Re: [WSG] PDFs and other non-html files opening in a new browser window
The best way to deal with the situation is to clearly label the link as being PDF and let the user decide how they wish to proceed. I think this is good advice. Anecdotally, I most often encounter a PDF via a standard link and have therefore developed an expectation of what will happen when I click a link to a PDF. I imagine (again, this is anecdotal) that most other users have also developed a certain expectation of how a PDF on the web will open. I wouldn't want to throw them off buy forcing a certain behavior that clashes with their default behavior.

Re: [WSG] Blockquote
,,,and the cite attribute itself is optional, used only when the quote, as you say, is scraped from another site. :) The cite attribute is poorly supported by most browsers, in the sense that they don't do anything with it. However, you can use a CSS attribute selector and CSS generated content to display its value on your page. I'm not a CSS expert, so I can't code it up, but perhaps someone else will do it if you're interested.

[WSG] Full Width Striped Background with Centered Content
I'm looking for a CSS solution if anyone has time to take a look. I've centered two content divs within two wrapper divs stacked on top of each other. The wrappers each have a unique background color that stretches across the whole page. The content divs are fixed at 800px and centered on the page using auto margins. I reduced the width of my browser window to create a horizontal scrollbar, and then moved the scrollbar all the way to the right. The background colors do not appear in the area on the right that was formerly outside the browser window. Please try at the following URL: http://chriscressman.com/layout-test-simple.html Can anyone suggest a fix for this or some alternate CSS to keep the background colors regardless of scrolling? Thanks. ~Chris *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ***
Re: [WSG] Full Width Striped Background with Centered Content
Someone solved this for me. It was as simple as applying the same background color to the content and the container. Thanks.

Re: [WSG] Animated gifs
Re-designing a site for a client who wants to use the same header image from his old site. This is an animated gif with rippling water. Am I right in thinking an animated gif will not optimise?The pic is 1.21 MB ! The optimised version is 24.2 kb but alas, no moving water. I just read the following article that mentions one tool to optimize GIF animations. See step 4. http://yuiblog.com/blog/2008/11/14/imageopt-3/ Chris *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ***
