okay... so I have just been psuedo-promoted (which means "better status" but "no raise" lol) into a new department, and I figured that I would try to be as compliant as possible right from the beginning.
3 days-in... I get a request for something that would use a new version of my (now famous) javascript drop-down menu ...
which I originally rifled from:
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex1/hvmenu/index.htm">http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicinde ... /index.htm</a><!-- m -->
...and I notice that it ceases to function (or even appear) if the following (now necessary) DTD is inserted on the same page:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
I understand that a javascript-generated menu will fail for 1 of every 10 users (yadda, yadda, yadda
)...
but this menu will be on an intranet with a target audience of about 125 javascript-enabled mouse users with no known disabilities (I actually inquired
)... so I thought that we could use it (as per the user's request).
But... if this menu is completely off-the-map and will not cause a favorable valaidation check... then screw it! (ooh. sorry... i'm gettin a little agitated i guess).
Anyway...
Is this menu truly not compliant with that DTD... or am I missing something?
And if it is... do all javascript menus also fail for the same reason?
Does anyone know the answer to that?
may need to re-learn and un-learn again ...
