[WSG] DIV Javascript Problem

2009-06-29 Thread Aaron Wheeler
Hi All

I was wondering if I can pick all your brains on an issue I am facing.
I am not a big coder and good when it comes to JavaScript. I have recently
taken charge of maintaining a website for a client who uses divs to display
data onto a .htm page. They do not want to use .php and mysql data basing as
they are worried about losing their ranking in the search engines.
Here is an extract of the coding.

 - obviously
imports the divs with the prices attached.


And in the .htm document I have the code.


So I was wondering why this does not always work and especially when I seem
to update pages using dreamweaver.
I dunno how this works or why it even works.
I am trying to convince the client to turn their whole site into a database
driven site so these problems don't happen and you do not have bad code
however we all have clients who do not wish to listen so any advice would be
great.


If you have any issues regarding this email please feel free to contact me
on the details below.

RE: [WSG] Writing authoritative content

2008-10-25 Thread Aaron Wheeler
Thanks Edward
You have been a very good help to me, I will try to be as accurate in my
magazine as possible and that is why I am asking for help (I will pass pdf's
of the magazine as it goes along the production stage for all you guys to
have a look if you like and let me know).

I would appreciate any ideas, what would you like from a magazine. I am
trying to include good informative articles on current issues with browser
compatibility as well as the focus on css3 when it is released full with
browsers that fully support this function.

So any ideas you or anyone else has on what you would like please let me
know.

If you have any issues regarding this email please feel free to contact me

Subject: RE: [WSG] Writing authoritative content

I don't doubt your intentions, the more useful resources there are the more
the standards are raised but people will "interpret" / "get led by" / "take
as gospel" information they receive when the source of the information is,
in their eyes, authoritative. With this comes a responsibility to be
factually accurate and be of unquestionable quality. Just look at the UK's
current education system for the results of poor teaching, economically
unproductive numpties who struggle to spell correctly.

I wouldn't worry too much about arguments, let it fall on deaf ears, but do
heed knowledge and experience from seasoned coders here, after all, it's
something you'll be expecting your readership to do ;) WSG is a very
productive list for students of standards so you're definitely in the right
place.

I wish your magazine every success.

Aaron,

I'll try and be as constructive as possible but I have to point out a few
things and make some suggestions?!

People who read articles, magazines, discuss on boards, are in large,
learners. We're all students of the Web but all too often we learn on the
advice of others with, what we perceive to be, authority.

The contents of this month's issue states: perfect menus, perfect layouts
and clean code. Now, may I ask on what authority do you claim to be in a
position to write such material? The reason I ask is when I read your post,
I checked out your website, www.stageguy.co.uk, blindly hoping for a useful
resource but instead I was met with a seriously poor mix of HTML which
chokes the validator and makes no sense. Beyond this I checked out your
portfolio and even your clients websites share the same poor mix of HTML
which makes no logical sense (but somehow renders).

Since this is a "standards" list, I'd hope this would be a bigger priority
before imparting your knowledge of CSS, after all, how can you effectively
style poor, invalid markup when the markup is the foundation?

Apologies is this sounds like a bashing, I don't normally post but it's just
I've spent two days with some "web designers" and I've been (not literally)
wringing their necks trying to unlearn authoritative information about
markup and style they've read on the web.

I hope you see this in the light it was meant for. Don't try to run before
you can walk, sort your website out, improve the quality of your clients
work and perhaps you'll have great success as an author and we can all read
and learn, as I've previously mentioned, we're all students of the Web.

Re: [WSG] Is it a good/bad practise to have more than one same link url?

2008-09-29 Thread aaron
In my personal opinion if you are linking in an article you should abay by
these rules

1 link on 1 image only 
1 link as a source
1 link as a forwarder 

that is all, any more and it will start affecting you seo as google and
even yahoo will take this as a spam attempt

Re: [WSG] WE05

2005-10-02 Thread Aaron Tate

Quoting Katrina <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:


Gday,

I was lucky enough to be able to attend WE05, and I was listening to 
something Tantek Celik said and I've been mulling it over for a few 
days, and I just thought I'd ask a group who'd know.


Context: I'm a uni student, so I don't know much.

Going back to Tantek Celik, he was referring to meaningful markup and he said

"Who has ever seen a div with a class of header? Why not use a header 
(eg.) element?"


I may not have understood that. I may have misheard that. I'm sorry if I did.

Aren't the header tags reserved for text? Is it acceptable form to 
place non-textual elements only inside of header tags? Eg. src="image.jpg" alt="An image"> ?


I dont beleive it is, however it is perfectly acceptable to set the 
image to the

css background property, and use negative indentation to remove the text from
the display.

A plugin huh?, I've always wondered what the difference was between
having to have the flash plugin and having to have a web browser? it is
very hard to see any html css website without the correct plugin (that
is a browser), so why does it suddenly become so much worse when flash

Yeah but my fallback positions for older browsers, like say netscape 2

ignoring more modern tags but I haven't really tested it recently.

These links are really useful as I work in advertising and it is a
constant battle to get any kind of adherence to accessibility
requirements. But also because there are many flash designers out there
who would like to learn but haven't found good resources.

[WSG] IE/Win Layout Gaps

2005-02-10 Thread Aaron Feaver
My site ( http://www.feaverish.com ) looks as it should in Safari, 
Mozilla/Firefox, and IE 5/Mac. However, IE/Win produces strange gaps in 
the layout. My entire CSS is at ( 
http://www.feaverish.com/wp-layout_book.css ), but it is basically 3 
divs inside a larger containing div. The three internal divs all have 
background images, making the page look like a book (with a fixed 
height/width top image, a fixed-width/variable-height middle image - 
for the main site content, and a fixed height/width bottom image). The 
containing div is absolutely positioned at the very right edge of the 
viewport.

In IE/Win all three divs (or at least their background images) are 
shifted a few pixels to the left, ruining the look (you have to see the 
site to get it). Worse still, the bottom div,  and its image, are 
spaced 50-75 pixels below the div above them, with a glaring whitespace 
gap in between! This totally ruins the continuity of the "book," as the 
bottom div's image forms the bottom edge of the book.

This is my first website, and the CSS is very amateurish, but it is 
XHTML 1.0 Strict and the CSS does validate. I've posted this problem in 
several design and coding forums but haven't received any help so far. 
Anything would be greatly appreciated.

[WSG] Site Check: AITP; Illowa Chapter

2004-12-06 Thread Aaron Holbrook
Hi everyone, first time for me to ask for you all to check a site for
me, but I'm sure it won't be the last.

I believe it renders fine in most browsers, except one flaw (advice
would be MOST welcome):
I have no clue how to get the navbar to render fully - if there is
more content than navigation links (or you simply resize it smaller so
that it overflows).
I'd ideally like the navbar section to be a solid color all the way to
the footer.  Any suggestions?

http://143.226.165.202/other/aitp";>Illowa Chapter; AITP

I've tried using the: min-height; but it won't render correctly in IE.
So, I'm stumped.
Thanks a million!

[WSG] Text selection in CSS layouts

2004-11-27 Thread Aaron Pollock
Hi folks,

Can anyone help as to why (in IE at least) it's not possible to select/copy
text without selecting other content automatically in this page?

http://www.marketingmixers.com/new.php

This happens to me a lot on CSS layouts but I've never had a definitive
explanation. This time, a client's asked for one. Any way I can fix it?

Thanks,

Aaron

RE: [WSG] IE's New JavaScript Blocking Feature

2004-11-27 Thread Aaron Pollock
To be honest Lawrence, I think the only way to get round a pop-up blocker
that works on all pop-ups (including those generated by a click) is to open
the link in the same window rather than a new one. Other than that, you'll
have to include instructions for users to turn off their pop-up blocker for
the particular site they're viewing.

Most blockers, including IE's, allow themselves to be disabled on a per-site
basis.

Subject: [WSG] IE's New JavaScript Blocking Feature

I've got two questions but as they are different topics completely, I will
separate them into two different threads. They kind of relate, but not
enough, so here's the first one regarding IE's New JavaScript Blocking
Feature:
--

IE's new content blocking features are wreaking havoc on my methods and
designs!

For the longest time I've been using the included JavaScript w/
rel="external" (http://www.sitepoint.com/article/standards-compliant-world)
method to have links open up new browser windows while keeping the code
valid. I know that I've got to use these methods to keep the code valid as
standards compliance outlines that you shouldn't opening new content in
different windows. BUT! With some of my applications, I'd like to have new
windows open while keeping my code valid anyway.

The extremely irritating this is, no IE has that lovely content blocker
(added in with Service Pack 2) that cause the JavaScript to be blocked. Sure
you can just tell it to include the content and off you go but for those
that don't know any better, (and trust me, I to Tech Support for an ISP and
there are a lot of people that don't know any better), it's a real pain and
the chances that your pages will not be rendered properly are too high.

Any thoughts? Ideas?

Thanks

[WSG] Border gap

Title: Border gap






Hi folks,


The following is a work in progress but I have a problem…

HYPERLINK http://newsite.websitedirection.com/ http://newsite.websitedirection.com/


The green border going across the bottom of the header div is not touching the right hand side of the wrapper div and I can't work out why. Margins and padding are set to zero.

Any light someone can shed on it would be much appreciated.


Thanks,

[WSG] Weird horizontal list 100% width problem only in IE6

2004-11-26 Thread aaron



Hi All,
 
Works perfectly in FireFox, I'm only having this 
prob in IE6.
 
http://www.micra.com.au/multimedia/
 
Howcome the blue sub navigation list never expands 
to the full width of the screen? It seems to pick a random width based on the 
number of items in the list. If you browse around the site, you will see it 
varies in length!?
I have width:100% for this list in my css file, and 
it works perfectly in firefox.
 
Any ideas??Thanks heaps.
Aaron.

Why not just create this kind of atmosphere in a forum, instead of an

filtering through dozens of emails each day (which I'm sure no one

RE: [WSG] WE04 Summary (blowing my own trumpet)

2004-10-28 Thread Aaron Pollock








Hi Nancy,

 

Any of the positioning rules which you
apply to div tags can also be applied to any other block level element like
headings, paragraphs, lists, and so on – even images if you define them
as block elements in your style sheet.

 

Simply position the block element itself –
you don’t need to wrap it in a div first unless you’re grouping
more than one element. Hope that makes sense!

There was a similar discussion on CFAussie - and I agree with you totally.
Not what I consider user-friendly.

Oh boy. Thanks for the heads up on that one :)

According to ZenGarden, CSS allows us to easily have all 5 designs at
the click of a link. You could add a "design" flag to each member and let
them have which ever design they wanted yeah?

[WSG] Tables are bad because...

2004-05-13 Thread Aaron DC




... heya all - just joined the list for interest's 
sake and am slowly making my way through some of the posted CSS-savvy sites. 
Somewhere along the way someone decided tables and in particular nested tables 
are a bad thing (tm) - I am curious as to the reasoning/history behind this, and 
the penalties I will receive when I release the new website design for my 
website :)
 
Regards,
Aaron

A "complete" for your course looks much better to prospective employers on
the resume than "DNF' - so good for that reason. The other thing is -
nothing (or close to it) you learn at uni will be directly used in
employment. Uni should teach you to teach yourself, teach you to think and
teach you to communicate.

I would even encourage you to do the 3D subjects etc, as it will be a
paradigm shift to some extent - broaden your mind into other ways of
thinking / approaching problems.

Good luck :)

[WSG] [OT] World Wide Web Conference

2004-03-30 Thread aaron . webb
Title: [OT] World Wide Web Conference





Can anyone give me feedback on the World Wide Web Conference (www.www2004.org).  I was thinking about going but would like to know if anyone has ever been to it.  It was kind of hard to tell from the website everything that is going on and what it is like.  You can direct your comments to the discussion list (http://discuss.webstandardsgroup.org/archives/07.htm).

Thanks,
Aaron
