[WSG] Mobile Phone Emulators

2010-10-02 Thread Cole Kuryakin
Hello All -

I've been tasked with setting up a few form pages to be viewed on mobile
phone devices.

Currently I'm using Adobe's Device Central - which is okay but it really
doesn't show how the forms (particulary select lists) will be shown on
various mobile devices.

I've also tried the online Opera emulator which seems to work pretty well,
but what about Nokia, Motorola, Samsung, Apple, etc., etc.

I've read on-line that for Nokia and Apple you've really gotta download
their SDK in order to accuratly test webpages - true?

Would greatly appreciate any advice from those of this group who develop
mobile viewable pages (particulary forms) on where to test your efforts for
the best compliant and visual result across the largest number of mobile
devices possible.

Cole

Re: [WSG] SVG vs SWF

2010-10-02 Thread Sven Dowideit

SVG - whats SWF? :)

what I really mean is SVG _is_ a proper standard, whereas SWF is a 
company format... you may as well use rtf.


and svg-edit really is a very amazing thing (especially the next release)

[WSG] An accessible HTML5 WordPress theme

2010-10-02 Thread tee
Thanks to all who answered my HTML5 questions in the past week. Here is the 
first result of my learning and I am releasing the theme under GPL license.

http://lotusseedsdesign.com/temple-gate/
Find the download link in the first sticky post if you want to use the theme or 
study the theme files.

I would love to gather some feedback on the use of HTML5 elements in the theme.

These are the HTML5 tags used in the theme:

• header
• nav
• footer
• aside
• section
• article
• time
• form attributes:
• search
• email
• url
• placeholder
• required

In the HTML markup example page (please ignore the content as it was copied 
from XHTML markup example I wrote), scroll to the bottom, you can see that the 
table got cut off-it's declared with 450px width right now. My guess is there 
isn't enough space to accommodate seven columns and that the word in TH can not 
be wrapped. Is there a way to fix this?

The next step I would like to learn to do is to draw the “kasagi” sharp using 
Canvas.
