RE: [WSG] Proxy HTTPS to HTTP
What I meant is that an HTTP URL I have come up with is going to go to the HTTPS pages seamlessly within the browser. I am not misleading the users by any means. I am not 100% sure this is on topic as well but I believe it should be. Thank you for your thoughts. kevin *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ***

[WSG] h1 heading followed by h2 or introductory text?
Hello, I have a page where the content starts with an h1 heading, followed by introductory information and this information is followed by h2 headings and their content. Is this compliant with web standards to have and h1 and an h2 seperated by text or should the introductory text be prefaced with an h2? I am thinking of accessibility and do not want to cause problems for screen readers by breaking the outline of the page.

[WSG] HTML special characters coding
Hello, I am looking for advice on if the best way to code for special characters is to use the actual character or the attribute value or the alt code? i.e. for the ampersand should one use & or &? Does it matter? I know that Dreamweaver automates some of this but what is the best practice?

So it'll break more gracefully. Also there can be other things involved other than the browser when writing HTML, such as bad proxies. I can't remember the name of the software but a few years ago an adblocker proxy that I installed on my parents machine would break UTF-8 horribly... of course that's the proxy's fault but entites would work around their bug.

Re: [WSG] Code for Firefox, hack for IE
I have also read and believe that you code correctly and, yes, the browsers that are web standard compliant should not need any hacks. However there will most likely be the need for IE6 hacks. --- Original Message --- From:David McKinnon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent:Mon 9/1/08 6:55 am To:wsg@webstandardsgroup.org Subj:[WSG] Code for Firefox, hack for IE Hi, For a while now, I've been operating on the principle "Code for Firefox, hack for IE". That is, writing CSS for the most standards-compliant browser, and then making adjustments for non-standard behaviour. I said this in a meeting last week to argue a point and my boss said "who says?". I could have said "me", but maybe that's not a good enough answer. Somewhere some years ago I read this, or heard someone at a conference or something and it got stuck in my head. Is this the way anyone works? Is it the best way to work? Does anyone know where I got this idea from? Book? Blog? A bit of googling this afternoon turned up not very much.
