Oh, what am I doing?

Post #277,042 by pwhysall 12/31/06 3:15:24 AM Reply	Oh, what am I doing? Excuse: it was late. Graphical previews of HTML files? On the World Wide Web? What an utter pillock. Apologies if I disrupted your idiot-fields. Just click [link\|http://homepage.ntlworld.com/peter.whysall1/css_test1.html\|here], like a normal person would have told you to do in the first place.

[link\|http://juicystudio.com/article/colour-contrast-analyser-firefox-extension.php\|Colour Contrast Analyser]. It flags the pale blue on black and dim white on black as being something to avoid. It is a little hard to read. Just something to think about. Cheers, Scott.

Suggestions welcome - it seems difficult to select a colour that still looks hyperlinky but isn't #0000FF Peter [link\|http://www.no2id.net/\|Don't Let The Terrorists Win] [link\|http://www.kuro5hin.org\|There is no K5 Cabal] [link\|http://guildenstern.dyndns.org\|Home] Use P2P for legitimate purposes!

Post #277,054 by Another Scott 12/31/06 11:00:00 AM Reply	Maybe just keep the achors white, with underlines. The [link\|http://www.w3.org/TR/AERT#color\|AERT] discussion at W3C seems to use the same color for anchors as for headings, but with underlining of the links. Also, when you mouse-over the links, the background color changes (similar things happen at LinuxToday). I'd suggest just sticking with white text (or some other high-contrast color) and doing things like the AERT document does. HTH. Cheers, Scott.

The contrast is pretty good, but I still think I like their previous style (that didn't have a black background) better. A problem with this style is clicking on a link gives a news story with black text on a white background. If it's good enough for that, why not for the main page? HTH a bit. Cheers, Scott. (Who still thinks a black background is generally too reminiscent of the 1995 Web.)
