[WSG] Flyout menu questions

2004-11-08 Thread Pringle, Ron
Hello all- I am in the process of redeveloping a large, content heavy municipal site. There is an extraordinarily large amount of information on the current site, and a large number of departments that need to be represented in the navigation. I've used the Son Of Suckerfish code to build out a

Thanks all for your responses. I left off tackling the final navigation til last because I knew it was going to be an issue that needs a lot of thought. My current thinking, after reviewing the responses, is to break the navigation down by each section. If I make the nav section an editable part

[WSG] quotes and pseudoselectors

2004-11-10 Thread Pringle, Ron
I was wondering if anyone has done extensive testing of the support for quotes, nested quotes, and pseudoselectors? Informally, I've tested using nested blockquotes and q-tagged quotes on a limited number of browsers. From my experiments, the only browser that gets the increments right for nested

Now I've looked at the samples and it seem it can't be done without having some kind of text as the link and they want to use their own font on the imgs. (I know... but they pay me and I do what they want... almost) So can the same effect as a javascript img swap possible using CSS

I've got this navigation list that looks fine in ff and opera but it suffers from a mystery inheritance problem in IE I'm using: list-style:none !important; and yet it continues to show a bullet in the boxes. http://v4.csatravelprotection.com/csa/linkview.do Does anyone have a

RE: [WSG] Conditional comments

2005-01-06 Thread Pringle, Ron
What I wondering is, could a comment be used to feed a GIF variant of a logo to IE to replace a PNG (with alpha) that IE doesn't support? Yes it could be done. For instance, if your general CSS code were something like: #wrapper { background-image: url(../images/fall_bk_right.png);}

I'm not one to say screw accessibility, I need my pages to look purty, but the point of my question is: we may have 30 to 50 people registering. If I include a label for each fieldset, the page is going to be bulky and possibly less usable for those with sight. snip Having 50 labels that

We have been operating a drop down menu system on http://www.salford.gov.uk for around a year now and in that time, the menu has changed from a pure JavaScript version to the more accessible and semantic UDM4 (http://www.udm4.com). However one of the more recent external tests indicated

Radio button groups exist for precisely the situation where there is one and only one option that must be chosen. That's how they have always worked. John hit the nail on the head. If you come to a situation where you're attempting to use radio buttons and the above does not apply, then you

Thanks Ron, It is an unordered list but your fix didn't do it, just lost my bullets on the margin. I'll keep digging. My bad, I didn't understand what you were wanting. Try setting a negative left margin on the bodylinklist class: .bodylinklist { margin-left : -18px; } The above
