Only if you really need to support IE5.5 and earlier, which most  
people don't do since they have an insignificant market share.

Re: [WSG] Dreamweaver8

2008-04-10 Thread Joseph Ortenzi
for RegEx, grep searches as described here on the Mac, try BBEdit or  
Textmate, or the free Text Wrangler.

one thing I
miss about dreamweaver is that you can do a 'search all' and
get a list of all instances of the thing you are searching for
rather than cycling through a 'find...find...find...'
list. So far it's the only program I've used that does that
and I really notice not having it.



My favourite general-purpose text editor is UltraEdit, which does  
what
you describe: returns a list of files containg your search string,  
and

the entire line(s) that contain that string. It's not a web-specific
tool, but does beat everything else I have tried to date.



Sounds interesting - I'll check it out.


Normally I use grep for searching in multiple files (returns a list of
matching files and lines) - nothing else I've seen is faster than this
classic unix command-line tool (windows users: there are windows  
versions of
it - or you can install cygwin, which comes with it. Mac OSX users  
probably

already have it!)

.. but yes ... it would be nice to be able to do this kind of thing  
without
leaving my text editor... some kind of regex search/replace would be  
nice

too!

(but for me to use it in the real world it must start up quickly - I'm
impatient! :)

[WSG] need some help

2008-04-10 Thread Joseph Ortenzi

Hi All London Standardistas!

Hope this little job request is agreeable to the list.

I need some quick template creation help (paid) for 2-3 days next week  
possibly. Anyone got some time available?
You need to be a whizz at fully-compliant XHTML/CSS and modifying a  
basic template to several (6) different variations.
My deadline got squeezed and I need my OOP coders concentrating on the  
back-end and interface functionality.

   On the mouse over color Y it becomes color X

2008-04-10 Thread Svip
Well, you could simply change the background image to create the
illusion of it changing colour.  However, I think technically it is
way too confusing for it to change colour when you browse the site.

A different note, your page claims to be in Portuguese, when the only
Portuguese text appearing on the site are in images, and all written
text is English.

Svip

RE: [WSG] How to make diagonal lines change color?

2008-04-10 Thread Paul Bennett
warning: untested!

You could try this* (won't people almost _always_ be mousing over the page body 
though?)

body{background: #000 url(/path/to/image.gif) repeat;}
body:hover{background: #000 url(/path/to/somotherimage.gif) repeat;}

* won't work in IE 6 though

HTH?

Re: [WSG] How to make diagonal lines change color?

2008-04-10 Thread Kane Tapping
Hi ,

If I HAD to do something like this, I would create a Gif image that had a 
transparency where you wanted the colour change.

Then use the GIF as a background image on a item and specify a background 
colour that changed on hover.

div#name {background: #f00 url(image-name.gif) repeat;}
div#name:hover {background-color #00f;}

This method would remove the issues with pre-caching a second image that 
you cant get around with using offsets because you want to tile the image.

Kind Regards,

RE: [WSG] Standard for committing changes to a database?

2008-04-10 Thread Elizabeth Spiegel
Hi Jessica

As a user, I am really annoyed by applications that don't work consistently
- they're much harder to learn (at work I have to use one that labels the
same tool a 'Power search' in one place and an 'Advanced search' in
another).

I would prefer to see a 'save changes' button (or similar) as the consistent
approach - it provides an opportunity to review before you save something
awful.

Subject: [WSG] Standard for committing changes to a database?

Hi everyone

I am currently reviewing a desktop application that involves mostly viewing
and changing records in a database (via a nice GUI front end).

In some places, changes are committed as soon as you enter them, a bit
like how Microsoft Access operates. In other places, the user has to
specifically save to commit changes, like MYOB.

Any opinions on when one approach should be used over the other and whether
the inconsistency matters?

Thanks in anticipation,
