Re: [WSG] Duplicate navigation?

2004-11-01 Thread Ben Hamilton
Thanks Neerav,
   via the link you gave, I found 
http://www.wdvl.com/Internet/ContentManagement/server_side.html
to quote part of it (talking about SSI)
A preferable solution is one where the entire page is generated by a 
single process, preferably a process which is persistent - it starts 
running when the server is started, rather than being run again each 
time the page is viewed. FastCGI, ASP, Server-side Java, PhP and 
ColdFusion are examples of technologies which are better for building a 
fully dynamic site.

Since my server supports PHP, I'll follow that route.
Thanks,
Ben.

Hi all,
   I'm wondering if this is possible: to have content inside of a div 
displayed in two places on my page?

That is, to specify some content once only, but have it display twice 
on a single page?

Is it possible? If so, is it sematicly correct?
My use for this is navigation. It would mean I could specify my 
navigation in one place i.e.  div id=navigation.../div and have 
it display once under my branding at the top of the page, and again 
at the bottom of the page, using a class to change the way it displays.

Re: [WSG] CSS drop-down menus

2004-11-01 Thread Kay Smoljak
On the Perth Festival site last year (actual page no longer online) we
used some JavaScript to hide and display the Flash movie when the drop
down menu was activated. As the Flash was eyecandy only, it didn't
matter - we figured that if someone was examining the menu, they
weren't watching the page anyway.

Re: [WSG] Mac IE5 double character weirdness

2004-11-01 Thread James Ellis
Thanks Kevin, unfortunately that doesn't fix it. I think that browser
doesn't like labels around form elements - some bug in its rendering
engine which I can't fix.

As it's not being developed any more I think the solution is to click
in the fields or update to OSX and one of the better browsers, which
is what I'm telling the handful of customers it effects.

Cheers
James

 Hi James,
 
 I get it too on IE 5.2, but only for the password field, not the username
 field. The only difference I can see between the 2 fields is the 'value='
 attribute, so maybe try adding that to the password field and see if it
 makes any difference.

  Has anyone experienced this before? Mac IE 5.x user hits a page with a

  two characters appear for every one typed.
  If the user clicks in the field with their mouse the problem goes away.

Re: [WSG] CSS drop-down menus

object
param name=wmode value=transparent
embed wmode=transparent  /
/object

setting wmode to transparent on both the object tag and the embed tag
seems to work in all current browsers. i think netscape 6 had a
problem with it, but who uses that! ;)

Re: [WSG] Some links for light reading (2/11/04)

2004-11-01 Thread Jack Banh
I found Mike's article on browser/standards evolution to be really 
though-provoking.

I love his point about having the rendering engine of a browser (not the 
interface) easily upgraded
like what occurs with each new version of Flash.

What does everyone else think? Does browser development need a good kick 
and a strong set
of guidelines and deadlines?
