[WSG] Standards Text Editor, Part Deux
Way back in May of 2004 I asked this mailing list about their favourite text editors. I am quite satisfied with TSW Web Coder, which someone from this list pointed me to, but the new version is quite obstrusive, and not XHTML compatible (only HTML 4). I am looking for a Text Editor that has 4 qualities. It must: Work on Windows Have Syntax-Highlighting NOT be Java-Based Work with XHTML 1.0 easily I have been searching all over the place. Can anyone help me? What do you guys recommend?

Re: [WSG] newbie with popup menus question
Well, as they say, "if you have to use dropdowns you should probably rethink your site structure". The ALA article Andreas mentioned is actually not that good, since it is still totally inaccessible to IE users with Javascript turned off. There are no good alternatives on the web (yet), so I don't know where to point you. ** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help **

Re: [WSG] accessibility statements
CSS used, still accessible without. I really don't think accesskeys are all that good for accessiblity though.

Re: [WSG] Shedding Holiday Pounds
If you can, you should try switching to a bigger resolution. It's much better, and you'll wonder how you ever survived using 800x600.
