Re: [WSG] skip flash intro question

2005-04-16 Thread Karl Brightman
I had to do this for a job once and all i used was an anchor in the 
flash movie and then called the anchor up when sum1 went back to the 
main page. Hope that helps.

I'm wondering if a site would be more accessible if the flash intro

detect
browser for the sight impaired and skip the intro then too.

I'm new to javascript and flash too so any comments (directly is 
fine) are
appreciated.

Thanks,

Re: [WSG] Quick h1,h2 etc question

2005-02-01 Thread Karl Brightman
Have to remember that search engines will read the contents of header tags so i think best way is for heading text, titles etc. For list headings i think it would be easier to using a seperate style.

The second option i think is the better way to go though, just for organization and nice and clean and structured.

Thats what i think anyway :)

Hi, 
I'm sure this has been asked time and time again and is probably a daft question, but which is the proper way to use header tags? Thanks in advance for your patience and help!

Jamie 

Is it... 
= 
1) All headers must be used in order only, so most important headers go at the top then grade downwards with less important headers always being lower down

= 
h1>/h1> 
h2>/h2> 
h2>/h2> 
h3>/h3> 
h4>/h4> 
h4>/h4> 
..etc 
= 



Or 



= 
2) With the exception of h1 used once, can you set the headers out loosely in the same tree structure lists are set out in? So h3 would only be used as a child (but not nested within) of an h2, h4 as a child of h3 etc? Then reading downwards through the headers, you're allowed to move backwards say from an h3, back to an h2? I'm not sure how to explain my question, but basically I think, can you define tree structures with headers? or do they have to be used in an ordered numerical hierarchy?

= 
h1>/h1> 
    h2>/h2> 
        h3>/h3> 
        h3>/h3> 
    h2>/h2> 
        h3>/h3> 
        h3>/h3> 
            h4>/h4> 
            h4>/h4> 
    h2>/h2>

Hey Mani,

Looks nice, good balance and the colours mix nicely.
I think the one thing that looks a bit odd is the  space for text between the advert on the right and the middle section. The text seems quite squashed but i guess it all depends on whats being placed there.

Good work

Good Day All,

I'm developing a new site and was wondering if you guys could take a
look at the initial layout.  It's a bit more complicated than I tend to
do with xhtml/css and I'm wondering how it's holding up so far.

I welcome any feedback.

Thanks!

Re: [WSG] Review of website please

2005-01-21 Thread Karl Brightman




Hey Miles,

Wow, i live in WA but never heard of you guys, good to see a company in
WA that likes standards :)

Im not so sure about the flash like others have said on this site, big
size to load and not so sure about the animating bomb sparks, started
to annoy me after a lil while. The rest aint that bad at all, just the
flash causing a few problems in size i think.

Once again good to see some places in WA on here :)

  Hi CSS gurus, :)

We've just launched our new website, having had a quick CSS learning curve over the last few months, and would love opinions/feedback/criticism of it. Everything is game - let me know it all, no matter how bad. :)

Please have a gander at http://www.bam.com.au

On another topic, the WA web industry association has just released its 'What to ask your prospective web designer/developer' document. I'm hoping some of you may have a use for it to hand to prospective clients, or indeed have some feedback on that as well.

It's URL is http://www.port80.asn.au/docs/Port80_whattoask.pdf 

Cheers  thanks in advance,

I normally stick to dreamweaver and notepad on my windows machine and
skedit,stylemaster and terminal on my mac but played around a little
bit with ultra edit and worth a look. :)

 BB does XHTML, PHP, CSS etc.. built in FTP, HTML Tidy, FTP etc... You
name
 it, it's got it.

I use one called Editpad Pro.  It has downloadable syntax for a number
of different languages, a dictionary, tabs which allow you to work on
multiple items at once, a project feature that allows to save all of
your files for easier retrieval later, the ability to connect to a
mail server and send mail, and a host of other things.  There is a
free version, and a pay version.  It doesn't have the ability to FTP,
but since I shy away from FTP as much as possible, this software works
great for me.

 Anyway on the Macintosh these editors rock:

 Not cheap, but worth every penny IMHO, Textwrangler is now a free
