Also (being incredibly nit picky - which seems to be a trend on the list
tonight) the page you pointed us to has a title of "Untitled Document" as
opposed to the far sexier "Ryan Rollovers". :)
I noticed that. It also has a CSS rule declared twice [1], the second
time with the correct value, but it's not my page so I would have to
contact the person who owns the site to let him know.
[1]
ul#nav li a#roll:hover span {
background-position: 0 -50px;
}
ul#nav li a#roll:hover span {
background-position: 0 -25px;
}

A good one. It may be worthwhile adding a declaration inside one rule set so
that text doesn't poke out under the image when font size is increased. This
can be fixed by adding something like "overflow: hidden;" inside the
following rule set:
ul#nav li a {
display: block;
position: relative;
width: 100px;
height: 25px;
background-color: #eee;
overflow: hidden;
}
Also (being incredibly nit picky - which seems to be a trend on the list

opposed to the far sexier "Ryan Rollovers". :)

Is it possible to add support for MSIE and CANVAS to MSIE
through some 3d-party solution and make it scriptable?
http://sourceforge.net/projects/excanvas
*1. CORE ECMAscript ABSTRACTION*
As of version 1.5 Firefox has picked up speed in its support of core
JavaScript functions. With version 2.0 there will be more, and
JavaScript 2.0 is on the horizon.
Some functionality can be backported to older versions and other browsers:
if (typeof Array.map == 'undefined') {
Array.prototype.map = function() { /* code here */
}
There are many people who've already done this. IIRC, Prototype (or
another like that) provides many of those. Dean Edwards has also
provided many of those features using his Base.js
http://dean.edwards.name/base/
*2. DOM abstraction*
Similar problem and similar goal as in step 1. If it is not possible to
produce an equal solution, it might be better to add a function to my
toolkits DOM-namespace.
Example1: Event handling.
Question: is if it's really necessary to introduce a function name for
this? Couldn't it be feasible to make this workaround for MSIE behave so
alike the real addEventListener that we simply could go with that name?
See my DOM extensions. I wrote this last year and have used it for
several projects. There are a few problems with it and I would like to
clean it up one day (I started to, but haven't put much time into it yet).
http://lachy.id.au/dev/script/examples/DOM/DOM.js
*3. BOM abstraction*
BOM = Browser Object Model
Few standards exist so it is probably best to use a toolkit-specific
namespace.
What exactly do you mean by the BOM? Are you referring to things like
the window object? If so, see this.
http://www.w3.org/TR/Window/
Example 2:
Most toolkits tend to come up with a function to "push" and "pop" class
names. That's a must have.
See the proposed DOMTokenString in Web Apps 1.0
http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#common
Example 3:
There might also be a need for some utility functions to handle
CSS-shortcomings or browser specific CSS-implementation shortcomings...
Perhaps that's a category to itself, though.
See Dean Edward's IE7 script.

Re: [WSG] Rollover Problems [was:messed up]
Any chance someone could have a quick look at this rollover affect using css and one image? It looks good in Firefox but screws up in I.E.. This is my first post to the group so if I have done this wrong please let me know! http://www.newleaffinance.co.uk Yes you did: 1) Start a new thread by sending an email to the list using a proper subject that explains your problem 2) Never quote anything that is not of any importance to your mail 3) Never post on top and quote a lot of text following it, keep your posts in context. You can only get help when people know what you want.

I can successfully browse and read Gmail on a Nokia 6103 using the built in browser, but Opera Mini must offer better features to convince users to download another browser - especially given the limited memory available in mobile phones. Opera Mini has seen huge take up since we released it this year, and growing. we've had well over 1 billion page views now from Opera Mini through our servers. Two of the greatest features of Opera Mini are that it will work on phones where no other browser will and free to download -- it even works on old phones with greyscale screens. It is also cheaper to surf on phones as all processing is done server side and a compressed binary is sent to the phone. Less data is sent to the phone and the phone doesn't have to do and there is no complex processing on the phone. Things like scrolling is also very fast. It'll also work on many sites not designed for the mobile web, due to the reformatting and being a full html browser instead of a walled garden wap browser. Of course, Opera Mobile can do much more as it is a fully blown browser, designed for smart phones and PDAs and all the processing is done locally, on the phone itself.Phones are getting more powerful all the time, so there will probably be a time when both products get closer to each other. We are always looking to improve our products. -- Regards, Steve Bathurst Computer Solutions URL: www.bathurstcomputers.com.au e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mobile: 0407 224 251 _ ...
