Re: [WSG] Text-only version

2008-11-20 Thread Tom ('Mas) Pickering

Rob -

What I would interpret that to mean is that, by clicking on the link 
in the footer, the visitor will be presented the content either 
without any graphics or without any graphics or CSS.  If it were 
merely a matter of the CSS being removed, that shouldn't be a 
billable item.  However, if all graphics are removed from the page, 
then you would have a different version of the page and that would be 
billable, though it would likely involve less time to modify the 
original template to have a text-only version.


In either case, I would seek detailed clarification of that line item 
from their estimate.

Dear list,

I'm involved in a CMS-based website project where the supplier has
provided me with a breakdown of costs - before I sign it off.

One of the items highlighted in the breakdown is a footer-accessed
link for a text-only version. The supplier claims it's the same
technology used/developed by the BBC - called Betsie.

Do you think it's a service I should be paying for? Although not
expensive, I'm wondering why the 'functionality' needs to be
highlighted at all? Surely, it's the same as saying we'll charge you
separately for css or html markup?

Thoughts...

Thanks,

Re: [WSG] Strange character encoding issue

2008-11-19 Thread Tom ('Mas) Pickering

James -

Ran into this as well and it bedeviled 
me for a couple of months.  Try adding the following to your head section:


meta http-equiv=content-type 
content=text/html; charset=iso-8859-1 /

Some of my characters, especially when using ' 
seem to mess up. This is the page, content and 
layout are simple as it's for a uni assignment: 
http://mi-linux.wlv.ac.uk/~0802390/overview.htmlhttp://mi-linux.wlv.ac.uk/~0802390/overview.html


Check out the overview.html page, and notice the 
issues. There is one noticeable in the overview page ‘SOAP’


Any ideas?

(for those interested I do plan to publish a 
website regarding the Semantic Web shortly).

Re: [WSG] Reset form fields to default values when user clicks the refresh/reload button in there Browser, not on the page.

2008-11-13 Thread Tom ('Mas) Pickering

Brett -

Here's the problem:  Different browsers handle that 
differently.  Firefox 2+ won't reset the fields on Reload, only on 
Shift-Reload.  IE 6.0+ resets on a simple Refresh.  What is the teacher using?

To Andrew:

What I am trying to do is get a form field to reset a value back to 
the default selected when a user clicks on the refresh or reload 
button in the browser, not the page (meaning I am not using input 
type=reset / to reset the fields). So, for example, lets say this code is:


form action=processorformquantity.pl name=heartSearch
select name=hsQty id=hsQty onchange=proc()
option value=00/option
option value=11/option
option value=22/option
option value=33/option
/select
br /input type=submit value=Submit /
/form

As you see the code above displayed in the browser, 0 will 
automatically be shown in the dropdown box (let's call it the 
default#). But, if the user changes the default# to let's say 2, and 
then decides to reset the page for whatever reason using the 
browser's default refresh or reload button, the user-selected 2, 
will change back to default# (or 0).


The reason is because for some reason, unknown to me, it is a major 
part of my grade.

The Reload Current Page button in Firefox, and I think the Refresh

How do I get a form field to reset itself back to its default 
value if the user has changed it?


Without clicking on a refresh/reload button on the page but 
instead using the browser's button.


The XHTML Transitional code I have is:

tddiv class=inmiddleof
  label for=hsQty/label
  form action= name=heartSearch
select name=hsQty id=hsQty onchange=proc()
option value=00/option
option value=11/option
option value=22/option
option value=33/option
/select
/form
/div/td

tddiv class=inmiddleof
form action= name=hSearchoutput
input type=text name=hsTotal id=hsTotal /
/form
/div/td
