I need to write a print style sheet and have a particular element on
the page print at a specific absolute size (85mm by 35mm). I've set
the size using the mm units in the style sheet, but the element is
printing at 65mm wide.
From what I can see, mm (and cm) are well supported measurements in
%.
What I'm saying is: I don't know how much I care about this issue.
Yes, it's shocking that anyone would try this in Australia, but aren't
it's chances of getting off the ground about zero?

Okay, so I *should* be concerned about this, in spite of what my
common sense tells me.
So what can we, as web professionals (in Australia), do about it?
I've signed the getup petition. What's the next step?

I'll confess my ignorance on this issue, but how do screen readers
handle DHTML type injection of content into the DOM?
Without using alerts, you could add the warning into the actual

Bind the events in your JavaScript. A library like jQuery makes this easy

It's better code and solves your validation problems.

Don't forget that old school named anchors actually used the name

In terms of coding such a form, are you populating the state field with any
information that depends on knowing what country the user is in? (or any
other location dependant information in other fields?).
If the answer is yes, then I'd say it's quite important to have the country
