Re: [WSG] Can't select text on IE
This does in fact occur when absolutely positioned divs collide on top of each other. There aren't exactly workarounds...it just means that you either deal with it, or you redevelop your website with a bit more care, or just use floats (if they can suffice). espn.com is an infamous site that produces this effect. also try http://veerle.duoh.com Good luck eh, Dustin Diaz http://www.dustindiaz.com/ On 11/16/05, Hassan Schroeder [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Paul Noone wrote: Why do you want to select the text?

Re: [WSG] css title styles
I had created a pretty nifty library for displaying titles just not too long ago called Sweet Titles which had became quite a hit: http://www.dustindiaz.com/sweet-titles/ They were tested to work across IE6, Moz1.0+, Opera 7+, Safari 1.3 Hope this helps, Dustin On 11/4/05, Sarah Peeke (XERT) [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi all I am trying to find a web standards compliant way of styling a title for a description of references within an article.

Does anyone have any other ideas/suggestions? Presently the site has a link to the bottom of the page which lists all the references, which is OK, except that the reader loses their place when they return to the article.

I suspect it is IE calling the server and downloading the bg images again.
The problem and solutions are described here:

Re: [WSG] injecting an extra hook with javascript
I completely dooced the onload. If you're using one of the infamous addEvent methods, you could just do this: addEvent(window,'load',insertSpan); Dustin On 11/2/05, Anders Nawroth [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: James Gollan skrev: You mentioned that you wanted to be able to see it when you view the source - is that important? http://jennifermadden.com/scripts/ViewRenderedSource.html FF extension to see the rendered source ! /AndersN ** 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 **

just say i have markup like this:
--
div id =utility
ul
lia href=List Item/a/li
lia href=List Item/a/li
lia href=List Item/a/li
/ul
/div
-
and for one reason or another I *dont* have access to the html markup.
Then an intricate design comes along that requires an extra hook (a span
tag) to be inserted inside each a href/a tag.
is it possible to use javascript (1) to insert a span tag inside each a
href on the fly so its not in the markup - but would be there if you were
able to view the rendered source? you know what i mean - dynamically
changing the dom... or something
can you tell i know nothing about javascript? :)
any help appreciated.
cheers, pete
(1) - of course, without javascript list items would still be accessible -
they just wouldnt have the nice design inticacies

Re: [WSG] graphic design for standards sites.
Try some of these books: Designing with Web Standards (Jeffrey Zeldman) Web Standards Solutions (Dan Cederholm) Bullet Proof Web Design (Dan Cederholm) Designing without Tables using CSS (Dan Shafer) You can google all those. As far as a Graphic Designer having a good background on tableless layouts, I'm not sure that's something to be looking for. If the guy is a great designer, then he's a great designer. It's generally up to the developer to mark it up correctly. It's also up to developers to synch up with the designer so they're on the same page come transition time. - Dustin Diaz On 10/29/05, Jad Madi [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, Fortunately my manager is wise enough to think about standards.
