[WSG] Progressive Enhancement related article
List, I recently came across an article - possibly by Roger Johansson - where in the article the author discussed a web page design that was shown to 2 different people from the same client but in different locations. Based on the browser being used, they each received a different experience but each loved what they saw, not knowing each saw a slightly different experience. It may have been a fictitious scenario. Not sure. Does this ring a bell with anyone? I am going nuts trying to track it back down. It was one of those link-in-an-article-that-was-a-link-from-another-article kinda things and I unfortunately didn't bookmark it. If you know of this article, please forward a link - OFF LIST. Thanks a bunch, if you spend any time on this. I appreciate it. -- Tom Livingston | Senior Interactive Developer | Media Logic | ph: 518.456.3015x231 | fx: 518.456.4279 | mlinc.com *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: memberh...@webstandardsgroup.org ***
[WSG] Poetry needing block format but with line-breaks
Hi there I¹m doing a poetry zine. Quite a lot of poets want to set the way the poem looks as well as sounds; and one poem needs to be in block format, but with lines breaking at specific words, so I have to use the line-break ... Any suggestions on how I can do this? Otherwise I may have to put it in as a pdf image unfortunately (with a link to a page with the poetry in regular html but formatted as required) ...

Re: [WSG] Poetry needing block format but with line-breaks
This has come up a couple of times, and I think the controversial consensus is that poetry is one of the few times a br / tag is acceptable (since it's technically providing meaning to the paragraph). p This is a linebr / This is some morebr / I'm a poet to the max /p My poetry is eternal, no? ~bck On 17/02/2010, at 9:21 AM, Susie Gardner-Brown wrote: Hi there I’m doing a poetry ‘zine.

Hi Susie, did you try using pre to preserve whitespace (which includes line breaks)?

Oh, thanks Jens I forgot about that option!! I¹ll give it a go . And Brad yes I am using the br / tag, but that stops it being block-formatted ...

http://24ways.org/2009/ignorance-is-bliss is that article. Was by Andy Clarke for 24ways. I hope this was the one you were after.

Re: [WSG] ie8 not rendering contact form in compatibility mode
Thanks Kelper, I saw the same errors after i minified the javascript for swf. I have put the meta http-equiv=X-UA-Compatible content=IE=8 / and it has forced it to display correctly or forced it to display anyway.. Thanks for your input Craig Kepler Gelotte wrote: I am having trouble with a contact form not displaying on a clients computer. It appears to happen in IE8 in compatibility mode or IE7. I get a javascript error: Unexpected call to method or property access: swfobject.modified.js line 69 character 190 Try commenting this script out and see if the contact form stays put. If that keeps the form from disappearing, then my guess is you need to debug the javascript.
