[WSG] is this menu accessible to screen reader and js off?
I am learning jquery, needed some practise so I decided to try to integrate this flyout menu to Modx CMS, and I tested the menu from Firefox with JS off , I can see the menu working fine, but I am skeptical because I thought if it's controlled by JS it shouldn't be working, however Matt from onegeek told me that JavaScript accesses the DOM, and that every element in the page is an Object, therefor JS can get to it and access it's functions and properties. I am still trying to grasp the concept. http://pfirsichmelba.de/artikel-scripts/suckerfish-accessible.html http://pfirsichmelba.de/artikel-scripts/dropdown/horizontal.html Also, this site using mootool and still accessible when the js is off. http://www.hotel-oxford.ro/ Thank you! tee *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ***

Re: [WSG] Experience with Adobe Contribute
Hi, The latest version of Contribute (CS3) is not actually that bad. We use it all the time for our clients at work and generally the feedback is quite good. Contribute allows you to edit the text on a page just like you would with something like Word or Dreamweaver. You can also set it to create rollbacks so if anything gets messed up you can always undo what you've done. My recommendation would be for you to download the 30 day trial from Adobes website and have a play with it yourself. You could also ask your client to download it and have a play to see if it meets their needs before you pay for a license. With regards to standards, it will edit any site but if the site you have created is standards compliant then it will output in a compliant way as well (it might not be semantic or the best way to do something but it will validate!). With creating new pages, you can either create a HTML template with which they can use for new pages, or they can simply copy an existing page and just edit the text. This is normally fine for day-to-day use. As I say, the best thing to do is to download the trial and give it a go and see if it meets your needs.

You can limit the areas they can edit by using Dreamweaver templates, and there are a number of options within Contribute where you force standards compliance, but some strange stuff will still happen. For instance, if one of your users decides they want a nice, bright red message in the middle of their copy it achieves this by adding a style section in the head of the document. The style section will not be automatically removed if the red text is deleted. As far as I'm aware, though I may be wrong - this was Contribute 3 and I didn't look in too much detail, you can't force users to only use styles out of your existing stylesheets.

In Contribute CS3 you can set it up so that they can only use styles from a specific style sheet. You can also set it so that they can't control font size, colours, etc, etc. We do this for all of our clients as when we didn't they managed to break their websites within about 30 minutes!
