The software this list uses actually seems pretty bad at filtering out stuff

Good list management software strips out read-receipt headers [1] as well as
blocking the automated out-of-office messages that seem to plague this list.

2008-10-22 Thread Diego La Monica
Hi Dave,

Dave:
I recommend you check out S5:
http://meyerweb.com/eric/thoughts/2004/10/18/ssup5sup-10/

I've used them on quite a few occasions and they work very well so long
as you're happy playing with HTML markup.

Diego:
I've seen it, It seem like both HTML Slidy and JAST-A-Slide. Right It's
interesting and I will proof the knowledge of it. Thanks for the link.

Dave:
PS I suggest turning off email receipts on emails to mailing lists :)

Diego:
Damn! I forgot to turn off it every time I post to any kind of mailing
list... but It's necessary to keep in touch with the clever customers! ;)

Sorry to all the list for the return receipt spam :)

 Hi guys,
 
   I'd like to inform you all that I've developed an alternative to
 *HTML Slidy* that claim to be accessible, cross browser and standard
 like it.
 
 The plus is that you can *listen the slides with Assistive Technologies*
 and produce a *remote presentation*: Students (Client) listen the slides
 while the Teacher (Server) leads them.
 
 All information regarding *JAST-A-Slide* are available on
 http://jastegg.it/jastASlide/ .
 
   I hope that will not be considered as spam, because I'm informing
 about a standard and compliant software solution.
 
 I will appreciate any kind of suggestion aimed to improve the quality
 and the performance of that script!

Hi Mike, 
  I apreciate a lot your offer, but JAST-a-slide is a client side
(x)html+javascript (it uses AJAX, and yes php too, to synchronize more
clients with master), so if I need an autorun I will implement it directly
in Javascript. ;)

Thanks

I've tested it in FF 3, IE6 and 7, Opera 9.5, Safari 3 for Microsoft Windows

Please, can you be more exact? 
Which links are broken or don't work?
Did you some strange operations (eg. disable javascript after load the

 Hi Christian,
 I believe that Firefox 3 supports it, but must admit I have not tried using 
 it.
 Interestingly I can't see the property listed in Sitepoint's Ultimate CSS
 Reference. Hmm.

 As for setting up font stacks, I found this article useful:

 http://unitinteractive.com/blog/2008/06/26/better-css-font-stacks/

 The linked PDF with samples of each type face shown side-by-side
 is a useful resource too, I think.

On Mon, 20 Oct 2008 22:44:26 -0400, Christian Montoya wrote back:

 David,

 I've been looking at that exact article, actually. It's very helpful. I guess 
 the
 biggest dilemma, currently, is that I am to come up with a consistent 
 vertical rhythm,
 but with just font-size and line-height alone, such as:

 body {
 font-size:75%;
 line-height: 1.5;
 }

 it's not enough. The difference in x-height between small fonts like 
 Calibri and
 large fonts like Verdana makes for very different results. As far as I can 
 tell, even
 using pixel or point sizes for fonts doesn't make a difference. And I'm 
 guessing that
 as far as browser compatibility goes, there's nothing that does. Is that 
 right?


Interesting. I have been doing some extensive tests to get that 
vertical rhythm to work cross-browser. I had not considered the
differing x-height between fonts. I'll make some more tests and report
back.

Meantime, I found the most consistent results using 100% base font
in IE, and 16 pixels for the rest. !00% base just does not work for all.
After that, I found I can use percents or EMs, calculated from nominal
pixels, for most everything-- as long as you round *any* fraction up 
to the next higher .01em for Safari.

Note: some browsers only apply whole percents, so more precision
may upset things.

Here are my results so far:

Nominal Points Size Pixels/ Percent
6pt nonpareil   8px 50%
7pt minion  9px 56.5%
8pt brevier 11px69%
9pt bourgeois   12px75%
10pt long primer13px82%
11pt small pica 15px94%
12pt pica   16px100%
14pt english19px119%
16pt columbian  21px132%
18pt great primer   24px150%
21pt double small pica  28px175%
24pt double pica32px200%
36pt double great primer48px300%

(Hope this isn't too muddled.)

P.S. - I use a line-height in EMs, based off the base, for body text
that's close to 100% to get equal vertical spacing. But I do need
to test various font faces, as you suggest. Also, DPI other than 96.

Cordially,
David
