Re: [WSG] Firefox is a pushover
I would begin by installing Firebug and Yslow extensions in FF. There's also a HTML validator based on Tidy that could be handy, but you get the same level of validation w/ Firebug so no need to install both (although I happen to have). Other extensions worth having: Web developer Toolbar. I think there's also a IE version. /lmss 2007/11/21, Chris Price <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > I build websites on a Mac and have to check my websites on another > machine in order to view them in IE. > > I experience the usual issues with IE applying css differently than > Firefox but my biggest frustrations, lately, have come from errors in my > html that Firefox has happily ignored but IE has faithfully shown up. > > Its traditional to knock IE6 for its non-compliance but its done a good > job of validating my html lately. > > I would like to get my Firefox to toughen up and show up errors in the > html without having to submit it to a validator? > > The problem usually comes from missing closing tags. > > Kind Regards > -- > Chris Price > > Choctaw > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > http://www.choctaw.co.uk > > Tel. 01524 825 245 > Mob. 0777 451 4488 > > Beauty is in the Eye of the Beholder > while Excellence is in the Hand of the Professional > > ~~~ > -+- Sent on behalf of Choctaw Media Ltd -+- > ~~~ > > Choctaw Media Limited is a company > registered in England and Wales > with company number 04627649 > > Registered Office: > Lonsdale Partners, > Priory Close, > St Mary's Gate, > Lancaster LA1 1XB > United Kingdom > > > > > *** > List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm > Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm > Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > *** > > *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ***

Re: [WSG] Idiot's guide to JavaScript
I recommend http://www.tizag.com/javascriptT/ - they have a lot of other tutorials as well. Very easy to follow, all the way through. /lmss 2007/11/14, Olly Hodgson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > On Nov 14, 2007 9:44 PM, Chris Knowles <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Rob Mason wrote: > > > > > I am looking for a really basic, plain English guide to JavaScript. > > > > I highly rate this book - easy to read and understand: > > http://www.quirksmode.org/book/ > > http://domscripting.com/book/ is very good too. > > > -- > Olly > http://thinkdrastic.net/ > > > *** > List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm > Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm > Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > *** > > *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ***

We're using YUI grids at www.dona.dk. I'll never use anything else again, if I can help it! /lmss 2007/10/31, Maarten Stolte <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Hi, > > > We've been using the YUI for a while.
