RE: [WSG] web check
Hi Georg, Many thanks for your comments - much appreciated. I will get on to the 'more' links and add the names. Need some font-resize testing and improvements. Text is overflowing containers in the good browsers under certain conditions, and IE6' 'auto-expansion' bug is not very kind to that layout either. I spotted this and need to take the height attribute off some divs or maybe bring in some kind of auto scroll. A generous 'min-width' is needed for supporting browsers. What does this mean? Making the page wider than 850 pixels if the space is there?? Why would this help? I don't think you need more than one IE-expression for 'min/max-width' in that layout - on the outer wrapper, and it definitely needs some tuning for trigger/fix-points and smoothness of action. Can you expand on this as I am interested in knowing more about it. Thanks, Max. *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ***

Hi All, Can someone tell me the best way to check my website for 'accessability'?? I have done a standard HTML and CSS validation so I can be 100% before advertising the fact in my footer etc. But is there a 1 click Y/N tester for accessibility that works in the same way as the W3 site checker for validity??

Re: [WSG] *Pure* CSS drop down menu
Hi Christian, I am pretty new to all of this and by no means any kind of expert - so I am reading this all with interest. I have often been told that pure CSS is a good idea as javascript is something that can be turned off - is this true? I am very much in the camp of pushing envelopes etc - but in the 'page' - at the end of the day, maybe navigation is the one area where you need to stick to what works best across all scenarios. I think the most important phrase for this kind of thing is 'graceful degradation'. I personally think you should have a menu that looks exactly as you want it with all bells and whistles - on the perfect platform say a std FF browser. Then it should be capable of degrading as each bell and whistle is removed. As part of this process I guess trade-offs are made and that is the beauty of every client being different. Where one may leave off a bell to help out a particular group of users ... another may ask for a bag of whistles and stuff 'em! So, I am quite clear on what you DON'T like - but what about these great combination menus with CSS and javascript? Can you point us to some of your work? I am not really interested in key tab navigation right now - I'd just like to see: 1. How good these 'super-valid' menus can look. 2. What methods are used to achieve them and how they cope with the 'turning off' idea I have mentioned above. I look forward to hearing your thoughts.

Re: [WSG] *Pure* CSS drop down menu
Dear lord Christian, what was that about? Do you preach to everyone? I was casually agreeing with your views on usability etc (whilst trying hard not to mention your attitude towards other posters) ... and you give me a lecture? You even cut my paragraphs in half to allow you to treat my words out of context and respond with another lecture ... please do not do that. There are some good open discussions on here but a few too many people that like to here themselves preach and some very poor awareness of common courtesy ... alas another forum ruined by a minority. I'd like to tell the council that I am not paying for not getting any service, yet I have to. Every shop owner would like people to not complain but just come, buy and leave, but that never happens either. You don't build web sites for yourself, you build them for people to come to them and either buy stuff or tell you how great you are. If your attitude is that you decide what people are allowed to talk to you (or which bells and whistles are good for them), you shouldn't wonder when not many come. This is normally the step when people start thinking about search engine optimization, cause surely this is why nobody hangs around or not many people comt to the site. ummm - are you telling me how to run a web design business? Are you briefing me on how to address a client's needs? If you are - please don't. Can you people not help being condescending or are you doing it to annoy me? Max.

[WSG] Max-width issues
Good Morning All,
I am having a bit of a problem with the old 'max-width' issue in IE and
would like to know your thoughts on the subject.
If I add this to my style sheet:
#outer_wrapper {
max-width: 800px; }
Then I am fine in FF but not in IE - in IE the outer container just
keeps stretching with the browser window. So if I add the following,
then all is well in all browsers BUT the code is no longer valid:
* html div#outer_wrapper {width: 800px /* fallback value */;
width:expression(((document.compatMode
document.compatMode=='CSS1Compat') ?
document.documentElement.clientWidth :
document.body.clientWidth)
1000 ? 800px : (((document.compatMode
document.compatMode=='CSS1Compat') ?
document.documentElement.clientWidth :
document.body.clientWidth) 570 ? 552px : 99.7%));
}
Is my syntax or something incorrect or is there just no way of adding
this fix without going 'invalid'?? Does the above code even belong in a
style sheet as it doesn't look like standard CSS to me. So you know, I
am a designer who is wholly self taught in XHTML/CSS/PHP so there are
huge gaps in my 'education' - I would therefore appreciate careful
handling. Having said that, the 10 years I spent in the military when I
should have been at Art School does mean I am capable of taking it
'straight' - I would just appreciate it if any derisory comments about
my code were followed by a helpful tip of how to put it right ;-)
Many thanks.
Kind regards,
Max.

Re: [WSG] Max-width issues
Hi Germ,
i must have the syntax wrong - just tried that and it stopped IE
working in addition to still being invalid CSS.
Was your whole CSS like this:
#outer_wrapper {
max-width: 800px;
}
* html div#outer_wrapper {width: 800px /* fallback value */;
width:_expression_((document.documentElement.offsetWidth
820)? "800px": "auto" );
}
I just tried this in my style sheet to no avail.
Cheers,
Max.

Re: [WSG] Max-width issues
Your syntax is correct, and if you've got the values right it'll work fine in IE6 (and IE5+ win). Ref: http://www.gunlaug.no/contents/wd_additions_14.html An IE-expression is by definition: proprietary, non-valid, CSS - you can't make it valid. Nevertheless; IE-expressions belong in CSS, and nowhere else. You can hide it - and other non-valid workarounds for old IE-win - from the validator by putting them in a separate stylesheet, linked to from inside a 'conditional comment'.

That seems a shame as it is a good tool I think - does anyone else use it or is it valid code only in here? The only other way (in my scenario) is to add a transparent image 'over' the background to line up with the div - but this is a bit of a 'fudge' and seems a shame when there is code to do the job.

Re: [WSG] web check Part II
Max, Just a very cursory look on my end, and some hasty notes... It may be a good idea to view your page in a test browser and validate the markup. What is your page about? Should the document title and the h1 heading read: Tiverton Rugby Club? View your page in Opera/9.01 and then compare it to Firefox/1.5.0.6. Do you want the page centered or hugging the left viewport? Best, ~dL Hi David, The page isn't about anything yet - the rugby club content is merely to pad the structure - I am looking for a cross browser happy layout at this stage. as to alignment - I usually go for centred but this layout has a max of 1000px so I guess it'll only 'hug' the left viewport (less the 20px padding) in browsers (less IE) set to be wider than that. I'll have a play. right now - just making sure it doesn't go awry in any particular browser/platform combo. Hope that makes sense?

You clearly exposed me as an individual who actually is fighting for spiral staircases and disrespects all forms of democracy, no no - it wasn't a joke - you're quite justified don't worry - I can only help that my platform provided you with a satisfactory position from where to correct me. Misguided? I'll take my chances there - to be honest - going to war in Iraq with a 50 year old weapon was misguided, but I survived that. But offensive? If you can honestly tell me that you as an individual were offended by my humour then I can only wholeheartedly apologise as it is something I do not take any pleasure in and until tonight had managed to avoid. All of my websites these days are valid, clearly constructed and encourage access by all members of society using all variations of hardware and software.
