Re: [WSG] recommendation for wai validator again

2008-12-07 Thread William Simpson
I use Web Developer Kit Toolbar and Firebug in conjunction since they both
have been extremely helpful to me in telling what would the end results
would generate for Firefox. I strongly recommend those.

 Have you tried the Web developer toolbar plugin?  I haven't used Magneto,

 validating pages that are behind https channels.

  Hi everyone,
 
  I asked this before, and was pointed to many useful Firefox
  extensions. I have tried them all and actually installed Total
  Validator and TAWs on my desktop.  Problem is, none of these
  validators pick up page in the login area and data that are saved in
  sessions/caches (if you have worked on Magento project and have tried
  validate in certain area of the site, you know what I am talking :-) ).
 
  With HTML validation, most validators have validate by direct input,
  however I have not been able to find the similar feature in the WAI
  validator, so even with desktop validator, I am unable to run the
  validation.
  Validators I have tried thus far:
 
  Total Validator,
  WebAIM,
  TAW,
  FAE,
  Cynthia Says
 
 
  Anyone know other validator that does the job?
 
  thanks!

Re: [WSG] positioning help needed

2008-12-10 Thread William Simpson
Yup,

*clear: both* is the critical rule that allow the footer to clear both
floating divs above it.

 Hi Kevin,
 I'm not sure if this will help but I always use
 .brclear
 {
 font-size: 1px;
 line-height: 0;
 clear: both;
 height: 0;
 }
 after the last floated object on a page.
 This has fixed footer floating issues for me before.

 hope it helps
 Rob

 Hi I'm trying to modify this template to work with a footer.
 The problem is getting a footer to float below the right side div.
 I can't figure out how to keep #sidebar liquid but still float a footer
 under it.
 Is it possible.

 Here is the css on that div:

 #sidebar {
 position: absolute;
 left: 51em;
 padding: 115px 0.4em 2em 2.5em;
 color: #606263; top:0;
 }


 #sidebar * {
 max-width: 40em;
 }

 #sidebar .column {
 float: left;width: 15em;
 margin-right: 18px;

  }



 heres the example:

Re: [WSG] valid lightbox++ ??

2008-12-16 Thread William Simpson
I am not exactly sure if this way is the best. I think you should
incorporate a new CSS rule into your CSS and specify with a class assigning
to that lightbox link to it. With the flash, you would want to add to have
the width and height to the CSS rule so it doesn't have to show up on the
HTML validation radar.

 I expect some may consider this off-topic, though it isn't really :- ).

 I recently tried using lightbox and then lightbox++ , the latter because it
 enables flash movies to be presented in the same way as images did in
 lightbox.  However, the big pitfall is that in order to make it work the
 syntax has to be of this form:

 a href=images/gwelanmor.swf width=600 height=400 rel=lightbox
 title=Gwelanmor Internet - flash version
 img src=thumbs/tn_flash.jpg alt=flash page thumbnail
 width=250 height=147
 /a


 You'll notice that the a href has a width and height specified, but of
 course that won't validate.  I've googled, but found no mention of this. I
 wondered if anyone here has encountered it, or better yet, solved it?

 Any bright ideas to solve this non validation?

 Thanks,

 Bob

Re: [WSG] embedding quicktime .mov cross-platform

2009-01-15 Thread William Simpson
I will have to concur with Christian on the issue of presenting any videos.
Look at Youtube and they do use Flash video for the maximum exposure to the
audience. Quicktime doesn't always work for every computer due to other
complications in conflicting with other video codecs, installation issues,
browser's plug-in working with Quicktime failure, etc. That goes for Windows
Media Player.

Flash is the ultimate cross-browser/operating system software.

-Josh Simpson

 My recommendation is that you convert the movies to FLV and use a
 standard Flash FLV player. You'll find better support that way, and
 you can do things like basic streaming, rather than just putting the
 videos on the page with object or embed.
