Examples of bad web writing
Sun, 23 Dec 2007 15:58:12 +0000
Do you have any favourite examples of egregiously bad web writing?
I'm seeking examples of:
* verbosity and pretensiousness
* jargon and insider language
* useless headings
Thanks!

Add to favorites according to server stats
Sat, 22 Dec 2007 19:49:26 GMT
How the hell can server stat generators even estimate how many people are

To ask in a different manner;
Is this statistic something that proficient webmasters (shut up krusty)
consider a worthwhile statistic to show their clients?

Fangs

I use Fangs to see what pages might be like for a non-visual user.
Weirdly, it always adds " dash Internet Explorer" to the page's <title>
element. <http://apple.com> for example starts:
Page has twenty-eight links Apple dash Internet Explorer
What's all that about?

Illustrating universal accessibility
Tue, 18 Dec 2007 17:54:43 +0000
On a web page, I want to illustrate the importance of producing content
which is universally accessible.
I have a picture of someone using a mobile phone (device independence),
and of someone using a white-on-black display with huge text (special
visual needs).
I'd also like to illustrate the experience tot ...

html>body .unleaded {margin: 0;}
I wish Audi had done something like this to hide unleaded fuel from diesel
engines. I'm just hoping the warranty covers stupidity or else I'm facing a
¡ê600 bill.

Image in overflow: hidden
Sun, 16 Dec 2007 15:18:48 +0000
I have an image in an overflow: hidden - is there any way to have both
edges of the image clipped rather than the right edge, as the containing
element gets narrower?

A diabolical widths problem
Sun, 16 Dec 2007 12:32:54 +0000
I have a page, with a fluid columnar layout - the columns are divs
floated next to each other.
It has two main columns in it:
[ [menu, 20% width] [ maincontent 80% width ] ]
Sometimes in the maincontent section, I also have two columns:

Anybody else used Zoom search engine? or good at PHP?

I can't find a way in config to stop this- is there a way (except for
frames) to say "don't index this part of the page"?
