[WSG] Re: WSG Digest

[Dominic Hey]

my apologies - the 'context' i referred to is fully out of the hands of the
designer - it is the browsing environment, determined via a mixture of
user-agent information, feature detection and media queries...

Re: [WSG] Re: WSG Digest

[Mathew Robertson]

Part of the  vs  discussion, has been to define what features
are actually required of this element.  Primarily this has come down to:

a) responsive handling of bandwidth vs image-quality (aka bandwidth vs
file-size)
b) pixel density of display devices
c) art direction

[ Did I miss any? ]

Breaking them down:

a) bandwidth is completely out of control of the website designer... (eg:
3G bandwidth varies x10 with time) so there is next to no reason for markup
(HTML or CSS) to be related to bandwidth.  If the designer chose to use
JPEG2000, SVG, HDF or some other tileable/scalable format, then changes the
scope somewhat, as the browser could implement "range requests" to the
webserver to indicate which block of data would suit its currently
available bandwidth.

b) Pixel density depends completely on the target device... again outside
of the designers control (unless you want to design for every version of
every  device in existence). And again the best a designer can do is offer
multiple images.  In which case, srcset seems like a nice way to go, as
it leverage's an existing element thus allowing backwards compatibility.

c) The art-direction aspect can be solved using variations of "clip(...)"
combined with range-requests.

An extra mention... the "media: max-width" variations are really not all
that useful (unless you are targeting an exact screen size + density)... my
eyes work well enough so that I can read small text, so would happily like
to use tablet-width layouts on a small screen.


The idea of "context" would seem appropriate... just need to remember that
some of that context is not in the hands of the designer.

Just  my $0.02...
cheers,
Mathew Robertson

[WSG] Re: WSG Digest

[Dominic Hey]

To paraphrase your own words.. if "an  is descriptive of the
target image" then srcset would be descriptive of the *set* of target
images, no styling information there. Where I would be more inclined to
agree with you would be the "media" attribute, however if you abstract the
essence of a media query it is not, in itself, concerned with styling. It
is a conditional test.

Perhaps we need a fourth element - context - to join the separate channels
of content, behaviour and appearance?

[WSG] Re: WSG Digest

[Dominic Hey]

joining the party a little late here.. unless i have misunderstood things
here this is a perfect situation to employ XSLT (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XSLT). you can assign whatever attributes you
require to the XML and then use XSLT to have the browser render the file as
XHTML.

Subject: Page titles and WCAG2.0 compliance [SEC=UNOFFICIAL]

Hi all,

Thanks for all your help in regards to the "Skip to" issue I was having. I 
have another question in regards to Page titles.

We are currently looking at ALL web pages in the following format:
Homepage: Australian Taxation Office | Home
All other web pages: Page Title | Australian Taxation Office

We are keen to have it in this format as it then provides a better search e
ngine (such as Google) experience. However before we take this step we want
 to ensure it does not cause any issues with WCAG 2.0 and consistency? 


Once again thankyou in advance for any help.

[WSG] RE: WCAG 2.0 compliance and best practise on the "Skip to" function [SEC=UNOFFICIAL]

[Steve Green]

Five 'skip' links is definitely too many and I would say that three is the 
absolute maximum. During user testing we often get adverse comments if there 
are more than two. A single 'skip to content' link should be sufficient if the 
search form and sitemap link are at the top of the page (where people expect 
them), followed by the navigation then the content.

It has been widely accepted in the accessibility community the many years, that 
accesskeys should not be used because every accesskey conflicts with an 
accesskey in one or more widely used application or assistive technology.

As others have said, not all browsers work correctly with 'skip' links, in 
particular Safari, Chrome and Opera. It's unbelievable that these bugs have not 
been fixed after so many years, but that's the case. In my view, most people 
who benefit from the use of 'skip' links are not likely to be using these 
browsers.

I believe that Opera has the native ability to jump to headings, so that would 
provide a very similar capability, especially if you add hidden headings for 
the navigation. I don't believe any other browsers have any such features yet.

Subject: [WSG] WCAG 2.0 compliance and best practise on the "Skip to" function 
[SEC=UNOFFICIAL]


Hi All,

We are currently in the process of redesigning our website and are looking into 
the "Skip to" functionality.

We are currently considering using:

  *   Skip to Search
  *   Skip to Primary Navigation
  *   Skip to Secondary Navigation
  *   Skip to Main Content
  *   Skip to Sitemap

We are wondering if there is any information on best practice for the "Skip to" 
function and whether there is a generally acceptable limit as to how many "Skip 
to" links should be used?

We are also wondering whether we should be considering other ways for users to 
navigate around our pages such as AccessKey 
http://validator.w3.org/accesskeys.html and whether this technique should be 
used to reduce the number of "Skip to" links we have listed above?

Is there any native browser functionality that performs any of these functions 
that we should account for?

Thankyou in advance for any advice.

In the demo, navigation in the source code is still sitting below the header 
section when the screen is at 480px and below. How does this work for AT 
(VoiceOver for example) though if I want the navigation stay "below the fold"? 
I don't supposed the AT is smart enough to do what I want if I don't place the 
navigation code at the bottom section of the page.

You could look at implementing a solution that uses -flex-box to change the
orientation/order of your page elements at each break point.

Trent Walton originally wrote about it with his article, , before Jordan

[WSG] Re: [WSG Announce] Some links for light reading (25/5/12)

[Mathew Robertson]

Hi List,

This week's "Links for light reading" contains references to image
supplement techniques, in particular, the discussion of the 
element and other alternatives to .

One thing that perplexes me somewhat, is the lack of consideration for an
already existing technology, ie: progressive-images.

Most image formats, including the common web formats (jpg, gif, png),
already support progressive image download, but I rarely see it used.  The
nice thing about progressive images, is that they already solve the
limited-bandwidth problem.

The nice thing about using progressive images, is that even when a browser
doesn't show the partial-image, they will still the final image -> so as
method to handle an already-existing-userbase, a simple browser upgrade is
all that is needed... without changing any spec whatsoever.  And without
any javascript shims, even for MSIE6.

Interestingly, as part of the browser support, a browser could choose to
only download the required partial-image, before choosing to abort the
remainder of the download. In fact, using http-pipelining, a browser/server
combo could optimise the connection, simply based on the download-rate, ie:
fetch all images through the single pipeline, with the server sending only
the first block of each image.  And by extension, a browser/server-pipeline
could even use range requests to indicate which part of the image was not
downloaded, on the low-bandwidth connection, once a high-bandwidth
connection becomes available (which would also help solve the intermittent
bandwidth problem suffered by mobile devices).

Relatedly, a browser could choose to optimise it rendering engine so that
low-zoom levels, it only renders sufficient pixels to match its screen
resolution, to minimise CPU usage. As you zoom in, the browser (possibly
having not fetched the high-detail section of an image, could then
range-request the next image size), could render the higher resolution
image.

I am interested to hear what that list thinks about the proposed 
element (I not a fan... it attempts to replace existing functionality, with
something technically less capable), image replacement techniques using say
javascript/php/etc., or just using existing functionality already built in
(and already backwards compatible).


Note that I had not been able find anything about this anywhere, since the
first proposal for the  element...  That said, todays' google foo
did bring up some links, with this months' date even!.


Thoughts?
Mathew Robertson

[WSG] Re: WSG Digest

[Dominic Hey]

Hi Grant,

You could have a dedicated mobile site (using a sub-domain and server-side
client detection, for instance) with zero regard paid to accessibility
*or*standards.
Responsive design (using media queries, for instance) follow the DRY
principle - Don't Repeat Yourself. Rather than think about mobiles/desktops
I prefer to think of responsive design as catering to any number of devices
(think forward a few years to when we see 3G/web browsers built in to car
dashboards etc., or as the browsers built into televisions improve). For a
lot of websites (e.g. Skysports.com) the cost to integrate responsive
design into their existing templating system far exceeds the cost of
creating a dedicated mobile sub-domain. There should still only be one data
source however, for both implementations.

Regards,

Dominic

[Chad Furman]

Eww.  Why is "twenty-five-and-three-quarters percent" better than
"25.75%" -- and why is it mandatory?

Why is putting one attribute per one selector per line cleaner?  To
me, that is unnessecary typing!  MORE seems like a lot MORE typing and
time than necessary...

Glad it works for you... not for me, though.

Subject: Official syntax to style placeholder text

Hi,

¿Is there any official way to style input placeholder text in CSS? I know
there are propietary pseudo-elements like :-moz-placeholder or ::
-webkit-input-placeholder but I can't find anything about the standard way
of doing it.

Thanks,

Yes it is context sensitive, and the context which is important is the 
user's.  Since the designer can't know in what context (or for what

That's interesting. I wonder if the bug on Androids only affects
some manufacturers?  I believe the one I tested was from HTC.

But no standard preventing user control of windows, then.

This is exactly why new windows should be under user control and not

In one sense, this argument is fallacious, because whatever the web

does decides what happens when a user just 'clicks a link'.  In my

Not to my knowledge, no. You could argue that it's aimed at older

Subject: Divs for tabular data

OK, so I'm working on a project in which the developers are laying out tabular 
data using divs.
The site is using the 960 CSS grid system so making the 'tables' work just 
means applying the appropriate class to align each div/table cell to the grid.
They say this is good because:
It's fast
They can manipulate the resulting DOM much more easily than they could with a 
table
Developers find it easier to, say, add or remove columns from the tables, 
without having to edit the code all the way down the table (no wysiwyg editors 
here!)
To me this doesn't seem very good because:
It's not very semantic (although they've used micro data in the class names for 
some divs)
It doesn't seem very accessible -- I might be wrong about this, but to me good 
semantics is foundational to accessibility
There's a lot of markup -- I know tables aren't exactly light on code, but they 
seem quite light and efficient in comparison
It doesn't seem to me like the code will be very easy to maintain for anyone 
but the developers.

The lead developers assure me that this is good practice for speed and 
efficiency, but I'm not convinced.
Nevertheless, I don't want to be advocating tables as best practice if they 
aren't.

What do you think? Are tables too hard for the real world in large sites or web 
apps where large amounts of DOM manipulation is required? Or have these guys 
taken the 'Tables are bad' thing a bit too far?

Kind regards,
David

Tables are the best way to display tabular data since the method does 
everything automatically, that is, without the extra work to make divs 
behave as tables. In my opinion, tables are perfectly adequate as long 
as they're not used for layout (though I'm guilty of this sin from long 
ago.)


One possibility may be that your developers have an easier time 
manipulating the grid with CSS when using divs instead of cells. But 
this is just a guess.

Subject: Content div sticking out the side of container div

Somehow I do not seem to have come across this problem before. I have two
divs, one contained within the other. If the viewport of the browser is
resized to be smaller than the contents of the inner div, the inner div
sticks out the side of the outer container div, which continues to resize
with the browser.

Surely the outer div should stop shrinking when it reaches the width of its
inner div, even if the viewport continues to be shrunk?

How can I fix this so that the outer div will not become any smaller than
the width of its inner div, when the width of the inner div will be unknown?

Here is example code that illustrates this. In my example, the inner div is
set to a fixed width, but for the web site I am developing, I will not know
the width of the inner div.



Test

#wrap {
background:#CCC;
border:2px solid blue;
}
#contents {
width: 800px;
background:#99F;
border:2px solid yellow;
}

Surely the outer div should stop shrinking when it reaches the width of its
inner div, even if the viewport continues to be shrunk?

How can I fix this so that the outer div will not become any smaller than
the width of its inner div, when the width of the inner div will be unknown?

Here is example code that illustrates this. In my example, the inner div is
set to a fixed width, but for the web site I am developing, I will not know
the width of the inner div.



Test

#wrap {
background:#CCC;
border:2px solid blue;
}
#contents {
width: 800px;
background:#99F;
border:2px solid yellow;
}

Try using overflow, or perhaps max-width.

Subject: Wrapping text before float drop

If I have two floats side by side, both are floated left as follow:

.myfloat{
float:left;
}

and both contain text as follows:

Longer amount of text. Longer amount of text. Longer
amount of text. Longer amount of text.
Small amount of text.

Is there any way to prevent the second div from dropping below the first div
when the viewport is narrowed, without specifying widths for either of the
floats?

What I would like is for the text in the first div to wrap before the second
float drops below the first. Is this possible without using widths?

Thanks.
Stephen

One possible solution would be to specify a relative width for the 
first div and a fixed width for the second div, plus add a min-width to 
the second one.

Subject: Correct behaviour of fieldset?

I have noticed that the behaviour of  is inconsistent across 
browsers.

I am working on a form where I have a fieldset with a 1px border. If the 
form has a fixed width of 30em, but there is a  list within that 
form with a width greater than 30em, then the form width will not expand but 
the fieldset width *may* expand depending on which browser is being used.

The fieldset width expands in Firefox and Chrome, but not in IE and Opera. 
What is the correct behaviour?

Thanks,
Stephen

[WSG] RE: Best Practice - Content Within Tables

[Lapcewich, Dennis]

Thanks to all who responded, and confirmed my initial view.

My reason for asking the obvious is that within a government agency, we seem to 
have an excess of pickers of nits (often outside of the actual expertise) who 
just won't take no for an answer.  The views offered here gave me several 
different ways to say the same thing.  On top of this, we are using an archaic 
CMS system (directed to use by those above us) that does not lend itself well 
to best practices.   I really did need those 1,000 different methods to change 
the light bulb because of the low wattage dim wits that often try to brighten 
my day with their bug light prowess (BZa!).  :)

Thanks all!

I wonder if there is a way to restrict mobile phone devices from scaling, but

[WSG] RE: WSG Digest

Hi Tee

When trying the max/min width approach, was the Meta Viewport Tag used?
The Meta Viewport Tag as found in the Viewport section on 
http://developer.apple.com/library/safari/#documentation/AppleApplications/Reference/SafariHTMLRef/Articles/MetaTags.html


 is the standard one you'll see around the place including HTML5
 Boilerplate. And this compliments the min/max approach (makes it sane).
Equally I found using  
worked, but I have yet to test it on many devices.
The difference between the two are that on iOS the first will always keep the 
viewport width the same in both orientations, i.e. 320 portrait and landscape 
on iPhone. Whereas the second will be 320 in portrait and 480 in landscape.

There is a bug in iOS that when using either of the above where orientating to 
landscape zooms the viewport. This was irritating to begin with but only 
requires a quick pinch to correct. There are hacks that fix it but so far I've 
only seen ones that disable zoom. I like zoom, so prefer to leave the bug with 
iOS.

If not seen already, PPK's A Tale of Two Viewports is an excellent insight into 
this crazy world :D http://www.quirksmode.org/mobile/viewports.html

all the best, Dave @davesmiths

At the risk of sounding callous, while the situation is unfortunate and
abhorrent, I'm not sure how it relates to this mailing list, specifically.

Re: [WSG] Re-ask: z-index bug in webkit?

Hi Mathew,

Thanks for that info which I knew it's public and forever, and I still have my 
reason to using the short url when posting link to public list.

Apart from this reason:
Can anyone see my bitly links? 
Individual links are permanent by design and are always publicly accessible. 
You can see your list of publicly viewable links under the Public Timeline link 
in the Manage tab. This list of your bitly links is available to the public at 
http://bit.ly/u/[your username]. While the list is public by default, you can 
turn off access to this list in the Account section of site by clicking on your 
name and adjusting the settings.

Hi!!!

I do enjoy reading those emails, but really! isn't there any way to filter
out the "out of office" autoreplies? These autoreplies are now quite
standard and used more and more often.
But do we care in the mailing list that someone in the list is out of the
office?

my two cents...

Subject: Modal forms - what to call them?

I am working on a CMS and within it, when a user wishes to add a record, I
give them two options:
1) Add record - this goes to a new web page with a form.
2) Add record modally - this brings up a modal dialog box containing the
form which allows them to add the record without leaving the page they were
on (this page lists the current records). This uses jQuery. Once they add
the record, the list of records is updated using AJAX.

However, what user-friendly descriptive name should I use for the modal
forms? I doubt many people know the word modal. Any suggestions?

It would be laid out as follows:
Add record (pop-up dialog box)?

Clicking on 'Add record' takes the user to a new page, while clicking on
'pop-up dialog box' opens the modal form.

However, I would like something shorter and simpler than 'pop-up dialog
box'. Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Stephen

Any thoughts?

Just curious -- why offer a choice?

Why not just offer the modal version if JS is enabled and the other
if not?

What is the user benefit of the non-modal option? And is it enough
to justify introducing an extraneous decision into the workflow?

Will the target user understand the implications of the choices and
pick one unhesitatingly? Or think "eh? what?"  :-)

Just askin' ...



I agree that, from a usability point of view, having only one choice- 
one path- offers the best experience. It just sounds more efficient. So, 
yes, the modal form (no name) when JS is turned on, and the HTML form 
(again, no name) for when JS is off. To the user there is only one form.

Scott,

That attribute is most likely being injected by your text editor. And it
most likely only has a meaning inside that editor You would find that if you
try to validate this page it will throw up unknown attribute error.

The following provides information on how browsers handle unknown attributes
and elements:

Apologies to the group for the noise.  Turns out a re-branded 5 year
old dhtml script (originally called BoxOver) was the culprit.

No, RTF is generally used instead of the .docx format that is pumped out 
by later versions of MS Word.
So really you could use either RTF or .doc, and both will work with 
Openoffice. They can also be made to be accessible.
For that matter even modern PDF's providing they are produced as text 
based PDFs can be accessible as addobie have done a lot of work to make 
them accessible.
I like using PDF as you can keep branding in tact and the document can't 
be edited by mistake.

Thanks,. Chris. I'll take up your offer to get in touch with you off this list.

I should declare that I'm sceptical about RTF, and I believe that there's a 
groupthink on its value that is unsupportable in practice. I've asked elsewhere 
for a killer argument in favour of RTF use, but I haven't yet heard it.

Thanks again to all.

Hi, all.

I'm looking for a study, a report or some other structured analysis on the 
benefits of using Rich Text Format. I'm looking for an authoritative source to 
support claims that it's a desirable and viable format that aids accessibility.

I've tried searching widely, and have not yet found such a resource. I'm 
beginning to believe the case for the merits of RTF is either hearsay or 
folklore.

Please - I'm looking for a substantial explanation of the merits of RTF. 
One-line opinions, rants against Microsoft or PDF, or advice to use HTML 
instead are all familiar and understood.

With thanks for any help.

jQuery will work on those devices, if you are going to use jQuery you might 
also want to look at jQTouch to go with it.  There are some things that a 
library won't help with, such as knowing there is no touch-based equivalent 
of double-click events.

Good morning/afternoon/evening all,

First post here, so go easy ;-)

Just in the process of designing a website for a client, just wondering 
whether iPad, iPhone, mobile users could give me some feedback as to the 
jQuery used - whether it works basically.

Only the homepage is complete at the moment, as it is still in design 
stages.

https://github.com/fnagel/jQuery-Accessible-RIA/ looks like a repo that has a

accessibility to some of the more common design patterns - including a lightbox.

Haven't tested it, but a cursory glance looks like it ticks quite a few boxes.

Thank you. This seems to be what I'm looking for.

Bob,

The following site may give you an idea:

http://javascript.about.com/library/blpoptest.htm

Basically, each popup
window has an 'opener'.
If the 'opener' exists, then user has come to the page via a popup, else the
user has come via another method.

[WSG] Re: WSG Digest

[Janet Jaffke]

The site is nice and clean and functions well. The font is a bit small but 
otherwise it seems to get the job done.

Re: [WSG] RE: The pop-up wont resize the window if it overflows the page height under IE !

[tee]

Can't see it in IE7 XP and IE8 using compatible mode from IE9 in Windows 7.

Everything appears correct. My guess is, your screen is shorter in height, and 
IE (or just IE8? You didn't mention IE7 and IE9) doesn't count the height from 
a hover thus no horizontal scrollbar.

If the layout doesn't use frame this shouldn't be a problem as the left column 
has enough room in  height to accommodate the content area's height. The easier 
way may be adding some 200 or 300 padding bottom for the content's div using 
conditional comment - but I don't see there is a div wrapper for content area. 
Maybe you can add margin-bottom for table, or add a div as a wrapper of table, 
and add padding-bottom for it.

Re: [WSG] RE: The pop-up wont resize the window if it overflows the page height under IE !

[Mathew Robertson]

MSIE8 has some developer tools which includes the ability to highlight a
tag.  What does the overflow look like, when you hover over that tag?

Re: [WSG] RE: The pop-up wont resize the window if it overflows the page height under IE !

[tee]

Can't make sense of it based on the codes you posted. I think you will have a 
better luck if you can copy the page's source codes and make it to a html page 
with CSS and Javascript linked, then post the link here.

[WSG] RE: The pop-up wont resize the window if it overflows the page height under IE !

[Rateb BEN MOUSSA]

Hello all,


Sorry for the inconvenience, yesterday I've sent a mail with attached
pictures, I was wondering if anyone on this distribution can help me
to make a popup behave under IE the same as in FF.

The application is in an intranet, so I can't give you a direct link,
but as shown in the below pictures, when I pass the mouse over the
link, in FF I see the right scroll bar (get longer) but in IE nothing
change even if the popup overflow the height of the the page.

Snapshot FF 3.6.16:
http://i56.tinypic.com/6f032g.jpg

Snapshot IE 8.0
http://i51.tinypic.com/spx5vk.png


The CSS:
-
a.info {
 font-weight:normal; position:relative; text-decoration:none;
}
a:hover.info {
 background:none; text-decoration:none; z-index:10;
}
a.info span {
 display:none;
}
a:hover.info span {
 background:#FADD7F; border:1px solid #00629F; color:#66;
display:inline; font-size:80%; font-weight:normal; left:20px;
line-height:12px; padding:2px 4px; position:absolute; text-align:left;
top:20px; width:150px; z-index:99;
}
a.info_large {
 position:relative; text-decoration:none;
}
a:hover.info_large {
 background:none; text-decoration:none; z-index:10;
}
a.info_large span {
 display:none;
}
a:hover.info_large span {
 background:#FADD7F; border:1px solid #00629F; color:#66;
display:inline; font-size:80%; font-weight:normal; left:20px;
line-height:12px; padding:2px 4px; position:absolute; text-align:left;
top:20px; z-index:99;
}


The HTML:
-
2035893 23/03/2011 (Stéphane
Schneider) : qsd
qsd
qsd
qs
d
qsd
qs
d
qsd
qs
dqs
d
qsd
qsd

qsd
qsd
qsd


Any idea about how to figure out with this problem, how to fix the
render of this page to become the same under IE/FF.

PS: Look at the circle and the distance between the scroll bar and the
bottom of the page.

[WSG] Re: WSG Digest

[dominic]

sounds like a .net artefact. i would suggest wrapping the form element in a
div, which will carry the immutable ID, this can then remain untouched and
used in targeting the child elements, and you're free to iterate your way
through instances of the checkbox

Subject: Re: [WSG] jQuery Mobile for Mobile site

jQuery Mobile is a nice, if slightly unpolished due to it's very recent
release, framework - but you're right - it's primarily intended for apps and
I think it works much better if an app is what you have in mind.

If you're looking to do something not quite app-like, then I'd point you in
the direction of Yiibu (specifically this page http://yiibu.com/about/site/)
as an example of what you can do. They're experimenting with a mobile first
approach, combined with elements of responsive web design and feature
detection in order to provide their content to as many mobile devices as
possible. If you dig around their site a little bit, you'll see related
articles that are well worth the read.

I would also recommend the Mobile Web Yahoo group which is quite active and
a great resource for mobile web development.

Hope that helps!

Perhaps expectations are too high? I took my first Web class in 2002,
and learned both table-based and CSS layouts using IE 5.5 and Netscape
4. CSS rendering in IE was good enough then to convince me that CSS
layouts are preferable. And, no, my pages did not look the same in both
browsers. But similar, and equally usable, was good enough for me
then... and now.

Thanks to all for adding useful tools to my toolbox. Season's greetings!

Cordially,
David
