Re: [WSG] Accesbility Help
Hey, I saw a funny one once. A site had a really basic math problem. Like 4x2 or something. Type in the answer and you submitted the form. Because it's HTML it's accessible. IceKat.

The service seems to be free and is set up to digitize old books that cannot be scanned, literally, one word at a time. Pretty amazing! From the reCaptcha about page[1] To archive human knowledge and to make information more accessible to the world, multiple projects are currently digitizing physical books that were written before the computer age. The book pages are being photographically scanned, and then transformed into text using Optical Character Recognition (OCR). The transformation into text is useful because scanning a book produces images, which are difficult to store on small devices, expensive to download, and cannot be searched. The problem is that OCR is not perfect. I think there's a strong relationship between reCaptcha and this group - via standards and accessibility. :-) [1] http://recaptcha.net/learnmore.html *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ***
Re: [WSG] Google chrome...
Christian, No it doesn't come with Google toolbar. I'm not sure if Google Accelerator is built in without the user knowing but it did load the Acid 2 test really fast (and passed it). I did a review if anyone wants to read it. I wondered the same thing about the Google toolbar and am hoping they provide the ability for addons like firefox. (eg the del.icio.us extension!). http://aldonasweblounge.net/blog/?p=90 IceKat PS- Thanks to those who replied for my image display float issue. Display block-inline worked great but not in IE (darn ie) so I'm still thinking. Inline worked if I didn't want a border around the image and caption so thanks to those who helped me out. :) Christian Montoya wrote: Could someone tell me if it has Google Download Accelerator or other Google Toolbar features built in?

[WSG] Images Paragraph Width
Hi,
I have a problem which I feel like I should know but apparently don't. :-)
I have an image which my CSS doesn't know (and will never know) the size
of. The image is in a paragraph with the class of 'img'.
p class=imgimg src=images/image.gif alt=pic /br /Regular
Image/p
What I want to do is put a border around the paragraph (not the image so
it goes around the text as well). What happens is the border winds up
the width of the whole page even though I have margin and padding set to
zero.
The CSS is:
p.img{
padding: 0.3em;
margin: 0em;
border: 2px solid red;
font-size: 0.9em;
}
How can I stop the border stretching the entire width of the page.
Unfortunately in this case float is not an option and I have a
limitation in that the HTML needs to remain as basic as possible. The
CSS can be as complicated as anything but the HTML needs to be simple.
Hopefully someone will have come across this problem before and be able
to point me in the right direction.
Thanks to all.
IceKat.

Re: [WSG] Encoding odities
I had this exact problem with Notepad++ as well. If you open the file in regular notepad or another editor you can see the charactors which wind up just before the first official characters (usually the doctype). I never found a way around the problem but I can say that PSPad is a great editor. Unix, dos or mac and can deal with lots of different programming languages. IceKat Barney Carroll wrote: Hello all, I've got a problem with character set encoding I'd like to rectify. I use UTF-8 as a matter of convenience and ideology, and don't believe it should be that much of a problem. My editor (Notepad++) is set to create new files in UTF-8 without a byte order mark, but when I retrieve files from my server it tells me that they're ANSI. I ran an automatic W3C validation of my markup just a second ago after making some edits and it warns me that no character set encoding was specified (even though the first tag in my heads is meta name=content-type content=text/html; charset=UTF-8). More than a little confused about this. Could it be that this is a contradiction with the fact that my files are somehow converted back to ANSI by the server or something? Any help much appreciated, Regards, Barney *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *** *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ***
Re: [WSG] Marking Up Poems
I've been reading the marking up poems thread with interest but it seems no one has made what seems to be the most obvious suggestion. When I was still in class we had an exercise with a poem and used an unordered list. Would this be a viable option? You could even have a different list for each verse and then still do the fancy styling. What do people think of that as an option?
