The inbox for 31/5/2003, the first one posted in Blighty and the focus this week is mainly on lists and style sheets. It’s also the first post with full titles in the href tags and acronym identifiers… it’s all very exciting and accessible.

1. A cool way to highlight links in the body of text is shown here, barely visible until you cursor roles over the paragraph in question. In this example though it’s a little too subtle.
2. Now this I really like, a list based css formatted tabbed menu and it’s even got CSS show/hide sub menus. Here you can read more about the background on the development of this technique.
3. The W3C has ,finally, put up a comprehensive list of all the valid DTDs (DTD)
4. On dev edge another article on making a business case for fully CSS based sites
5. Accessify.com has an interview with Bruce Lawson, on standards, accessibility and Dreamweaver.
6. Just a darn cool example of using PNG opacity.
7. From A List Apart another quite superb article on Taming lists. Which pointed me to this article on dev edge on list indentation.
8. The first inclusion is a dHTML style drop menu using style sheets at Gazingus.org. However that site still made use of JavaScript to get the pop up working whereas this version here, makes full use of CSS. Downside only work in the latest browsers (read Mozilla… :)).
9. CMS watch has an Interview with Lou Rosenfeld on IA and CMSs. He explains the differences between the two (IA = Spatial, CM = flow), looks at the disciplines and highlights some of the different type of IA approaches and styles there are.
10. Here is a site, which demonstrates the awesome power of CSS.
11. Over at Dev Edge a interesting article on Inner browsing, i.e. getting page elements to make remote calls to a server to update dynamically
12. After looking at the Segment Publishing (incidentally a beautifully developed site in xHTML and CSS), I spotted a set of geographical related tags in the source code. These are used for geographic based search engines. I investigated these a little as I had decided to add some geo tags to my pages as well. The site is with all the info can be found here. It also had a set of tgn tags, and here is a tool for determining yours. Searching for my location returned the following result. Once you have completed all the tags you can submit it to the search engine here.
