Subject: What to do with buttons when a user copies text from a page.

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  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  or suffixing them with a ).

I'm curious how others might approach this problem. The goal is elegant text
selection.

- James

Solution ⬠good structure of content, so user may easily select only text he 
need. Wisely use spaces and problem disappears.

Subject: How to set up a meeting in Canberra

Hello.

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.

Angel Ruiz

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.

Subject: Re: [WSG] SPRI accesibility

I'd have thought the biggest issue with Magento accessibility is it's
reliance on JavaScript for the checkout process? It's impossible to
order anything without JS enabled. Although I'm not sure that is such
an issue with WCAG 2. Anyone else know?

Magento by default uses javascript for its one page checkout. 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.

Further to my last comment. 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.

Subject: [WSG] SPRI accesibility

Anybody familiar with SPRI accessibility from Spain?

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.

Checkpoint 9.5 -

Provide keyboard shortcuts to important links (including those in  
client-side image maps), form controls, and groups of form controls.  
[Priority 3]

Checkpoint 10.4Until user agents handle empty controls correctly,  
include default, place-holding characters in edit boxes and text  
areas. [Priority 3]
