Digital Web Magazine - User Interface Implementations of Faceted Browsing

by holyver (via)
Just as it is important to choose the proper knife when slicing-n-dicing vegetables, it is critical to prescribe a suitable user interface to support faceted filtering. Faceted filtering allows you to narrow down a large list of objects to a manageable size by applying flexible combinations of attribute filters in any order. Rather than forcing you down fixed paths within a website’s information architecture, faceted filtering allows you to multi-dimensionally slice-n-dice the information in a manner that best accommodates your specific needs. A user interface that optimally supports faceted filtering must expose its robust functionality in a way that expresses affordances, controls complexity, and follows existing standards that have been pre-established across the web.

The irrelevant attribute has been renamed to hidden.

Fullsize : A New IMG Tag Attribute

by ycc2106 & 2 others
Even though Fullsize is not currently in the next HTML spec (yet :), you can still get Fullsize for FREE! I created a jQuery Plug-In that does just what is described above and what you see in the video below. Since there is no fullsize attribute for the <IMG> tag yet, I am using the longdesc attribute instead. longdesc is a completely valid image attribute and is meant to contain a URL to a description of the image. The Fullsize jQuery plug-in is super easy to use, and provides a kick start to standardizing the way image pop-ups look and work.

A Survey of Rel Values on the Web » DeWitt Clinton

by karlcow 2 comments

The mapreduce scanned approximately 177 million recently crawled HTML documents, parsing and counting rel values in link and anchor tags along the way. In those 177M documents, I found just over 19 billion <a> and <link> tags in total. And of those 19B tags, 1.8 billion of them contained a non-empty rel attribute.

Welcome to Tal4Rdf — Tal4Rdf v0.2 documentation

by karlcow

Tal4Rdf (or T4R) is a template language for presenting RDF data into other formats. T4R is based on Zope’s Template Attribute Language. This makes it well suited to produce HTML or any XML-based format (see why). But it can also produce non-XML formats.

XHTML Role Attribute Module

by greut (via)

The attribute describes the role(s) the current element plays in the context of the document. This can be used, for example, by applications and assistive technologies to determine the purpose of an element. This could allow a user to make informed decisions on which actions may be taken on an element and activate the selected action in a device independent way. It could also be used as a mechanism for annotating portions of a document in a domain specific way (e.g., a legal term taxonomy).

how you can improve the definition of what is what. Those roles are present into ARIA.

Web Access Centre Blog :: Too much accessibility - TITLE attributes

by greut

People with dyslexia: often prefer not to have “tooltips” popping up, as they can be a serious distraction to the process of reading the text. If they have moved to a standards compliant browser to get away from the ALT attribute popping up in Internet Explorer, imagine how delighted they might be to find a site that has more TITLE “tooltips” than a leopard has spots.

a more and more seen bad practice, using TITLE instead of ALT.

HTML 5 Editor Ian Hickson discusses features, pain points, adoption rate, and more

by marco
HTML4 requires alt but doesn't give any advice about how to use it. With HTML5, I added a long section that describes how to use it in detail and said that in some cases (e.g., webcams), there might not be any useful replacement text, and so it would be ok in those cases (and only those cases) to omit the attribute. This caused a firestorm of protest from so-called accessibility experts.

Screen reader software support for the TITLE attribute.

by greut

This testing [ongoing] has been motivated by the desire to clarify how and if screen reading software renders text content contained within the TITLE attribute.

Accessibility footnotes | And all that Malarkey

by greut (via)

When graphics or images contain content that cannot be adequately described in the few words available inside an alt attribute, a longer description should be provided.

VatorNews - Closing the Engagement Gap

by dimelo
A few weeks ago, I discussed the 2008 Tribalization of Business Study, sponsored by Beeline Labs, Deloitte, and the Society for New Communications Research, to discuss the gap between the importance many enterprises attribute to the development of communities and the accompanying investment in that engagement strategy, whether focused on internal stakeholders, or externally on customers. I noted that the findings of the Tribalization study point to a Community Gap.

Unit PNG Fix

by tbeaumanoir & 2 others
Waaaaah! Waaaaaah! You hear that? That’s IE6 whining about how you should be using an obtuse “filter” attribute, causing all those nice, pretty pngs on your page to go whacky. Fortunately for you, we got just the thing to shut it up. Give it just the tiniest dose of our Unit PNG Fix and bask in the the glorious phosphoresence of your png images once again! While this is not the only png fix out there (in fact, it was inspired by Drew McLellan’s supersleight), here’s why it will be the last one you need to download:

RSStatic Overview - RSS reader aggregates, displays, and archives any RSS news feed and creates static html pages.

by mozkart
RSStatic gives you to ability to continuously expand your site with almost no effort. By using the freely available RSS feeds of your choice, you can add huge amounts of s.e.o. friendly content to your site. By simply inputing your required information, a small niche oriented website can grow from just a few static pages to a few hundred relevant pages in very little time and will continue to grow. To accomplish this, RSStatic reads more of the information provided by the feeds than most aggregators. Most RSS readers simply output a headline linked directly to the article, leaving you giving away page rank. What RSStatic does different is that it takes those headlines, creates a page for each article in the feed, actually uses the description/blurb provided in the RSS feed as the content for the page and then creates a "read more" link to the full article. It also uses the title of the new article as part of the filename for each page, providing yet another search engine friendly attribute.
