In reply to: Different urls for same item: how to stop?Thanks for the explanation moshu. Absolutely obvious. Silly me. 😮 Serves me right for working so late. Feel free to ditch the entire thread if you want, waste of space! LOL. Night
EDIT: We’ll learn to post a few lines of code when there’s easy to find and clear instructions on how to use the tags on this system. I don’t mean to whine, but “Put code in between
backticks” is exactly what I’ve been doing, to no avail. <shrug> I’m offForum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: User controlled CSS file?Yes, I know you can style input buttons 😉 I love what can be accomplished with CSS (even design definition lists so they look like tables! but I digress).
I ended up using an input button, with a conditional statement. So the user sees the “High contrast” option when they are on the default view, and the “Default” option when they are in high contrast view 🙂
I’m nearly ready to upload to live server, then it’ll be show and tell if y’all are interested. I certainly could use feedback and constructive criticism on my very first WP theme. 🙂
Forum: Your WordPress
In reply to: well, here goes nothingWell, hello there! Hadn’t looked at your site in a while, and I see this post of yours here, so I checked it out now that I’m venturing in the wonderful world of WP. Very very nice. You certainly achieved a “non-blog” look, which is cool.
I still have to get in touch with you ’bout that hosting thing 🙂

In reply to: Drop down menu without a pluginHey, sometimes the most obvious thing stares us in the face for hours and days and we don’t see it 😉 I’m glad I could help 🙂
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Drop down menu without a pluginHello,
I’m really new to WordPress, so my solution may not work for you, but… Here’s what I’m thinking.
The default theme that comes with WP delivers pages/subpages in the sidebar in nested uls (I think). If you use that code in the header.php in the appropriate place, then use a bit of css magic, you should be able to get there.
Look for something like “horizontal suckerfish css menus” on google for the CSS styling, you should get a few hits.
The advantage is that it’s purely css driven, so it remains accessible and usable even if you access the site on a text-only browser (like a wap phone, for instance).
HTH

In reply to: User controlled CSS file?Wow, go to bed, come back, and a good discussion ensued! Cool. Thanks folks!
@dodlebee, you’re right, cookies isn’t an issue, unless of course the user has cookies turned off, but at that point, it’s not my problem anymore, and is certainly not an accessibility issue 😉 PHP is fine, ASP, well, I try to stay away from that <grin>
@moshu, a theme switcher might work, but is really cumbersome, as it means I’d have to basically copy my theme files and just have one css file different. It is a better approach to be able to change the one css file which is really lightweight.
@maerk, Thanks for that. I’m unable to test it until I get home later today, but I’ll let you know how that goes.

In reply to: User controlled CSS file?Thanks for the prompt response maerk. However, while ALA generally has fantastic solutions, in this particular instance, I can’t use it.
I need a solution that doesn’t rely on javascript. Again, the site aims at people with disabilities, which may, or may not, have js enabled/running/accessible. While it is more likely that people with low vision needing the high contrast style would have js turned on than someone relying on screenreading, I cannot afford to make the assumption.
Therefore, I need a non-javascript solution.
I’ve found a plugin that appears to do the trick, but it was done pre WP1.2 and I’m not sure if it’ll work, and if it doesn’t, how to fix it. I may be fluent in html/css, but while I can read php, I’m by no means a code jokey 😉
