[WSG] cross-browser or vendor-specific CSS

2012-06-29 Thread Kevin Erickson
Hi, I am asking if anyone uses  http://ecsstender.org/ to write CSS
cross-browser code or, if not, what are you using to write CSS
cross-browser or vendor-specific code?
Many thanks!

Kevin

 Hi Kevin,
 
 The answer is in your e-mail. You have created a page using a version of 
 XHTML for which the correct MIME type is application/vnd.wap.xhtml+xml 
 or application/xhtml+xml
 
 but you're sending text/html so there is a mismatch, hence the warning.
 
 The recommended markup for  mobile is now XHTML Basic 1.1 for which the 
 appropriate MIME type is application/xhtml+xml but if you're sending to 
 a device that doesn't support that (essentially just IE) then you'll 
 need to do as you are doing and use text/html.
 
 However... this is a warning, not a failure, so you may decide just to 
 leave things as they are ;-)
 
 Presumably you got this warning from the mobi Ready tool? This uses the 
 same core code as the W3C mobileOK checker 
 http://validator.w3.org/mobile/ (although we've added a lot of extra UI 
 stuff over the last year or so).

To test the page I used http://ready.mobi/launch.jsp?locale=en_EN and the
error says:

 

Incorrect or missing MIME types were detected

The MIME types sent by servers give very important information to browsers
as to how to treat a document. If incorrect MIME types are sent with a
document, it may prevent the browser from correctly interpreting the
document and failing to render a document. 

For XHTML-MP, the recommended MIME type is application/vnd.wap.xhtml+xml or
application/xhtml+xml. Unlike HTML, XHTML-MP should not be served as
text/html.

Web servers are often set up correctly for common document types such as
HTML and CSS, but often do not have the correct doc types for XHTML-MP.
Please refer to mobiForge http://mobiforge.com  for instructions on how to
set up your MIME types correctly.

 WARN
MIME type was detected as text/html

 

I would send a link to the page but it is on a secure server.

Thank you very much for any help on this,

 

Kevin

[WSG] Help with mobile MIME type always fails test

2010-04-16 Thread Kevin Erickson
Hello all,
I am hoping someone can help me with a MIME for mobile sites problem I am
having. I have a page,
http://devel.virginiainteractive.org/demo/portalredesign2010/mobile/mobile_p
ages/, that will not pass the test for mobile MIME type using the
http://mobiready.com/launch.jsp mobile site tester. I have tested other big
brand mobile sites for government and commercial and none seem to pass this
either. Can someone please advise?

Thank you very much,
Kevin

Re: [WSG] Accesbility Help

2008-09-04 Thread kevin erickson
It seems the best alternative might be to have the ability to call you or  
contact you in some way for verification for handicapped individuals.


regards,
kevin


This is a mixed question, I have a contact form that I'm
building. I want to add a human verifier to the forms but not a captcha  
one

because they are far from accessible, I'm not that good at PHP though to
figure it out, I already use the Mikes Green Beast form for general  
contact
but this will be to process order request. I've trawled the internet but  
all

I can find is captcha solutions, can any one point me in the right
direction?

reCAPTCHA sounds good. I tried it out and the audio for vision impaired  
visitors worked fine.
The service seems to be free and is set up to digitize old books that  
cannot be scanned, literally, one word at a time. Pretty amazing!

Hi,
I've seen this captcha service and, according to their website, it's
accessible to blind users. I didn't check it, so I don't know... anyway,

Basically it looks like there's no MSAA support. If they don't address  
this,

many large organisations (at least in the UK) will not use it. I imagine
that such organisations are exactly the people Google are expecting to

applications using Chrome, so hopefully this will be addressed at some
point, ideally before it comes out of beta.

So as one professional to another, please keep your comments

Andrew if you are so afraid of negative comments, don't post at all.
My

before you start sprouting your mouth off...

I used that development platform as an EXAMPLE of similar
discussions had
in the past where people got uppity... I was not referring to now..

To paraphrase yourself Andrew If you have something of value, then
don't
bring it to the forum

Why can people not realize that they are not the end all and be all,
and my
main point was this. Those with less skills than professionals like
myself
(and Andrew I don't know I haven't seen his work) will ask questions
to
learn and to grow as developers...

If we as a community want a unified web standard and it to be widely
used
and accepted, we need to encourage, help and support those who are
still
learning...

Why is that so hard for you to fathom Andrew?

I suspect there is more than a grain of truth in both David and
Adams views.

If places like this are to reach the widest possible audience they
must be
accessible to all (with reason); ditto to be a usable standards
debating
forum we should be debating the finer points not spending ALL our
time on
what the experts among us may consider to be trivial.

Two suggestions;

[1]That we all take a moment to consider those who may know a
little
less than we on a specific subject and attempt to use plain English
when
replying;  thus to help others along the way.

[2]When responding to eager questioners such as Michael suggest
that
they take the conversation off the forum; but please bring it back
when a
conclusion has been reached as I suspect I lot of equally eager thread
watchers may be keen to know the answer too.

I will now return to lurking
