Re: [WSG] div's going vertical instead of floating

2006-11-02 Thread Ross Bruniges
from my experience with these kind of issues they can be fixed with assigning fixed widths to each div (whether in px or em).another thing to try and avoid is using width: 100% on anything as IE can have problems with this (may need to use a hack or two to hide this from IE)its a bit of a stinker

they can also be of great value to screen reader users, they read through the page and maybe want to have a look through the rest of your site. now you could provide a skip link at the bottom of each article to take them back to the main navigation OR you could provide the footer containing

You touched a good argument for another discussion though. People do tend to rely on massive libraries though. The solution would be to centralise the libraries on one server and ask people to use these URLs instead, then they'd be cached on the first page they are used and subsequently

You shouldn't need a strong emphasis - the dt (definition title) implys that it has a relevance to the dd () below it and is indeed the title for it. If you just want it bold you can style it that way in the CSS - which I am sure you know already. - Original Message From: pepelsbey
