RE: [WSG] css buttons only hot over text in ie

2005-09-03 Thread kvnmcwebn

'That declaration *resets* the first one and you end up with anchors that
are
block elements, but *not* floats. That would be fine with most of the
browsers, but feeding IE with a height declaration makes it *expand* the
anchors full width (unless they are floats).'


Hello,
that explans why the width gets  blows  out.
But i cant get it to work, I still need one float right so i tried
it individually with each one. The same width problem occured when i set the
height to 1%.

Anyway your first solution of display: inline-block; worked like a charm!

thanks thierry

[WSG] CSS 3 color module and deprecation of system colors

2005-09-03 Thread Patrick H. Lauke
Apologies for cross posting, but: could anybody shed some light as to 
why system colors have been deprecated in the CSS 3 color module?


http://www.w3.org/TR/2003/CR-css3-color-20030514/#css-system

In my recent testing on Windows browsers, I found them to be fairly well 
supported and would posit that they can have quite a valuable role to 
play in creating accessible style sheets that match the user's set 
colour scheme / preferences (e.g. if a user has set their Windows 
environment to High Contrast, a web page can be styled to follow that 
preference).


Cheers,

Patrick

The CSS WG believes erroneously that they can be replaced by the new 
appearance property (which is not at all widely supported, to say the 
least). Several previous attempts to convince them that they were wrong 
have failed, but by all means please to do send your remarks to 
www-style, perhaps they will eventually be convinced?

i just downloaded the accessibar at the mozdev web site.  it's got a
built in reader; so if you have speakers or a headset you can hear how
accessible your page is in a reader.  it's not superior quality audio,
but it definitely gives you a sense of what's on the page.  the tool bar
is for folks with accessibility issues.  maybe i'm getting into gadgets
for accessibility, but as a visual artist and web designer, i'm caring
more about standards and accessibility more each day.  check it out,
it's a cool firefox/mozilla extension.



Is there some way to install and execute on Mac OSX? Anybody has done it?

Thanks

Rick
