I believe that with the new version (1.5) it is much easier to make sites accessible. And thanks William for your suggestion of DW extensions. I did a search and found one that looks really good. It's expensive ($US100) but has great reviews on the Joomla extensions site, and includes a 1 hour

Hi Marvin, Your website has some major design issues that you should probably address. For starters, your background wallpaper really reduces legibility, and the dark green doesn't show up very well against the black. Also, all of your navigation links are illegible at their current font size, I

[WSG] Conditional styles not being used on first-run

Hi everyone, I'm having a problem with an element I've created for my current project. It's basically a styled rounded-corner box with a title (it looks like a fieldset but is correctly structured HTML). To get all my padding working correctly I'm using conditional styles for IE6, but some users

No, its not. In this case, if any single browser breaks a related script, then the mark-up cannot be used - working on the majority is not enough to make it viable. Does that mean we should drop the ABBR element because IE can't handle it properly? In what way is that the same as the

It MIGHT be possible to use CSS alone to show/hide the text field depending on the last option being clicked, but it would need a lot of testing. It would certainly be far easier to do this in JS, and as this is only an enhancement, not required functionality, I don't see an issue with doing

Sounds like IE6 is caching the original stylesheet. This is entirely expected as it increases performance and responsiveness for the user on subsequent page loads. There is no nice way around it. I'm sure you could use JavaScript of some sort to reload the script but i don't think it is worth it.

Paul, For £100 you can get a selection of books that would teach the basics and go beyond a short course. You can also purchase a DVD package for around $200 (try CBT Nuggets). If you buy DVDs ensure they are up to date. James On 5/22/08, Paul Collins [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi all, I hope

Hi Try sticking a revision number on the style/script url like so: href/src=/path/to/file?r=12 Browsers will download and cache that link (depending on the cache settings of the browser/ web server / proxy). When you make a revision to the file, bump the revision number:
