Maybe it is because it's a JavaScript solution. If you have JavaScript
disabled, you are back to where you started. Of course, this may be  
a better
solution than not trying to support IE6 at all which I read on this  
list

some people are suggesting.




I still write my CSS quite conservatively, that is, use selectors/ 
attributes that are not supported by IE6 mindfully. As far as IE6  
concerns, the layout will not break, and no block should goes out of   
place that might cripple the site under IE6. I make sure to unplug the  
IE7.js before the delivery of the site just  to see how the page/site  
holds up in IE6 and if anything stops working.


So to me IE7 script is more a cosmetic remedy. Few of my clients are  
from traditional print media background, they care more the look than  
JS being turned off by users.

Re: SPAM-LOW: Re: [WSG] semantics of a simple form

2008-10-01 Thread Drew Trusz
 The aspx programmer is open to standards and may be receptive to my advice.


 how about this:

 fieldset

 legendRoom Search/legend
 div class=checkin
 labelCheck-in Date:/label
 select name=...
 option value=101/option
 /select ..
 /div
 div class=checkout
 label for=...Check-out Date:/label
 select name=...
 ./select
 div class=button
 input type=submit name=... value=Search id=... /
 /div
 /div
 /fieldset

 ...allthough when i look at it this nearly feels like a list to me...

Reading slow these days.

An explicit label has two parts: the label with its for attribute
and the id attribute in the control. Your example need to have the
id attribut equal to the for attribute of the label added to the
select:
label for=bbbselect name=xxx id=bbb

Or use the implicit form which includes the select in the label and
therefore doesn't need the for  or id attributes:
labelCheck-in Date:
select name=...
option value=101/option
/select
/label

Most form look like lists, don't they? What makes them different is
you are collecting data with which something is done.
