[WSG] a Div tag won't pick up the height of a floated image?
Will a div tag pick up the height of an image that is floated left? I have an image that is floated to the left and an unordered list that I am trying to get to move to the right side of an image, in a horizontal layout...the unordered list (navigation bar) is also in a horizontal line position. I need the navigation to align to the bottom of the image...the image's height is 100px, and the width is 200px...how would I accomplish this? -- Brett P. *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: memberh...@webstandardsgroup.org ***
Re: [WSG] a Div tag won't pick up the height of a floated image?
Brett, not sure if I understood you correctly but this seems easily solved byt clearing the float with your navigation bar. If I read this right - you are talking about 2 different lists? One to be positioned next to the image, the other (navigation bar) to sit below image and list? in that case: 1. image floated left 2. your ul (following the image in the HTML) will be positioned right, next to the image 3. the navigation bar's ul then needs to be given 'clear: left' in the CSS in order to sit below both the image and first list Hope this helps - and sorry if I misunderstood ;) Prisca On Mon, Feb 16, 2009 at 6:25 PM, Brett Patterson inspiron.patters...@gmail.com wrote: Will a div tag pick up the height of an image that is floated left?

Re: [WSG] Accessibility testing
On Firefox (fx) with web developer extension, add ATRC web accessibility checker (testing; sometimes temporary down) against WCAG 2.0, WCAG 1.0, BITV, Stanca Act, Section 508. Open the tools menu of its extension: Edit tools Add choose (tool type) URL add: http://checker.atrc.utoronto.ca/servlet/Checkacc?submit1=Check+Itfile= give some description OK I guess colour contras analyser extension (luminosity contrast ratio [WCAG 2.0] and AERT colour contrast algorithm) is useful And try FireVox extension for the speech reader on fx. -- Regards, Dani Iswara http://daniiswara.net/ daniisw...@gmail.com *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: memberh...@webstandardsgroup.org ***

[WSG] object element in front of all content
Hi All, I am putting together a basic cross browser wysiwyg using the object element instead of an iframe to display the html, as the object element is standards compliant. The object is used to display another html page like so: object name=textEditorObject id=textEditorObject data=test_page/test.htm type=text/html /object However my problem is with IE, when I open my floating div for a dialog box it renders behind the object and any amount of z-index toggling or adding param name=wmode value=opaque; (which works or flash) doesn't work. Does anyone have a solution to this or do I just have to work around it? Like so: !--[if IE] iframe name=textEditorObject id=textEditorObject src=test_page/bluemoo.htm /iframe ![endif]-- !--[if !IE] -- object name=textEditorObject id=textEditorObject data=test_page/bluemoo.htm type=text/html /object !-- ![endif]-- Although this would be a big branch for ie.

Re: [WSG] object element in front of all content
Why not just use a transitional doctype?
