Re: [WSG] Ads breaking Compliancy

[WSG] Bottom-center button in div
Hi list, I have a little form inside a table (please don't hate me) and in one cell I have a control and a button. I want to center that button as you will see in the pics. The thing is that vertical-align doesn't work, and positioning differs from FF to IE. Another things is that the div takes the whole cell in FF (as I thought it would) but just a line in IE. Also the fieldset around the table is not nicely rendered by IE (this only happens when there's a legend tag) and of course, margins vary. Here are the visual examples: Firefox: http://tinypic.com/view/?pic=m7uyc6 IExplorer: http://tinypic.com/view/?pic=m7uyib In order of importance, I want to fix: .: The button alignment, centered in the bottom of the cell. .: Table margins, as it also happens with not-centered text, it reders almost on the fieldset border. .: It would be nice to fix that ugly fieldset border, but I don't really care. I'd rather have the button alignment fixed. Well, tell me if this things are fixeable or if I should try another way. Don't throw fruits at me for using tables, I'm new to CSS and it's a bit of a nightmare to layout forms with CSS. The ugly table border was just to show the table dimension and it's cells, it will be switched to 0 as soon as I solve this.

Re: [WSG] pdf graphics
What do you mean by 'usability'? Because there is no such thing as user-friendliness, it just depends on the interface you are used to. If you spent 40 years of your life using command line, I'm sure you wouldn't find M$ Windows (R) so intuitive. The same applies if you've been using Photoshop since v5.0. What I mean is that The GIMP is an alternative, but many people when looking for an alternative, expect a clon.

Re: Re; Re: [WSG] the correct use.
So many people think that should be avoided, but only for text layout or for the entire document? Because I've been so tempted to use tables when formatting a form, and now I read that br tags should not be used... And I think that creating a unique CSS class with the absolute position for each control is as not-right as using tables. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Clarify this for me please.

[WSG] Position problem.
Hi, as some may already know, I'm just begining with Web Standards and
I'm having this problem:
http://tinypic.com/view/?pic=jsltgk
As you can see, I have a header under a tag, then a tag
defined by me and a tag.
I managed (mybe not in the most standart-compliant way) to move up the
text, but the text is too low. I could do the same, but I
don't know if it's the right way to do this.
Here's the CSS:
h1 {
font: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 14px;
font-weight: bold;
padding-left: 4px;
}
fecha {
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 9px;
padding-left: 2px;
position: relative;
top: -10px;
}
p {
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 11px;
}
Thanks,
AlvAro

[WSG] New to Standards.
Hi list, For about 8 years I've been working with HTML and web-related languages. One day I discovered CSS and learnt (not much) about it, but I never realized how powerful it is. Little time ago something called "Web Standards" called my attention, causing me a very strong curiosity. That's why I started investigating (and found this list in the process), but never found material that introduced the subject from scratch, for a beginner. Now I'm writing to this list to ask for books, eBooks, links, and every piece of information that could help me to learn and understand Web Standards and not feel like an ignorant when I read the posts sent to the list, and, in a not-far future, help others too. Thanks in advance everyone, AlvAro ** 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] Best Web Standards thing I learnt in 2005.
"Transition from tables to web standards" is one of the goals I didn't achieve this year. But finding this list was, for sure, one of the best things of the year. Learnt LOT of things, and still have lots more to learn... Migrating completely to Web Standards is one of them (and it's in the top of the list) Cheers!
