and if you are wanting valid css then css3 will throw up errors in the
w3c css validator.



Not if you use the CSS level 3 validator ;)




It's at:

http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/#validate_by_uri+with_options

Under profile, select CSS 3

Don't know about Firefox.



I assume we're talking about the Web Developer Tool bar extension for 
Firefox? [1]


If so, it's quite customisable and you can change the validation level 
to CSS3

1) Go to the options tab on the developer tool bar
2) From the drop down menu select Options
3) From the menu on the left select Tools
4) You will then see a list of URLs, under Application/URL, click the 
one that says:

http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?profile=css21warning=0uri=
5) Then click the Edit button, you can then make changes to the URL:
To have CSS3 included in the validation, change:
css21 to css3
I'd also recommend changing:
warning=0 to warning=1 , this tells the CSS Validator to also show 
you warnings.

So in the end the URL should look something like this:
http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?profile=css3warning=1uri=

Also, while you have the web developer tool bar options open:
from the left select Validation you'll then see Validate Local CSS, 
under that, choose the CSS3 option

Click OK and you're done.

Now you can validate pages that contain CSS3 just by going to the 
developer tool bar and selecting Tools = Validate CSS.

[WSG] Feedback

2008-05-14 Thread Matthew Chambers
Dear sir / madam

I recently joined this mailing list and signed up for the daily digest
however I'm finding the digest hard to skim through to see if there is
anything of interest to me. It would be great if you had the subject summary
list at the top of the email which shows each of the conversations. This
would mean that we could easily skim read this list to see if there is
anything of interest. An extra bonus would be if you could just click on the
subject name and it takes you through to the thread in the website.

Cheers
Matthew

Hi Matthew,

Happy to chat with you about mail list options, but this should be sent to
the list admins, rather than to the list.

All of these sort of comments, enquiries, suggestions should go to:

[WSG] IE6 background image positioning problem

2008-05-14 Thread Susie Gardner-Brown
Hi there

I'm sure I should know how to fix this but I can't!

http://crunchie.tedi.uq.edu.au/trials/UCTLC/index6.html
http://crunchie.tedi.uq.edu.au/trials/UCTLC/uctlc6.css

That big image on the right is a bg image in a container that has absolute
positioning. It works fine in Firefox on my Mac, but IE6 it drops down. I've
tried conditional comments taking out the vertical position on the image but
it does nothing. 

Can anyone see what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks
susie

Re: [WSG] Embed a flash file 100%

2008-05-14 Thread nate hanna
var so = new SWFObject(main.swf, main, 100%, 100%, 8, #ff);
The value of #ff is what is causing your white bg at the top; this ends
up being the bgcolor attribute of the embed tag and is used as the stage
background color in flash unless you set the window mode (wmode) to
transparent. Window mode defaults to opaque; meaning flashes stage color
is shown.
