Re: [WSG] css tutorial
Marvin, You may want to try checking out the W3Schools at http://www.w3schools.com/css/default.asp That site should provide you with way more than enough information to do a couple of tutorials..

Re: [WSG] vallidation nightmares
Marvin, Please remember to send us the url of the page you're having trouble with so that we can look at it. Don't assume that the list members keep a list of everyone's pages handy so that we can just jump up and go help them at the drop of a hat. Without including the right url, everytime you have an inquiry, we're lost. As for W3C's validator, it's not being picky, it's trying to teach you to use complete and finished coding so that you're sites pages will appear great in browser's people use, whether or not it uses JAWS or other assistive technology to do so...

Re: [WSG] Century Gothic for web
Hi Lara, Would depend where you got your Century Gothic font to begin with, usually they (the font foundry you got it from originally (it looks like the font was originally made and offered for sale by Monotype Imaging)) have permissions right up front on what usage is permissable. At this time the font is now 5 years old and being offered free for web use from what I could find out for you, but double checking can never hurt.

Re: [WSG] Wamp, Accessibility, How To Reset Passwords In My Sql
Marvin,
Although this goes way off topic for this forum, the localhost password
you've got there should be root and the password pwd.
When the form asks for the server write localhost, and if that fails use
host and you should be in. There isn't a password for localhost,
that is unless you've done a very strange install and going away from the
wamp install lines. Good luck mate...
