Re: [WSG] why liquid layout is important.

2005-11-23 Thread Rik Lomas
These $100 laptops, at the moment anyway, are only pre-prototype. There isn't even one fully functional version of it yet, and it will be a while until there is. Kofi Annan broke the handle of it when it was unveiled the other day, because he thought it was the real thing, but unfortunately it isn't, it's just a basic model of what it might be like. It's definitely a good idea, but surely, a poor African family would rather sell the laptop for money than keep the laptop if they had the choice...

This is a great article Terrance, and while interesting from a design /technology perspective, I think the human side of this story is moreimportant.I'm sure everyone who saw Doug Bowmans presentation at WE05 'Zooming out
of the trenches' http://we05.com/podcast/ was incredibly moved by hispresentation - I heard stories of tears. After all, building tostandards is really about equity isn't it? I don't think anyone here
would disagree that the equitable delivery of and access to informationand education is every persons right.It would be great if we (WSG listers) could come together to work on aproject like this - we all have such great contacts, it would be a very
powerful thing to do. I've been wanting to do something like this for along time, if you are interested too, please contact me.lisa-Original Message-From: Terrence Wood [mailto:

I would also recommend the Jeremy Keith book, dead easy to read and understand. There's more information about the book here:http://www.domscripting.com/

RE: [WSG] Default display property of a TR

2005-09-23 Thread Rik Lomas
Taken from http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/tables.html

The default style sheet for HTML 4.0 in the appendix illustrates the use
of these values for HTML 4.0:

TABLE{ display: table }
TR   { display: table-row }
...

Hope that helps!

What is the default 'display' property of a TR element?

Is there somewhere you can look this sort of thing up?

Thanks,
Stephen

Subject: [WSG] Help with accessible horizontal menu

Hi

I' am building an accessible horizontal menu. I have some problems
with tabbing the menu. I tested the menu in IE 6.0, Firefox 1.05 and
opera 8.0. IE and Opera doesn't support it at all and firefox only
with javascript. It does navigate to the menu but the menu doesn't
expand. It looks like CSS focus works different when you use the tab. In
javascript onfocus and onblur works only in firefox. I like to have some
feedback tested the menu with other browsers and perhaps some tips and
tricks to solve this.

Other things I also have to solve are:

Work in IE without Javascript
Submenu's (now only work in Firefox and IE but don't expand menu by
tabbing)
IE comment hack without  probable solved when IE
works without JS

You can find the menu here:

Kind regards,

Colin Meerveld
