Tee, when you say "This is not a site for government but client wanted WCAG
AA compliant.", do you think your clients are asking for that because they

Hi all,
I'm hoping to get some feedback from people regarding a solution to a
usability issue. I work for a large organisation and we have very
large/detailed processing required. Because the applications we develop are
very detailed and change dynamically depending upon the current input,

Hi Bruce,
I think you are looking in the wrong place. The
issue is not with your menu!!
It looks to me like your 3rd column is pushing the
main container out beyond it's intended width of 770px. Good
luck!!
Cheers

Those of you a bit more experienced will have come across this a few times.
You have a bulleted/unoreded list in IE within a floated conatiner(s). Then
you notice that the bullet points either disappear fully or disappear on
mouseover. I was in this delema yesterday but could not find a solution
I found this an interesting read. Click on the following link and scroll to

Hello!I'm
Hi Lachlan,
I think you are right, a table actually probably is the most semantic way to
go about this. I think it's easy to get turned away by all the markup needed
for a table. But my question was about having the most semantic solution,
not the most efficient to implement.
I guess I made
Thanks everyone for your feedback. I think I will go down the path for
now. I have a WSG meeting I will be attending this Friday (in Canberra). If
there is room to raise it I will, to get some others peoples reaction and
possible solutions they may have found.
Thanks again,
Nathan

Thanks Ian,
Thanks for your reply!
I just felt that a definition list was intended to define terms. For
example:
JAWS (X)HTML interpretations
(Emphasis)
JAWS will use pitch and tone to emphasise the words contained within
the element
(Strong Emphasis)
JAWS will use pitch
Hi All,
I quickly scanned the archive but cannot find a
discussion that exactly matches what I am trying to achieve. I want to markup
some text and want to know if I'm doing it the most semantic (and accessible)
way possible.
ok, here is an example of some text and what I am
trying to ac
Hi Darren,
The markup look pretty slick! My only comment would
be around your use of the element. For example:
Property 3 of

Have you ever heard a screen reader when it hits
elements? For this reason I suggest just using a and
'class' instead to create the bold visual effe
Looks like some good work has gone into this! The source is easy to read,
which is handy. However, especially for accessibility, some quick things you
could improve are:
1. dont use: External Quality Web Sites - use
headings instead. i.e. External Quality Web Sites would be much
more semantic
I have a simple CSS vertical menu, nothing fancy, no graphic used for
background. Client wants to add extra pages in one of the menu tab, I
have PV II MM2 but really prefer not to use it as it requires me to
change all menu tabs and turn the css background color to graphic (unless

I'd just like to point out that the alt text does benefit everyone in
situations like providing tooltip content and for when images are not able
to be downloaded/viewed. i.e. provide content for what the image would have
been if it was displayed correctly (in fact I though that this was the

Since the testimonial is basically a quote, why not use the element?
Then use the presidents name within the element. This way it is
semantic, and you still get to style the presidents name any way that you
feel fit!

Hi Kat,
I was there too (WE05) and heard the same line! What Tantek was referring to
was saying if your header for your webpage JUST contains say a title and
logo, then there may be no need whatsoever to include the extra
element (i.e. a with a background image and text). So what Tantek was
What a laugh. I especially love this
quote...
"Since when are using Floats for page-level layout, semantically correct?
Floats are designed to float images within the context of a paragraph. Yet
many designs that are supposedly Web Standards compliant, use floats to create
page divisions
Hi Ted, I have had a similar experience with the
same issue. The two solutions I had were:
1. Accept the current limitations of
Definition lists until support for CSS3 is strong and have the definition term
above the definition details. But to make things look a bit more attractive, why

I think your first sample (LABEL - NOT WRAPPING)
is favorable for semantic markup.
Because it shows 'directly connection.'
WCAG 1.0 needs to "associate labels explicitly with
their controls", that is, "in HTML use LABEL and its 'for'
attribute" as priority 2. http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG10/#gl-compl
Hoping some of you may help with a question that I
frequently see implemented differently? Should the form 'label' element
() wrap around the form elements that they are a
label for (almost like a container), or should they be left on their own? I have
seen some keep the form labels separate
Hi Bruce,
I had a quick look at your current header and see what you are trying to do.
At the end of the day I think you need to just be a bit more clever with
your image. I *borrowed* your current image and did a very crude editing job
to it so it will look good at the avg resolution, but you
You need to use the property "display:block;". I

I also realize that ZenGardens is sorta "frozen in space and time" and
Eric would have done some things differently if he was doing it today - I
found that real interesting reading in the csszengardens book.
I think you mean Dave [Shae] (not Eric)
