Re: [WSG] Lengthy form buttons

2005-12-08 Thread Spark
 I must add, they work fine in IE / XP , if you are using the 'windows
classic' theme (without the fancy round buttons)

 Just to be more specific :D

 *I think* it's something to do with a different implementation of XP
 Visual Styles in Trident, but I don't know what the specific problem
 is (it could be as little as being a bug in the IE themes
 implementation that they just didn't fix, really).

 As far as I know IE uses a different interface to get the themed
 buttons than that of other Windows applications (note that the buttons
 are themed fine in Firefox and scale pretty well).

 The only way I can think to get around it would be to style the
 buttons with CSS, but you'll have to sacrifice the native look.

[WSG] xhtml DTD

2005-12-22 Thread Spark
 hya

 I use this W3C document as a reference to know which tag may go inside other:
 
http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/xhtml-modularization-19990406/DTD/doc/xhtml1-t.elt.html

 I never found nothing else like that (such a DTD visual
representation), but what I want to know is: is it the latest version
? how may I know that ?

 I checked today to answer a question about tags inside LI , and found
by this very document, you may use any H tags , but H1 . Would it be a
typo ?
http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/xhtml-modularization-19990406/DTD/doc/xhtml1-t.elt.html#li

 thank you

 No, it's not.

  how may I know that ?
 If you go to the beginning of the spec (remove the /DTD/... from the URI).
 http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/xhtml-modularization-19990406/

 Read the status and you'll see that it's an old working draft and that
 the latest version can be found at
 http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml-modularization/

 Yeah, i found that when i first tried, but could not found the *same*
document. If you compare both, you might notice the older one is quite
easier to read and understand at first sight.

 But actually, reading it more closely , i could understand better the
conventions used there. thank you.

 However, may I ask what your reason for choosing XHTML is?  If you're
 simply looking for a good reference for elements and their content
 models, the index of elements in HTML4 is more suitable for most authors.

 http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/index/elements.html

 Although is a useful list, it's not good for what I pointed: knowing
what can go inside what. Like can I put a Heading tag inside a DT?
(no) , or can a put an A here in the BODY ? (no , you can't). Does
anyone have any suggestion ? Might be some page outside W3C (since the
standards move quite slowly, i may use them for a few years :)

 Yes, it would be.  There is no h element in XHTML 1.x.
of course not,  but it could be used as an alias for a heading tag , like Hx .

Thank you, lachlan
Spark!

Re: [WSG] Target sued over non-accessible site

Just a quick note:

Here in Brazil, some of the big cities have more than 10% of their
buses adapted to wheelchairs. it's not that hard.
   See? it's always an excuse because they will spend money with
people who will not pay that bill.

 Discrimination is discrimination, no matter what excuses you wrap around
 it.
