Re: [WSG] Styling legends and fieldsets (Out of office until Nov 1)

Thanks, Andy wsg 10/20/05 08:43 It depends how you want to style it mostly times you can whip moz and IE into shape (with margin, position, and padding) but I've always found Opera to be problematic. Usually I've had to revisit the visual design. Make a case that a form is a special information object (e.g. interactive) where it's constiuents need to be treated as a single unit, thus form elements need to be differentiated (visually) from the normal flow of the page. Legends aren't headings (in relation to the page), but labels that summarise a collection of form controls. kind regards Terrence Wood.

Thanks, Andy wsg 11/21/05 08:34 If you have to do it this way, and like everyone else I don't recommend it, then you could help the SEO by adding the pages in link tags to the head. see http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_link.asp for more info.

Unless you do provide some other form of navigation that links to those pages, you're effectively hiding your pages from search engines. The .net programmer could make the form controls server side but would putting a token list of the links in the footer solve the seo problems at all? ---Terrence--- Theres no way of breaking down the navigation into smaller chunks without creating a mystery meat situation. The brothercake dhtml menus seem like an option/last resort- but can a dhtml or css drop down menu force the page to scroll while a user follows a long list of links with the mouse? Here was the simple method that i suggested.. but the client has strong opinions against scrolling. http://mcmonagle.biz/dropdowns/ Here was another suggestion that i thought might work but they are not impressed. (view in ie) http://mcmonagle.biz/newoti/otinavtest.htm what about these simpler methods? thanks again kvnmcwebn ** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list getting help ** ** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list getting help **
