[WSG] fun with web standards
Someone just sent me this youtube link, titled The machine is us/ing us - it's actually a celebration of web standards in a sense, so I thought I'd pass it on. For those that prefer to separate fun from work, in addition to separating content from presentation, you could save it for later ;-) Rolf *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ***
[WSG] Is a span valid within a caption?
I can't seem to find a definitive answer on whether it's valid to include a span within a caption in a table. A colleague mentioned that Visual Studio has thrown a warning: Element 'span' cannot be nested within element 'caption' Anyone?

Re: [WSG] Is a span valid within a caption?
Thanks Paul, and Eugenio I did validate the code (no errors). I'm just checking to see if there's something I missed, trying to understand why Visual Studio would report an error.

A colleague mentioned that Visual Studio has thrown a warning: Element 'span' cannot be nested within element 'caption' According to the HTML 4.01 DTD, caption can contain inline elements. As span is an inline element, you should therefore be fine. !ELEMENT CAPTION - - (%inline;)* -- table caption -- If you're unsure about this sort of thing, run your output through the W3C validator... -- Patrick H.

Re: [WSG] IE footer problem at low resolution
Lynn, Check out footerStickAlt from the man in blue - http:// www.themaninblue.com/writing/perspective/2005/08/29/ Your css looks similar - you might read through his write-up and see if there are some clues. I notice that he uses position: relative for the footer, which you don't, and that might keep the footer in the normal flow. Just a thought.

If it's there to make the footer stick to the bottom, you might want to look at a different implementation. Thanks John but having removed it, the problem remains. http://www.westernwebdesign.com.au/test/newindex.html I am having more trouble with this relatively simple design than with far more complicated sites. . The problem only seems to occur in IE at res 800 x 600. At res 1024 x 768 it is fine and in Fx at 800 x 600 it is fine but at the lower res in IE the footer jumps up and some of it disappears behind other content. Have tried all sorts of fixes but obviously not the right one. Hope someone can spot the problem.

Re: [WSG] CSS SWF Stacking...
Helmut, Do you have a test page posted somewhere that we could see? It's difficult to tell from your description if it's simply a css issue (floats or positioning) or you need to add parameter wmode:transparent Rolf On Feb 17, 2007, at 10:50 AM, Helmut Granda wrote: Hello, I hope this question is in line with the guidelines of the list. I have 2 movies that represent the following... div swfmovie1 /div div swfmovie2 /div when I switch pages for some reason swfmovie2 jumps on top of swfmovie1 in IE. I have searched google/google.groups/yahoo and such trying to find a solution but I am stumped by this dilemma. I started with SWFObject then I thought maybe that was it so I switched to FUO and finally I thought it had to do with the DIV so I put everything in tables (just for testing) and still I have the same issue. Any ideas or suggestions? TIA *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ***
