Re: [WSG] hello
I've been vaguely following this discussion and thought I would step in here. Web 2.0 IS a buzzword that means to do nothing more than to imply the next step of the web as a communications medium. You could replace the term with new and improved. It has been coined to describe the phenomina of web applications such as Myspace, Facebook, Flikr, Wikipedia; any web application that enables the democratization and mass interaction of web-based information regardless of its background programming language. World of Warcraft and now the XBox 360 could be lumped in there too. On Fri, Feb 15, 2008 at 1:09 AM, Larry Swanson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: As I understand it, Web 2.0 is about the web as a platform, as a medium for collaboration and collective wisdom, about user-generated content, about databases (and what you do with them), about processes as opposed to products, about never-ending design and development cycles, about technologies like XML, RSS, and AJAX. For more details, go to the source, Tim O'Reilly's elaboration on the conversation that spawned the term Web 2.0: http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/oreilly/tim/news/2005/09/30/what-is-web-20.html (or if that URL's too long: http://tinyurl.com/743r5 ) Cheers, Larry At 2/15/2008 12:11 AM Friday, you wrote: So web2.0 is the mixture of scripts, tools.. etc.. am i rite? -- Regards.

Re: [WSG] Converting the heathen: never again
I have been courting disaster with a potential client on these points exactly. I am risking losing a potentially valuable contract with my standardista (and I am pretty moderate) standpoint. Heck, I'd just like to get their sites to validate, but they are old-skool asp guys who learned all there was to learn 7 years ago. Sheesh, is it worth it?

[WSG] DHTML/CSS dropdown menu
I have been trying to get Thierry's TJKDropdown http://www.tjkdesign.com/articles/dropdown/demo.asp menu to work, but the js has me over a barrel. IE Win (surprise) is exploded to reveal the whole menu and I think it has to do with how the js is (or isn't) linked to my page.I realise that I don't need all of the css on these sheets (and that there are validation errors), but I have left it all there until I fix this issue at which point I will weed it down to the bare necessities. Any help would be appreciated.page here:http://www.fractal.ca/testasite/LNS/index2.html(way too many) css files here: http://www.fractal.ca/testasite/LNS/css/dontmesswiththis.csshttp://www.fractal.ca/testasite/LNS/css/LNS2B.css http://www.fractal.ca/testasite/LNS/css/menu2.csshttp://www.fractal.ca/testasite/LNS/css/msie.css—pd—
Re: [WSG] Site Check (eStore)
Looks good on FF, OS10.3.9 The menu tab slides away when the window is resized too small, but it is not likely people will go as far as I did.

Re: [WSG] Playing a MIDI
MIDI files are considerably smaller than WAV and/MP3. They have a distinct sound however, being 100% synthesis. pd On 6/30/05, Bert Doorn [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: G'day Besides, going back to Angus' original post: I also chose MIDI because WAV and/MP3 would take to long to download.

[WSG] can you hack the alt tag open?
Sorry for the cross posting. Is it possible to serve up the textual contents of an alt tag, outside of the tag? In other words, can I make the stuff inside the alt tag as important as the document contents? I'm not exactly sure what I am asking here... I don't have the vocabulary. I want Googlebots to *really* see my alt tags and give them as much weight as the regular content of my website. ::pd::
Re: [WSG] can you hack the alt tag open?
So theoretically... If I use images and make them as, redundantly linking them to their current page, I could deliver text to google from within the alt tag? And Google will give it as much weight as the main content text of the site? ::pd:: On 4/22/05, Lea de Groot [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Fri, 22 Apr 2005 00:02:47 -0700, Paul Dwyer wrote: Is it possible to serve up the textual contents of an alt tag, outside of the tag?
