RE: [WSG] Accessible Image Map Editors

2009-10-26 Thread Foskett, Mike
Image maps are the only thing I still use Adobe's Dreamweaver for.
It's good at it.

Note:
1. Use meaningful alt text.
2. Do not use small clickable areas.
3. Use both name and id on attributes on the map element.

Regards

Mike

[WSG] Re: International SMS Provider

2009-10-26 Thread Cp Master

 Hi,

 I'm looking for an international sms provider (paid, not free).
 I need to send sms messages from my PHP application to users cellphones,
 using PHP or any other server-side language.

 I have experience sending sms from my apps within my country, but here the
 users going to be from all over the world.
 So I need it to be international.

 Thanks, Asaf.

I presume you’re using the image map to illustrate a particular principle 
and encourage interaction in some way? What I’m getting at is there a 
pedagogic principle at work here? So making the image maps accessible may 
allow users to navigate through to other content etc. But if the image map 
is underpinning some particular approach to the delivery of learning that 
is highly visual and interactive in nature you may need to provide an 
alternative learning approach rather then just making the image map 
accessible. 

An extreme example to try and illustrate my point. You design an 
interactive activity where you say to students meet at the top of a long 
flight of stairs where we will discuss the effects of exercise on heart 
rate. Using a lift could provide an accessible alternative for someone in 
wheelchair to get to the discussion. But this wouldn’t achieve part of the 
outcome of the lesson; that is to experience first hand the effects of 
exercise on heart rate. In this case you may need to re-design exercise to 
make it accessible, i.e. use a hill instead of stairs.

I think Bruce Lawson's tribute from a few years ago is also quite

Re: [WSG] Anchor tag without href

2009-10-26 Thread Nathanael Boehm
Hi Naveen,

Sure you can for named anchors with document fragment identifiers, but AFAIK
all modern browsers (and I'm not sure which ones if any didn't) support the
use of using *any* HTML element to link to using a doc frag ID.

For example the URL:

http://www.example.com#contact

could link to:

a id=contact /

or straight to the relevant header:

h2 id=contactContact/h2

Cheers,

Nathanael Boehm

Re: [WSG] Anchor tag without href

2009-10-26 Thread nedlud
Don't forget that old school named anchors actually used the name
attribute...

a name=some_targetthe target/a

Then linked to it the same way you would for any tag with an id...

a href=#some_targetclick here/a

I think IE6 still requires this technique.
