[WSG] breadcrumbs
Happy new year you crazy coders ... I believe there was some code or an article for creating 'breadcrumb' trails on a website. Anyone remember an article on this subject?

[WSG] Nokia ignores XHTML DOCTYPES?
Just read this one and found it quite shocking: http://blog.outer-court.com/archive/2004_01_05_index.html#107329348165573660 How come it IGNORES the CSS if it's not a Nokia-only DOCTYPE[1] or a XHTML Basic[2] one? Wouldn't even XHTML Transitional work, or did I miss something? Weird.. cheers, /Anton [1] !DOCTYPE html PUBLIC -//WAPFORUM//DTD XHTML Mobile 1.0//EN http://www.wapforum.org/DTD/xhtml-mobile10.dtd; [2] !DOCTYPE html PUBLIC -//W3C//DTD XHTML Basic 1.0//EN http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml-basic/xhtml-basic10.dtd; -- What your body lacks, your head compensates. * The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ *
RE: [WSG] breadcrumbs
Many thanks Lindsay. It'll be interesting to see if I can sort it out (being a designer first and definitely a coder second) but it's good info to have. Cheers!

[WSG] Small bug

Looks to me like you just need border=0 on the images (or .nav a img
{border: 0;} if you're that way inclined)

Title: Small bug Hi Peter, Much obliged y'all. Hey, and work in progress exhibited on this list is confidential, right? Members of the list would adhere to this I'm sure, but remember that the list is publicly archived at http://www.mail-archive.com/wsg%40webstandardsgroup.org/so it does go to the public if they happen to look there. If anything is extremely confidential then maybe making a non-client related page with the same problem is a good idea. P

Hi Peter Firstly - this is a public list. Anyone can sign up all messages posted to the list are archived online at http://www.mail-archive.com/wsg%40webstandardsgroup.org/. If you want to keep something secret this list is not the place to do it. I don't mean to come across as being to harsh, but please check over Russ's email at http://www.mail-archive.com/wsg%40webstandardsgroup.org/msg00835.html (extract below) and also Mark Pilgrim's Why we won't help you post at http://diveintomark.org/archives/2003/05/05/why_we_wont_help_you. I guess the main issue is that before we can accurately diagnose your issue provide suggestions we need to be working with a valid site. Your site does not validate, in fact it does not even have a doctype. If you have issues with getting the site to validate or with picking a doctype we'd be more than happy to help with that, but lets deal with these issues before getting into specifics of padding and so on. Please don't be discouraged by this post we are more than happy to help you but we need to get the fundamentals in place before we're going to make any real progress. Cheers Mark --Russ's post (2) posting CSS layout or rendering problems to the list. One of the primary goals of this group is to help members move towards building sites that are standards compliant, so we do not want to stop members posting questions of this nature to the list - in fact, we encourage it! However, as discussed before, it is preferable to gather all the layout problems you may be having and post them in one clear email rather than many smaller emails. The guidelines for posting problems are: 1. Set up a sample page that shows just the problem in action. 2. Validate your HTML code 3. Validate your CSS code 4. Test the page on a range of browsers - as many as you can get access to. 5. Post you problem to the list with the following info: - a link to the sample url - a link to the css file if it is separate - a short, clear explanation of the problem - a list of browsers and how they render the problem -- -- Mark Stanton Technical Director Gruden Pty Ltd Tel: 9956 6388 Mob: 0410 458 201 Fax: 9956 8433 http://www.gruden.com * The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ *

Re: [WSG] Small bug
However, I believe it is {border: none;} as opposed to {border: 0;}
Maybe it works both ways, or maybe things have changed. Correct me if I am
wrong.
