I forgot to mention, in the above site, it actually is about 776px  
before you see a horizontal bar, but that doesn't eliminate my  
suspicion that IE 7 has issue with elastic layout, becaus at IE 6,  
the scollbar appears when the sreen is smaller that 769px.


thanks!

[WSG] IE 7 check please

[Tee G. Peng]

Can you please tell me if you see a horizontal scroll-bar in these  
two sites in IE 7 (not standalone), in 800px wide screen.


http://spanish-portuguese.berkeley.edu/
http://www.thinkvitamin.com/

I am working on a similar layout and in my standalone version it has  
scroll-bar, not in IE 6 though, therefor I don't want to fix  
something I am uncertain whether that is a bug in IE standalone and  
beta.


If it also show up in IE 7, has anybody encountered similar before  
and if you know the quick fix?


Thanks!

Can you comment on Ext JS ?

I'd been wanting to know how it measure up  with standards but  
thought this is not a place to ask, but where is the better place to  
get a better answer regarding standards? :)

If you want to absolutely follow standards, make sure you don't use
any methods that wrap "innerHTML." jQuery has one but it also has a
bunch of methods that use the proper DOM methods (appendElement,
removeElement, etc) so stick to the proper DOM methods and you will be
fine.

My point was that YUI doesn't output any HTML on its own - it only does what
you tell it to do.

Re: [WSG] London Meetup for people interested in an informal discussion around web standards

[Joseph Ortenzi]

Thanks Nick, etc.

So sounds like the Web Standards London is allied (loosely!) with Web  
Standards group (webstandardsgroup.org),


Web Standards London likes  structured lectures followed by beer

Pub Standards is developers talking about beer, with some Standards talk

Web Standards Meetup London talks about web standards with beer and  
wine and cola or coffee in attendance.


Sounds like plenty of room for everyone here. Anyone mind if I  
progress with gettingt attention for the group I just started (Web  
Standards Meetup London)?

Heya guys,

Just to confirm that Pub Standards is not the only web standards  
meet-ups and going the list will only get you messages about pub  
standards events - nothing else. The mailer is also specifically  
for Beer related talk - though from time to time web standards is  
mentioned


If you are looking for speakers and presentations then pub  
standards is not for you - it is really all about the beer and just  
a coincidence that everyone who attends are web devs ;>


For general meet-ups with presentations and such (like Geek Dinners  
or things similar) then it really is best to just keep a close eye  
on upcoming.yahoo.com for things as they pop up from time to time -  
you will also get a good idea of who to follow so that you can see  
when things are occuring as they say they are attending or watching.


By all means please come to pub standards, its a hell of a lot of  
fun but don't expect to learn too much :>

Not true. YUI is much more then a Javascript library, and it outputting
alot of HTML and CSS could (possibly!) make it break your valid pages.
I am using YUI, its very nice, but i've only been using it for some small
things and I did not yet validate them, and even if I had, it would not be
a guarantee for other parts of the library.
It *is* tested in alot of browsers for compatibility, which is maybe even
more important then standards compliance (sorry...).

Maarten

JavaScript libraries do not by themselves put errors in your CSS or HTML,
only you - the user - can do that. :)

If you consider WCAG a "web standard", then you need to make sure that your
page "is still accessible when scripts are turned off" (or words to that
effect). Read our article that Alfonso linked to for an example of how
jQuery can be applied.

I haven't tried Yahoo's library, but jQuery is just great.  I only use 
it lightly (getting DOM elements, applying classes etc), but its been 
very nice to work with so far.  No code issues.

Hi Simon,,

I was just reading a very interesting article regarding jQuery:
http://www.digital-web.com/articles/jquery_crash_course/

probably you can get some more information from there.
