Marvin,
As I send over items I notice - for now forget about HTML 4.01 or HTML
5 and stay with XHTML for the moment.
Things to fix then get back to me:
Inside the div tag with the id of banner_new you have double break
tags surrounding both the first level heading and the image. I see the
same thing in the navigation area.
I'd rather see you use CSS to create those spaces.
For the heading element you could use this CSS:
div#banner_new h1 { margin: 20px 0; }
For the navigation:
div#navigation { margin: 20px 0; }
This would put a 20 pixel space at the top and bottom of the elements.
If you choose to leave the break tags in place (it's your call), you
need to add the forward slash prior to closing the tag so they validate.
Try those changes and get back to me.

Re: [WSG] Failed A Job :(
Which site? James Jeffery wrote: Big company, worldwide infact. A great one for the resume but I failed it. I was brought in at the end of the project to fix some bugs. Let me just say that from viewing the source it was majorly flawed! I spent 6 hours on it before handing in the towel right near their deadline. The CSS was unstructured, way to much repetition which was the cause of some bugs and errors. The only way out of that was to rewrite the whole lot. I mean the guys who were on this project were creating empty spans with classes to push elements along a page (like spacers). They had an empty h1 with a span inside it for the logo they placed in using CSS ... that was only a part of the issue. I don't question my knowledge. It's up to par and I have completed a number of jobs, but on this occasion I sucked ... or they sucked ... or both. This website will be released to the world, and millions will use it, but its awfully constructed, not semantic at all and its another case of a poor website on the web. Ah well. Lesson learn't.

Hi, Just tabbed through the page and the login form are the very last elements on the page to be hit, needs a lower tab-index, not very nice in terms of accessibility. cheers Luke Stewart Griffiths wrote: Harsh is fine, it's a critique / review we asked for ;o) Got rid of all but one error, which is a vb one, so will work on finding that. As for breaking when the text is increased, well, as you state this is due to the way vb spits out the code. But we can work on that going forward.

Hmm. Just looked at the homepage. Pointless XHTML formedness errors, lack of heading elements, table layouts, presentational markup, inline styles, obtrusive JavaScript, unnecessary browser detection, presentational class names, and a layout that begins to break with only two text size steps up (at least in Safari) may be byproducts of vBulletin but they undercut the site's ostensible purpose of discussing professional web development in a way that I find hard to overlook given you've adopted a self-hosted solution for the forum. More subjectively, I think the random bits of sans-serif (menu links at the side and some of the menu links at the top) look discordant, the lack of contrast between the brown backgrounds and darker brown text may make the content hard to read for some users (I'd suggesting using coffee text on white instead of brown text on brown), and the icons in the left-hand navigation menu look too randomly generic.

Re: [WSG] Checking My Page
Hi Marvin,
Wow a flash back to web design circa 1997.
Well it does pass XHTML transitional, so plus there.
In terms of css errors well you really shouldn't be placing styling
information in id attributes i.e. id=Borg; width: 400px; margin: 1% auto;
Your positioning breaks (text and images in the wrong places) when the
window is resized.
Frankly I haven't seen such a bad design in years, the only way you
could make it better is to add this style to the css
* |{text-decoration: blink}|
||
|Check out some css gallery sites for better design ideas. Do the
original design as an image in Photoshop or similar, then cut up the
xhtml and css working from your design.|

To get a hover working in IE6, you'd need to change your CSS like so:
.project:hover{background-color:#D1D1D1;}
becomes
.project a:hover { background-color: #D1D1D1; }
and add a rule:
.project a { display: block; }
See how that goes.

Hi Laert,
I don't have IE6 on this machine, but looking at your CSS I can
see that you are attempting to apply the :hover pseudo-class to a
a DIV (div.project). Normally this would be fine, But IE6 does not
support :hover on any element other than an a anchor. My
recommendation would be to change those DIVs to anchors, give them
display: block; float: left; or however you want to do it. With
regard to div.hr, I would recommend instead using an actual hr
element and applying some CSS to it. HR styling can be a bit
fiddly at times, but this article seems to cover it all nicely:

Re: [WSG] CSS invisible to IE
Hi,
This list isn't really a help desk. For such things Google is your friend.
Anyway, there are various methods/hacks available. My preference is to
use child selectors
eg
#container .something {
/* this will be used in ie6 */
}
#container .something {
/* this will be used in firefox and ie7 and safari etc*/
}
the order is important
if you want ONLY FF to have the rule applied (I cannot imagine why) try
using some of the -moz attributes that may be applicable

Re: [WSG] Uppercase Tag Names
Write you markup in lowercase then parse it with a regex into uppercase before you hand it in. Really the uppercase is fine just bad style especially if you're moving on to XHTML. On 26/09/2008, at 21:38, James Jeffery [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I am at university at the moment, and they said to use uppercase text for tag names and lowercase for attributes. I have to do it because otherwise I will lose a mark. I disagreed (because it makes the source hard to read) but he said you need to so that you can conform to HTML 4.01. I think this a case of someone reading far to deep into the specs. I didn't really want to argue with him because he assumes I know nothing. I do know that the source code has become difficult to read using that method. *** 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] 100% height over existing page
Depending on what/whether you're using anything server side, just set a session variable that records whether the person has agreed to the terms, do this across every page and no worries for Google or any other entry that doesn't come from the front page. regards Luke Seona Bellamy wrote: Hmm... not really an option here. It needs to have the potential to appear on any page, so that if someone finds an internal page through Google or gets a link sent to them by a friend, they still see the disclaimer / warning. At the moment I've sort of solved the problem for users with JS - if the disclaimer is showing, I set the body's overflow to hidden so you can't scroll. It still means that non-JS users get that ugly cut-off, though. I'll live with it if I have to, but would certainly prefer not to have to. :) Cheers, Seona. 2008/7/31 Adam Martin [EMAIL PROTECTED]: The easiest way would be to have an entry page instead.

Doesn't have to be a separate divert page, you can just use the session variable to decided whether the overlay element is displayed on each page regards Luke Seona Bellamy wrote: What, and divert them to the agreement page if they'rve not agreed?

Re: [WSG] Css validation
hi,
not sure what's going on in your CSS exactly.
but behavior is non-standard, it's a microsoft thing. with that png fix
I don't think you'll ever get it to validate but I could be wrong.
what's the hash (#) in front of min-height, is min-height an id? and
which element or selector is it applied to.
maybe we would have abetter idea of what's going on if you posted more
of the CSS

Hi Fuji - Not sure what type of hacks you have used in, presumably
thinking some of these types
like _ and * for IE versions.
Those _ * will show errors when you validate, better option to
use conditional comments

Re: [WSG] Keywords for text-less site?
Hi Lyn, As mentioned make sure you are using the description meta with appropriate tags. Also make sure that the page title above the menu bar is sufficiently detailed e.g. Artist Name - Image Name c Image replacement on the site title is a good idea, just offset the html text sufficiently that it's not seen in the browser window. Then you have the painting title make sure you use H1s for those and do the image replacement thing as well. And as you said make sure the alt text is accurate. Luke Lynette Smith wrote: I am about to start a site that is going to be basically several image gallery site pages. My client is an artist. I asked for some text for the site but she doesn't want clutter. She asked: how does it work with key words I realise i have not included many. are they necessary these days and if so can they be incorporated to suit search engines without visually disturbing the presentation. She basically wants the website to look the same as the Power Point Presentation which is what I am working from. The problem is that what text there is - site title and subtitle, navigation menu names and individual painting titles- is in a very obscure font Andy that seems to be obsolete. A quick search of the web revealed it was used in several programmes late 80's/early 90's and doesn't seem to be available as a free download. I asked if I could change the font but apparently all her printed matter is in this particular font so she wants to use it on the website. I can use image replacement for the title but I would really like to use a standard font for the rest. I suppose I will have to rely on ALT text. Is there anything else I should consider? Thanks.

Re: [WSG] Firefox 3 candidate
Firebug (1.20b3 seems stable) and web developer toolbar both are now compatible with FF3. Make sure you get the versions from the Mozilla Add-ons pages as these are currently the most up to date. On a PC if you need to run both FF3and FF2 you can run the portable versions of either of them from http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable. http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable.%3C/p check the bottom of the page for FF2 links. On a mac do a search for portable or standalone firefox and there are instructions around showing you how to set up a second profile so that they don't interfere with each other. Jason Grant wrote: It will replace it even if you install into different directory. :-( Then it means you are not going to have your FireBug available to work with. FF3 is very nice and I am excited. Just can't wait for FireBug to become compatible with it as it is so crucial for us of course.
