  1. I would not really consider Keywords as lifting content. They are likely desperate as their business deals in keywords which are of little real value anymore... and that for a few years. Search Engines no longer give keywords and weight.
  2. That is the original quote word for word, but actually cut out of the whole theme.
  3. I use border: 0 rather than outline... but same effect and whichever is fine. Only real issue is keyboards. If there is a rollover, all is fine. If there is no rollover you should never remove the dotted outline as it is the only way a person knows which link they are on tabbing through the navigation quickly with the keyboard. So you must always have some way the user can tell where they are when tabbing through links. If uit has a rollover, yea, kill the border around them.
  4. Hard to imagine it is for real... Accessibility nightmare.
  5. Just look for Stock market RSS Feeds. They should tell you if you can add it to your sites and the directions to it. Usually it is not a problem as that is what RSS Feeds are for, syndicating information to other sites.
  6. (It is not just about pointing out references and telling them how to build web sites, it is about making them long to build the best and most accessible web site they can.) & & (I like these for web accessibility)
  7. (he was talking however about Aircraft design, but still works for me.)

    Problems in IE

    Two things to note here. IE still does not support standards completely, so some things may be off. It may be best to look into IE Conditional Comments to deal with specific problems. Are you checking on a MAC? IE stopped supporting Mac back at IE 5.2, so it seriously lacks any support for modern standards and it will need to be checked with IE6/IE7 on a windows machine if you are not. If you are, disregard and check out conditional comments.
  9. They don't know what they are talking about. XHTML and HTML are two different languages and both current standards. See my post Thelma linked to.

    Image rollover

    Try Eric Meyers site to see what can be done with rollovers. http://meyerweb.com/eric/css/edge/. Also if you use Hover on a site, always use :focus doing the same thing. That is so keyboard users can see the rollover to to track where they are.

    Class or IDs

    You should be using IDs whenever possible. It makes the page more robust and you have control of the elements, two parts of the site may use the same class but it does not work in one or the other so you then need two classes. If the class is in different IDs then it can look slightly different in each. So ID's allow you more flexibility and they can be used with not just CSS but in scripts and programming too. The best sites are those built almost exclusively of IDs. I rarely ever use classes as I can do more with IDs. IDs may only exist once on a page. Classies can be used often on a page.
  12. Most of the regulars here are freelancers... I work for the state of Alaska.
  13. I would have said that too... but the Monkey beat me!
  14. To issues to consider: Security - Forums can cause all sorts of security holes, so do you/this other person know enough to deal with them. Other free forums have dedicated professional and experienced developers who do and keep on top of such issues. JavaScript is not supported on many user agents and can be turned off at any time... always use server side code like PHP when possible.
