first nested division (div_Banner) is displayed; the two sibling divisions of div_Banner (called div_Table_of_contents and div_Main_content respectively) are ignored. All of the browsers I have tried (Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari) display in the same way. I cannot understand this behaviour as the height of div_Content has not been restricted. Could someone please explain what is going on. Question Three -- I have applied the rule 'outline: thin solid black;' to the body element in order to see how each browser renders the body. All except Firefox place the divisions div_Table_of_contents and div_Main_content outside the body box (as I would expect as these divisions are absolutely positioned), whereas Firefox contains both divisions within the body box. Could someone please advise whether this is an error in Firefox's rendering of the page.

However, If your user has it installed and doesn't have Arial installed (unlikely, even on a Mac), then text styled with this will appear in Helvetica font. The reason these towo are often associated is that they are visually similar and readily available. If neither are available, the browser will display the text in whatever sans serif font first appears listed on the client system. My personal feeling is that trying to specify fonts beyond "serif" and "sans serif" is such a crapshoot that I never bother. ~mark *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: memberh...@webstandardsgroup.org ***

Mark, So you just have serif or sans serif in the font-family?

The biggest cost I have seen in web design since 1996, when I started, is the perceived need to make the web like the printed page. That, and the desire to make it pixel-identical in multiple browsers. Let the control go to the user, focus on getting information out there. You can't control everything, just make it make sense. I do test in multiple browsers, but only to make sure I haven't put some dumb hack in to fix a problem in one, that breaks something somewhere else. ~mark *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: memberh...@webstandardsgroup.org ***
