Re: [WSG] Odd space forming under navigational bar
Tables and inline styles. Interesting. Look at all that onmouseout/rollover - there's an image border or two specified. Could be those. Good luck //styles for the above element are in an external file :) On 01/07/2008, at 12:27 PM, bill kroon wrote: Hey all im trying to make what i though was a rather simple site.

Re: Re: [WSG] Standards compliance and Autocomplete
I have had the same question fluttering around in my head. the thought process for me begins with Accessibility: "can other people still get to the search result that the auto complete is attempting to show if the are using a screen reader or have javascript turned off, or there are bugs (like viewing via a mobile device)". Then there is the standards way of marking up information and following all the other best practice ways of doing things. William > Patrick H.

[WSG] Standards compliance and Autocomplete
Hi Guys, Just wondering if there is a standards compliant way of implementing 'autocomplete' on forms, which I believe is proprietry...? An example might be that there is a login and password field on a banking site and you don't want the browser to remember the data.

I do it here:

Like this, in

#bg {position:fixed; top:0; left:0; width:100%; height:100%;}

there is a way to do it by using svg images, but i'm unclear on the
process. i think that the svg files has to be edited for the images to
scale to a screen's resolution. but anyway, svg is the wave of the

for web images.

Re: [WSG] Scaling a background image
I do it here:
http://www.sydost.no/
Like this, in
html {height:100%;}
body {height:100%; margin:0; padding:0;}
#bg {position:fixed; top:0; left:0; width:100%; height:100%;}
.outer_framework {position:relative; z-index:1;}
And then I include the picture in my html, not the coolest thing but it
works:
http://www.sydost.no/images/bg.jpg"; width="100%" />
Hope it helps.

Re: [WSG] Scaling a background image
it seems that it used to, but the browser rendering has changed. i read, not too closely, in the svg specs how to edit the files to make it fit "infinite" screen resolutions.

Re: [WSG] Scaling a background image
I would have though a simple CSS width:100%; , height:auto might do it? does it need to be a background and will it conflict with anything at different sizes? ?
