Hi,

Web 2.0 is basically what Web 1.0 was meant to be, before it was hijacked
by commerce, i.e. collaborative information sharing, social networking,
etc.

The difference is that nowadays we have Web technologies which make this
much easier and more extensive, e.g. Wikipedia and other wikis, blogs, rss
feeds etc.

I guess, from a design point of view, Web 2.0 is creating Websites which
incorporate these technologies.

 That's an interesting thought. Is Web 2.0 larger than the web itself?
 Has it become an art movement/period, in the same way as Modernism,
 Post-Modernism, Humanism, Impressionism, etc?

RES: [WSG] hello

2008-02-13 Thread Genau
I suggest a definition to web 2.0: 

The lysergic side of Internet.

 

Why?

 

As Timothy Leary, he defined a  thought.

As Beatles on Seargent Peppers

As Bush on War against terror

 

Is impossible to describe.

Re: [WSG] tableless forms !!!

2008-02-13 Thread James Ellis
Hi Naveen

Options are, as discussed, fieldsets and labels to assist with positioning.

There is nothing illegal about using form elements in a table - some see it 
as the widget labels being in the th and the actual widgets being in 
the td. For a quick, single fieldset form, it's a useful layout especially 
if time is of the essence. You could see it as a one row table but with two 
columns, if that makes sense.

Does have some major drawbacks in that you can't easily relayout the form for 
other uses using CSS. E.g in some instances I've used the same form markup 
and presented in different ways using CSS. Definition lists really help out 
there.

1. Fieldsets, legends, labels and associated form widgets. If you want to take 
the legends out for whatever reason, then do legendspanmy 
legend/span/legend and use legend span {position : absolute; 
left : -9000px;} or similar in CSS.
Use fieldsets as block level elements to position them within the form.

2. As #1 but use a definition list inside each fieldset. Form labels go in the 
dt, widgets in the dd. You can float the dt and dd to get a presentation 
similar to your classic '97 grid layout with the added flexibility of being 
able to re - layout it in another way.
You would need to use the for attribute to link labels with widgets as you 
cannot, of course, wrap the widgets in the label

I've used DL's quite a bit and it works well especially when the client is apt 
to change their mind and they want the form labels above the widgets instead 
of to the left. You can just turn off the dt/dd float in that case.

If you have buttons at the bottom of a form, use a fieldset to contain those 
and set its clear to both to clear any floated elements above.

HTH

For instance, before using virtualisation to test IE in XP, I was using Wine 
and ies4linux and not getting very good Javascript results.

Actually, Wine is not emulation. [1]

WINE = Wine is not an emulator.

Hi WSG,
I'm currently working on a web-site and I've bumped my head on IE rendering
things in its own weird way.
Its adding extra something to my list elements but I've stressed my brain
trying to solve it.

Here's an image to the problem

Heres the html and css


div class=navigation

width: 240px; }
div.navigation ul { list-style-type: none; padding: 8px 0px; margin: 0px;  }
div.navigation li { padding: 1px; margin: 1px; }
div.navigation a { display: block; font-size: 13px; padding: 10px; margin:

div.navigation a:hover { background: rgb(15,15,15); }
div.navigation a.active { background: rgb(15,15,15); color:

Hi Andrew,
Try this:

div.navigation a {zoom:1;}

As a side note, I don't see a need for that DIV, you could go with the UL
alone.
