[WSG] to submit or not to submit?
Interesting discovery today regarding the use of the return key to submit a form... Our ageing standard uni template has always had a mild form of validation on the site search box, where the submit button (input) remains disabled until something other than the standard text is entered into the text input. see it here: http://www.unimelb.edu.au/about/ We did this when we realised that by far the most common search term was an empty search, or one with some sort of default text. It seemed to work as far as avoiding those dud searches, but as I was working on a successor to the template and revisiting the old search box, I noticed that even with the submit button disabled, I could use the return key to submit the form. Further investigation revealed that the mac versions of Firefox, Camino and Opera would not submit, but Chrome (mac PC), Safari (mac) and IE6/7 would submit. Those were all I had on my machine at the time so I haven't done any more tests, but I thought it was curious. Any ideas on what might be the 'standard' behaviour - if one is specified? failing that, how about just a 'desired' behaviour ;-) -- 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] Opera Mini rendering issue with HTML5 doctype

Decided to convert the site to HTML5 and all I did was change the HTML5 doctype, it has no validation error, it renders the same in Safari Mini and Andriod, yet in Opera Mini it results a very long horizontal scrolling bar in portrait view, in landscape view it's a bit shorter (about 50px I think). I switched back to XHTML Basic 1.1, the horizontal scrolling bar gone! Without seeing the site it is hard to tell, but it i probably due to the rendering mode. I setup a test case: http://bit.ly/aPlv1b If you can test from Opera Mini, please let me know what you see in 2 to 4 test pages. Do you see a horizontal scrolling bar and shrunken page? If you could help identify the behavior and result of #5 would be great. tee *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: memberh...@webstandardsgroup.org ***
