Re: [WSG] To or not to here is the question!!!
IE8 uses 102% CPU resources and the site srcolls relatively slow! The problem is with 'having a scroller or not' in general and the inefficiency of is that is being used for presentation and not content structure! Thanks for your reply Antony, but as 45% of my target users will use IE i need something extra lightweight!!! Found this http://www.talkincode.com/examples/javascript-marquee/horizontal-scroll.html, which looks pretty clean and fast... any proposals much appreciated folks Thanks a lot!!!

[WSG] To or not to here is the question!!!
Greetings to everyone, I prepare a web project (wordpress), where my boss desires a horizontal news ticker scrolling from left to right at the top of my header!!! It is something i would not propose to anyone to do, but unfortunately i have to do it.. Initially i used the li scroller from http://www.gcmingati.net/wordpress/wp-content/lab/jquery/newsticker/jq-liscroll/scrollanimate.html, which is extremely slow and uses huge CPU resources, especially when using it with IE8, but almost the same thing happens with Firefox, Safari, Chrome and Opera... I cant figure out if this a .js problem or something to do with wordpress loop (as this is a custom loop which creates an unordered lists of some particular posts). At the same time seems to do the job, extremely fast and without 'eating' my CPU's resources!!! I know that the particular html tag is a big NO NO these days and a not semantic element whatsoever... The situation is really tough as i need good performance and at the same time, to only use semantic elements in my code!!! If anyone has been through these problems before or knows anything about it i would really appreciate it!!! Best regards and many thanks to everyone!!!

Re: [WSG] disallow IE6 to load the main style sheet
Totally agree with you! Letting users know about the security flaws of IE6+7 is much more effective than the usual passive messages (especially on e-shops)!! Providing the content styled or not is a tough question, but i believe it all comes to the site's audience and purpose..for instance for a news website i would spend more time coding a stylesheet for mobile devices rather than IE6... unfortunatelly i still have to provide for IE7+8..but thats another story.. Whatever the case, trying to provide the information in the best way, just markup or styles that dont display some elements etc., i think should be the optimal web practise.. Regards, dio.

Re: [WSG] Including a DIV element inside an HREF tag
Thanks a lot for the input, i wouldnt like to avoid validation, and IE6 allows the block element to be "clickable" but with no sign that you can do that (change of the mouse cursor), other than just showing the location of the link in the browser's status bar.. *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: memberh...@webstandardsgroup.org ***
[WSG] Including a DIV element inside an HREF tag
Hello to all! I would like your comments regarding the inclusion of a DIV, inside a Link tag. I need to make the following div element - 'linkable' , as such when the user hovers on it, to be able to follow a link to another page. e.g. http://www.impelmedia.co.uk/index.php/services/design/";> * My Heading Lorem ipsum text lorem ipsum text lorem ipsum text orem ipsum text lorem ipsum text orem ipsum text lorem ipsum text * Do you think this is a semantic way of structuring these elements or not ? And if not do you know if there are any other alternatives so i could perform the same functionality? Thanks in advance Regards Dionisis K *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: memberh...@webstandardsgroup.org ***
