Re: [WSG] Firefox 3 and script tag 'problems'
Ken McInnes wrote: Most browsers will render this OK, BUT Firefox 3 WILL NOT. It just renders the page with nothing on it. :-( I had a similar issue a fwe years ago in IE6, where a script tag with nothing inside (i.e. script .../script) would cause IE6 to show a blank screen, although I think it was in a particular environment, as it doesn't always happen.

Re: [WSG] HTML special characters coding
I still use encoded characters in attributes sometimes, for example in alt text that needs quote makr. I can't think of an example off hand, but I assume entities are still needed for that? -Alastair *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ***
Re: [WSG] flash navigation - Devils advocate
I think i agree with all of the above, that using Flash for navigation is not a good or applicable solution, even with appropiate fallback. The only reason i could think of for using Flash in this case would be, when a specific font is required, that will just not render properly with (X)HTML/CSS/Javascript. This reminds me alot of the about sFIR, the Flash image replacement method. regards, Jens willdonovan wrote: I know that there are a lot of free javascript libraries available for you to use without having to go to the extent of programming your own javascript features. things like dhtml goodies and scriptaculous, I'm sure the group has some other options but this is getting off topic now. a quick search would find a few for you.

Re: RE: [WSG] Mobile phone support of CSS
Sorry, haven't been around for a few days. Thanks for the replies everyone. Much appreciated and I can now talk about mobile development with more confidence! Cheers 2008/6/25 Darren Lovelock [EMAIL PROTECTED]: -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Michael MD Sent: 25 June 2008 11:10 To: wsg@webstandardsgroup.org Subject: Re: RE: [WSG] Mobile phone support of CSS I agree, this is not web standards. However remember they could be following web standards with their CSS version. and I don't think it is just in the UK, it is every where for Vodafone. Which not only defies any effort you made to put the thing together for presentation standards as well. I think it is their solution to controlling the user experience on handset side of things when someone accesses mobile web. Why don't they let the community sought it out? It seems now that if standards are to be effective in the mobile access space, there is now another hump to get an open standard. are they doing this for all sites on all types of phones or only changing it if the phone's browser can't handle the original format/doctype/css/etc The latter is nothing new... Google has been doing it for years for pages linked from mobile search results allowing even ancient phones to browse pages they would not otherwise be able to look at. (ie making them accessible!) -- I believe that they are changing all types of phones. I have a sony ericcson k800i and it modifies the pages on that unless I go in the vodafone account settings and switch it off. It works fine without it! The Novarra proxy is over-riding the handheld stylesheet when I visit my website. This is because my site will deliver the standard stylesheet as it detects Novarra's user agent and not my mobile's. So it affects any site regardless if they are already mobile friendly!
