Re: [jQuery] plugins page
Someone hacked it and put their website address on it. Why do people have to be such jerks? So that they wouldn't get the publicity, I replaced their site with a under maintenance message. jQuery.com uses a wiki, but modifications aren't revertable? Kinda questions the use of the term wiki. -- Morbus Iff ( is this a cut out bath-poster Morbus, or what? ) Technical: http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/au/779 Culture: http://www.disobey.com/ and http://www.gamegrene.com/ icq: 2927491 / aim: akaMorbus / yahoo: morbus_iff / jabber.org: morbus ___ jQuery mailing list discuss@jquery.com http://jquery.com/discuss/

Is there anything in the CVS to look at? I'm working on a microformats module and I'd like to look opening an API for other modules such as yours to use the formats like hCalendar and hCard. Psst. You know who I am. I already reviewed microid in IRC earlier today.

Thanks for the feedback everyone.

Re: [jQuery] Accessibility. Take it Seriously in Your Web Apps.
I completely and totally disagree with the court in this case. At what point does it stop? Does my personal blog need to be accessible to the blind? What if I don't care about them? Why should the courts get involved in this No, your personal blog doesn't need to be accessible because it does not have a commercial brick and mortar store. Much like government agencies have to follow accessibility in the real world (and are /required/ to do the same on the Web with US 508), commercial entities have the same basic requirements (wheelchair ramp). These laws extending to their commercial entities on the web is not a huge leap to make. I just think that we're taking things like this a little too far, IMO. !//-- andy matthews web developer certified advanced coldfusion programmer ICGLink, Inc.

Re: [jQuery] Accessibility. Take it Seriously in Your Web Apps.
I think the hardest part for many web developers to grasp, including myself, is how web accessibility is handled in web apps. Just hearing the term web accessibility makes it sound like a massive task when it may be as simple as placing text in ALT or TITLE tags. Since I've never coded for this personally, I can't say whats involved but I will be looking further into this as I'm sure that my clients, one day, will be At my old job, we did a large number of government websites, which had to meet up with 508. In 90% of the cases, you were fine if: * you wrote the HTML/CSS yourself - no WYSIWIGs. * you didn't use tables for presentation purposes. * you didn't use Javascript for necessary features (this wasn't that bad for me anyways, cos I was never much a fan of JS for features, and our clients didn't really want them anyways). * every image that was a link had a text equivalent somewhere. and yes, title and alt attributes [1] not just on images, but also on /every/ a element. And writing strong alt/title is the key too - saying Click here to visit the Features page is NOT what you're looking for. * you validated your HTML and your CSS at validator.w3.org, and validated every page against Bobby. Honestly, if you start with a strong and semantic and validated X?HTML design, adding the accessibility to just that HTML is easy as pie. Adding accessibility to jQuery would be a whole 'nother issue. From an Ajax perspective, though, I'm not sure of what the implications are and with the dynamic nature of Ajax-enabled apps, I'm sure that there are additional challenges that we'll face. For my needs, if you can't bookmark the results of an AJAX application, it's not ready for prime time. Note that this is the /exact/ metric I applied to good Flash apps. [1] There is no such thing as an ALT or TITLE tag - they are attributes. Please start referring to them as such. -- Morbus Iff ( omnia mutantur, nihil interit ) Technical: http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/au/779 Culture: http://www.disobey.com/ and http://www.gamegrene.com/ icq: 2927491 / aim: akaMorbus / yahoo: morbus_iff / jabber.org: morbus ___ jQuery mailing list discuss@jquery.com http://jquery.com/discuss/

Re: [jQuery] Sortable table plugin in the wild
Which means it won't work in IE, right? No idea - I don't run any machines with IE. I just loaded up Parallels, and it doesn't appear that anything related to jQuery on those pages actually work (tablesorter, or the hider on the inner pages -- and since tablesorter sets the CSS id, I can't tell if the :before/content works). I don't care enough to fix it immediately -- about 60% of my visitors are not using IE, and the pages degrade nicely enough. If you can eyeball the fault immediately, lemme know ;) -- Morbus Iff ( in japan, i'm known as a puchi-iede. ) Technical: http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/au/779 Culture: http://www.disobey.com/ and http://www.gamegrene.com/ icq: 2927491 / aim: akaMorbus / yahoo: morbus_iff / jabber.org: morbus ___ jQuery mailing list discuss@jquery.com http://jquery.com/discuss/
Re: [jQuery] Sortable table plugin in the wild

Re: [jQuery] Sortable table plugin in the wild
You probably shouldn't be fine with 40% of your users have no visual clue *at all* that they can do something. Or am I missing something? Considering that these lists are largely for my own purposes, yes, I could care less ;) Note, however, that the lack of :before or content isn't entirely a huge loss - the header of the table cell itself is also colored. Granted, it's certainly nothing that I'd proclaim or sell to clients as Finished, but these particular lists don't need to be. They're not a site -- merely a list of something I collect. Will I someday fix the error that is causing the jQuery elements to not work at all in IE? Yes. Do I plan to stop everything I'm doing to do so, when the data itself, and not its interaction, is most important? No. -- Morbus Iff ( my name is legion, for we are many... ) Technical: http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/au/779 Culture: http://www.disobey.com/ and http://www.gamegrene.com/ icq: 2927491 / aim: akaMorbus / yahoo: morbus_iff / jabber.org: morbus ___ jQuery mailing list discuss@jquery.com http://jquery.com/discuss/

On a sidenote...if anybody knows a very good PHP developer (by very good I mean someone with OOP experience) as well as CSS/JS (jQuery!) experience, I don't measure very good by whether someone knows OOP or not.
