Re: [WSG] Section specific introductory pages and usability
Paul Hempsall: What's the general concensus of the direction Introduction pages should take. I've always been concerned that reiterating the section navigation via a barrage of links would be a confusing and disorienting method. quite the opposite: a barrage of links with a supporting explanation is better than a barrage of links with none. Providing expanded scent for navigation labels typically found in the main navigation device is quicker and easier to use than clicking a bunch of links in the the hope the resulting page is the one the user wants. I recently test the main navigation system of a large content rich site and most participants requested more descriptive information (either through tool tips or instructional text) to aid in their understanding of how the site was put together. Start with Henrik Olsens site: http://www.guuui.com/browse.php?cid=137 See #4 #5 (both point to Jared Spool's work, but there may be something else there of interest =) ) kind regards Terrence Wood. ** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list getting help **

Re: [WSG] To Specific
Chris, I'm finding a great value in reading the w3c specs while working on a current project. A few other resources are also helping me advance my understanding of XHTML/CSS: the book 'The Zen of CSS Design', alistapart.com and several other websites. Looking at work from other developers and this list is also helping a lot. I often copy code posted here into files and reverse-engineer it to see why something works and/or what breaks it. The time spent is definately proving worthwhile. My code is becoming even more logical and much cleaner than before. I take a lot less shortcuts and usually end up replacing old shortcuts with newer, more compliant ones. The specs are solidifying my understanding of what 'compliance' is... Mind you, I haven't read them front to back. Just whatever applies at the time or what interests me.

Re: [WSG] To Specific
Definitly, There are a /lot /of things you find in th specs that are overlooked elsewhere. The DOM specs are about the only descent easy-to-download reference I've seen on DOM, I'd be lost without them.
