RE: [WSG] Stand alone IE6 Installer
Jay, Thanks for your explanation and your recommendation, I didn't think of using IE7 as SA (I didn't even knew it was available). I am aware that I'm running a Beta and all of the technical difficulties that could come with using Beta software. But I'm not too concerned since I don't use IE as my primary Browser; actually I use FF for work and Opera for personal usage. Thanks again! ...helmut -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jay Gilmore Sent: Friday, March 17, 2006 2:34 PM To: wsg@webstandardsgroup.org Subject: Re: [WSG] Stand alone IE6 Installer Helmut Granda wrote: Does anyone know if there is a stand alone IE6 installer anywhere?

If the MIX06 release is out then you are running Beta 2 but the MS IE blog has made many attempts to explain that there are still changes coming. In addition it will not be in General Availability till 2007. There are lots of great articles about running IE7 as a standalone and solution that I am using has a batch file that fixes a registry entry that will screw up your IE 6 when they are run on the same machine. I would strongly suggest that you switch back to IE6 and use a SA version of the IE7 release that is out now. Just my opinion.

[WSG] ServerSide Includes and Divs
I discovered something weird today. When I was creating my layout that contains includes for some reason my rules would not work properly only if the layout was like this. -- code starts Main Layout div id=header Include header.php; /div div id=content Include content.php; /div div id=footer Include footer; /div --End of Main Layout --Sample Include //header.php div class=taglineBlah/div div class=logoutLogout/div -- end of code BUT! If I did this --code starts Main Layout Include header.php; div id=content Include content.php; /div Include footer; ---End of Main Layout --Sample Include //header.php div id=header div class=taglineBlah/div div class=logoutLogout/div /div --end of code As you can see as long as I added my header wrapper in the header.php the rules would work fine, but if I didnt then the rules would break. Has anyone experienced this? Is there any specific reason why rules would fail with includes? TIA ...helmut

RE: [WSG] Active Links
1) I am using DW Templates and I have locked the menu to avoid having to recreate every time there is a menu update. Also the site will be updated with Contribute so the user will be able to add/delete items from the menu and they might not know how to apply a class/id attribute to the item they are adding. 2) That sounds like a good solution, I definitely will look into that, that way I don't have to worry about the user forgetting to add the class/id attribute.

If you're maintaining all these pages by hand then why is one extra attribute going to hurt? 2) Use JavaScript to traverse the element containing the navigation to find the achor tags href attribute which matches the page which is currently being viewed (this would be done unobtrusively of course, and will do nothing for browsers without JavaScript enabled, leaving non-JavaScript enabled browsers without a solution for the problem you're trying to solve).

[WSG] Active Links
Hello, I am trying to show on a left menu what page is currently active with CSS. So far the only way I know how to do it is by hand-coding it a href="" class=currentlinklink.html/a What I was thinking about doing was to set up the a:Active class to like bold or something, now the only time when the text shows bold is when I press on it. Is there a way to set up the CSS globally with a:Active or similar so I dont have to hand-code each link in my menu? Thanks! -H
RE: [WSG] Active Links
Hello Everyone, Thanks everyone for your responses, I think I explained myself wrong: What I am trying to achieve is this: http://www.alistapart.com/articles/keepingcurrent/ but without using an ID or a class. I have been looking around and so far no luck, I believe that we have to type the ID names manually. The reason why I was trying to figure it out is because as some one commented I am creating a static site and contains hundreds of pages. So to avoid the trouble of opening each page and defining the Active ID I would like to solve the problem by just defining it in my CSS and then all the pages would inherit it.

Re: [WSG] Re: Object Mp3 into FF
Matthew, Thank you very much for taking the time to respond and help. Your links are great resource! One thing is for sure that the server www.multimedia.net will play in IE and FF because it has the mp3 headers correct, while www.hamsterballstudios.com has the headers incorrectly. So to recap. 1. headers in multimedia247.net are set up properly 2. headers in hamsterballstudios.com are not set up correctly 3. code does not validate - solution 1. fix the headers in hamsterballstudios.com 2. fix HTML So my fears that the server in hamsterballstudios.com is not set up correctly which is the clients server.

Hi List, long time lurker who is trying to get more courageous with CSS. I am wondering what is the consensus for calling a style sheet. The @import rule or the link href method : style type=text/css media=screen !-- @import url(p7pm/p7pmh10.css); -- /style link href=_style5.css rel=stylesheet type=text/css --- I am confused as to the merits of both. If you can point me to a resource that discusses this issue I would really appreciate it.

RE: [WSG] London Web Standards Conference - OT?
Shouldn't Posting Conferences be OT as Job Opportunities? Finding out who is going or why your boss doesn't have enough cash to send you to a conference have nothing to do with standards and creates a lot more traffic than a posting about a Job that could help some one.
