Re: [WSG] Century Gothic for web
hi Lara, Century Gothic is not a free font: http://www.identifont.com/show?1N2 My suggestion is to find a similar font type to Century Gothic in Google Web Font (open source fonts) and embed the font from there: http://www.google.com/webfonts cheers, steven On 12/12/2011, at 2:22 PM, Lara Atechian wrote: Hi, I am working on re-designing a website, and will be using Century Gothic for headings.

I checked many websites, there is nothing certain that says buy a licence or it's a free generic font.

Re: [WSG] CSS support of HTML5 tags not ready yet?
Also ran into an issue when i was using js templating with html5 tags. Html5
shiv only ran once when the document loads. Either need call it again or use
html4 tags. I am choosing html4 tags for now. Sigh.

Yes
To clarify though: the DOM will be messed up in IE without the JS training
wheels (document.createElement('header') etc) telling it that there's these
new elements. For instance, if I recall correctly, having something like
headerblah/header
will make IE think that there are a header element and a /header element,
so the DOM will look something like
header
textnode
/header
where the three are siblings, rather than
header
-- textnode
where textnode is child of the header node

Re: [WSG] CSS support of HTML5 tags not ready yet?
No, it doesn't. But if you use html5 tags in your templating, then it might. Just something to watch out for. One of my templates create a section and header for about 20 times.

All the HTML5 shiv is doing is calling document.createElement against a list of tag names, there's nothing to stop you running that same code before your templating.

Re: [WSG] CSS support of HTML5 tags not ready yet?
Sure. :)
The issue i am encountering is when I generate HTML on the fly using js
templates. I have a couple of templates written with sections and headers tags.
Because html5 shiv only create the elements on document loads, it will not work
the html5 tags that gets appended to the document later. IE keeps throwing an
object undefined error.
I didn't realize this can be a bit of issue until i started work on it. I could
modify the templating js to create the elements, but not sure whether it is
worth the trouble at this stage.
So watch out if you rely on js libraries that do something like this:
$(body).append(sectionsomething/section);
$(section).text(new something); // this line will throw an error in IE.
Hope that makes sense.

Sorry, I'm not sure what you're saying here: no it doesn't what? It might
what?
One of my templates create a section and header for about 20 times.
I'm not sure why that would matter? The main problem the html5shiv is trying
to solve is that IE doesn't allow CSS to be applied to elements it doesn't
recognise. If you call document.createElement('section') and
document.createElement('header') then, from then onwards, IE will apply CSS
to section and header elements. It doesn't matter how many elements of any
type there are.
Can you be more clear about the problem you encountered?

Re: [WSG] CSS support of HTML5 tags not ready yet?
Nice setup. Thanks for explaining it better than I do. ;) Load html5shiv, use innerHTML to create element, change with jQuery (works in IE8): http://www.boogdesign.com/examples/html5shiv-inner-jquery.html Strange, I expected the innerHTML part to fail. Any idea why that works? So it looks like this is the broken part: $(body).append(sectionsomething/section); If you create the element with other methods, the next line works fine.

Re: [WSG] query on HTML5 nav tag
#1 seems the most logical to me. Because I see them as different nav types, not as a whole site navigation.

Re: [WSG] javascript errors still
Hi Marvin, As for your pasted code, unfortunately it's very difficult to debug without actually running the application and see how the error occurs. What you can do maybe is to try the IE8 Developer tools (I haven't used it much), and see if the error happens on a certain line number, then copy and paste the function where the line occurs and also any relating functions into here. There are a number of reasons that could have broke IE with Object expected. It usually means IE is looking for a function and it's not there. You might be able to see which line the error is pointing to, that will give you a good start for the debugging. One more thing, also make sure the application you are running is from a web server (a local IIS), and not from your local file system. Hope this helps.

Re: [WSG] javascript errors still
Josh, Mainly to rule out any problems that has to do with running scripts off the filesystem, since Marvin mentioned something about setting his security zone in IE. IE is quite picky about those things.
