Hi list

Just a quick admin reminder that the WSG list isn't a general web 
development/design mailing list. Please try and keep questions on-topic.

Here's a pointer to the mailing list guidelines:
http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm

Specifically, in this case:

The mail list does not cover:  ... Non-Web Standards related issues and 
support

Additionally, try and keep your message subjects informative and if you see a 
message that is off topic, just ignore it rather than generating a lot of 
traffic unecessary off-topic traffic for the 5800+ members.

I'll close this thread as it's off topic. If you wish to respond to the 
author, please do so directly off list.

Thanks
James

[WSG] Image gallery layout

2008-07-06 Thread Lynette Smith

Good morning

My client wants her image galleries to look the same (if possible) as on 
her Power Point Presentation. These images (in PPP) are positioned  
absolutely ie a certain cm measurement  from top left in each case.  The 
images are of paintings and are NOT  of  uniform size so I am working 
with different thumbnail sizes.  I have made them a uniform  maximum 
150px high but of course some are a lot wider and do not reach 150px 
vertically.


http://www.westernwebdesign.com.au/sarwon/slightly.html

CSS is ul#img

I have tried giving them ALL a uniform height 150px  regardless of width 
- see bottom 4 images - but of course I had to add a new bit of CSS - 
ul#img2 with a much wider ul#img2 li.


I have explained that the site should look good at all screen 
resolutions and have managed to have it look OK as small  as 800 x 600.


What I am asking is if there is any other way to lay out an image 
gallery other than the way I have done (which I always use but with 
uniform thumbnails).


I don't think she will mind if I tell her it is not possible to copy her 
PPP exactly  as here we are dealing with a fluid background which needs 
to be able to change with different screen sizes but I want to be sure 
there is not another way I can accommodate her wishes.


Thanks

SPENDING OUR GREAT INHERITANCE -- THEN WHAT? http://dieoff.com/page151.htm
When the future of oil is discussed, the common question asked is How long
will oil last? This is the wrong question. Insignificant amounts of oil
will probably be produced in the year 2100 and perhaps beyond. The critical
date is when the peak of oil production is reached and the world's demands
can no longer be supplied. From then on, there will be less and less oil to
divide. It is probable that the decline of world oil production will affect
more people in more ways than any other event in human history.

My problem is that my thumbnails are different sizes.  I already have it 
organised so the large image opens in a box on the same page, it is the 
display of the thumbnails that is the issue.  Thanks for the reply, 
Susie, when I have time I will check out Lightbox.

Hi Lyn,

You may want to check this technique as it allows the images to flow while
keeping them centered vertically/horizontally

[WSG] Of validation, and use of tables, etc

2008-07-06 Thread wlw
Hi,

I was looking around at accessibility of Sharepoint and came across a kit
developed by Hisoftware in conjuction with MS to improve accessibility of
Sharepoint http://aks.hisoftware.com/index.html ... However noticed that
there have been some comments on blogs that there is a lot of table code
even in this more accessible kit for Sharepoint... Hmmm

Then I decided to have a look at source code of http://hisoftware.com/ page
itself - full of table info and tried to vadate it  via W3C ... failed, plus
page not coded properly to meet accessibility guideliness...

This company sell its services to others
Setting the Standard. If you're not monitoring your Web site for
Accessibility you could be missing 20% (National Organization on Disability)
of your audience. That's the percentage of people whose business you may be
losing by not making your Web site accessible to people with disabilities.

The importance of Web accessibility standards has been recognized around the
world. In fact the U.S. Access Board has published a document called
Web-based Intranet and Internet Information and Applications as part of
Section 508, and the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) has developed a set of
universal guidelines for Web development titled Web Content Accessibility
Guidelines 1.0.


Who's watching those who push out products to assess and monitor web and
accessibility standards?

Cheers
WL

Yes - I am at this very moment working on that one  and it looks like it 
will be successful - I just need to convert  the wide rectangular images
