Re: [WSG] XHTML Repost
Anyone else confused? As to the purpose of this being resent - yes. I read through the WSG thread that came from and followed up a lot of the links and if like me you're making the transition to stronger use of CSS based development the xhtml v's html issue seems to be summarised like this: The issue seems to be whether you are using this... meta http-equiv=Content-Type content=text/html ...as opposed to this... meta http-equiv=Content-Type content=application/xhtml+xml (or text/xml) ...in an xhtml document. No, this will not do. See here: http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2003/03/19/dive-into-xml.html Especially the last comment on the page. And, especially... the whole thing :) M. * The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ *

M. -- - Book Quote of the Day: It often happens that in situations of unrestraint, where there is no thought of the eye of criticism, real feeling glides into a mode of manifestation not easily distinguishable from rodomontade. A veneer of affectation overlies a bulk of truth, with the evil consequence, if perceived, that the substance is estimated by the superficies, and the whole rejected ~ THOMAS HARDY * The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ *
Re: [WSG] Generated Content
I'm wondering if anyone out there can point me to an article or crib-sheet discussing the current support for generated content in CSS2. Such as are discussed here http://www.richinstyle.com/guides/generated2.html. I would like to use counters to add numbering to headings in web-versions of some technical documents. Allo, See here: http://www.literarymoose.info/=/article/conquistadors.html 3 pages full of generated content. Enjoy! M. p.s. IE will see nothing, hear nothing... so it's safe to use GC. * The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ *
Re: [WSG] :hover accessibility
does anyone else feel that :hover is a little too enticing and likely to lead to some accessibility issues? No. I seriously hope this part of CSS doesn't get blacklisted as inaccessible. depends on what you're using it for of course, Exactly. Any tool can be misused in a variety of ways. There is no inherent trouble with rope, per se. Yet it can be deadly, if used in a certain way... rollover images is a non-issue, but for things like rollover menus, where's the keyboard support? As long as there is at least one equivalent alternative navigation method provided, rollover menus don't hurt, but only add a layer of functionality for a subset of users.
