Hi list, Something I've been pondering - how best to handle buttons and other purely functional content residing within a block of selected text? Often a user will select a bunch of text and get something like: Some Headingminimiseclose Some text etc etc. I was thinking about adding JS mouse drag detection to hide minimise and close (let's say they're a elements) when the user is mouse-selecting text, but it would fail if a user used the text cursor to select. That aside, I'm iffy about the usability implications of this. Another idea I had would be to simply wrap the buttons in something that is meaningful to most text editors (like a p or suffixing them with a br /). I'm curious how others might approach this problem. The goal is elegant text selection. - James * From: raven rav...@mail.ru Date: Fri, 12 Jun 2009 12:12:13 +0300 Subject: Re: [WSG] What to do with buttons when a user copies text from a page.

My name is Angel from Canberra (Australia)and I am new in this mailing list. I am writing to you because about 1 month ago I went to the last meeting in Canberra about the semantic web and HTML 5, and I would like to know how to organise a similar meeting. The subject would be around Spring Roo, which is a new Java Web framework developed by Spring Source in their Sydney offices. They would like to make a sort of roadshow around the major cities in Australia and they are keen to come to Canberra. The problem is that they are unable to find a proper place in Canberra to perform the presentation. I would like to know how or who can help me to organise this meeting at the DEWHA facilities like the last meeting. Thank you very much in advance. Kind regards.

Ok, it's just that I'm still working on the site still and don't want to
post code that may have a few validation errors in it.
Still I can't figure out why the scroll bars are missing. I thought it
must have been something common but maybe I asked prematurely.
I've tried everything.
Heres the site if anyone want's to check it out.

Hi Kevin
The problem is in the styles.css
You have
html {
height: 100%;
overflow: hidden;
}
If you change overflow to visible the scroll bar appears.

However you can easily turn this off and use a more traditional checkout procedure. Also, magento is an ecommerce framework allowing you to change anything that you like. The comment that it relies on javascript is only true by its default settings - in fact it would be very easy to detect if javascript was available ad if not provide an alternative checkout path.

The theming in Magento is very powerful and allows you to do anything that you would like to / need to. Take the time to learn it (there is a lot to learn) and you will see that you are not limited in any way as to what you can do.

Is this something similar to Section 508 in US, DDA of Australia and UK? I want to assist a customer who purchased my Magento theme whose client requires website be conformance with SPRI, but she didn't tell me any info regarding SPRI and what priorities are to be conformance with and I can't read Spanish. I am presuming that it's not likely that entire site needs to meet all three priorities per the SPRI requirement yet I couldn't get any info from her. My assumption is, she is clueless as well. The theme she purchased meets priority 2 except E823 [WAI 3.5 (AA)] Nest headings properly which I don't think important and it's quite impossible to fix this in a template driven eCommerce site or a blog (just look at all WordPress blogs, you know what I meant). Likely pass most checkpoint in priority 3 but I never run the validation on priority 3 for Magento sites I built. It appears that her client bases the accessibility check solely on the errors validator found. And this is the validator they use. ttp://www.sidar.org/hera/index.php.en In that site, there are three 3 priority checkpoints failed which I think are judgement call - this is just the homepage, likely more errors to be found in other pages.
