Hi there Kepler Thank you! I believe it¹s OK now. I would really like to ask you how you know all this ­ how you keep it in your head?!! Do you have pages and pages of stuff like this written down, or what?!!! For example: about making nav buttons clickable in IE7: why does the container div nee

This kind of design always causes problems during user testing because a screen reader user does not know what comes after form controls when they occur in the middle of a line. In fact they don't even know it's in the middle of a line. You are asking them to read the whole sentence then go back

Hello Greg, If I understand what you're asking, I *think* you could do something like this: Balance is within of my credit limit Then you can style the label to look right by controlling font-size, etc, and you could even style that input to look as it does in the email. input#amt { borde

Hi Susan, To make the navigation buttons clickable in IE7 you need to define the container as position: relative: #container { position: relative; } Also the pseudo links should be defined for :link and :visited if you define It for :hover. Try using these for the navigati

I have a dilemma that I hope someone can advise me on.  A client wants a fairly complex form that will have input fields in the middle of a line of text (think "adlibs"), and then a select box at the end of the line. For example: [th]  Alert  ...  [th]  Status or delivery choice [td]  Balance is w

Hi Cole, I found the CSS that was causing IE problems. It is in the clear class. Try using this definition instead: .clear { CLEAR: both; /* FONT-SIZE: 1px; OVERFLOW: hidden; HEIGHT: 1px */ } Again fixes the problem in IE7, didn't try it in IE6. Regards, Kepler *
