[WSG] Survey on the Adoption of Web Standards
Hello fellow members of the web standards group: I'm a faculty member at Kent State University in Kent, Ohio in the US. My colleague, Sanda Katila, and I are conducting research on the extent to which web standards are being adopted into the design and development of web sites, and we would very much appreciate it if you would take the time to complete our survey. By doing so, you will help us gain knowledge about the processes and problems associated with adopting web standards into web design and development practices. We can share this knowledge with management, clients and other stakeholders to show them the importance and state-of-the-art of web standards adoption. In addition, we can administer this survey on an annual basis to compare with prior results to measure the changes in web standards adoption. We are really excited to find out what people are doing. You will find the survey by clicking on the following link: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=espUJiWK_2bExygsQP3vRjkQ_3d_3d The survey itself takes between 20 and 30 minutes to complete. The researchers will protect your confidentiality by leaving your names unassociated with any data collection. Please do not hesitate to contact us for preliminary results of the survey. We will be distributing the results through publication channels and when we do, we will contact various lists to alert subscribers to the publications. Thanks for participating, should you decide to do so.

That's certainly an idea, but legends are notoriously difficult to style
reliably across browsers. I'd go with something similar to Thierry's solution:
HTML:
Postcode:
second part of postcode:
CSS:
.hide { left: :-em; overflow: hidden; }

What should be the best approach for this I don't know about "best", but I think I'd divide the page horizontally, where the bottom portion contains the lists, and the top everything else. Make this two divs and then place the column parts in their respective div. Perhaps semantic purists might take exception, but I contend that the semantic weight of a div is fairly neutral. Any more elegant solutions, anyone?

[WSG] columns with matching vertical alignment
Hi all, I would like to know the best (or at least better and simple) way to achieve this kind of design. I have uploaded a sample design image for convenience: http://www.hellobenlau.net/design.gif Basically I need to have the lists at the bottom of each columns to match up vertically, but the content paragraph above it is supposed to be dynamic (clients could enter a novel if they wish). I don't think setting the list to be position:absolute and bottom:0 would be ideal, nor setting a min-height on the paragraph. What should be the best approach for this? Thanks a million! *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ***
Re: [WSG] Re: Form (layout/accessibiity)
Shaun,
Somewhat new subscriber to the list, first time respondent...
It's a bit late of night, but if I read this right, if this section
(as it is a form, right?) is wrapped in a you can then hide
both labels and use legend to identify that's it's postcode. I'm
relatively new in this web malarky, but have been working on a lot of
form pages for a web app, and think are as good
as, and as easy to work with as 's. So if your carries
your id, then you can target your form elements. So to take your
snippet..
Postcode
Postcode:second part of postcode:name="PostCode2" maxlength="4" />
Then style the font etc of the , and hide the label the same
as your CSS, and size the input likewise.
Example - #postcode input { width: 2em;} #postcode label { position:
absolute; left: -px;}
Alternatively, if you can't or won't use then you might use
a Definition List. The term postcode is the , then just add input
elements in the and use title to explain the input use for screen
readers.
To all the more experienced members, please step forward to clarify or
correct my advice.
Your faithfully,
I've got no signature set up,

Try:
left:-em; /* it can't be unitless */
As a side note, if you hide it off-screen, there is no need for font-size
and color in that rule

[WSG] Re: Form (layout/accessibiity)
I have created a form which acts as a interface to a system outside of my
control. This takes UK postcode in two parts (postcode1 - the initial part
e.g. ng1 and postcode2 the later part e.g.7sw)
Is it appropriate that I have one label for two inputs or does anyone
know of a surefire way to hide second label I have tried this but it does not
seem cross browser
html snippet
Postcode:second part of postcode:
css selectors relating to this
#su_housing input.postcode
{
width:2em;
}
#su_housing label.hide
{
position:absolute;
left:;
font-size:0;
color:#fff;
}
Would appreciate anyones thoughts help
Many Thanks
Shaun

CLOSED, again Re: [WSG] Help
Hi This thread has previously been closed. If you want to continue with it, either do so off list or alter the subject to something descriptive and ask questions in the context of web standards. If you are unsure of what is on and off topic for the list, consult the mailing list guidelines, a link to which helpfully appears at the bottom of each email.
