Re: [WSG] accessible drill-down into a nested list
Paul Novitski wrote: Tell me if this would be a better scenario: When you select a menu item, the page reloads with a set of breadcrumbs that spells out the history of selected menu items, such as: I think you are correct to be concerned about the issue, but this may not be the optimal solution. If you consider the requirements of a screen reader user, their task is one of wading through immense amounts of irrelevant stuff trying to find the thing of interest at that moment. What's of most interest at the moment you're describing is hearing the *new* options that are now available. The breadcrumb (hierarchical location) is also hugely appreciated as a means of keeping track of where they are in the site. From user testing we've done with screen reader users, the most important thing is that the page title and main heading on the page are descriptive. The page title is read first as the page loads, and then the behaviour depends on the screen reader in use. JAWS will typically skip over stuff that has been seen before, and try to jump to the first new content on the page. If the page title and heading don't change, this can be very destructive for these users, as they start trying to backtrack or reload the page to see what has gone wrong. In the scenario you describe, is the page more or less identical except that a new submenu has appeared in the navigation area? I think this would be very harmful UI for screen reader users. The chances of them locating the submenu are remote, and the chances of them realising that it represents hierarchically subordinate options are too. The best solution for these users may be to create menu pages that contain the submenu links as primary content. Ensuring that navigation links come after content links in the source order may also be very beneficial, as these downward or onward links are much more likely to be what the user is looking for. Somewhere else on the page, perhaps last in the markup, would be the full menu including all menu items at each selected level. A jump to navigation link early on the page could get you there quickly. I think this would be immensely bad design for screen reader users. This is a site map. What you may be missing is that too many links are the bane of a screen reader user's life. They rely on using links as a kind of binary tree to navigate the site - the last thing they benefit from is hearing links again that they have already discarded as not of interest. They go back much more than sighted users in order to find a link they heard before. The other interesting thing is that screen reader users build a mental map of a site that is nothing like the real architecture, based on the links they hear. If every link is on every page, all pages sound the same to them, because about half of a user's time on each page is spent listing the links. When the links on each page are mostly unique, screen reader users perform better in tasks. So, have a site map linked off each page, but don't include extra links on every page - these are bad for screen reader users, not helpful, in my opinion Hope this helps Cheers ian -- _ zStudio - Web development and accessibility http://zStudio.co.uk Snippetz.net - Online code library File, manage and re-use your code snippets links http://snippetz.net ** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list getting help **

[WSG] [IE 6 Problem] -Container will not align centre to the page.
Hello WSG,I have gone about creating this site for a class I have. I have been using in the past XHTML 1.0 strict but the doctype we must use is XHTML 1.1 Strict and it is giving me trouble. The overall design would not be something I would use as a design but my hands are tied because of the assignment restrictions. I have already know the problem is some kind of rule issue. I am researching the problem currently but if anyone already knows the anwser it would be greatly appericated.Please view this page both in IE 6 and Firefox. http://www.monsterboxproductions.com/hwk/thedigitallibary/index.htmlThank you for reading.

Firstly, XHTML 1.1 Strict doesn't exist, it's just XHTML 1.1. Don't confuse it with XHTML 1.0 Strict/Transitional/Frameset, there are no such variants for XHTML 1.1. Secondly, is your teacher aware of the fact that real world browsers don't support XHTML 1.1 properly, and that some don't support it at all? Most notably, no version of IE supports it - anyone who says (or tries to show) otherwise is lying. Perhaps my recent article would be an enlightening read for both you and your teacher. http://lachy.id.au/log/2005/12/xhtml-beginners I have already know the problem is some kind of rule issue.

Please view this page both in IE 6 and Firefox. http://www.monsterboxproductions.com/hwk/thedigitallibary/index.html It appears to work in Firefox, IE7 and Opera just fine (though, it really only works in IE thinks it's receiving HTML, not XHTML - it's a MIME type issue). I don't have IE6 available to test in without uninstalling IE7. However, you need to be aware that using the XML declaration triggers quirks mode in IE6 (they fixed that bug in IE7) and this may be the cause of your immediate problem. Remove this line: ?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8? To fix any other problems correctly, it requires using the correct MIME type. The easiest way is to change the file extension to .xht or .xhtml and add this line to your .htaccess file on your server (create it if you don't have one, Google for .htaccess files for more info) AddType application/xhtml+xml .xht .xhtml (After doing this, you won't be able to view it in IE, only Firefox, Opera and other descent modern browsers, but you will learn a valuable lesson none-the-less) -- Lachlan Hunt http://lachy.id.au/ ** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list getting help **
[WSG] Web design education
A large university here in the UK offers web design courses. But I don't hold out much hope for the future when they have things like this in their syllabus: Without the use of tables, all web pages would have to be presented in purely linear form. Many creative uses of the screen would be impossible to achieve. Although tables are a little trickier than other effects used in basic web design, it is mainly a matter of remembering that HTML's first purpose is to structure the page; tables are just an extension of this basic idea. Once you have mastered the basics, you can get some very sophisticated effects with table tags. (Taken from http://www.leeds.ac.uk/acom/webdesign/materials/lesson4.html) Has anyone attended this course? Is it really as bad as all that? To what extent can students do it the right way without being penalised from straying from the Official Course Documentation? And, a larger question for us all: what are we as web standards and accessibility evangelists to do about the continued ingorance and apathy towards this vital subject, especially in academia? Let's hope that the recent Target website court case in the US highlights the cause.

It was interesting reading your post James because it seems that TAFEs across the country may vary widely despite courses supposedly being drawn from a national based syllabus and providing national accreditation. I recently completed a Certificate IV in Web Design at the Bendigo TAFE (BRIT) and my experience was anything but what you describe. Students were permitted to design their final assignment, a total web site of their choosing, in any layout they wished, even Frames! Yes, they were expected to validate both their xhtml and css, but only to low levels. Tables seemed to be the most popular layout used. Personally, I did the course to learn more about css layouts and I achieved this. Some help was achieved through contact with one particular lecturer who was enthusiastic, but out of date and teaching deprecated tags at times. However, to his credit, he was willing to do the research and admit his shortcomings. Most of my learning regarding structure of css sites came from active participation in a forum at www.htmlforums.com where the moderators are certainly evangelists for css layouts.

[WSG] print style question
HI All I've got a nagging issue. It's on a local directory, so I can't share the url. I've got a page with two large tables. Each is in its own container div. I'd like to get the second table to print on its own page. I've already made both containing divs block level and applied the page-break-before style to the second table. I've also tried clear:both and float:none to avoid any descending behaviors. Does anyone have a suggestion for finding the printing conflict? Thanks Ted Drake Front-end Engineer Yahoo!

Firstly, XHTML 1.1 Strict doesn't exist, it's just XHTML 1.1. Don't confuse it with XHTML 1.0 Strict/Transitional/Frameset, there are no such variants for XHTML 1.1. Secondly, is your teacher aware of the fact that real world browsers don't support XHTML 1.1 properly, and that some don't support it at all? Most notably, no version of IE supports it - anyone who says (or tries to show) otherwise is lying. Perhaps my recent article would be an enlightening read for both you and your teacher. http://lachy.id.au/log/2005/12/xhtml-beginners I have already know the problem is some kind of rule issue.

Please view this page both in IE 6 and Firefox. http://www.monsterboxproductions.com/hwk/thedigitallibary/index.html It appears to work in Firefox, IE7 and Opera just fine (though, it really only works in IE thinks it's receiving HTML, not XHTML - it's a MIME type issue). I don't have IE6 available to test in without uninstalling IE7. However, you need to be aware that using the XML declaration triggers quirks mode in IE6 (they fixed that bug in IE7) and this may be the cause of your immediate problem. Remove this line: ?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8? To fix any other problems correctly, it requires using the correct MIME type. The easiest way is to change the file extension to .xht or .xhtml and add this line to your .htaccess file on your server (create it if you don't have one, Google for .htaccess files for more info) AddType application/xhtml+xml .xht .xhtml (After doing this, you won't be able to view it in IE, only Firefox, Opera and other descent modern browsers, but you will learn a valuable lesson none-the-less) -- Lachlan Hunt http://lachy.id.au/ ** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list getting help ** ** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list getting help **

But it is very easy for professors to go against change and keep teaching the same methods... and if the sites they use are Google-Amazon-Ebay, they might not even notice that anything has changed. Absolutely agree that the institution can provide a fairly protected environment for those who want to use it that way - the inertia generated by tenure and impending retirement is often insurmountable!

Re: [WSG] accessible drill-down into a nested list
Ian Anderson: I think this would be immensely bad design for screen reader users. This is a site map. What you may be missing is that too many links are the bane of a screen reader user's life. They rely on using links as a kind of binary tree to navigate the site - the last thing they benefit from is hearing links again that they have already discarded as not of interest. They go back much more than sighted users in order to find a link they heard before. The other interesting thing is that screen reader users build a mental map of a site that is nothing like the real architecture, based on the links they hear. If every link is on every page, all pages sound the same to them, because about half of a user's time on each page is spent listing the links. When the links on each page are mostly unique, screen reader users perform better in tasks. This is great, I'd really like to send this as a reply every time someone asks about dropdown menus ;-) The lack of uniqueness in link labels and too much navigation (e.g. the site map on every page) affects all users not just screen reader users. I recently completed user testing for a navigation system with 165+ links in it. Most tasks were eventually completed though not without error(s). We observed a lot of backtracking, confusion over similar (i.e not unique enough) labels and false positives (where users were confident the task was complete but they were not in the prescribed location). Most users requested additional contextual information (e.g. tooltips, or deks). So indications are, IMO (based on this, and my recent reading of Spool on global navigation) that less global navigation, and more contextual navigation is generally better for content rich sites. kind regards Terrence Wood. ** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list getting help **
Re: [WSG] Web design education
FWIW. Here's an interesting item. Using the Syllabus Finder at the Center for History New Media, I searched for web design. The search returned about 189,000 results. As I looked through the first couple of pages of listings, I was struck by the range of departments in the web design ed biz and the number of web standards folks. Perhaps things are not as bad as first impressions might suggest.

But I don't hold out much hope for the future when they have things like this in their syllabus: Without the use of tables, all web pages would have to be presented in purely linear form.

Although tables are a little trickier than other effects used in basic web design, it is mainly a matter of remembering that HTML's first purpose is to structure the page; tables are just an extension of this basic idea. Once you have mastered the basics, you can get some very sophisticated effects with table tags. (Taken from http://www.leeds.ac.uk/acom/webdesign/materials/lesson4.html) Has anyone attended this course? Is it really as bad as all that?

As an educator I feel I am in a great position to make a difference at a 'grass roots' level. Students studying web design at our college (Ultimo TAFE) are exposed to about as much evangelism as they can take! .. It was interesting reading your post James because it seems that TAFEs across the country may vary widely despite courses supposedly being drawn from a national based syllabus and providing national accreditation. As I mentioned - we work of syllabus documents based on industry developed training packages that are often close to 10 years old. In IT that is an absurd situation. If the individual is working in isolation based on these documents it would be possible (and 'valid' from an assessment point of view) to deliver frames and table-based layout. We typically stretch or reinterpret the outcomes to make them relevant to current industry practice, but for the aforementioned reasons there is no guarantee that each TAFE will deliver the same content - even if you do identical modules. TAFE is working reasonably hard on the concept of assessment validation - the goal being that every student will be trained to to the same level and assessed to this level regardless of college location. This has been difficult to achieve without using centralised assessments - an expensive and cumbersome approach with many problems of its own, including a real lack of flexibility. I am sorry to hear that your experience of TAFE was less that optimal, but it is great to hear that they were willing to listen, and that you achieved what you wanted through the course. In many ways this is part of the education process, with your tutor taking on the role of a facilitator for your learning rather than the more classical lecturer/teacher role. ** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list getting help **

I never wanted this to turn into a political discussion but that's where it's been taken. I thought there was no question about the legal grounds of the whole case but since there have been then I hope I can lay them to rest right here. Legally courts can and will regulate companies. It's been happening for years! We tell them the required minimum wage, the maximum working hours, we regulate overtime, we tell them to put wheelchair ramps in front of their doors, we zone their buildings, we make them get permits, we do health inspections, etc. etc. etc. We have all these laws in place to protect people. People are guaranteed freedom, not companies. No, the courts cannot force me to make my website accessible, but they can force Target Inc. Co. TM (R) to make their website accessible, just like they can force Target to do a lot of other things, because Target is not a person. It is a seperate entity. It is subject to the rule of the courts. And hopefully the courts are interpreting the laws correctly and deciding what the people want, in applying it to their decisions. I know it gets sketchy after that, but that is how things are supposed to work. We need to stop arguing with each other about the legal basis of this case and just wait and see whether or not the courts will apply the ADA to this website. It's that simple, and hopefully we can now get to what we should be discussing here, that is, the technical reasons why Target.com is not accessible and identifying other company websites that are also making the same mistakes.

Related to this, I reckon one of the biggest problems causing a lack of standards in Web design education is a lack of collaboration. Each facilitator/lecturor is re-inventing the wheel with activities and resources largely due to IP restrictions within their workplace. In reality, many facilitators just end up re-using the same resources that's been used for the last 5 years because on their own they don't have time to update both their own skills and the resources they use. The ironic thing is that (nearly) all the best info on Web Design topics is being shared freely by professional designers on their blogs/sites! ... I mean, with excellent sites like http://webdesignfromscratch.com/ and http://maxdesign.com.au/ published by professionals, what is the role of an educator? My take is that if lecturors and facilitators were able to collaboratively create and update flexible learning pathways from all the great free stuff out there, we'd be in a better position to help the uptake of standards in Web design education. (Plug) : 'cause of this, I've started setting up a WebDesign Wikibook over at: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Web_Design Really it's just ordering and grouping all the great resources out there created by you professionals into some sort of learning pathway with ideas for activities...
