Re: [WSG] Fixed-position menus?

Cat, You can always use javascript to move the menu as you scroll to overcome IE6 lacking. As far as how important is IE6? I guess that depends on your audience. The sites I work on have a (sadly) large percentage of IE6 users (10% +/-) Joseph R. B. Taylor /Web Designer / Developer/ ---

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. 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

Re: [WSG] images against color backgrounds

Good point on the javascript repairs (there are a couple techniques of fixing .png support in IE6) Trouble with this method is it can cause other troubles (like links over .png backgrounds etc) so be careful. It all depends on what you're trying to do. Joseph R. B. Taylor /Web Designer / Dev

Re: [WSG] disallow IE6 to load the main style sheet

My 2 cents, Your approach towards IE6 should be dictated by your site's audience. Watch your stats. If you have a lot of IE6 visitors, don't they deserve a decent page? If they're potential customers, wouldn't you want them to go through and make a transaction? Think of the poor people using

If you're using a lightbox you must have some javascript in there somewhere so: You can use javascript to detect your viewport size and only fire your lightboxes if it's of a certain size. *Joseph R. B. Taylor* /Web Designer/Developer/ -- Sites by Joe /"Cle

Re: [WSG] HTML5 v. HTML 4.x

I use HTML5 as my doctype, but I don't use the new tags. It's wise to be very concerned about backwards compatibility. Are they more semantic - I suppose. If IE doesn't understand the new tags I'd leave them be until another day. *Joseph R. B. Taylor* /Web Designer/Developer/

Re: [WSG] Breaking validation using noscript - Is there a solution?

Not sure what to recommend for the noscript tag - Frank's idea is pretty good. Just a thought, is the error really critical if it works? Using XHTML Strict, you're gonna have a tough time making the validator happy. Nice job on the Tesco site by the way. Real nice. I especially like the two

Re: [WSG] media queries: device-width vs max/min width

Tee, I agree with your thinking regarding a desktop user getting the 320px wide layout. It can seem silly. At the same time, responsive design isn't supposed to be something "visible" but something "invisible". I doubt desktop users are ever resizing their browser windows and gasping in asto
