Re: [WSG] the Name attribute
Blinking text is against standards in itself, so how can you do it in a
standards compliant way?

Just an example. A quick search to find.
A quick search can also find out how to use blink tags and
tables for
layout. That is a good example of worst practises.
Yes we all know that you should always use

Re: [WSG] is there a way to force legend text shows in TWO lines?
From: tee [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Wed, 26 Nov 2008 18:04:09 -0800 Subject: is there a way to force legend text shows in TWO lines? 1) Can anyone absolutely positively confirm that without legend a site will cause suffering to screen reader's user or cause a traumatic effect to accessibility? I think that whether or not a legend is essential depends on the length and content of your form. If it's a multipage extravaganza then legends would certainly have accessibility benefits, but if it's just a simple form, with no distinct sets of questions, then just correctly using labels etc would satisfy most people. Using headers, legends and labels to indicate the same information has got to be more of an annoyance than anything. I have found instances where a header, hidden legend, hidden label all read name. *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ***

Re: [WSG] Fw: The Great Firewall of Australia
Thanks for the detailed précis of the iinet situation. Next time I get booked for speeding on the Sydney - Newcastle freeway, I think I'll sue the RTA. Well, after all, they provided me with the road ;-) Or maybe if you do speed, and don't get caught, then you can sue the Police for failing to enforce their terms of service. The IIA has been lobbying against filtering for yonks.

The website previously mentioned (http://nocleanfeed.com/) is also a good place to start if you want to take action. I'm extremely concerned about this plan (and have been since I heard about it a months ago) because at first it seemed like everyone in a position of power thought it was a good idea... despite the fact that their filtering trials clearly showed that a mandatory filter wasn't feasible with the technology currently available. Luckily (and I apologise if this has already been mentioned in a previous email), iiNet--an Australian ISP--has signed up to the live testing that is due to begin mid-December. They have said that they will take part in this test to demonstrate to the government how ineffective an ISP level filter is at the present time. You can check out what they have to say about it on their website: http://www.iinet.net.au/about/news/internet_filtering.html Unfortunately, iiNet have received bad press lately because of a lawsuit brought upon them by the AFACT (Australian Federation Against Copyright Theft--see http://www.lawfont.com/2008/11/21/the-case-against-iinet/ for more info). However, some are saying that this case and iiNet's position on the mandatory filtering scheme are connected (which is why the AFACT went after iiNet and not a larger ISP like Telstra Bigpond), but I'll let you make your own mind up about the link between the two. (See http://defendingscoundrels.com/2008/11/iinet-lawsuit-no-coincidence.html for more.) Don't get me wrong--anything that can stop something that is as horrible as child porn I support. But I honestly do not think this has any chance of working. Please do what you can to help stop this filter going ahead.

RE: [WSG] the Name attribute
Stuart's point is that blinking content violates checkpoint 7.2 of the W3C
Web Content Accessibility Guidelines:
Until user agents allow users to control blinking, avoid causing content to
blink (i.e., change presentation at a regular rate, such as turning on and
off)

Re: [WSG] the Name attribute
It may validate, but valid code is just a pre-requisite to achieving
standards compliance.
