RE: CSS table-type layout
Ray, Do yourself a favor. Check out sites on structural or semantic HTML. The idea being that HTML gives our content strucure and when you use the correct structure for your content (ie, tables for tabular data, H1...H5 for headings, lists for menus and other grouping of related items, fieldset and labels for forms, that these items give your site semantic meaning as well. Try this, get rid of your style sheets entirely for a moment and view your site. Ask yourself these questions? Can I understand the page without any external visual references? Does the page flow well? Can I get how items are related to each other? The other benefit to structural HTML is that your tags are then hooks to attach your CSS to. I have found that structural HTML makes it much easier for me to design CSS style sheets for rather than starting visually and making my HTML structure fit my CSS. I still use tables for tabular data. Heck, I even taught how to style tables in one of my talks at CFUNITED 06. Tables for tabular data are perfect, just remember to use proper HTML structure in them thead for headers tfoot for footers tbody for the body, colgroup and col to designate columns and their widths, th scope=cols for headers to relate your headers to your columns.

I can tell you that section 508 and the WCAG both have a requirement that a page be able to work without javascript in order to be considered accessible.

RE: [CSS] vertical justify
CSS (neither 2 or 3) does not have a way of vertically justifying text. If you are using tables (which I believe you are from your use of the word cells) you might want to try td{vertical-align:center}. Since anything within a cell is considered part of the inline layout model.

From: Damien McKenna [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, August 25, 2005 6:22 PM To: CF-Talk cf-talk@houseoffusion.com Subject: OT: CSS: image overflow in IE vs Firefox I'm working on a site where I'm attempting to make some images float outside their parent div, as you'd often see in magazines where you've e.g. got a column of text with an inserted image that pushes out wider than the text. The way the page is set up is that there's text in the middle with one image on floating on the left and one floating on the right, both of which are supposed to push outside of the text column. Here's one image that's supposed to float left: div.insertLeft { position: relative; display: inline; float: left; width: 160px; left: -25px; } This one is supposed to float right: div.insertRight { position: relative; display: inline; float: right; width: 120px; } It looks simply beautiful in Firefox and was the reason I did the I love CSS post the other day. However, today I viewed it in IE and the positioning is all off - the left image is positioned correctly but the text flows 25px away from it instead of the 5px it should, and the right image just floats right against the border as if I didn't have the width attribute in the stylesheet at all. Aside: /me thinks he's hit upon box model differences. Any suggestions on how to do what I want to do? I'll try css-discuss tomorrow if nobody has any ideas.

RE: CSS Help
Different browsers will use different modes depending on the DocType used. No DocType at all will always trigger Quirks mode. The only ones I have found that trigger Standards mode across most browsers are HTML 4.01 Strict and xHTML 1.0 Strict. For more of an explanation try this link http://hsivonen.iki.fi/doctype/ While most browsers will try to use pixels for non specified units in CSS, its not in the spec and you can't count on it over time.

Couple of things. Liquid layouts are commonly used with em or percentages rather than with pixels. (Think of an em as 100% of the font-size). Positioning and floating are mutually exclusive. Floating takes something out of the document flow. Position:relative positions something relative to its original position. Using top:0 with position:relative does nothing.

Standards mode is decided on by the browser, by the DocType you use. No Doctype will throw any browser into quirks mode. The best DocTypes for standards mode across browsers are HTML 4.01 strict and xHTML 1.0 strict (no xml prolog, since that throws IE6 right into quirks mode). Sandy Clark -Original Message- From: Barney Boisvert [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, December 12, 2004 9:46 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: SOT moving to FireFox IE incorrectly implements the CSS box model, while FF (and other browsers) gets it right. Specifically, IE assumes the width you specify is for the actual content area of the elements box, while the CSS spec says that the width you specify is for the entire box (including padding, border, and margin). So if you've got 5px of margin, a 1px border, and 4px of padding, your elements will be 10px wider than they should be. Or, if you're looking at it from the IE side, rather than the standards side, a standards compliant browser will show your boxes 10px smaller than you're used to. cheers, barneyb On Sun, 12 Dec 2004 21:28:48 -0500, Victor Moore [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thanks Isaac, I have implemented the second part and it's working fine.

From what I've researched, it seems that going with J2EE is the best choice, and I imagine that the main reason for sticking the old-school CF session variables would be to preserve legacy applications that relied on CFID and CFTOKEN cookies. With the two different types of session management, and several identifiers created in several scopes, things can get confusing. And this brings me to my question :) I'm having a problem where a client will occasionally lose their session while clicking around the site. I can see the CFID/CFTOKEN values change in the URL (as well as the cookie, client, and session scopes - yes, I did turn on EVERYTHING in cfapplication while testing :)) I've put locks around the code that modifies session scope variables. To make things more fun, this doesn't occur on all computers - only about half the machines in our office have this problem. I've done a lot of housecleaning in this app, which is good, but the site still isn't working properly, which is bad. How can I ensure that clients can actually keep their sessions? What if I don't have the option to use J2EE session vars? What are the best set of parameters to use in the cfapplication tag? Should I be using addToken to the cflocation tags I'm using (admittedly, I'm overusing them, and I think this likely contributes to the problem.) Where can I get some guidance on proper locking in MX 6.1? On a somewhat related note, I'm having a problem where I make consecutive function calls on an object located in session scope that make changes to the database, and it appears that either the second operation (which adds rows) is not being run, or is being run before the first operation (which deletes rows.) In other words, I call session.contact.clearAddresses() first, then session.contact.addAddress(addressStruct) and the new address never gets added. No errors, just an empty database.

RE: Fusebox sessions
FBX-Settings is a circuit level settings file,Circuits inherit what is placed in FBX-Settings of their parent and then can either add or overwrite specific information to their own fbx-settings files. Global information would go in the fbx-settings file of the top level parent. However I do agree with Michael Tangoree about FB4.If you are just learning this, you should be learning FB4. If your concern is that you are on CF5 and can't use the XML parser required, then you can go into FUSEQ which is a hybrid between FB3 and FB4. FuseQ can be found at http://www.techspedition.com.A lot of what was in FuseQ came into what is now FB4 including ContentVariables and the ability to call fuseactions within fuseactions.

You can toggle assertions in fusebox.xml via useAssertions (by default, it's TRUE). Parsed fuseactions result in a parsed file with assertions and another without.

IMPLEMENTED-Make which version of each core file be reflected in its file name. The version of the Runtime core file executes only Loader, Transformer, and Parser core files of the same version. Throw a new error of fusebox.missingCoreFile as needed. The Core files also make use of two UDFs (canonicalpath__() and relativeFilePath__()) which have been extracted out of the core files and use the double-underscore to ensure they don't step on your own UDF toes.

I have been developing fusebox apps for about 3 years.Started with fb3, and once I switched companies in december and had access to cfmx, immediatly switched to fb4. Have been amanager of a group of developers I can say that above all else choosing a framework has the benifit of putting all your developers on the same page.No longer does any individual developer have to guess at where someone else put certain logic or will this conform with the groups efforts. Also if it comes time where you need to bring on additional developers, it is very easy to single out people skills or show them the path to get up to speed with your development. Now I know that this isnt selling fusebox per se, but I think it covers the more important topic.Having A framework is very important. Ok, so fusebox.I like fusebox because it makes sense for me.It is procedural and structured.My own develpment efforts had brought me along much the sam path as fusebox,whil I was leaning CF.And the benifits that came from upgraing to fb4 made it a no brainer,those including flexibility and speed. However its important to note that depending on where your expertise lies, it make make more sense for your team to adopt Mach-ii.Which is of couse an OO frame work for CF Development.This is also an implicit invocation architecture, which basically means that that the peices that run when a page is requested are not hard coded at design time. I think its also important to note that if you like the procedural approach but like the benifits of Implicit Invocation, you can check out OnTap.I will be honest here, in that I have not checked out OnTap, and the only reason I know what I do about it because Sean Corfield mentioned it when he spoke last month at the Portland CFUG. Anyhow, I hope some of this helps you decide what the next step for you will be.For more information about Fusebox you can visit fusebox.org.The forums are a great place to search there and there are a couple books out.For mach-ii visit http://mach-ii.com/ or http://mach-ii.com/.And with any luck Issac will see this post and put up some information about OnTap.

RE: Does IE6 in XP render differently?
Check to see what rendering mode you are working in.If it is quirks mode, that can be the problem. If it is quirks mode than make sure you use a doctype that forces standards mode. The xml prolog will send IE6 into quirks mode. To check, type_javascript_:alert(document.compatMode) into your address bar. If it comes back withCSS1Compat then you are in standards mode.

I ran across an oddity the other day ... I develop on Win2000 and usually check page layouts in IE5, 5.5 and 6, Netscape, Firefox, and on a few Mac browsers (depending on the client). A co-worker brought to my attention the fact that a page she had designed was rendering very differently on her XP IE6. Whoops! The offending code seems to be my use of padding, or indeed any type of css sizing (width, margin, padding, height. Something as simple as: div style=padding-top:20px; A few words in here /div within a TD having a height attribute in the tag renders very differently in IE6 on XP (on her machine) than in all the other browsers i'm testing on. At first glance, it seems to indicate that the only way around this is to go back to using spacer gifs (uhhgg!). Before i over-react - has anyone else run into this before?

OT - CSS Talk and Class Announcment
Just an FYI for those out there, I will be speaking at the NYCFUG tomorrow night (Tuesday) on CSS. Hope to see many of you there. I am also offering a class in CSS in October, this will be a 4 days, hands on class.It is appropriate both for beginners and those who really want to delve more into what CSS has to offer. When: October 11 - 14th Where: Teratech, Rockville, MD Cost: $1399 Have you been hearing all the hype about Cascading Style Sheets and just don't get it? You know you should be using them more, and you just know you could be doing better? Learning CSS properties isn't enough, knowing when to apply them, how to select for them and the underlying rules which govern their behavior is critical to being able to pull yourself into the web standards age. In this 4 day, hands on class, Sandra Clark, will unlock the mysteries of CSS. This class is not a design class, rather it goes into the hows and whys of how selectors, properties and browsers interact. You will learn what to do, but also why you do it. Hands on labs help you to explore your creativity, as well as how to design HTML and Style sheets that are easy to read and maintain. This class is limited to 12 participants.

RE: Frame Effect With CF?

Is there any way to embed a Frame within a table cell? From my limited knowledge of frames, frames have a lot of conflicts that make it very difficult to embed. Or is there a custom CF Tag (or _javascript_ function) that will accomplish the same thing? I am sure this is old hat to most of you. The goal is to eliminate so many accesses to the server. Download one document with Bookmarks. Current thinking is to use something like a table with two columns. Have the left col hold the links to Bookmarks and the right col contain the content.

Bobby and other validators will catch some information those items within 508 which can be validated programatically. However, there are other 508 guidelines that cannot be caught by any validator and requires human interaction to determine.

Nothing beats listening to your site in a speech browser or screen reader to determine if a site is really accessible to blind or using other visual tools to determine how a page looks to someone with limited vision or color blindness.

RE: Of Flash, Flex and Accessibility
Flash (and I am assuming Flex) incorporates the MSAAPI (Microsoft Accessibility API), which (surprise!) only works on windows screen readers which incorporates it. Since Accessibility and 508 doesn't say only Windows, anything developed with Flash/Flex at the moment isn't truely accessibile since it shuts out anyone coming in on Mac, Linux, Unix, etc.While that might not be a huge portion of the population, its still a problem.

Actually this is refered to as a skip navigation which is an accessibility issue. Section 508 1194.22 (o) A method shall be provided that permits users to skip repetitive navigation links. Most pages want to hide it from their sighted users which is why they use a display:none. However, according to Joe Clark, skip nav's should be always be visual since they also serve other users, people who can't use a mouse either because of a physical problem or who are browsing your site through a mobile phone or other type of browser.

Just out of curiosity: Several of the CSS Books I'm studying hard advocate using page navigation to help with accessibility: CSS: #pagenav { display:none; } On the Page: div id=pagenav ul lilinks here/li lilinks here/li /ul /div This is certainly a good thing and I've started using it myself on a few sites I'm developing now, but would not this very same thing possibly be seen as cloaking or using hidden text by various search engines and get you penalized in the rankings? Or, do the search robots pretty much ignore (for now) the CSS completely and view the list of display:none; links (and whatever else may be in there) as normal content on the page?

RE: CSS Question... is this possible?
Don't use the tables at all. If you simply use the div/div's to enclose it, it should be okay. the situation is that a table won't automatically refresh itself (especially IE). _ From: Jon Block [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 09, 2004 3:42 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: OT: CSS Question... is this possible? I have a situation where I have a content display page that is quite long. I want to split up the content into multiple pages. In other words, rather than having a really really long page, I'd like to break it up and use next/previous buttons for navigation. Let's pretend that the following table is my HTML display code.. table tr td /td /tr /table The following is what should appear on pages 1 and on page 2 Page 1 -- This is an example. Page 2 -- This is another example. In other words, this is the second page. This is another example. In other words, this is the second page. This is another example. In other words, this is the second page. This is another example. In other words, this is the second page. This is another example. In other words, this is the second page. This is another example. In other words, this is the second page. This is another example. In other words, this is the second page. This is another example. In other words, this is the second page. This is another example. In other words, this is the second page. Clearly, the content on page 2 is longer. That means that it would require that the HTML table that the content is enclosed within needs to be longer. Here's my question: I need to have the content and display code all live on a single page. I'm going to use a link and a little bit of _javascript_ to reload the page and div tags to mark off each page worth of content, and then toggle the visibility property of the div to flip between pages... something like this: table tr td div id=page1 This is an example. /div div id=page2 This is another example. In other words, this is the second page. This is another example. In other words, this is the second page. This is another example. In other words, this is the second page. This is another example.

In other words, this is the second page. This is another example. In other words, this is the second page. This is another example. In other words, this is the second page. /div /td /tr /table Although I've got this working on a basic level, the real problem I'm having is I don't know how to get the html table that surrounds the div's to adjust so that it is an appropriate height. For example, when I set the visible of the second page to TRUE (and the first page to FALSE) and I look at the web page, the content spills over the end of the HTML table. It's as if I need to somehow inform the HTML table to expand itself so that it looks like it integrates with the rest of the page. One approach would obvioiusly be to simply set the base table to use a really long height value so that its always longer than the content, but that means that on my page #1, there would be a bunch of empty space below the content and the bottom of the HTML table. Not good. Well, I hope someone out there had the time to read this and understands CSS well enough to steer me in the right direction...

RE: Section 508
Sure they can be. They might not be pretty, but they are readable. Check out either my site, or my blog.Grab the accessibility toolbars for either Mozilla/Firebird or IE (there are posts on my blog pointing to them). Turn off the stylesheets. Readable? Yes, Pretty, heck no. If you use HTML to provide structure for your content and not do any presentation in them, ie making sure your headers indicate structure h2's nested in h1's. and your presentation is entirely in your css, it works. For those pages which misused CSS for making content presentation (those major overlapping words come to mind), that mixed content with presentation and those aren't readable I agree. _ From: Dave Watts [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, January 14, 2004 10:21 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Section 508 A page can be styled in CSS using positioning, etc. and still be completely readable when style sheets are turned off.

For example the wired.com front page only uses stylesheets for mark-up and positioning, using just DIV, P, SPAN and Header tags attached to IDs. (This page uses best practices from accessablity point of view according to the W3). If one were to pull the stylesheet entirely then the page would show numerous links, ads, promotions, Terra Lycos branding, market quotes and information before going to the most important content to the reader-- the stories and their descriptions! While the page still functions and does not break (don't get me wrong, that's important too!) the user has a long way before having the opportunity to even read the important stories of the day.
