Web Standards for E-books
E-books aren’t going to replace books. E-books are books, merely with a different form. More and more often, that form is ePub, a format powered by standard XHTML. As such, ePub can benefit from our nearly ten years’ experience building standards-compliant websites. That's great news for publishers and standards-aware web designers. Great news for readers, too. Our favorite genius, Joe Clark, explains the simple why and how.

Flash and Standards: The Cold War of the Web
You’ve probably heard that Apple recently announced the iPad. The absence of Flash Player on the device seems to have awakened the HTML5 vs. Flash debate. Apparently, it’s the final nail in the coffin for Flash. Either that, or the HTML5 community is overhyping its still nascent markup language update. The arguments run wide, strong, and legitimate on both sides. Yet both sides might also be wrong. Designer/developer Dan Mall is equally adept at web standards and Flash; what matters, he says, isn't technology, but people.

Accent Folding for Auto-Complete
Another generation of technology has passed and Unicode support is almost everywhere. The next step is to write software that is not just “internationalized” but truly multilingual. In this article we will skip through a bit of history and theory, then illustrate a neat hack called accent-folding. Accent-folding has its limitations but it can help make some important yet overlooked user interactions work better.

Training the Butterflies: Interview with Scott Berkun
Whether it’s in front of a huge audience or a handful of executives, smooth public speaking is essential to a successful web design career. Yet most of us are more afraid of speaking in public than we are of death. In a lively give-and-take, Liz Danzico interviews Scott Berkun, author of Confessions of a Public Speaker, for tips on how to prepare for public speaking, how to perfect your timing, and what to do when bad things happen.

Words that Zing
When someone consults a website, there is a precious opportunity not only to provide useful information but also to influence their decision. To make the most of this opportune moment, we must ensure that the site says or does precisely the right thing at precisely the right time. Understanding the rhetorical concept of kairos can help us craft a context for the opportune moment and hit the mark with appropriately zingy text.

The Problem with Passwords
Abandoning password masking as Jakob Nielsen suggests could present serious problems, including undermining a user’s trust by failing to meet a basic expectation. But with design patterns gleaned from offline applications, plus a dash of JavaScript, we can provide feedback and reduce password errors without compromising the basic user experience or losing our visitors’ trust.

Using SVG For Flexible, Scalable, and Fun Backgrounds, Part I
Many of us think of Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) as an also-ran: fine for charts and tables, but not much else. Yet SVG can actually enhance a site’s overall design, and can be made to work in even the most stubborn browser. In Part I of a two-part series, Shelley Powers covers important basics of working with SVG, including browser support and accessibility.

BITV mit Links zu HTML und CSS
Die Barrierefreiheit von Webseiten wird in Deutschland durch die “Barrierefreie Informationstechnik-Verordnung”, kurz BITV geregelt. Wenngleich sich der Wirkungsbereich nur auf Seiten von Behörden erstreckt, hat die BITV auch eine große Bedeutung für Unternehmensseiten bekommen.
Die BITV ist naturgemäß stellenweise abstrakt, ähnlich wie die verwandten englischen Texte des W3C. Um die Verständlichkeit zu erhöhen, haben wir eine [...]

Cross-Browser: es wird immer besser – oder doch nicht?
Dem im März 2009 erschienenen Internet Explorer 8 wurde von Anfang an eine bessere Unterstützung von Webstandards bescheinigt. Wer Websites macht, wird das bestätigen können. Wer allerdings Javascript-Bibliotheken entwickelt, die von anderen auf ihren Seiten eingesetzt werden sollen, kann ein anderes Bild bekommen.
Mit dem IE6 hat Microsoft die Unterscheidung in “Quirks Mode” und “Standard Mode” [...]

Letting Go of John Hancock
Because clients expect everything to be faster, better, and simpler, web professionals must take an instant, foolproof, paperless, modern approach to how clients approve proposals and sign contracts. Implementing an instantaneous contract agreement helps to get projects off the ground, attract clients on tight timelines, and prevent potential delays. All it takes is a little PHP and some PDF magic.

W3C sperrt Java aus
Heute habe ich bei der Arbeit mit einer XSLT-Engine an meinem Verstand gezweifelt. Die Aufgabe war einfach: Ein kleines Verarbeitungsskript für eine Webseite. Doch leider brach die Verarbeitung immer ab, weil der XSLT-Interpreter die DTD nicht vom Server des W3C laden konnte. Natürlich sollte man besser eine lokale DTD verwenden, dennoch war es überraschend, dass [...]
