Hi Scott, Not off topic at all. We're right in the middle of a planning stage for WSG and will be making some announcements soon. Yes we have discussed a forum, but have agreed that it will not fulfil the purpose as questions won't get answered with the same speed. I am on many fora and only ever

I always start my designs with a photoshop concept, keeping in mind the limitations of the medium. Whether your using tables or CSS, there are always limitations if you want a site that is not one big image map. One thing I have started doing when designing concepts is that instead of using the

Don't worry, as a newbie here and to a lot of the standards, I should bring the bar down a few pegs when my response to an answer is simple "Huh?" BTW guess it's time I said hi, instead of lurking like I have been for the past week. I've recently come over here from CSS-F list, which I was only

[WSG] Opera market share

Now that it seems Opera is back in town for the Mac, with its 7.5 beta, has anyone come across any more current info on stats for this browser? Perhaps this is a topic that has been done to death. I've just looked back on the list and found that Peter Firminger noted a while back what I have ju

Hugh, I don't mean to jump on this comment, so apologies if take out of context, but the aim is to code for standards first, then deal with individual browser issues as they come up. We should not need to "code for Opera". While they all have slight idiosyncrasies, recent versions of browsers su

Russ, Quite right. I'm afraid I didn't put the question very well. All I was trying to get at was an idea of whether it was worth putting in the work to fix any Opera idiosyncracies, if there still are any. That said, my guess would be that while the aim is to code in a standards-compliant way

Re: [WSG] Opera market share

Hugh Russ is right. Standards based design done visually or not will save you time and headaches. Besides, Opera 7.5 is still beta so why should you even care about it yet. The current Opera doesn't rendered well on the Mac and I suspect the new Opera won't be any better. IMHO you should s
