Hi Bob, You make a good point. But the reason I don't use new windows isn't accesibility. It's an irritation at having new windows opened for me. Being a firefox user, I open in a new tab when I want to and in the current otherwise. People know what they want, generally, and are able to

Hi Chris, Looks pretty good to me. Looks very good in fact. Just one tiny niggle. If images are turned off but style sheets are used, your footer links are invisible, as is your title link! I'm fairly certain this isn't a good thing ;). This is why the img alt= method is generally used,

Hi, I was even more surprised to find an entire Australian government department website not only uses an effective table-free design, not only has a website which is at least partially accessible, not only does it collapse well when styling is removed, it is also XHTML 1.0 conformant!

Re: [WSG] XHTML Strict alternative to ol start=11

2005-02-07 Thread Michael Cordover
See, I'd say a table or a definition list. I think I'm one of the very few people who actually supports the loss of the start= attribute. An ordered list means there is an order, *not* that there is anything particular assocated with that order. So, think about it in terms of set theory, if you

Re: [WSG] *Why* doesn't Google validate? was New logo scheme was talking points for standards

2005-12-08 Thread Michael Cordover
I think that Google's failure to validate may be due to the simple issue of bandwidth. Certainly on the main page, the whole source is compressed and effectively minimised. Bandwidth is expensive these days. Inserting a doctype, separating style data, that sort of thing, takes a lot of
