Re: [WSG] linking to images with //
dear all even is if / is repeated more than once in any URL, it is interpreted by most browsers as just one / You can try this on any site you visit which has subfolders.but if the website is using a external CSS and images in another subfolder it won't show. for e.g. the pages is domain.com/pages/page1.html, using images ../images/ then there could be some problem, though the page will still show.

Re: [WSG] linking to images with //
Hi That's a common enough response when dealing with standards based implementations from companies that either: * do know and don't care * don't know and are scared/worried * do know, do care but don't have the resources * do know but implementation would have internal political implications (I've experienced this a few times) It's a common enough path, to paraphrase some other quotes I've seen around: 1. I don't want or need to know 2. What's this ? 3. Could be useful... 4. Let's implement it.. 5. Wow, that was easy. 6. Advocate... Personally, I wouldn't be too concerned about responses like that - especially given the two code examples are easily eliminated or placed elsewhere to be non obstrusive. Anyone who uses border=0 then complains that it is too difficult to change is either too lazy or shouldn't be doing web development, or both. As for W3C standards not being widely implemented and other generalisations - bit of a throwaway line to get you to go away.

Re: [WSG] linking to images with //
Hi It's a bit difficult to work out what is going one given the image itself seems to be a 1x1 transparent gif. You may find that your browser is blocking these as they most likely represent web bugs, causing the issue you see. the HTML spec redirects URI info to RFC2396. In section 3. URI Syntactic Components it gives a URI syntax as scheme://authoritypath?query Further in on section 3.1 it reads: Relative URI references are distinguished from absolute URI in that they do not begin with a scheme name. Instead, the scheme is inherited from the base URI, as described in Section 5.2. So, you may actually be finding that a URI without a scheme is inheriting from the base URI. Section 5.1.3 describes how a base URI could be constructed from the retrieval URI, which I am reading that if no scheme is present the document scheme is used (http / https / ftp / scp etc etc). That being said, this is only an RFC so any support of it may be a fluke. Did you test the issue over various browsers or just one?

I've seen this before but only in conjunction with Javascript that (we think) was completing the URI before requesting the graphic. We actually had the opposite issue though - without the full URI in our markup the whole page would freeze until the // request timed out. So I'm also curious to see what people here can tell us about this method! I guess if it is, linking to the images that way would overcome any issues with linking to an image over HTTP or HTTPS We thought it was probably something to do with that too. -- --- http://weblog.200ok.com.au/ --- The future has arrived; it's just not --- evenly distributed. - William Gibson *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ***

[WSG] Linking Background Images
Greetings,
I have two questions please.
1. Is there a way to link background images? I want to link my banner image, which is currently set as a div background image, back to the homepage .
2. Can I specify image sizes within my css definition? Here are two scenarios:
a. background image - #contentWrapper{background:#fff url(images/banner_whole_2.jpg) repeat-x;}
b. html source: img src="" width="96px" height="32px" alt="Picture" / (Assume that I want all images to display in these dimensions.
Thanks so much for your help.

Re: [WSG] Linking Background Images
yes there is a way you can link background images; but a little more mark up
is required.
lets say you have
h2 id=bG/h2
and styles as
h2#bG{background: url(image.gif) no-repeat;height:20px;width:220px}
now adding some extra markup inside that h2 as follows
h2 class=savea href=# title=Sign up today!/a/h2
with styles as
h2.save a{display:block;height:20px;width:220px}
you've now got a clickable background image.
I use this tech throughout a project im working on right now...i call it the
Steven Carlisle Background Click or SCBclik for short :p
