RE: [WSG] Radio New Zealand site relaunch
Hi Mike, I was interested to see that you are using the back-slash hack when importing your stylesheets, commented as: Excluding old versions of IE etc. I guess what I'm most interested in is how that decision was made? Is it part of your company's approach/philosophy or was it a choice the client made/business rule to not show styled pages for these browsers - thus lowering or containing the cost of the project? The obvious casualties being IE 5 for Mac and IE5.0.

RE: [WSG] Clearleft.com
I was going mention something about that (it is a bit OT...). The only other time I have seen this issue was when I used Mac OSX's Grab application and pasted the image into Word (on Mac OSX) and then opened it on a PC. A solution is to to apply some formatting like scratch removal or a little red-eye remover. Somehow this makes Word on the Mac store the image as something our PC friends can see... -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of James Gollan Sent: Wednesday, 21 September 2005 9:20 a.m. To: wsg@webstandardsgroup.org Subject: Re: [WSG] Clearleft.com Site looks great. Slightly OT but the user survey is using a TIFF image that is not showing up in Word (Office 2003 WinXP Pro) - says something about needing Quicktime installed! I'm sure you could make it work without!

RE: [WSG] implicit / explicit labels which is better?
I've read that we should avoid using implicit labels because, while it shouldn't be any different, in testing it would appear screen readers can struggle and output misleading info, etc. /me goes off to find link -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rebecca Cox Sent: Tuesday, 2 August 2005 9:40 a.m. To: wsg@webstandardsgroup.org Subject: [WSG] implicit / explicit labels which is better?

RE: [WSG] Unicode in Visual Studio? For xhtml, css ?
Visual Studio? Honestly, who uses that? ;-) From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rebecca CoxSent: Thursday, 21 July 2005 9:20 a.m.To: wsg@webstandardsgroup.orgSubject: [WSG] Unicode in Visual Studio? For xhtml, css ? Hi all, I use Visual Studio to author both HTML and CSS and am not sure what is the best encoding option to choose. For HTML it needs to be Unicode/utf-8 but there are 4 different Unicode encodings to choose from! Does anyone use VS and know what a good default option would be? And would you use Unicode for CSS files as well? Cheers, Rebecca
