My test shows that "0 0 6px" is the closer I can get to make left/top  show in 
IE9, problem is, this will not work so well for Opera for the result I wanted.


0 0 3px cc works fine for me in IE9 on that "generator" page.


And a near future problem: I was hoping maybe in 6 months time it'll be safe to 
drop the vendor prefixes for a number of CSS3 elements including box-shadow. 
Should I do so I can never get the closer result across browsers. Am I right 
that if the vendor prefixes existed, browsers that can handle CSS3 native will 
still treat their prefixes?


IE9 and Firefox 4 work without prefix. Webkit should be coming around soon.

RE: [WSG] Colour Schemes for Accessibility

HI

 

According to your site use the pestle color themes. This will give you a
good contrast for the easily readability  for the aged persons. This theme
also give  you a good color theme also.

Hi. 
In terms of this, white text on a black background is what some people
prefer, but black text on a white background is proven to be the most
readable according to some research that was done. 
In terms of colour schemes it comes down to your branding strategy, but the
best way is to test a few out with various people with disabilities, of
various kinds to make sure items are readable.

Carl,

Thanks for checking! The issue had been solved so I deleted the site - it was a 
test site.

Thank you both! This helps!

I dug it further and found the cause. The application has a session cookie 
management, and you can set how it's being handled. The default is "use HTTP 
only", it looks like the Safari v5.0.5 has issue with this when a domain is not 
pointed to the server.

Please provide your Safari version. On my machine, it's v5.0.5 (6533.21.1) and 
I am getting an empty cart page (when cookies was empty I got a enable cookies

I just get the "enable cookies" page - Version 5.0.5 (6533.21.1) on

re: [WSG] Colour Schemes for Accessibility

Hi Seth,
I don't have exact info for you, but have a look at Section 3 of this document: 
http://www.texthelpdownloads.com/Mir
ror/pdfs/DyslexiaAndWebAccess.PDF
And also WebAIM 
provides a Colour Contrast Checker: http://webaim.org/resources/contrast
checker/ 
which is quite useful.
