RE: [IUG] I.E. 7 and the Rel 2006 example set

["Sue E Boggs" <boggs at ups dot edu>]

I just noticed that on the download page it says "Your feedback on this
example set is greatly appreciated. Should you find any issues, please
report them to dsanders at iii dot com". Well, actually that line is missing at
the end of the description for the 2006 example set but it is there for
2005 and 2006LE so I think it is just an oversight. We might all try
submitting our various issues to Dinah and see if fixes make it into the
next release of the example set. It does seem to get updated throughout
the year. I know the Pro one was updated in August and again in
November.

Ed,

I will switch the curmudgeon on:

On our web redesign team, we have college's webmaster, marketing's art
director, and the good part, librarians from all the departments of the
library.  We have the marketing strategy mapped out and the best part,
we designed testing strategies and recorded on camtasia how students
performed the specific tasks we assigned them, so we know exactly what
works and what does not work in the comfort of our office. 


Curmudgeon off:

Still, we have system problems to be solved. I tried to submit calls to
get Innovative to look at our staging port design, but got no response.
So we will soon launch with a couple of defects on and hope to involve
Innovative to solve them as we go along. Two of the defects are not
mission-critical so we can live with them.  Is it a risky idea? Anybody
cares to comment? 


Don

I did live with it and hammered out a page that is at least fairly 
consistent across various browsers.  Fortunately from me we hired a Web 
Designer and *she* has to deal with it now.  :-)

You should always be able to use one stylesheet (per media display type 
anyway), but Innovative's lousy classing makes it awfully hard, though 
not totally insurmountable.

The fact that iii seems to be going the multiple stylesheet route for 
their new product is another disaster, in my opinion.

Fact remains that CSS specifies rules only for valid html or xhtml. 
And innovative makes it impossible to supply that so they don't actually

have any basis for complaint if different browsers render things in 
different ways. They need someone to explain the idea of semantic html 
to them, very badly. Their html really is a disaster and a shame.

OK, curmudgeon mode off.  Thankfully I no longer have to deal with it.
:-)

Ed
