Re: [WSG] XHTML Marquee
RichardI would suggest not using Marquee effect if at all possible. IMHO, finding such code is almost playing the accessibility standards game, rather than making something truly accessible and usable. Moving images / text will be difficult for some people to read, and if links are embeded, a moving object would be impossible for some to click on; likewise such a link could most likely not be tabbed into. If this is a client request, maybe you can pursuade them not to use this approach an find an alternative.

Re: [WSG] XHTML Marquee
Hi Rob, Normally I'd agree with you, but a Stock Ticker is something of a tradition in the industry and I think the users are used to the idea. Here's what I've put together. That is an assumption. It's like saying popup windows were an convention over the years and people should be used to them. Instead, people use popup blockers. Animation should always go with moderation, and if you want to think about accessibility, you should also include an option to stop it or control its speed. My favourite bad example is http://tfl.gov.uk, a wonderful informative site that keeps crashing my firefox as they had to use a java applet for scrolling a ticker. *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ***
Re: [WSG] XHTML Marquee
RichardThe colour contrast is high, I personally could live with it. maybe tone it down a bit, however keep it within the guidelines (use colour contrast analyser 1.1 or similar) As is, the colours are basicaly fine within the usual colour blindness tests. If the text size is proportionate with the rest of the site, keep it. It can be resized by the user. Using h4 in the way you have is possibly good for SEO, if that is the desired effect. However I would recommend a span if not and it was for visual effect only.

Re: [WSG] XHTML Marquee
I think one animation going across the page isn't going to kill people. Like most scrollers, mousing over it pauses the animation. And how do I do this with a keyboard? I'm not saying your implementation is not good (actually it is very thorough), I'd just be _very_ careful about claiming something is accessible, as that is a very subjective matter. Technical accessibility is just assumption. While I agree that everything should be in moderation, many people seem to go the extreme: no flash, no animation, no movement. I think there's room here to have a balance. No, you just need to provide a means to stop and to change the speed. Both is very easy to achieve with JavaScript and two links - which are also keyboard accessible. In terms of 'crashing' your browser, this is why I'm hoping that the information is available whether you have CSS or JavaScript turned off. If anyone thinks it's inaccessible, I would be eager to here why and hope that you can offer alternatives to make it accessible. That is the Java Applet, not your example. For some reason their classes never load properly. *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ***

RE: [WSG] Semantics - (was : class names and IDs (which was p:first-line))
I always call the group of elements on the top of the page #header, but I don't interpret it as a positional name at all. I believe that the header of a document, whatever it is, groups important information of the same kind. We can find on the header of a document, for example, the name of the company - or person, the main title of the document, important transversal information that helps in reading this document. So now, where - or why - can we put this group of content other than in the beginning of the doc? Why should somebody want to put the company logo at the bottom of the page? The problem here is to understand the role of a document header, imh.

I think so... until we get a algorithm built into CSS and Browsers that says place this image in the container so that the text flows around it with the least orphaned words then we're going to have to make choices about should it float left or right and whilst I think left and right are *wrong* as class names I can't think of a way to differentiate classes for image placement that make any long term maintainable sense. the argument for semantic class names can be used to argue for left and right in this case - e.g calling something p.red now means headaches for maintenance in the future when p.red is now green, but creating img.typea and img.typeb is just as much a nightmare if you forget which type floats which way... Pragmatism rules. I want my CSS to be flexible, meaningful and written so I can read it like a story (preferably without a translation guide...) likewise the (x)html should make sense too, so when I look at the code and the CSS in an editor I can picture what it *should* appear like. ;o) -- Join me: http://wiki.workalone.co.uk/ Thank me: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/registry/1VK42TQL7VD2F Engage me: http://www.boldfish.co.uk/portfolio/ *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ***
Re: [WSG] Trouble with float layout (IE6 versus Firefox)
Thanks to Kepler for tinkering with the CSS and to everyone else for their input on this.
The html below allows the floated divs on the right to stack when resolution gets to 600x800.
(in both FF and IE6 Win)
The primary containers needed % widths and there needed to be enough extra room in these divs so that when the resolution is 600x800 the individual child divs do not overflow their containers and cause browser-specific weirdness in IE6
!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC -//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//ENhtmlheadtitleStacking Floats/title

div#leftArea div { width:390px; background-color:#A0A0A0 }div#rightArea { width:44%; float:right; display:inline; border: solid 1px blue}div#rightArea div { width:205px; float:left; display:inline; background-color:green }

On 9/6/06, Kepler Gelotte [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
in your testcase, Firefox, Safari, Opera and other modern browsers drop the whole box containing [green div 1] and [green div 2]. That
is the correct behaviour in this case: the width of the floated parent is not specified, and depends on the width of the content (known: the width+padding+border+margin of the 2 floatedgreen divs;
the width for those divs is specified).If you float the child div's right instead of left as in:div#rightArea div { float:right; width:220px; background-color:green;margin:2px }the parent div id=rightArea takes on a width of 100% in FireFox.
In Opera the body definition:body { margin:20px }causes the top margin to jump between 20px and 40px when you resize thewindow both horizontally and vertically.I guess all browsers have their quirks.

Tony Crockford writes: Agreed, for general elements, but what about for images within a column of text.. the placement of an image within a column would still be subject to mirroring in theory, so i'd nbe inclinde to avoid descriptors of left and right. the concept of left and right in terms of floats, margins and padding is problematic enough in templates designed for multilingual environments that I'd avoid references to left and right anywhere else.

RE: [WSG] The DOM
Can I ask a DOM question here? Is there a way to use JavaScript and the
Dom to make an element be focusable?
If the item in question can receive focus (e.g. input ... or a ...),
then add an id to the element:
input type=text name=phone id=phone ...
And then use:
document.getElementbyId('phone').focus();
If the element can't normally receive focus (e.g. divtext in need of
attention/div), then you can dynamically wrap the text with a href=#
id=focused. I would suggest using the jQuery javascript library to do any
dynamic wrapping.

Here's a script for I often use applying focus to form elements for IE. I
call it focus_js.js and It could be used for anything, they just need to be
added as indicated below. If used with another script, just add it to the
existing script file.
// Begin scripting
window.onload = function() {
// What elements do you want to assign which events to? ADD more as needed.
var objEvt = {
input : [hover, focus],
select : [hover, focus],
textarea: [hover, focus]
};
// spare use variables
var temp, tempLen = 0;
// hover/focus functions
function hoverFunc (){this.className += ' hover';}
function unHoverFunc(){this.className = this.className.replace(' hover',
'');}
function focusFunc (){this.className += ' focus';
if(navigator.appName.indexOf('Explorer')!=-1){
// For clearing a URL/web address input of placeholder except http://
if(this.value==this.defaultValuethis.name=='url') this.value='http://';
}
}
function unFocusFunc(){this.className = this.className.replace(' focus',
'');}
for(var i in objEvt){
temp = document.getElementsByTagName(i), tempLen = temp.length;
for(var j=0; jtempLen; j++){
for(var k=0; kobjEvt[i].length; k++){
if(objEvt[i][k] == 'hover'){
temp[j].onmouseover = hoverFunc;
temp[j].onmouseout = unHoverFunc;
} else if(objEvt[i][k] == 'focus'){
temp[j].onfocus = focusFunc;
temp[j].onblur = unFocusFunc;
}
}
}
}
}
// End scripting
To use it you link it like any other script then wherever you have the
:hover and :focus pseudo elements in your CSS, add .hover and .focus
classes.
:active isn't used in this case.
Hope this helps.
Respectfully,

RE: [WSG CMS] Strict CMS
I am interested in a CMS that is: * XHTML Strict * Built-in Accessibility features. I also need one that has the following: * Blog with commenting * RSS syndication * Events calendar and option for people to sign up for events * Basic image galleries * Search options * Donation option in the future I was looking at Xaraya or Web GUI. But any advice would be much appreciated. CivicSpace was designed to do all of these. It is built on Drupal. You can demo either at: CivicSpace: http://www.opensourcecms.com/index.php?option=com_contenttask=viewid=510 Drupal: http://www.opensourcecms.com/index.php?option=com_contenttask=viewid=132 Mark W. ** Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] **
Re: [WSG] web check please??
John 'Max' Maxwell wrote: Hi All, its very early days but I am trying to tie down a solid cross-browser 3 column liquid layout - I'm really only at 'wireframe' stage but have shoved some content in to make sense: www.project.ex16.co.uk I am looking for cross-browser friendly resizing of the browser window, wanting the left and right columns to remain the same with a fluid centre column. A constant padding around the whole site to show the slight gradient in the 'body' - and the site should not exceed 1000px in width. It should also handle resizing of text ok. I next want to look at full disabled access etc - can anyone recommend a solid and well represented, up to date resource for this area of web design?? Please do not say google it - I want advice from people who have used it - there are websites and even published books out there turning out code that simply doesn't work to the degree it should. all comments greatly appreciated. Kind regards, Max. You have a nice site going, Max. I do not think that min/max width is supported in IE, although I think it is in IE7. For IE/6.0 and down I think you will need to use your favorite IE min/max workaround. If you do not have a favorite work around, you may want to get things going well cross-browser at width 100% first (sort of first things first principle, if you will). Faux column sidebars http://www.alistapart.com/articles/fauxcolumns/ might be a nice touch, too. As far as a layout is concerned, we trip into personal opinion. You could stick with what you've got. Or, the 3 column layout on this page http://www.alistapart.com/articles/negativemargins/ is robust, stable and works well cross-browser (and the tutorial includes implantation of equal height columns-- faux columns). And, primary content first in source order variations on the same negative margin concept may be found here: http://blog.html.it/layoutgala/ (although some of these become more difficult to implement the any column longest principle). But either way, the zooming (up or down) of text is not necessarily a layout function, but rather one of understanding the Web-- how she works, and how we can work with her, to to deliver meaningful content, at any screen resolution or zoom set. Just letting stuff (content) flow without restricting height on containers sometimes helps to resolve some of these issues.

Re: [WSG] XHTML Marquee
I've updated the script and taken in to account the contrast factor as well as the accessibility issue. If I were to take it to the exterme, I'd dynamically generate the control links. As it is, i've chucked them into a separate div http://www.grafx.com.au/wip/marquee.html That is not the extreme, it is a prerequisite. Rule 1: JavaScript dependent elements should be generated with JavaScript, otherwise you promise functionality that may not be available. *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ***
Re: [WSG] REST HTTP error codes and responses for form/parameter validation
On 05/09/2006, at 11:37 AM, Matthew Cruickshank wrote: Is there any convention or standard for this? Not that I've found. The Yahoo's web services API documentation says that 400: Bad request. The parameters passed to the service did not match as expected which seems about right for missing parameters. http://developer.yahoo.com/search/errors.html Interestingly this is the same approach as the REST client in Rails, which expects a 400 Bad Request for validation errors: http://dev.rubyonrails.org/changeset/5068 REST obviously lends itself to HTML forms as API documentation (textareas, select boxes, etc.), so I've been providing that and returning HTTP status codes and XHTML. My CSS classes are exception names for machines to parse (though I should also include them as http X-something headers; and it would probably be better to send XML+client-side-XSLT rather than XHTML). I guess if they were expecting a HTML response then a 200 OK with XHTML would be best (so you can test with forms), but if they wanted XML then you could return a 400 Bad Request. Do browsers render the response from 400 responses? I'd prefer to always be sending the same response code, it just feels wrong to be varying response codes depending on the accept header. -- tim *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ***
