[WSG] Something new... LINE_HEIGHT

2004-11-03 Thread Richard Czeiger



Hi all :o)

Can't find any reference to this little pecularity on the 
web...

OK. So I learned that it's better to use numbers rather than 
em's or % as numbers are inherited.

BUT! Whenever i have my line-height set to 1.4 (or 140% or 
1.4em for that matter), all the underlines of my links get squished to the 
text-bottom by 1 pixel. I know this sounds ridiculously finnicky but it can make 
them more difficult to read.

OK - a concession: this ONLY seams to happen in IE5. 
Unfortunately, that what my client's are running and will be viewing my nice 
little Intranet on.

You can check out examples here:

Has anyone else heard of this microscopicly small little 
quirk?

Cheers :o)

Then you need to sell them on the urgent need to replace IE5, which is a
security hazard that should be deemed unacceptable:

Can't be sure, because you provide no URL, but it appears you're
pointing out mousetype links. Switch to a readable size and the problem
is likely to become inconsequential.

RE: [WSG] right column help

2004-11-03 Thread Patrick Lee
Is there a reason why you can't do both column faux with the page
background? Surely the grey background on the right will be obscured by the
top header image and the h1 (with an #fff background) if you put it in the
page background.

Considering you have a fixed width layout I'd certainly suggest doing both
column backgrounds using the background image for the page. You're going to
run into countless difficulties with the current method as you add content
to pages.

Hi

I'm just starting to do all my layouts in pure css and struggling a
little bit!

I've done this layout, the left column is a b/g image in the body tag
which is fine but the right one is a b/g image in a container div,
which contains the middle content and the right column. The image
doesn't seem to be repeating all the way down and how do I get the
container div to go full length of the screen? I've set it to 100%.

RE: [WSG] Mail with xhtml/css layout

2004-11-03 Thread Patrick Lee
You can style emails with css. Because of what many email clients (web based
and otherwise) do to the code you have to do all the css inline.

There was an article over at alistapart.com a while ago

http://www.alistapart.com/articles/cssemail/

A couple of additional points
1. Hotmail will change url to nourl so you can't have background images
for your css
2. Gmail basically destroys anything you throw at it as far as I can tell.

I'd advise against sending anything but plain text but if it's what a client
wants then... yes, it is possible.

[WSG] alt tag boundaries

2004-11-03 Thread Ted Drake
Hi Gang

I don't know if this is off topic, I thought I'd risk the post anyways.

I work for a commercial company and they naturally want the best search results and 
all that go with it.  I have convinced them to not spam the alt tags, that we need to 
keep them proper for accessibility. In fact, our site almost gets a AAA rating on WAI 
and I've done as much as I can to keep to the spirit of the standards. 

However, I have a question for those of you interested in accessibility.  I currently 
have an image with an alt (attribute) tag of photo of a laptop with coffee and rose 
petals  Now, I know this is not the greatest description. It was sort of a dig at the 
requirement to use the silly image.  However, it's time to fix it and I'm thinking of 
replacing it with this:

Purchase insurance online with the convenience of a laptop as seen in this image

Do you think this is pushing the boundaries of the alt attribute? I think it is short 
and does describe the image with more interesting copy than the original.  What do you 
think?

I'm sure users that rely on alt attributes will be thrilled by your 
humour. Seriously though: nice to have a dig, but not at the expense 
of users. Granted, in this case it's not bad, but it's the principle 
that I object to...

Anyway...if the image is purely decorative (which, by the sound of it, 
is the case), why not simply put a null alt attribute of alt= in 
there, or even better use CSS to place the image as a background?

[WSG] links with same names

2004-11-03 Thread Andreas Boehmer
One problem I come across regularly is the issue of not giving multiple 
links the same names. Let's say I have got a list of dynamically 
created news items, each one of them having a summary and a link 
to read more. Obviously this is inaccessible: 10 links all 
saying read more is not terribly helpful to anybody. But I would love 
to know how people solve this problem?

Personally, I sometimes make the title of the news item the actual 
link, but I feel this is not user-friendly enough. 

Another option is to make the read me link unique by including the 
title of the news item in it (e.g. Read more about the new 
Benchmarking for Educational Effectiveness Program). The length of 
this link shows for itself that it is not the best solution either.

Has anybody come up with better ways of solving this problem?

Re: [WSG] links with same names

2004-11-03 Thread Patrick H. Lauke
you can make use of the title attribute to make the links unique, while 
still visually having them appear short and similar.

a href=whatever.html title=read article: [TITLE OF ARTICLE]read 
article/a

best practice with regards to titles suggests that the link text should 
be repeated in the title itself. also be aware that in the case of 
screenreaders the output users will hear depends on the verbosity 
settings they have enabled.

RE: [WSG] links with same names

2004-11-03 Thread Peter Firminger
Predictable is a good thing. Expectations met! Usability has a lot to do
with predictability. The 'kiss' principle is always a good place to start.

 The whole Find out more about ... at the bottom of each page looks too
 predictable.

You can adjust the words to suit the site e.g.:

Find out more about title
More about title
Read title
More on title
Full text: title

Depends on how your titles are written and how you are accessing them
(hand coding or dynamic content output). If it's a custom built CMS you
could even add a data field specifically for this link (a short title
maybe). If it's hand coded then you can write a friendly link each time.

Of course it is. The best option by far, in my opinion, is having the 
news item title as the actual link, but you were looking for alternatives.

It would also be conceivable to use a small image that signifies the 
read entire article concept, and expanding it fully in the alt 
attribute alt=read this article: [TITLE OF ARTICLE] - or using CSS 
image replacement for this purpose.

 If the users
have the reading of title attributes turned off, they won't hear any 
difference between the links. In fact, no users of screenreaders I have 
met so far could hear the title attributes.
Just to throw in a devil's advocate type comment: the onus is also on 
the user to know how to use their AT, and how to configure it properly 
(although I'd say the screenreader developers are to blame for mostly 
having this option OFF by default...I'm looking at you, FreedomScientifc)

Good point Andreas, that is why i think that title attributes should be
used with caution, if the text is important don't put it in the title
attribute.
plain text is best.

Also remember that title attributes are device dependent, keyboard users
cannot access them.

A reasonable way around the issue is what they do on the age/sydney morning
herald
They have the heading as a link and and also a more link (both point to
the full text of the article)

Example:
Police arrest possible sex attacker
[11:30am] A Sydney rail commuter believes he saw someone resembling the
identikit picture of a serial sex attacker. more

it would be better if the more link had a title attribute, but the main
point is that   screen reader users have at least one clearly stated link
to the article.

In reference to to title content:
I think it is better to have repeated  words such as more or full text
at the end of the title text rather than the beginning
Examples:
america has spoken - full text
police arrest sex attacker -full text

As when read out of context the important and defining information is
frontloaded and allows easier identification of a particular link with a
list of links.

Try validating the HTML first.  There's no character encoding, you are using
a html doctype but it has xhtml code, you have headings inside anchors, alt
attributes on a link rather than an image, etc.  

Not saying this will fix your problem, but until the code is valid HTML,
it's anyone's guess what a browser will do.

 Thanks.

There appear to be some accessibility warnings on WAI and 508.

Cool site!

 I neglected to mention that long descriptions are set on the 
iframes, and can be read on a text-mode browser: 
http://www.delorie.com/web/lynxview.html

  For the time being, there is no alt text on the thumbnails. 
It was removed because the thumbnails are so close together, that the 
alt text created a garbled mess when viewed in a browser  with the 
images turned off.
