Unless you wanted to use a nice anti-aliased font for the h1 text? If that's the case then I would just use sifr. SEO-wise you could only implement this on the homepage, otherwise you would have a duplicated h1 on all your web pages (providing the image had the same alt text). I wouldn't recommend using different alt text either when using the same image sitewide, as search engines may see that as keyword stuffing. I would keep them separate and have the alt text on the logo as your company name. Then have unique h1's as normal text on each page. I used to use a div with text in it for the logo, then css to add a background image and text indent to move the text off-screen. I changed back to an img tag as the alt text is more powerful for SEO purposes.

[WSG] Dropmenu accessibility and layout problem IE6
Seeking input and layout assistance (IE6, what else). I am considering using a Son of Suckerfish dropmenu for one item in my main nav bar. It is accessible to screenreaders but how - if it's even possible – can it be made keyboard accessible? For example, tab to the item in the menu > hit another key(?) to open the dropmenu > tab to chosen submenu item > hit enter. http://htmldog.com/articles/suckerfish/dropdowns/ Or is it wiser to forget the dropmenu approach altogether and have an intermediary page offering the submenu choices? Here is the page in development. See under 'Services' http://members.iinet.com.au/~generator/chem/index-new.php I work on a Mac and everything looks and functions perfectly in 5 different browsers. A colleague with IE7 has reported same. However, the layout is screwed in IE6: http://members.iinet.com.au/~generator/chem/grab.jpg Notice the dropmenu pushes content below it downwards and other menu items to the right. There also appears to be a problem with outer margins of the main content (which I do not see via browsershots.org). I have included the relevant css and js (both external files) below. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. TIA, Henrik - The menu is in a div with this css: #menu { height: 24px; width: 840px; margin-left: 30px; border-bottom: solid #636467 1px; float: left; margin-bottom: 30px; display: inline; } The other css for the menu is: #nav, #nav ul { list-style: none; padding: 0; margin: 0; line-height: 1; } #nav a { display: block; color: #636467; font-size: 1.2em; padding-bottom: 8px; } #nav a:hover { color: #E96D1F; } #nav li { float: left; margin-right: 24px; } #nav li ul { position: absolute; left: -999em; background-image: url(images/drop-bg.png); background-repeat: repeat; width: 170px; } #nav li li a { color: #FF; display: block; padding-left: 8px; padding-top: 6px; padding-bottom: -2px; width: 162px; } #nav li:hover ul, #nav li.sfhover ul { left: auto; } - And the javascript: sfHover = function() { var sfEls = document.getElementById("nav").getElementsByTagName("li"); for (var i=0; ihttp://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: memberh...@webstandardsgroup.org ***

Hi Jim, A couple of cents from downunder (in FF3, Camino, Safari / Mac). 1) The main horizontal menu bar breaks thru the blue border on the right 2) Maybe the drop menu would look better with a matching background image on the main category, rather than a solid blue block 3) I'd have contact us link / details prominent 4) Suggest font size is decreased and leading increased 5) Increase padding around footer content 6) Link text colour is a bit 'electric' blue (and the green, on hover, doesn't seem to associate with any other colour on the site) 7) What's that little globe about? 8) Purely personal view: everything looks a bit 'tabloid' busy and cluttered, which to me is kind of juxtaposed with the yoga vibe. 1) above should help to open up the layout but perhaps less use of bold (potentially even a font change to something less cold) will deliver a purer, classier, more whitespace, overall feel?

All looks fine in Mac browsers x5 and IE8b2 (according to netrenderer) but not in: IE6 - Mysterious margins are appearing between the header and the top menu and in both coloured boxes in the right hand column of the main content. IE6+7 - the coloured boxes are not 'expanding' to contain the content (in this case a floated image in both) I found this CSS as an alternative to a clearing div and it seems to fix things in other browsers - except those IE's: #NameofContainingDiv:after { clear: both; content: "."; display: block; height: 0px; visibility: hidden; } Would anyone be able to have a look?

[WSG] Accessibility testing
Hi all, I'm wrapping up a Government agency website. They have reams of design and usability standards. Some pretty pointless; others very valid - but no problem. Re. accessibility, they use ACTF aDesigner. http://www.eclipse.org/actf/downloads/tools/aDesigner/index.php And "our scores against WCAG v1.0 Level A" could apparently be improved. They have provided scores for star rating, compliance, navigability and listenability. Now, here's the thing. This software is only for PC. I'm Mac. Not very accessible eh? :) What similar software / online systems do people use and get reliable results (if reliable results are indeed attainable)? TIA.

Usability being a mark of quality or how easy a site is for user to achieve their goals on AND "how pleasant an experience it is". In the 80's and 90's it was very new and exciting to have some sound. However, very quickly became a nightmare as you had a horrid tune running all the time and could not switch it off without switching off your speakers. So, imo the most unobtrusive way would be to have an option to play the music or at least, if no option is to be given, only play the tune once. Best of luck in dissuading them. What I would do is show them the 10 most successful sites on the internet. Then show them a graph of the number of the top 10 that play "background music". Even the top 10 sites in their own area of business. That might bring them to their senses.

I have clients who insist they want background music on their Web site. I've tried to dissuade them, but without success. What is the most acceptable/least intrusive method of doing this? UK licensing requirements differ depending on whether the music is downloadable or not, so I need to sort out the method in order to advise them on the licences. I'm still hoping the complexities of the licensing system will succeed where I've failed and put them off the whole notion, but in case not, I'd be most grateful for some input here. Thank you.

One gotcha: Note that if the dropdown menu overlaps with a element, in IE6 the will bleed through the dropdown menu. My project was already using the jQuery library, so we used a plugin called jquery.bgiframe.js to insert an iframe 'shim', and then used conditional comments to serve this JavaScript only to IE6.

Re: [WSG] Fonts in MS Publisher compared to online

He sent me a draft in Publisher which I transformed into a website. The font for the header text (site title) is Times New Roman.

It is 2.5ems - I tried reducing the size but it did not reduce the chunkiness. According to Publisher, the style is Normal, 10pt, Main(Black), Kerning 14pt,Left, Line Spacing 1sp.

However, there are many more in which an image map doesn't make sense. For example, having a graphical menu with an image map, having a header image map for links, etc. These would be better done using separate images. Also, sometimes a scripted method might work best. For example, you could have each state a different image and different color. Instead of having to try to do a crazy 800 point polygon, you could do a script where it compares the color under the cursor when you click and determines which state you clicked on with high precision.

Re: [WSG] images against color backgrounds
.png with alpha channel is the best way to go. IE6 and lower can't handle the alpha channel and make the transparent background gray. Can be conditionally fixed with js, for example: http://www.dillerdesign.com/experiment/DD_belatedPNG/ Based on my site audience I'll make fallback .gif replacements for the .png images (that look crappier but are at least transparent) You can also make 8 bit .pngs (with no alpha channel) that behave just like .gif Joseph R.
