Re: [WSG] SPRI accesibility
I'd have thought the biggest issue with Magento accessibility is it's reliance on JavaScript for the checkout process? It's impossible to order anything without JS enabled. Although I'm not sure that is such an issue with WCAG 2. Anyone else know?

Re: [WSG] @import rule
Just working on someone else's website and they are using the @import rule to include their CSS. I usually use the link rel method. I am wondering, is there really any reason not to use @import, be it Accessibility, standards, etc? I don't want to pull in other stylesheets into the one I'm using, so I have no need for the @import. According to Steve Souders research in his very handy book High Performance Websites there are some performance issues with @import. It can cause unexpected ordering of how components are downloaded to the browser. You can compare the effects; Using link rel - http://stevesouders.com/hpws/css-top.php Using @import - http://stevesouders.com/hpws/css-top-import.php Hope that helps, Rich -- DonkeyMagic: Website design development http://www.donkeymagic.co.uk http://www.awadigital.com *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ***
Re: [WSG] Standards compliant slideshow
Can anyone please recommend a standards compliant slideshow script that uses a list of images within the HTML markup to dynamically create the show. http://slayeroffice.com/code/imageCrossFade/xfade2.html -- DonkeyMagic: Website design development http://www.donkeymagic.co.uk ** 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] DOM Scripting
Hi Darren, what's happening is the form is doing the validation but
it's still submitting. In you preparePage() function you need to add
an event handler for the form.onsubmit() that returns false unless the
form validates.
something like
function prepareForms() {
for (var i=0; i document.forms.length; i++) {
var thisform = document.forms[i];
thisform.onsubmit = function() {
return validateForm(this);
}
}
return false;
}
Jeremey has an example on
http://www.domscripting.com/domsters/contact.html or have a look at my
comments form.
Best of luck,
Richard

Re: [WSG] Accessible drop down menu
One option would be to use Javascript to submit using onchange, then hiding the submit button in a nosript tag for those who don't have jscript turned on. Does anyone have a better idea? Hi Paul, Don't know if its exactly what you are after but i did a little script a while ago that turns a list of links into a select box that acts as a jumpmenu that loads a new url onchange. If the user has no js they just get the list of links. http://www.donkeymagic.co.uk/listselect Richard -- DonkeyMagic: Website design development http://www.donkeymagic.co.uk ** 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] Alternate Navigation
With the use of the object tag is it possible to include an alternate ul navigation, should FLASH fail? I don't know if you can do that directly with the object tag but you could look at using unobtrusive javascript to add your flash to the page, replacing an existing ul. Have a look at Bobby van der Sluis's Unobtrusive Flash Objects (UFO) v3.0 http://www.bobbyvandersluis.com/ufo/ Richard -- DonkeyMagic: Website design development http://www.donkeymagic.co.uk ** 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] addEventListener
Use the onclick event;
a.onclick = function() {
alert('not going there!');return false;
}
Its not an issue of standards it's in the javascript not the html.

Re: [WSG] addEventListener
Fair enough. Being a bit hast there wasn't i. However the support of the DOM2 Event handlers standards is still incomplete so as far i know and Mozilla apperas to have a bug with the return value.

[WSG] IE on the MAC is history
Well you have probably all heard about this already but Microsoft is stopping support for IE on the Mac. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/4542750.stm http://www.microsoft.com/mac/products/internetexplorer/internetexplorer.aspx?pid=internetexplorer http://www.webstandards.org/ but does it mean we can stop coding for it now or if not how long do we carry on?

Re: [WSG] Taking things to extremes.
Separation separation separation! Use the DOM an onload function and some unobtrusive javascript. I'm my experience you will always want to add more javascript. Keep behavour layer separate.
