Bert,

So you used to be an ISO9001 auditor - I still am one.

Tell me, HOW DID YOU ESCAPE ???

Re: [WSG] Mac IE hack and CSS validation

2005-07-05 Thread jrcherry
Quoting Kenny Graham [EMAIL PROTECTED]:

 I'm not sure on the specifics of the hack you're using, but it should
 validate if you put a space after the *.

Yes, definitely a space, but if 

* htmlbody 

is a chain of descendant selectors (with the '' representing a direct
parentchild pair), 
what could possibly be the parent of html ?

Since the only reply to my query about the practice of hiding link targets was
from Olajide Olaolorun himself

 It is from Google. My host requires me to put it there in exchange for
 the free hosting :)

It must be that everyone accepts it.

Re: [WSG] Website Review

2005-03-20 Thread jrcherry
Can I get some opinions on the practice of hiding link targets?   

When I hover near the sponsored links in http://www.uniformserver.com/ the
target of the link doesn't appear in the status bar.

I'm not really complaining about this particular site, but I tried something
similar a while ago, with a bit of Javascript, and then realised it might be
construed as concealing something from the surfer.

I found it irritating that a link could take me to somewhere I don't want to go.

Is it a good practice?

-- John.
