Re: [WSG] background-image:

[Eunice Choi]

Hi,
I must be missing something here because I just don't get the concept 
of using background images as links. Could someone please explain?

Re: [WSG] background-image:

[Eunice Choi]

As far as I understand, a background image means just that, a image 
in the background. If something needs to be a link, I believe it 
should be in the foreground. Am I being too strict and literal?

What I was talking about and I think some other were too was being able to
have a href link attached to an image that is a background image,
particularly for banner images, so that they can link back to the home page
for instance.
Normally you can put a link right onto an image, but the question was, how
do you put it onto a background image.

Re: [WSG] Site review

[Eunice Choi]

Hi Moorey,
On Safari, mac FF and mac IE (5.2) there are no scroll bars on the 
homepage which means not everything on the page can be viewed.  Even 
if everything can be seen to start off with, things quickly disappear 
when you make text size bigger.

Cheers,

Hi everyone
We have just finished our department's site redevelopment (~4 months work).
http://www.properties.curtin.edu.au/
Our first go at full standards. Generated pages (ie content pages) 
by our in-house CMS aren't fully standard yet.  We are a Mac-centric 
team but have heavily tested on most browsers on most platform 
(including half-usable NS4.7 - attach ?css=none at the end of URL).

We're not sure where to start with 508 issues.. partially covered.
Comments/thoughts/critiques?
Many thanks
Moorey
