Re: [WSG] Multiple IE's for browser testing
Hi Use virtualbox (.org) and run up a virtual machine that only has IE7 on it. You can do this by installing XP into the virtual machine and updating it to IE7. Remember to turn off Windows Update so it doesn't upgrade to IE8 when you are not looking. Virtualisation is the only real way to get an IE that matches what site visitors are using, meaning less fubar when debugging an issue. (I don't see the general public browsing with a MultipleIE browser). Note you will need a Windows license for each virtualised Windows machine you use.

Re: [WSG] An Acceptable Dropdown
2009/8/23 Bushidodeep field.ni...@gmail.com: All debates aside on drop-down menus, they're called for, demanded by some. I like this onehttp://www.csun.edu/, and wondered if anyone has a tutorial URL bookmarked? WAI-ARIA has a number of menu-related roles and properties [1]. Newer browsers, including IE 8, offer reasonably good levels of support, as do newer versions of some assistive technologies. There's a good video by Todd Kloots of the YUI team demonstrating the use of ARIA to enhance accessibility of a drop-down menu: I'll link to the copy on Eric Miraglia's blog [2], as that includes a transcript.

[WSG] legal list numbering
How do people get around the problem of marking up ordered lists in legal documents, such as policies or terms and conditions? A typical structure might look like: 1 blah blah blah 1.1 blah blah blah 1.2 blah blah blah 1.2.1 blah blah blah 1.2.2 blah blah blah 1.3 blah blah blah 2 blah blah blah 2.1 blah blah blah 2.1.1 blah blah blah* I've seen a variety of convoluted javascript and CSS methods, but they're all hacks for what is essentially a pretty logical structure... nested ordered lists! I have to admit, I haven't even checked whether this is addressed in html 5. * BTW: I've read lots of legal documents and I reckon the text can mostly be replaced with blah blah blah without affecting their meaning. -- Andrew Harris and...@woowoowoo.com http://www.woowoowoo.com ~~~ * ~~~ *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: memberh...@webstandardsgroup.org ***
RE: [WSG] legal list numbering
Andrew You cannot mess around with legal documents by removing or changing numbering. If you can't code it up in html, it might be better to use pre or even to publish it in pdf. regards Mark Mark Huppert Library Web Development Integrated Library Management System Coordinator Division of Information R.G.
