Re: [WSG] CSS Expandable Menu

[Jelina Korhecz]

Hi Grant,

I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for, but this might help:

Unfortunately, this does require some javascript as IE doesn't support
a few CSS elements.

Cheers,
Jelina

Re: [WSG] Is it still necessary to encode ampersands?

[Jelina Korhecz]

Hi Dan,

As far as I'm aware, this is still necessary.  However, if you're
doing a huge replacement of & to & you can use BBEdit or (the free
version) Text Wrangler to find and replace over multiple files.
(However this program is only available on the mac--I'm not sure if
Windows/Linux has a similar application.)

If you need a hand with using BBEdit/Text Wrangler, feel free to drop
me a line  :)

Cheers,
Jelina

Re: [WSG] PopDown Menu NCFH

[Jelina Korhecz]

Hi Chris,

The best information I've found regarding pure CSS drop down menus can
be found here:

http://www.alistapart.com/articles/dropdowns/

The article does mention the fact that it won't work with IE6 (and
gives you some javascript to get around it), but it's as pure--and as
simple--as I've found so far.

Cheers,
Jelina

Re: [WSG] Fw: The Great Firewall of Australia

[Jelina Korhecz]

I agree with Dave--a letter to Senator Conroy is the best approach.
The website previously mentioned (http://nocleanfeed.com/) is also a
good place to start if you want to take action.

I'm extremely concerned about this plan (and have been since I heard
about it a months ago) because at first it seemed like everyone in a
position of power thought it was a good idea... despite the fact that
their filtering trials clearly showed that a mandatory filter wasn't
feasible with the technology currently available.

Luckily (and I apologise if this has already been mentioned in a
previous email), iiNet--an Australian ISP--has signed up to the live
testing that is due to begin mid-December.  They have said that they
will take part in this test to demonstrate to the government how
ineffective an ISP level filter is at the present time.  You can check
out what they have to say about it on their website:
http://www.iinet.net.au/about/news/internet_filtering.html

Unfortunately, iiNet have received bad press lately because of a
lawsuit brought upon them by the AFACT (Australian Federation Against
Copyright Theft--see
http://www.lawfont.com/2008/11/21/the-case-against-iinet/ for more
info).  However, some are saying that this case and iiNet's position
on the mandatory filtering scheme are connected (which is why the
AFACT went after iiNet and not a larger ISP like Telstra Bigpond), but
I'll let you make your own mind up about the link between the two.
(See http://defendingscoundrels.com/2008/11/iinet-lawsuit-no-coincidence.html
for more.)

Don't get me wrong--anything that can stop something that is as
horrible as child porn I support.  But I honestly do not think this
has any chance of working.  Please do what you can to help stop this
filter going ahead.  Otherwise I might need to move countries  :(

My 2c  :)
