My Apologies Defence !! RE: [WSG] 2 WEEKS TONIGHT! Funkdub @ City Bar, Chester
Ok, first off I apologise that this mailing list accidentally received this promotional email. I installed a new list manager and it took everything from my main funkdub folder, unfortunatley there were some email addresses it added to the list which it shouldn't have, including obviously, this one. I am currently reviewing and rectifying this email distribution list and you won't receive these emails in the future. Please do not ban remove me from this WSG list as I find it very useful. Ok so that's the apology and explanation. Now I feel the need to defend myself. Can someone tell me why I am receiving this rubbish??? ...as already mentioned above this is an administrative error and I hope users accept my apology... Because someone gutless, devil worshipping moron likes to spam people :( ...I think that's a bit harsh, and insulting, I am a regular contributor to this list and am far from gutless sir, as for the rest, sticks and stones... AND finally for the (probably the same) loser who botherd to check out my site and submitted the following enquiry ( I have *'d out to save your blushes) Submitted to Funkdub www.funkdub.info Name: You Organisation: Are a f*cking spammer Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Telephone: yep thats right...your suckthe big one.

SUBMITTED: SEND The only moron I can see sir is you. This was an honest mistake. Who are you the list law?

Here are some very quick comments: I suggest making the left-hand thumbnails redundant links to each section, so that you can navigate either by clicking on read more or by clicking on the image next to it. Your use of the same coloration for links and headlines is confusing. Better I think to flag links uniquely so the visitor can learn quickly what text is active and what isn't. The Birdbox image has fallen down below the left column, probably because you haven't allowed enough room for it to float next to the left col. Try counting your pixels more carefully, or perhaps better yet design your layout more loosely so it won't break as easily. I find the white text on red background (I was right to trust Action Transport...) too difficult to read. I find the slowly unfolding nav submenus clever and irritating, and show off someone's javascript tricks more than they show off a concern for the site visitor. I would greatly reduce the unfold duration or scrap it and just let the submenus pop down instantly. When I hover over items in your right-panel nav menu, the text disappears (turns white?). Resizing text larger in Firefox (whether using FF's controls or the a+ control on your page) garbles your page heading and renders the nav menu unusable. Personally I find the stark red purple a turn-off, but that's personal and I suspect I'm not your target audience. Glancing at the front page I did catch a typo: How can you get involed? missing a v.

I've got the homepage validating to W3C now (and a few of the sub-pages have a fair bit to go), but what I am currently interested in is: - whether anyone experiences issues cross browser - looking for some mac feedback - what people's thoughts are as to the design / presentation - any constructive criticism that can be offered The site itself is a blend of XHTML, CSS, PHP, WordPress PHP BB and its all just about nearly validating.

It still works in Mozilla and the like. Oh I hate Microsoft. Error message follows: No Referer header found! You have requested we check the referring page, but your browser did not send the HTTP Referer header field. This can be for several reasons, but most commonly it is because your browser does not know about this header, has been configured not to send one, or is behind a proxy or firewall that strips it out of the request before it reaches us.

Actually, it's a good example of something else: don't rely on any outside data that's not under your direct control. Having a system that purely relies on referers, and breaks down when they're not available, is not very flexible.

RE: [WSG] Differences between IE5.5 on 98 and XP?
The reason is that its IE ! Reason enough ! Would be hard to tell without looking at it directly.

After tweaking a layout to get it to look the same (not necessarily pixel perfect, though) in Firefox, IE6, and IE5, the client reviews it and tells me there is a problem in IE5.5. After seeing the screen shot (I don't think I fully believed it before that), I looked for a possible source. The best I could find was a little bit of clutter: some rules which weren't needed. There are only two significant differences of which I'm aware: I'm running XP and his IE5.5 machine is 98, and I have 5.01, 5.5, and 6 all running simultaneously, his is just 5.5. Is anyone aware of any reasons for differences? ** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list getting help ** ** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list getting help **

Title: Nachricht Hi all, Fairly new here and been monitoring list for a day or so, all very useful stuff. Anyway, i'm having a bit of trouble with hanging images - my right image hangs into the footer on Mozilla - any ideas? http://www.sammyco.co.uk/pages/solutions/default.html Page validates as xhtml css, and works ok everywhere else but still looks slightly odd in Moz Cheers Sam SAM[MY]CO CREATIVE DESIGN SOLUTIONS website [re]launch november 04 http://www.sammyco.co.uk/ ...let's fix the web !
